White-label Shopify development for agencies
I do white-label Shopify work for agencies at $45 an hour, under your brand and NDA, with most tickets done in 1 to 2 working days.
I build Shopify themes, fixes and speed work for agencies under the agency's brand, through its repo and project tools. It suits agencies with more Shopify work than developers. I led Shopify and WordPress builds for a branding agency's clients at Fan & Fuel for 18 months. It's $45 an hour, and most tickets take 1 to 2 working days.
Who it's for
- Design and branding agencies that sell Shopify builds without a Shopify developer in-house
- Agencies with more Shopify work this month than their team can take
- Agencies that need a speed or accessibility pass before handing a store to a client
What you get
- Shopify theme builds and customisations from your Figma or Adobe XD designs
- Fixes, new sections and features on your clients' stores
- Speed and accessibility passes, with reports under your agency's branding if you want them
- Work in your Git repo and project tools (Slack, Jira, Asana or ClickUp)
- Loom walkthroughs your team can forward to the client
- Your NDA signed before I see anything
How it works
- 01 An intro call and your NDA
- 02 One small paid ticket first, so you can review my code
- 03 Then hourly tickets or a monthly block of hours
- 04 A weekly log of hours per ticket with each invoice
Starts within a week. Most tickets take 1 to 2 working days; full theme builds follow the custom theme timeline of 3 to 5 weeks.
When you don't need me
I'm one developer. If you need three people on the same deadline, hire a team, or use me as one of them. And if your agency needs native Shopify B2B or Magento work, read the notes on the Shopify Plus and migration pages first.

FAQ
Questions
Only if you ask me to, and then under your agency's name. I don't approach your clients directly or pitch them work, during the project or after it.
No. White-label work stays out of my portfolio unless you tell me in writing that I can show it.
$45 an hour, logged per ticket and invoiced weekly. If your work is steady, you can book a monthly block of 10 or more hours instead. Payment is by Wise, Payoneer, direct bank transfer or Upwork.
Yes. Start with one small paid ticket and review the code in your own repo before giving me anything bigger.
