Shopify App Store Developer
UK eCommerce Awards FinalistBrighton commerce is shaped by independent retail, tourism, food and drink, creative services and digital-first founders, with storefronts and stockrooms often serving customers far beyond the seafront.
Takeoff Digital is a Shopify agency working with Brighton brands and a published Shopify App Store developer, building reliable Shopify and Shopify Plus storefronts, private apps, integrations and migration paths engineered for busy teams, seasonal demand and multi-channel growth.
From a North Laine independent scaling its first DTC range to a Portslade trade supplier replacing spreadsheet orders, we shape product data, checkout, fulfilment and customer accounts around how each Brighton business actually sells.
Beyond Brighton Sales
We help Brighton brands turn local recognition, visitor demand and strong visual identity into national and international Shopify revenue, with clean catalogues, scalable fulfilment logic and conversion-focused journeys.
Ready for Peaks
Coastal trading can mean sharp spikes around weekends, events and summer footfall. We build Shopify foundations that stay stable as orders, channels, content and integrations expand.
Decisions from Data
Brighton merchants need more than a good-looking storefront. We configure analytics, tracking, merchandising tests and reporting so teams can see what improves margin, conversion and repeat purchase.
Takeoff x Brighton
North Laine and The Lanes are strong for independent retail and gifts, Kemptown and Hove mix hospitality with lifestyle services, Brighton Marina adds leisure-led demand, while Portslade and Hollingbury Industrial Estate support trade, storage and fulfilment operations.
A boutique may need Shopify POS and tidy stock control, a hospitality operator may sell vouchers, merchandise or subscriptions, and a trade supplier may need customer-specific pricing and account ordering. We do all of them on Shopify.
Brighton businesses still need the unglamorous details right: GDPR-compliant data capture, UK VAT, fulfilment rules, returns handling, and UK-first payments alongside Shop Pay and PayPal, especially where shop-floor sales and online demand overlap.

UK-Hours Support with SLA
Your store doesn't run 9-to-5, and your busiest traffic doesn't wait for office hours. Our support retainer covers full UK business hours with defined SLAs, plus on-call cover for Black Friday, Boxing Day and campaign launches — the moments where downtime costs real money.
UK-Hours Rapid Response
UK-time support that lines up with your team. Same-timezone response for critical issues, no overnight handoffs to teams in other regions.
Proactive Monitoring
24/7 uptime, performance and checkout monitoring. We see the Shopify issue before your customer does — and usually before your CS team does too.
Peak Season Cover
BFCM, Boxing Day and campaign cover with named engineers on-call. Pre-agreed scaling plans so your Shopify Plus store holds up when it matters most.

Shopify Agency Brighton FAQ
Do you meet clients in person in Brighton?
Yes, where it adds value. Takeoff Digital is a UK-based Shopify team working remotely with Brighton businesses, and we can arrange in-person sessions around the town centre, North Laine, Hove or the station area when useful.
How much does a Shopify project cost?
As a guide, theme builds start from £15k, while Shopify Plus and headless projects typically start from £45k. Migrations are scoped separately because data, redirects, integrations and catalogue complexity vary. We provide fixed pricing after discovery.
Can you help a Brighton brand move to Shopify Plus?
Yes. Shopify Plus is worth considering when you need advanced B2B, higher-volume trading, international storefronts, automation, complex integrations or greater control over checkout. We help assess whether Plus is commercially justified before recommending it.
Do you migrate from Magento, WooCommerce or BigCommerce?
Yes. We plan migrations from Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and other platforms, covering product and customer data, URL mapping, redirects, theme rebuilds, app selection, tracking and launch checks so the move is controlled rather than rushed.
Do you support SEO and CRO after launch?
Yes. After launch, we can support technical SEO, speed improvements, analytics, conversion testing, merchandising changes and landing-page optimisation. Brighton brands often need to turn local awareness and seasonal demand into repeatable online revenue.
Can Shopify support both shop-floor and online sales for Brighton retailers?
Yes. Shopify can connect online trading with in-store stock, click and collect, POS workflows, gift cards and customer profiles. That is useful for retailers balancing local footfall, visitor purchases and orders from customers outside Brighton.
