Selling from Austria means EU VAT handled through OSS, prices displayed inclusive of tax as Austrian consumers expect, a Widerrufsbelehrung and Impressum that are present and correct, and shipping into Germany and Switzerland priced properly — with Switzerland outside the EU customs union and behaving differently. I configure the tax and market setup first, then build the theme, because a store that gets VAT display wrong creates legal problems rather than merely commercial ones.
Shopify Developer — what that actually means
Most Shopify stores that come to me do not need to be rebuilt. They need three or four specific things fixed, and the reason they have not been is that the store is running fifteen apps and nobody knows which ones matter any more.
App accumulation is the defining Shopify problem. Each app injects scripts, each script costs load time, and the cumulative effect on a mid-range phone over mobile data is a product page that takes long enough to lose a meaningful share of paid traffic before it renders. The first thing I do on an existing store is audit what is installed against what is actually used, because removing four apps often produces a bigger conversion gain than a redesign would.
Beyond that, the work splits between theme development — custom sections your marketing team can rearrange without breaking the layout, done in Liquid or Hydrogen — and the commercial configuration that determines whether the store works in your market at all: payment methods, market and currency setup, shipping rules, tax, and subscription or bundle logic that behaves correctly at the edges.
What is included
What Shopify development covers for an Austrian client.
Custom theme development
Built from your design in Liquid, with flexible sections your team can rearrange in the theme editor without producing something broken.
Theme customisation and fixes
Targeted work on an existing theme — product page changes, cart drawer, filtering, bundles — without a full rebuild.
App audit and removal
Identifying what each installed app costs in load time and monthly fee, and replacing the ones that can be done in the theme for nothing.
Shopify Markets and currency
Multi-market setup with correct currency presentment, regional payment methods, tax and shipping rules per destination.
Headless with Hydrogen
React storefronts on Shopify's headless stack, where the interface genuinely justifies leaving the standard theme model.
Speed and conversion work
Image handling, script deferral, lazy loading and layout stability — measured on a mid-range phone, not on your laptop.
What you actually receive
- Custom sections documented so your team knows what each one does
- App audit with monthly cost and load-time impact per app
- Mobile performance measured before and after, on real devices
- Payment and shipping tested with live transactions before launch
- Theme kept in Git, not edited directly in the admin
- Handover session covering the theme editor and product setup
Built with
Nothing proprietary, nothing niche enough that your next developer cannot pick it up.
Related services
From first call to handover
Four stages, with something visible on a staging URL from early on rather than a reveal at the end.
Audit the store
Apps, theme customisations, speed on mobile and where the funnel actually loses people. Findings in writing before any work is proposed.
Fix the expensive things first
Usually app bloat and product page speed, because they affect every visitor rather than a subset.
Theme work
Custom sections and design changes, built in Git on a development theme rather than edited live.
Market configuration
Payments, currencies, tax and shipping verified with real transactions before the store goes live in a new market.
Three things that decide whether this arrangement suits you
Your whole working day is covered
India is three and a half to four and a half hours ahead of CET. My afternoon and evening span your full day, so there is no waiting and no batching of questions into a single call.
Precise scope, fixed price in euros
A detailed written specification with fixed pricing and milestone dates before work begins. Austrian clients tend to want the detail up front, and I would rather write it than argue about it later.
Full code ownership and clean handover
Your repository, your hosting account, documented architecture and a handover session. If the relationship ends, an Austrian agency can pick the project up without a discovery phase.
