Shopify Select Partner · Certified Shopify Plus Expert Since 2016
Scaling global commerce through engineering excellence.
What started as a specialized development studio in 2016 has evolved into a Shopify Partner trusted by over 4,000 merchants. We architect the tools that power the modern web.
Our History
From local Shopify experts to global engineering partners.
Tripster Developers took its first office in 2016, a year after founder Pratham Jani started freelancing for online sellers. The mission hasn't changed since: build digital products that actually move the revenue needle.
Today we work with merchants across the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, from offices in Auckland and Sydney and a base in Atlanta, USA, opened in June 2026. As a Shopify Partner building on Shopify Plus, we have collaborated with some of the world's most visionary entrepreneurs. Most of that work runs through our custom Shopify development service, which covers store builds for DTC brands, B2B wholesalers, and hybrid businesses.
Founder story
From a single room to three countries.
Tripster Developers started in a single room with one idea: help people who have a product to sell. This is how founder Pratham Jani grew it, one client at a time.
- 01
2015: helping sellers launch products
Pratham started out freelancing for Amazon sellers and sellers on Japan's Rakuten marketplace. He handled listings, marketplace approvals, GTINs, company registrations, ad spend and paperwork, and advised on product photography so every product looked its best to shoppers.
- 02
The first Shopify clients
As Shopify took off, he found his first Shopify clients on Fiverr and Upwork, listing products at first, then designing storefronts with Liquid and JavaScript. An early full store build for a company in Saudi Arabia left the client so pleased they tipped him as much again. That was when he knew building brands for other people was the work he wanted to do.
- 03
Becoming a Shopify Partner
Requests kept growing, above all from the United States, which he saw as the biggest market for new brands. Pratham met Shopify's partner team in person, joined the Shopify Partner program and became a certified Shopify expert.
- 04
2016: the first office and the first hires
Tripster took its first office in 2016. Pratham was the sole developer, working with one graphic designer on store branding. A content writer followed, so the team could build a brand end to end, from the logo to the last product description.
- 05
A full in-house team
Next came in-house designers, developers and a business development manager, serving clients across the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, from independent stores to enterprise Shopify Plus brands.
- 06
Sydney, then Atlanta
Tripster opened its Sydney office in 2022, and in June 2026 a base in Atlanta, USA, so clients in every market are served properly.
- 07
From services to software
Pratham saw merchants needing features that existing apps didn't really deliver, so he started Miko Apps New Zealand, Tripster's own app studio. Seeing how hard it was to connect Shopify to an ERP, he chose Odoo as Shopify's companion, built the Shopify and Odoo connector, then more apps for Odoo users.
