Shopify agency · New York City, NY
Shopify agency in New York City: Shopify and Shopify Plus stores for New York’s fashion, beauty and wholesale brands.
New York is where fashion and beauty brands are launched, shown to buyers and sold to the rest of the country. Its Shopify stores run on a wholesale calendar as much as a retail one: showrooms and trade shows, drops and press, Brooklyn DTC brands and Manhattan houses with a hundred doors. We build the storefronts, the wholesale portals and the integrations behind them, on Shopify and Shopify Plus.
Shopify agency in New York City
What a Shopify agency has to get right in New York City.
Written for New York City, not swapped in from another city.
A New York brief almost always has two sides. The DTC storefront has to carry a brand at the level its press and its Fashion Week presence set — fast, precise, editorial — and the wholesale side has to serve buyers who order by line sheet, expect terms, and reorder between market weeks. Behind both sit the Garment District and the showrooms, a 3PL in New Jersey, and a city of customers who expect delivery tomorrow.
We build for both sides on one Shopify Plus store: the storefront to the brand’s standard, B2B company accounts with line sheets, terms and reorder flows, POS for the store or the pop-up, and the integrations with the 3PL across the river. The studio is in Wyoming and Lahore; we travel to New York for kickoff, work in Eastern time, and price in writing before work starts.
What we build for New York City brands
Six things New York City stores need more than most.
Each links to the New York service page where the scope, process and price live.
Editorial storefronts
Themes built pixel-for-pixel from a designer’s Figma, fast and precise, with the content controls a brand team needs between drops.
Shopify Plus development in New YorkWholesale portals on Shopify Plus B2B
Company accounts, line sheets and price lists, minimums, net terms and reorders for the buyers you meet at market week, beside the DTC storefront.
B2B and wholesaleFashion and beauty catalogues
Size, fit and shade logic, pre-orders and drops, UGC and reviews wired into product data.

Local facts that change a build
New York City in five lines: tax, time, peaks, logistics, buyers.
The five things we configure before a New York City store launches.
- Sales tax
- 8.875% in New York City (4% state, 4.5% city, 0.375% MCTD); clothing and footwear under $110 per item are exempt in the city, a rule Shopify Tax applies by product category when the catalogue is set up correctly.
- Time zone
- Eastern. Calls in New York hours; the build keeps moving overnight.
- Peaks
- The holiday season, Fashion Weeks in February and September, the NY NOW trade shows for wholesale, and a drop calendar that runs all year.
- Logistics
- The Port of New York and New Jersey, JFK, and 3PLs in New Jersey serve most city brands; inside the five boroughs, courier and same-day delivery are an expectation rather than a feature.
- Buyers
- The densest fashion and beauty customer base in the country, wholesale buyers who order by line sheet, and tourists shipping home; every one of them notices a slow page.
How we work with New York City brands
From a $1,500-a-month retainer to a full Shopify Plus build.
Same engineers, same written scope, whatever the size.
Read the store first
Theme, apps, speed, analytics, the systems behind it. The free audit tools on this site are the same ones we run; the written answer says whether you need a retainer, a project or a build.
Request the free auditOne number, in writing
Retainers from $1,500 a month; projects and Shopify Plus builds scoped as one figure with a launch date, before anything is billed.
How engagements startKickoff in person, build in your hours
We travel for kickoff on larger builds; from then on, weekly build reviews you can watch, calls in your time zone, and a written reply within twelve hours.
How we work with brandsLaunch, then thirty days of defect support
A launch checklist, a hand-over document for your team, and the same engineer available from day 31 on a retainer if you want one.

New York
The rest of New York, and the state-wide services.
New York City is one of four New York metros with its own page; the Shopify agency in New York page holds the state-wide services, and every New York service page below is written for the state rather than a city.
Questions New York City brands ask first.
Do you have an office in New York?
No. Aqsa Shahzad Official LLC is registered in Sheridan, Wyoming, with engineering in Lahore; we travel to New York for kickoff on larger builds and run calls in Eastern time. The New York agency comparison shows which agencies print a New York office on their own sites.
Can wholesale and DTC run on one Shopify store?
Yes, on Shopify Plus B2B: company accounts with line sheets, price lists, minimums and terms beside the retail storefront, one inventory, one set of integrations.
Can you handle the clothing tax exemption?
Yes. Shopify Tax applies New York’s exemption for clothing and footwear under $110 per item when products are categorised correctly; we set the categories up and test them before launch.
What does a Shopify agency cost in New York City?
A monthly retainer from $1,500, or a project or Shopify Plus build scoped as one written number after we have read the store. No New York premium and no day rate.
Can you connect our store and our pop-ups?
Shopify POS for stores and pop-ups on one inventory with the site, local delivery and same-day options for the boroughs, and orders reconciled to one back office.
How fast can a store launch before Fashion Week?
A private-label launch runs four weeks; a Plus build with wholesale runs eight to fourteen. If the show is closer, the scope says what ships first and what follows.
