Shopify App Store Developer
UK eCommerce Awards FinalistEdinburgh mixes high-footfall retail, visitor-led hospitality, professional services, food and drink, creative makers and B2B suppliers, giving ecommerce teams a demanding blend of brand, operations and conversion challenges.
Takeoff Digital is a Shopify agency working with Edinburgh brands and a published Shopify App Store developer, building engineered-for-scale Shopify and Shopify Plus stores, custom apps, integrations and support structures for serious ecommerce operations.
From a Stockbridge independent scaling its first DTC range to a Sighthill or Bankhead operator modernising B2B ordering from legacy software, we shape Shopify around the commercial model, customer journey and operational reality.
Reach Beyond Edinburgh
We help local brands sell far past the city’s retail streets, with storefronts, markets, fulfilment logic and international-ready Shopify architecture for UK, European and wider customer demand.
Scale Without Friction
Theme code, checkout decisions, apps, APIs and ERP connections are planned so busy Edinburgh merchants can grow product catalogues, campaigns and trade channels without rebuilding every year.
Evidence-Led Growth
We connect Shopify performance to analytics, merchandising, conversion tests and retention work, so decisions are based on revenue signals rather than opinions from the highest-paid person in the room.
Takeoff x Edinburgh
George Street, the New Town and Princes Street serve premium retail and destination shopping; Stockbridge, Bruntsfield and Morningside support independents and lifestyle brands; Leith and Portobello add food, drink, makers and hospitality-led commerce; Sighthill, Bankhead and South Gyle bring B2B and logistics needs.
A visitor-focused gift brand needs fast mobile discovery and smooth payments; a food producer needs subscriptions, bundles and fulfilment rules; a trade supplier needs account pricing and repeat ordering. We build all of them on Shopify.
Edinburgh brands still have to handle UK VAT, GDPR, stock visibility, delivery expectations and payments that suit local and international buyers. We combine UK-first methods with Shop Pay, PayPal and retail-to-online journeys where needed.

Design & Development
Integrations & Operations
Growth & Optimisation
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 Edinburgh FAQ
Do you meet clients in person in Edinburgh?
Yes, where it is useful. Most projects run efficiently through structured remote workshops, but we can meet in Edinburgh for discovery, planning or key reviews. We are a UK-based Shopify team working with brands in the city, not based there.
How much does a Shopify project cost?
As a guide, theme builds start from £15k, while Shopify Plus and headless projects start from £45k. Migrations are scoped separately because data, integrations and redirects vary. We provide a fixed price after discovery.
Do you build Shopify Plus stores for Edinburgh businesses?
Yes. We build Shopify Plus for merchants that need advanced checkout options, multiple markets, complex integrations, B2B features, higher-volume trading or more control over operations. We recommend Plus only when the commercial case is clear.
Can you migrate us from Magento, WooCommerce or BigCommerce?
Yes. We plan product, customer, order, content and URL migration carefully, then manage redirects, SEO risk, app replacement and launch testing. Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and bespoke legacy platforms can all be assessed during discovery.
Can you support SEO and CRO after launch?
Yes. Post-launch support can include technical SEO checks, analytics setup, speed improvements, conversion testing, merchandising recommendations and Shopify development retainers. The focus is practical optimisation that improves trading performance, not vanity reports.
Can Shopify handle Edinburgh’s seasonal visitor demand?
Yes, if the store is planned properly. We can configure product drops, gift cards, collection merchandising, mobile-first checkout, fulfilment rules and campaign landing pages for peaks around tourism, festivals, Christmas trading and local retail events.
