Shopify App Store Developer
UK eCommerce Awards FinalistStoke-on-Trent’s commerce is shaped by ceramics, homeware, manufacturing, trade supply and practical retail serving the wider Staffordshire market.
Takeoff Digital is a Shopify agency working with Stoke-on-Trent brands and a published Shopify App Store developer, building engineered-for-scale commerce platforms across Shopify and Shopify Plus, from theme development and custom apps to integrations and ongoing optimisation.
From a Hanley independent launching a first DTC range to a Longton manufacturer modernising a B2B ordering portal away from legacy software, we design Shopify builds around real catalogue structure, fulfilment and operational pressure.
Beyond The Potteries
We help Stoke-on-Trent brands sell outside their local catchment, with storefronts, checkout journeys and fulfilment logic built for UK-wide trading, export-ready catalogues and repeatable online growth.
Scale Without Rebuilds
Ceramics ranges, parts catalogues and seasonal homeware edits can become complex quickly. We structure Shopify around clean data, flexible sections, robust integrations and maintainable code.
Commercial Clarity
We focus on measurable ecommerce work: conversion rate, basket value, product discovery, speed, analytics and operational efficiency, not decorative redesigns that make reporting harder.
Takeoff x Stoke-on-Trent
Hanley and the Potteries Centre concentrate city-centre retail, while Burslem, Longton and Stoke carry ceramics, makers and independents. Tunstall, Fenton and Etruria connect trade counters, light industrial firms and A500-linked distribution.
A ceramics studio needs variant-rich product pages and careful packaging messaging; a trade supplier needs account pricing and quick reorder flows; a homeware retailer needs strong merchandising and collection navigation. We build all of them on Shopify.
For Stoke-on-Trent businesses, ecommerce usually has to work alongside showrooms, trade counters, marketplaces and warehouse routines. We account for UK VAT, GDPR, delivery rules, stock feeds and UK-first payments alongside Shop Pay and PayPal.

Shopify Agency Stoke-on-Trent FAQ
Do you meet clients in person in Stoke-on-Trent?
Yes, where it is useful. We work with Stoke-on-Trent businesses remotely as standard, but can arrange in-person discovery, planning or workshop sessions in the city, with most day-to-day delivery handled efficiently online.
How much does a Shopify project cost?
As a guide, Shopify theme builds start from £15k, while Shopify Plus or headless projects usually start from £45k. Migrations are scoped separately. After discovery, we provide a fixed-price proposal based on requirements.
Can you build Shopify Plus stores for Stoke-on-Trent manufacturers and trade sellers?
Yes. Shopify Plus is often a strong fit for higher-volume catalogues, B2B pricing, automation, custom checkout requirements and integration-heavy operations. We assess whether Plus is commercially justified before recommending it.
Can you migrate us from Magento, WooCommerce or BigCommerce to Shopify?
Yes. We plan and deliver migrations from Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and other legacy platforms, covering product data, customer records, URL strategy, redirects, apps, integrations, theme development and launch preparation.
Do you support SEO and CRO after launch?
Yes. Post-launch support can include technical SEO checks, speed improvements, analytics, conversion-rate testing, navigation refinement, landing-page development and merchandising improvements, so the store keeps improving after it goes live.
Can Shopify handle complex ceramics, parts or trade catalogues?
Yes, provided the data model is planned carefully. We structure variants, metafields, collections, filters and search around how buyers actually choose products, whether that means glaze, size, range, pack quantity or trade category.
