Shopify work in Australia ranges from a few hundred dollars for small theme changes to tens of thousands for fully custom builds. Most small stores fall somewhere between $3,000 and $15,000 for a professional setup. These are typical ranges, and every quote depends on scope.
Typical price ranges
- Small fixes and theme tweaks: usually charged hourly, often $80 to $180 an hour depending on experience.
- Store setup on an existing theme: products loaded, payments, shipping, GST and policies set up. Often $3,000 to $8,000.
- Customised theme and larger catalogue: custom sections, filters, integrations. Often $8,000 to $20,000.
- Fully custom design and development: $20,000 and up.
Our own Store package starts from $7,900, with up to 50 products loaded. See pricing.
