Shopify Agency Credentials: What We Can Prove and the Standards We Hold

Badges are easy to display and hard to verify. This page lists only what we can stand behind, then describes the working standards that apply to every order.

  • Shopify is the only platform we work on
  • More than 450 stores designed and launched
  • Average client rating of 4.9 or higher
  • Written standards on every order

Our approach to credentials

Why We Do Not Fill This Page With Badges

A credential only helps if you can check it.

Many agency sites carry rows of logos, awards and partner marks. Some are earned and some are bought, and from the outside they look identical. We would rather tell you what we can prove and let you check it than ask for trust on the strength of a badge.

What we can state plainly is that we work only on Shopify, that we have designed and launched more than 450 Shopify stores since 2015, and that our verified clients rate us 4.9 or higher on average. If we add a certification or award later, it will be named, dated and linked to the body that issued it.

Credentials say who you are hiring. Standards say how the work is done, and those matter more once the project starts. The next sections describe the standards that apply to every order.

Working standards

Standards Applied to Every Order

Shopify only

One platform means the sections, settings, limits and shortcuts of Shopify are familiar and nothing is guessed from another system.

A safe copy first

Changes are made in a duplicate theme or as files outside the store, so the live shop keeps selling.

Tested before review

Work is checked on real phones, tablets and desktops before you see it.

Your accounts stay yours

We work as a collaborator, never ask for the owner password and you can remove access at any time.

Two revision rounds

Every package includes two rounds of changes so the result matches the brief.

A written record

Each job ends with written notes and a recorded walkthrough.

In depth

How to Check Any Shopify Agency's Credentials

A credential is only useful if you can verify it. Here is how to check an agency's claims, ours included.

Agency websites often show rows of badges and logos. Some are earned, some are bought and some are simply decoration. Before you rely on a claim, run through a few simple checks.

Check the claim is specific

Vague phrases such as top-rated or award-winning say nothing. A real credential names the body that issued it, the date and what it was for. If those details are missing, treat the claim as marketing.

Check the source

Ratings should link to the platform where the reviews were left. Certifications should link to the issuer. Client logos should come with permission and a way to confirm the relationship.

Check it is current

Partner tiers and certifications can lapse or change. Ask whether the credential is still active.

Check the process behind it

Credentials describe who you are hiring. The way they work describes the experience you will have. Ask how access, testing, revisions and handover are handled, and whether it is written down.

What we state on this page is limited to what we can prove: we work only on Shopify, have launched more than 450 stores since 2015 and hold an average rating of 4.9 or higher from verified clients.

Standards in practice

What Each Working Standard Looks Like to You

Standards are easiest to judge by their effect on a project.

Shopify only

Fewer surprises: the sections, limits and shortcuts of the platform are familiar.

A safe copy first

Your live store keeps selling and the original theme stays as a backup until you approve.

Tested before review

Your review time goes on decisions and not on finding bugs.

Your accounts stay yours

You can add and remove our access at any time.

Two revision rounds

The result is brought to the written scope without extra fees.

A written record

You or the next person can see exactly what changed and where.

Why standards matter

Credentials Tell You Who, Standards Tell You How

Most disappointing projects fail on process, not on skill.

When a Shopify job goes wrong, it is usually because of something ordinary: an unclear scope, a change made on the live store, a missing test or no record of what was done. The standards on this page are aimed at those ordinary causes.

  • Written scope. Avoids the argument about what was promised.
  • Safe copy. Avoids breaking the live store.
  • Real-device testing. Avoids discovering a layout bug after launch.
  • Collaborator access. Avoids sharing a password.
  • Revision rounds. Avoids unlimited back-and-forth.
  • Written handover. Avoids dependence on one person's memory.

None of these require special certificates. They require discipline, which is why we describe them plainly and apply them to every order.

What are Shopify expert standards and Shopify quality standards?

Shopify expert standards are the habits that make a project safe and clear: written scope, safe copy, real-device testing, collaborator access, revision rounds and a written handover. Shopify quality standards are best judged by how a project is run.

How do I get Shopify certification or become a certified Shopify expert?

Shopify offers free training through its Academy, and learning resources and courses with certificates are available from several providers. To become a Shopify expert, build real stores, learn the platform's limits and keep a record of your work.
