Themes That Reflect Your Brand, Engineered to Convert

Off-the-shelf themes are a compromise. We design and build custom Shopify themes that look like your brand, load in under two seconds, and convert better than any template.

  • Fully custom Liquid development
  • Shopify 2.0 sections, metafields, and app blocks
  • Core Web Vitals and mobile performance targets
  • Conversion-focused product and cart experiences
  • Design system aligned to your brand identity
  • Full ownership of theme code on handover

Checkout That Fits How Kenyans Pay

Kenyans pay with M-Pesa. If your Shopify store doesn't make M-Pesa the easiest option, you're losing sales at checkout. We build payment flows that just work.

  • M-Pesa STK Push, Paybill, and Till Number support
  • Card payments (Visa, Mastercard) and PayPal
  • Flutterwave, Pesapal, and DPO integrations
  • Automated payment confirmation and receipts
  • Manual M-Pesa option with order verification
  • Reconciliation with your finance stack

Shopify Development FAQs

Answers to the questions we hear most from Kenyan businesses.

How much does Shopify development cost in Nairobi?
Shopify development in Nairobi typically ranges from KES 250,000 for a focused store build to KES 2,500,000+ for custom themes, apps, and complex integrations like M-Pesa and ERP. Pricing depends on scope, design complexity, and integrations. Techhold Developers provides fixed-scope proposals after a free discovery call.
Can you integrate M-Pesa into my Shopify store?
Yes. Techhold Developers integrates M-Pesa (STK Push, Paybill, Till Number) into Shopify stores using Shopify Payments alternatives, custom payment apps, or manual payment gateways — with automated reconciliation and receipts.
Do you build custom Shopify themes?
Yes. We build fully custom Shopify themes using Liquid, plus Shopify 2.0 sections, metafields, and app blocks — all tuned for speed, mobile-first UX, and conversion. We also customise existing premium themes where appropriate.
How long does it take to build a Shopify store?
A focused Shopify store build typically takes 4–8 weeks. Custom theme builds with complex integrations take 8–14 weeks. Migrations from other platforms take a similar timeframe, and we preserve SEO throughout.
Can you migrate my store to Shopify from WooCommerce or Magento?
Yes. We migrate stores from WooCommerce, Magento, Wix, and custom platforms to Shopify — preserving products, customers, orders, and SEO. Every migration includes a full redirect strategy to protect your existing rankings.
Do you develop custom Shopify apps?
Yes. We build both private and public Shopify apps using Node.js, Remix, and the Shopify App Bridge — for custom functionality, integrations, and workflows that off-the-shelf apps can't deliver.
Who owns the theme and app code after development?
You do. Upon final payment, all custom theme and app code belongs to you. We hand over all repositories, documentation, and platform access.
Do you provide ongoing Shopify support?
Yes. We offer monthly support retainers covering maintenance, new features, CRO, SEO, and SLA-based support. Shopify stores need ongoing optimisation — we're here for the long term.
Do you work with businesses outside Nairobi?
Yes. We deliver Shopify development services to businesses across Kenya — including Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, and Thika — and internationally. All work is delivered remotely with regular video reviews and shared dashboards.
