Shopify agency · Detroit, MI
Shopify agency in Detroit: Shopify and Shopify Plus stores for Detroit’s automotive, workwear and made-in-Detroit brands.
Detroit builds things and sells them with pride: automotive parts and aftermarket accessories, workwear and heritage goods, and a new generation of made-in-Detroit consumer brands. It also sits on the busiest trade crossing between the US and Canada. We build Shopify and Shopify Plus stores that fit that economy.
Shopify agency in Detroit
What a Shopify agency has to get right in Detroit.
Written for Detroit, not swapped in from another city.
An automotive or aftermarket store lives on fitment: the customer knows the year, make and model, and the store must show only what fits. Workwear and heritage brands sell on durability and size, and made-in-Detroit brands sell on a story that has to come through on a product page. Many Detroit sellers also have Canadian customers a bridge away.
We build fitment catalogues with year-make-model search, dealer and fleet ordering on Shopify Plus B2B, heritage-brand storefronts, and Shopify Markets for selling into Canada. The studio is in Wyoming and Lahore; we travel to Detroit for kickoff, work in Eastern time, and put a fixed number in writing first.
What we build for Detroit brands

Speed optimization in Michigan
Local facts that change a build
Detroit in five lines: tax, time, peaks, logistics, buyers.
The five things we configure before a Detroit store launches.
- Sales tax
- A flat 6% across Michigan with no local sales taxes, which keeps the checkout simple; resale certificates are recorded on B2B accounts for dealers.
- Time zone
- Eastern. Calls in Detroit hours; the build keeps moving overnight.
- Peaks
- The holiday season, spring for automotive accessories, the Detroit Auto Show, and winter for workwear and cold-weather gear.
- Logistics
- The Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit–Windsor crossing carry more US–Canada trade than any other point; I-75 and I-94 and DTW serve the rest.
- Buyers
- Enthusiasts who know exactly what fits their vehicle, professional buyers on the B2B side, and Canadian customers across the river.

Michigan
The rest of Michigan, and the state-wide services.
Detroit is the Michigan metro with its own page so far; the Shopify agency in Michigan page holds the state-wide services, and every Michigan service page below is written for the state rather than a city.
Questions Detroit brands ask first.
Do you have an office in Detroit?
No. The company is registered in Sheridan, Wyoming, with engineering in Lahore; we travel to Detroit for kickoff on larger builds and run calls in Eastern time. The US agency comparison by partner tier ranks agencies by the partner tier on their own sites.
Can Shopify handle year-make-model fitment?
Yes, when the data is modelled properly: fitment stored per product, a vehicle selector that filters the catalogue, and “fits your vehicle” confirmation on the product page.
Can our dealers order online at their own prices?
On Shopify Plus B2B: company accounts with dealer tiers, net terms and quick order by part number, synced with your ERP.
What does a Shopify agency cost in Detroit?
Retainers start at $1,500 a month; projects and Shopify Plus builds are one written number sized to the catalogue and integrations.
Can we sell to Canadian customers?
Yes, with Shopify Markets: Canadian-dollar pricing, duties and taxes at checkout, and shipping rules for cross-border orders.
How do you handle Michigan sales tax?
Michigan is a flat 6% with no local rates, configured in Shopify Tax, with exemption certificates on dealer and fleet accounts.
