What we do in Montana
What we build for Montana brands
Five services with their own Montana page, scoped for the traffic swings Montana stores see — summer park tourism, hunting season and the holiday peak — plus the retention and lifecycle work that keeps a Montana store growing after launch, delivered by the same team.
Build
Ecommerce development
Pixel-perfect custom Shopify storefronts for Montana DTC, retail and service-commerce brands — checkout logic, B2B portals, integrations and automation, engineered for the traffic you actually get.
See the service pageMigrate
Platform migration
Move onto Shopify without losing data, SEO or order history. The URL map is built first, source and destination are reconciled row by row, and cutover takes minutes, never a Friday.
See the service pageGrow
Conversion rate optimisation
A/B tests, PDP and checkout audits and heatmap-backed fixes that lift conversion from the traffic Montana stores already have. Audits from $1,800; only significant winners ship.
See the Montana pageSpeed
Speed optimisation
Core Web Vitals fixed in code, not with another speed app. Theme refactor, app and script cleanup, image pipeline — verified on real devices before Montana’s sales days arrive.
See the Montana pageBuild
Headless development
Hydrogen or Next.js on the Storefront API — sub-second load and full design freedom, with checkout, inventory and orders still on Shopify.
See the Montana pageBuild
App development
Custom Shopify and Shopify Plus apps for Montana stores that need behaviour no public app delivers — private apps for internal workflows, public apps for the App Store.
See the Montana pageAi
Agentic commerce
Get your Montana store found, quoted and bought from inside ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI and Perplexity — schema, feeds, agentic storefronts and AI revenue tracked as its own channel.
See the service pageGrow
Email & SMS marketing
Klaviyo flows, campaigns and SMS built and run by the engineers who know your store, so lifecycle revenue is tracked as its own channel rather than guessed at.
See the serviceGrow
Retention & loyalty
Subscriptions, loyalty and the flows that turn a first order into a second — the work that decides whether a Montana store grows after launch or just replaces churn.

Shopify agency in Montana
A Shopify agency in Montana for stores that are not on Plus yet.
Same engineers, same written scope, on Shopify or Shopify Plus.
Not every Montana brand that calls a Shopify agency is on Shopify Plus, and not every one should be. A store doing its first few million on standard Shopify gets the same senior engineers, the same written scope and the same fixed price as a Plus build: a custom theme instead of a customised one, a migration done with a redirect map, the speed fixed in code rather than with another app. When the numbers say Plus — checkout customisation, B2B, more than one market — we say so, and the Shopify Plus page works it out from your figures.
From Billings to Great Falls, calls run in Mountain Time and the local facts that change a build — Montana has no state sales tax; the peaks are summer park tourism, hunting season and the holiday peak — are already in the scope. The pages below are the five services we run for Montana brands; the Shopify agency page has every service, the four ways an engagement starts — from a $1,500-a-month retainer up — and the four places to verify us.
Frequently asked questions.
Do you work with Shopify merchants based in Montana?
Yes. We work with Shopify and Shopify Plus merchants across Montana, including Billings, Missoula, Bozeman and Great Falls, remotely, with calls scheduled in Mountain Time. We travel for kickoff workshops and launch weeks when a project warrants it.
Which services do you offer in Montana?
Shopify Plus development, custom ecommerce development, platform migration, conversion rate optimisation, speed optimisation, agentic commerce and AI visibility, headless development on Hydrogen or Next.js, and custom app development, each with its own Montana page. Everything else we do — retention, email and SMS, SEO and GEO, support — is delivered to Montana brands from the same team. Migrations, B2B, CRO, retention — is delivered to Montana brands the same way.
How much does Shopify Plus development cost?
It is scoped as one written number before any work starts, sized to the catalogue, the integrations and the migration rather than to a rate card — so a Montana brand doing its first million and a Plus brand with an ERP get very different figures for the same page. The smallest way in is a monthly retainer from $1,500; the packages page shows how larger builds are scoped, and what Shopify Plus agencies charge puts the market ranges beside them.
How long does a project take?
Eight weeks on average from kickoff to launch on Shopify Plus. Headless builds take 8–14 weeks, speed optimisation 3–5 weeks and agentic commerce setup 2–8 weeks. We tell you which category you are in during the audit, not after signing.
Can you handle Montana sales tax and multi-location POS?
Yes. Montana has no state sales tax; we configure Shopify Tax or your existing provider for it and for the other states you ship into, and connect POS locations so inventory, customers and orders stay unified across stores and online.
Will the store hold up during summer park tourism, hunting season and the holiday peak?
That is what we build and test for. We load-test against your own peak rather than an average Tuesday, and speed work is verified on real devices and real networks before the season arrives.
Can you build multi-currency and multi-language storefronts?
Yes. Shopify Markets with localised domains, translated content, local currencies and duty handling — a genuinely local experience for every market you sell into, from one Montana store.
What happens after launch?
A monitored launch window, then most Montana clients move into a monthly retainer for development, CRO, lifecycle marketing, SEO and GEO, performance or support, with the same engineers who built the store. 92% of retainers renew.
Is Aqsa Shahzad a Shopify agency in Montana or only a Shopify Plus agency?
Both. We are a Shopify agency — a Shopify Select Partner since March 2022, 5.0 in the Partner Directory — that builds on Shopify and on Shopify Plus for Montana brands in Billings, Missoula, Bozeman and Great Falls. A standard-Shopify store gets the same engineers and the same written scope; Plus is recommended only when the store's numbers call for it. Engagements start from a $1,500-a-month retainer; the full service list and where to verify us are on the Shopify agency page.
