Shopify if staff must run the catalog. Custom if checkout is the product. We say which one in the quote.

Do you take a cut of my sales?

No. You pay the published CAD project fee. Shopify and the card processor take their own Canadian fees.

AI-generated product photography with a Canadian checkout

We pick Shopify when your staff must change a price on a Monday without us. We pick custom when checkout, membership, or wholesale is the product. Headless sits in the middle: Shopify remains the catalog, we build the storefront. The quote names which one before we start.

GST/HST appears before the pay action. Inventory stays with the system you already pay for. We do not invent a second warehouse in our database.

Who it benefits

· Retailers who sell in CAD and need tax, shipping, and inventory to agree.
· Shops that already run Shopify and need the theme, tax, or checkout to tell the truth.
· Teams whose checkout is unusual — memberships, wholesale lists, or hardware in the same cart.

What is included

· Shopify or custom storefront, written in the quote
· Canadian tax, shipping, and a phone-first checkout
· Square or Stripe wired to the catalog
· A real CAD test order, refunded, before launch
· Receipts that can hold English and French
· Staff can change a price without opening a pull request — on Shopify
· Shopify or custom storefront, quoted before we start
· A real CAD test order before launch

What to expect

01
Week 1–2: platform choice, provinces you actually ship, processor, and the test SKU.
02
Week 3–8: catalog, tax, shipping, checkout, and theme or custom storefront.
03
Week 9–14: bilingual receipts if in scope, a paid-and-refunded CAD order, then DNS.
04
Launch support is defects. A new collection after launch is an add-on.
