I'm a Senior Shopify Plus & Commerce Engineer with 8+ years of experience delivering scalable, high-performing eCommerce solutions for growing brands. My primary expertise is Shopify Plus, but my experience extends across the wider commerce ecosystem, including BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Webflow, WordPress and Squarespace. Having worked across multiple platforms, I’m able to approach projects from a broader technical perspective, whether that involves choosing the right architecture, handling a platform migration, connecting external systems or solving complex commerce requirements. My work goes well beyond theme development. I help brands design, build and improve the technical foundations behind their eCommerce operations, including: • Shopify Plus development and custom storefronts • Headless commerce using Hydrogen, React and TypeScript • Custom Shopify apps and bespoke functionality • Admin API, Storefront API, GraphQL and webhook development • ERP, WMS, CRM, fulfilment and third-party system integrations • Checkout Extensibility and Shopify Functions • Shopify B2B and custom commerce workflows • Shopify Markets and international expansion • CRO, Core Web Vitals and storefront performance • Klaviyo and wider eCommerce integrations • High-traffic and BFCM preparation • Long-term technical support and continuous development I’m comfortable working across the full lifecycle of a commerce project, from technical discovery and architecture through development, integration, testing, launch and ongoing optimization. My core technical stack includes Shopify Liquid, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, Hydrogen, GraphQL, HTML/CSS, Shopify APIs and Git/GitHub. I also incorporate modern AI-assisted development workflows using Codex, Claude and Cursor where they can improve development speed, debugging and delivery quality. Alongside engineering, I bring a strong understanding of CRO and storefront UX. That means I don’t look at a feature purely from the perspective of whether it works. I also consider how it affects site speed, customer experience, conversion rates, maintainability and the store’s ability to scale. Over the years, I’ve worked on everything from complex Shopify builds and integrations to migrations, international storefronts, performance improvements and ongoing commerce development. If you’re looking for someone who can combine deep Shopify expertise with broader commerce engineering experience, I’d be happy to discuss what you’re building and how I can help.

Hire a freelance Shopify developer in the UK

What UK freelancers list. Of the 31 UK-based freelancers, 20 list Shopify Development and 19 list Store Setup & Management. Consulting & Strategy (15) and Marketing & Growth (11) come next, and 8 list Design, UX & Branding.

Starting prices. 27 of the 31 show a starting price, in US dollars as of October 2026. The median is $250 and the middle half sits between $85 and $750. A starting price is the smallest job a freelancer will price, not a quote for your store.

How to shortlist. Send the same brief to two or three: your store URL, what needs doing, your deadline and a budget band. Ask each for a UK store they've worked on, and how they handle work outside their own skills, such as design or copy.

United Kingdom Shopify freelancer FAQ

Why hire a UK-based Shopify freelancer?

You get one person who builds, answers your messages and invoices you directly, in your time zone. That suits focused work and ongoing fixes on a store they already know.

Is a freelance Shopify developer or an agency better for my store?

A freelancer suits contained work and gives you a single point of contact. Choose an agency when design, development and marketing have to move together, such as a rebuild or a migration. See Shopify freelancer vs agency.

How much does a freelance Shopify developer in the UK charge?

On shopexperts, UK-based freelancers who show a starting price have a median of $250, with the middle half between $85 and $750 (US dollars, October 2026). Your quote depends on the scope, so send a clear brief before comparing prices.

Where are UK Shopify freelancers based?

21 of the 31 UK-based freelancers work from London. Shopify work runs remotely, so location matters less than the stores they've built. For London only, see Shopify experts in London.
