Shopify Retainers

Work with our Shopify designers, developers, engineers, and marketers to grow your eCommerce revenue.

Shopify brands choose Herd for growth.

We know that choosing an agency for your Shopify retainer is not an easy choice...

There are lots of options on the market, all with their own buzz words, phrases, and propositions.

One thing we've learnt over the years is that Shopify brands value proactivity, clarity, and expertise when choosing a development partner for growth. These values are at the heart of our approach.

Choosing Herd as your Shopify growth partner means:

  • A clear dev roadmap
  • Transparency around hours planned and delivered
  • Access to your own project planning portal
  • Direct communication with developers, designers, and marketers who are working on your store
  • Access to Herd's internal Shopify tools and processes that have been developed over the last decade

Performance-first

At Herd, every Shopify solution is engineered for performance - not just built to work, but built to drive growth.

From SEO-ready architecture to code that makes your paid media perform better, we bake web best practices into every line of functionality. That means faster load times, stronger conversions, and fewer fixes down the line.

Default Shopify

Our philosophy is quite simple: use Shopify to its fullest.

Wherever possible, we build using Shopify’s native functionality - minimising reliance on third-party apps or unnecessary custom code.

The result? Lower ongoing software costs, faster site performance, and a storefront that’s easier to manage and scale.

Low / no code

We give you back the keys to your Shopify store.

Taking a component-first approach to development, we build a toolkit that your eCommerce, marketing, and merchandising teams can leverage across the site - while reducing the need for developers.

Proprietary solutions

As a Herd partner, you get access to a growing library of proven Shopify solutions - built, tested, and ready to deploy.

Need a way to index filters and tap into longtail search opportunity? We've got you covered.

Want a guided selling tool that helps customers selected the right product? We've built it.

Want to serve bespoke offers to logged in customers without a third-party app? You've come to the right place.

Our retainers don’t just keep your store running - they give you access to everything we’ve developed to help brands perform better on Shopify.

Transparent communication

We pride ourselves on transparency - because the best agency/client relationships are built on trust and clear comms.

From roadmaps with clear estimates and delivery schedules, to full access to our project management tools and regular catch-ups with our team, you’ll always know what’s happening, what’s next, and why.

No nasty surprises. Just open, honest collaboration that keeps your Shopify store moving.
