What we do in Texas
What we build for Texas brands
Five services with their own Texas page, scoped for the traffic swings Texas stores see — the holiday peak, back-to-school and rodeo and festival season — plus the retention and lifecycle work that keeps a Texas store growing after launch, delivered by the same team.
Build
Ecommerce development
Pixel-perfect custom Shopify storefronts for Texas 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 Texas stores already have. Audits from $1,800; only significant winners ship.
See the Texas 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 Texas’s sales days arrive.
See the Texas 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 Texas pageBuild
App development
Custom Shopify and Shopify Plus apps for Texas stores that need behaviour no public app delivers — private apps for internal workflows, public apps for the App Store.
See the Texas pageAi
Agentic commerce
Get your Texas 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 Texas store grows after launch or just replaces churn.

What Texas sells online
Four categories that drive Texas ecommerce, and what each one changes in the build.
Written for Texas. Where our own published work matches a category, it is linked.
Texas sells like a country of its own: a western-wear and ranch-goods tradition, a food culture with national reach, an energy economy that buys industrial supplies online, and a steady stream of consumer brands out of Austin and Dallas. These four categories account for most Texas stores, and each one asks something specific of the build.
Western wear, boots and ranch goods
Boots sold by size and width, hats by size and brim, leather goods with personalisation and made-to-order lead times. The catalogue needs variant matrices that do not explode into thousands of SKUs, and a checkout that shows the lead time before the buyer pays.
Shopify Plus development in TexasBarbecue, sauces and Texas food
Rubs, sauces, jerky and smoked meats ship nationally to people who grew up with them. Shelf-stable goods need bundles and gift sets; smoked meats need cold packs, shipping-day rules and a wholesale side for the grocers and restaurants that stock them.
B2B and wholesaleEnergy and industrial supply
Suppliers to the oil, gas and construction trades sell specification-heavy catalogues to professional buyers who order by part number and pay on terms. That is Shopify Plus B2B with company accounts, price lists and quick order, synced with the ERP.
App development in TexasConsumer and pet brands launching direct
Austin and Dallas produce new DTC brands every year that need to launch fast on a custom theme and sell from day one. PawGuard, a pet-safety brand we launched on a fully custom Shopify build with Shopify Markets, is that kind of launch.

Shopify agency in Texas
A Shopify agency in Texas for stores that are not on Plus yet.
Same engineers, same written scope, on Shopify or Shopify Plus.
Not every Texas 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 Houston to San Antonio, calls run in Central Time and the local facts that change a build — Texas charges state sales tax plus local rates; the peaks are the holiday peak, back-to-school and rodeo and festival season — are already in the scope. The pages below are the five services we run for Texas 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 Texas?
Yes. We work with Shopify and Shopify Plus merchants across Texas, including Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio, remotely, with calls scheduled in Central Time. We travel for kickoff workshops and launch weeks when a project warrants it.
Which services do you offer in Texas?
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 Texas page. Everything else we do — retention, email and SMS, SEO and GEO, support — is delivered to Texas brands from the same team. Migrations, B2B, CRO, retention — is delivered to Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas sales tax and multi-location POS?
Yes. Texas charges state sales tax plus local rates; 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 the holiday peak, back-to-school and rodeo and festival season?
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 Texas store.
What happens after launch?
A monitored launch window, then most Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas brands in Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio. 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.
