Why merchants choose us
We know the Australian Shopify market.
Afterpay is table stakes in Australia. So is Zip Pay. So is AUD multi-currency for international sales. We have built dozens of these stores and understand the payment, fulfillment and tax setup that comes with them. Under the local detail it is the same custom Shopify development we run for direct-to-consumer brands, B2B wholesalers and hybrid stores. Brands outgrowing their plan can read our Shopify Plus migration guide for the cost, timeline and launch checklist.
We work from offices in Australia and New Zealand, so you get real-time responses during your business hours, without the delayed-reply cycle of an offshore agency on UK or US time.

Shopify Experts Australia: FAQ
Do Tripster Developers work with Australian Shopify merchants?
Yes. Australian merchants make up a significant part of our client base, across retail, wholesale, fashion, health and consumer goods, on both Shopify and Shopify Plus. We have an Australian base alongside our Auckland headquarters, so working on your business hours is straightforward.
How do I hire a Shopify developer in Australia?
Start with the Shopify Partner directory or a certified Shopify development agency, then check for real App Store apps, verified partner reviews, and fixed-price scoping. Tripster Developers is a certified Shopify Partner: Merchants hire our Shopify developers directly, brief us on the project, and receive a fixed-price quote in AUD within 5 business days. No account manager layer, no offshore handoff.
Can you set up Afterpay for an Australian Shopify store?
Yes. Afterpay is natively supported in Shopify Payments for Australian stores and is a standard part of every Shopify build we deliver. We configure Afterpay, Zip Pay, and other BNPL options as part of the payment setup, alongside Shopify Payments in AUD, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
Can you help with GST setup on a Shopify store in Australia?
Yes. Shopify has solid tax configuration for Australian GST. We configure tax-inclusive pricing, correct GST collection on domestic orders, and tax-exempt settings for exports. For stores using Shopify Plus, we configure tax overrides for specific product types (e.g. food, health products) where GST rules differ.
How much does Shopify development cost in Australia?
Our Shopify prices are USD 99 to 12,000 for theme work, with small fixes from USD 49, quoted in AUD on request. A theme customization of a purchased Shopify theme is USD 99 to 1,000, and a starter store on one is USD 899 to 3,500. A fully custom Shopify theme built from scratch is USD 3,500 to 12,000. Platform migrations from WooCommerce are typically USD 949 to 5,000, and Magento or Shopify Plus migrations start at USD 15,000. Custom apps start from USD 1,800. Tripster Developers provides fixed-price quotes in AUD for every project.
Can you migrate from Magento to Shopify for an Australian business?
Yes. Magento to Shopify and Magento to Shopify Plus migrations are among our most common projects. We handle the full migration: product catalog including complex attribute structures, customer records, and historical orders. This covers URL redirect mapping for SEO preservation, local payment gateway configuration (Shopify Payments, Afterpay, Zip), and local shipping setup (Australia Post, Aramex AU, Sendle). The existing Magento store stays live until launch day.
Does Shopify integrate with MYOB for Australian businesses?
Yes. Shopify integrates with MYOB Business and MYOB AccountRight via third-party apps available in the Shopify App Store. For MYOB Advanced or complex multi-entity accounting setups, custom integration middleware is required. Tripster Developers builds custom Shopify to accounting and ERP integrations.
Which Australian shipping providers does Shopify support?
Shopify supports all major local shipping and fulfillment providers including Australia Post (eParcel and MyPost Business), Sendle (native Shopify integration), Aramex Australia, StarShipit, and Shippit for multi-carrier management. We configure shipping zones, calculated rates, and free shipping thresholds as part of every Shopify build.
Can you build a B2B wholesale store on Shopify for an Australian business?
Yes. Tripster Developers has built Miko B2B Wholesale Pricing, a Shopify app that adds B2B wholesale features to any Shopify plan without requiring Shopify Plus. Features include customer-group pricing, volume-based tiered pricing, net payment terms (net 30, net 60), wholesale registration and approval, and a branded wholesale customer portal. Wholesale merchants here are among its largest user groups.
Who are the best Shopify experts in Australia?
Tripster Developers is a certified Shopify Partner with an Australian base, local business hours and fixed-price project scopes. We have delivered Shopify projects from the eastern states to Western Australia, in retail, wholesale, and industrial sectors. For merchants wanting certified Shopify expertise with direct developer access (no account manager layer), we offer free initial consultations and fixed-price quotes.
Do you have an office in Australia?
Yes. Alongside our Auckland headquarters we have a Sydney office and one in the USA, and we work Australian business hours. We quote in AUD and put a senior developer on the call rather than an account manager.
Are you a certified Shopify Partner in Australia?
Yes. Tripster Developers is a certified Shopify Partner, and we publish our own apps on the Shopify App Store. That is public, checkable evidence of Shopify engineering depth rather than a self-declared badge, and it is the difference between a Shopify partner and a general web agency that also does Shopify.
Do you work across Australian time zones?
Yes. We work AEST, ACST and AWST hours, so a merchant in South Australia or Western Australia is not waiting on an eastern-states reply. Delivery is remote-first, so your time zone changes when we talk, not the service or the price.
Can you handle Shopify integrations with our existing systems?
Yes, and integration work is one of our strongest areas. We connect Shopify to Odoo and other ERPs, to accounting systems including Xero and QuickBooks, to 3PL and warehouse systems, and to marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay and Catch. Sync runs on a queue with retry and error logging so a failure surfaces rather than silently drifting your stock.
Which Australian cities do you serve?
How do Australian Shopify agency costs compare to offshore?
Offshore quotes are usually cheaper per hour and frequently more expensive per project, because the rework, the timezone lag and the account-manager layer are not in the quote. We price fixed per project in AUD, so the number you agree is the number you pay regardless of how long it takes us.
Can you set up Afterpay, Zip and AUD multi-currency?
Yes. Shopify Payments in AUD, Afterpay, Zip and PayPal are standard configuration on our builds. If you sell into New Zealand, the US or the UK we set up Shopify Markets with local currency presentment and appropriate tax handling.
Do you do Australian ecommerce SEO and CRO as well as the build?
Yes. The build ships with technical SEO in place: clean URL structure, structured data, fast mobile templates and a redirect map on any migration. Beyond that we do conversion work on existing Shopify stores, which for most established merchants returns more than a rebuild would.
