Search “Shopify Plus agency Austin”, “Dallas” or “Houston” and page one is full of agencies with a Texas city in the URL. We checked every one of them on 26 September 2026, on their own contact pages, for a Texas address. The result is the most useful thing this guide can tell you: with one exception, none of the Shopify Plus specialists ranking for Texas has an office in Texas. They are New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Montreal agencies with landing pages — and one of them says so on the page itself.
That is not a reason to avoid them. Plus builds are remote work and several of these agencies are excellent. It is a reason to stop choosing on the city in the URL and start choosing on the four things that decide a Texas project: hours of overlap with Central time, experience with the wholesale and B2B channels that a large share of Texas brands run, integrations with the DFW and Houston logistics corridor, and a scope you can read before you pay. We serve Texas remotely too. Our agency is listed first, under its own label; everything said about the others comes from their own websites.
Key takeaways
- Of the agencies ranking for Texas Shopify Plus searches, one prints an Austin address and it is a general marketing agency, not a Plus specialist. Every Plus specialist on page one serves Texas from another state.
- Solo Media Group’s own Dallas page answers “Do you have an office in Dallas?” with “No” and explains how the remote arrangement works. That is the honest version of what every other city page is doing.
- Choose on Central-time overlap, B2B experience and integrations, then get the scope and the price in writing. A build on our packages page costs $40,000–$100,000, or $100,000–$200,000 once integrations are included; the pricing guide explains what moves the number.
Our agency, then the one with a Texas address
Aqsa Shahzad Official — USA (our agency)
Best for: Texas brands that want their Shopify Plus store scoped and built by the same senior engineers, priced in writing up front, and are content to work with that team remotely on Central-time calls.
What our clients’ numbers show:
- A homepage LCP of 1,200 ms on the Shopify Plus store of Gene Juarez, a Washington state group of 13 salons and spas: we migrated it to a custom theme tied to Zenoti, kept its organic traffic through the move and added server-side tracking. Gene Juarez, in detail
- Revenue up 22% at OuchieCap, an inventor-led US maker of children’s comfort products, where our three years of work include a custom theme, the OuchieSnuggles sub-brand and 20 SEO articles. OuchieCap, in detail
- A 63% rise in organic traffic at CocoLash, which sells in person through Shopify POS and online from a single catalogue; we built the store from zero. CocoLash, in detail
How we work with Texas brands: without a Texas office; the team works remotely and books calls around Central time. The Texas hub and its Plus development page list the services. Scope and price are fixed in writing before any work begins, and the person who writes the code is the senior engineer who scoped it. In our published work, Gene Juarez, a Plus store with booking built in, is the closest example; for everything we offer, see Shopify Plus development services.
Pricing: on the site for anyone to read. A launch or replatform runs $40,000 to $100,000, while Plus builds that need integrations run $100,000 to $200,000, and you see your figure in writing before paying anything (view the packages). Book a call to scope your project.
Fahrenheit Marketing — Austin
Best for: Austin businesses that want marketing and a Shopify store build from one local team.
Fahrenheit Marketing prints an Austin, TX address on its contact page and dates itself to 2008. It is a full-service digital marketing agency with a Shopify service page rather than a Shopify Plus specialist: the clients it names are financial advisers, law firms, dental practices and local businesses. If you want an Austin team in the room for marketing and a store build together, it is the local option; if you want engineers who only do Plus, keep reading. fahrenheitmarketing.com
Plus specialists that serve Texas from elsewhere
Netalico — New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, Columbus
Best for: Texas brands that want the most established Plus-only partner on this search and do not need it in the state.
Netalico ranks for Austin, Dallas and Houston with a Plus development page for each; its contact page lists six offices, none in Texas. Founded 2013, it states Shopify Plus Premier Partner status and names GoTags, Mijenta Tequila, Flying Ostrich and Mellow among its clients. The most established Plus-only option on this search. netalico.com
Conspire — Los Angeles
Best for: Texas food, outdoor and building-products brands.
Conspire’s Texas city pages sit on a Los Angeles agency (its structured data lists an LA address and California cities served), founded 2011, stating Shopify Plus Partner status. Named clients: Cousins Maine Lobster, Simms Fishing Products, Tillamook Country Smoker, Nature’s Answer, Portola Paints, Zia Tile — food, outdoor and building products, which is a closer fit to many Texas brands than most portfolios. conspireagency.com
Makro — Montreal and Miami
Best for: Texas wholesale brands that need B2B on Plus and an ERP integration.
Makro’s Austin page offers replatforms, B2B and DTC builds and ERP integrations; its About page places the agency in Montreal and Miami. It states Shopify Plus Partner status and writes case studies with a number attached (360 Cookware, +134% revenue; Bio-K+; Matt & Nat; Clarius). The B2B and ERP emphasis is the relevant part for Texas wholesale brands. makroagency.com
Barrel — New York
Best for: Texas food and beverage brands that sell through grocery distribution as well as direct to consumers.
Barrel has an Austin market page; the agency is in New York, founded 2009, a stated Shopify Platinum Partner, and its client list is CPG through and through — McCormick & Company, The Outset, Sweet Loren’s, Once Upon A Farm, OneSkin, Waterloo, Kite Hill. For a Texas food or beverage brand with grocery distribution next to DTC, that is the profile to compare against. barrelny.com
Shero Commerce — Red Hook, New York
Best for: companies running stores and catalogues side by side that need complex integrations.
Shero ranks for Houston with a development-agency page; its office is Red Hook, NY, founded 2010, stating Shopify Premier Partner status. Its clients run stores and catalogues at once — Regal Cinemas, Sarris Candies, STX, Vienna Beef, Alto Music — and its Plus page leads with complex integrations. sherocommerce.com
Solo Media Group — New York, Los Angeles, Miami
Best for: Dallas brands that want a dedicated senior contact and are content to work remotely.
Solo Media Group’s Dallas page is the honest one on this search: it says the agency has no Dallas office, that its offices are New York, Miami and Los Angeles, and that Dallas brands get a dedicated senior contact remotely. It describes itself as a Shopify Platinum agency and names Wonder Paws and Aspen Publishing in its case studies. solomediagroup.com
Digital Heroes — remote, Central-time availability
Best for: creator, music-merch and DTC brands that want a remote team with Central-time hours.
Digital Heroes’ Austin page pitches creator, music-merch and DTC brands and says the agency works remotely with Central-time availability; its contact page lists no Texas address. It states Shopify Plus Partner and Premier Partner status and dates itself to 2017. The case studies on the pages we checked are described by method rather than by client name, so ask for the names. digitalheroesco.com
What Texas brands should ask that other brands don’t
- Wholesale is not a phase two. A large share of Texas DTC brands — western wear, outdoor, food, home — sell through retailers and distributors as well as online. Ask the agency which B2B builds it has shipped on Shopify Plus, and whether price lists, net terms and company accounts were native Plus B2B or a bolted-on app. Our B2B commerce page describes the native route.
- Logistics through DFW and Houston. Ask which warehouse and 3PL systems the agency has connected to Plus, and how it has handled split inventory between a Texas warehouse and a coastal one.
- Central-time coverage in writing. Every agency on this page will say it covers your hours. Ask for the overlap in hours and who answers a P1 at 4 pm Central on a Friday, and get it into the scope document.

Next step
Shortlist three from the specialists, ignore the city in the URL, and run the 14 questions on all three — question 3 (where is the team and what hours do I get) is the one this page exists for. The 12-agency comparison covers the national picture; the Florida guide is the one state where several specialists do have an office.
