What a Canadian Shopify developer should set up
Code is delivered remotely, so location matters less than experience. A Canadian developer earns their place when the build depends on Canadian rules.
French for Quebec. Quebec's Charter of the French Language requires commercial websites aimed at Quebec consumers to be available in French. That means translated templates, emails and checkout text, not only product copy. 20 of the developers here list French.
Sales tax by province. GST, HST, PST and QST apply differently across provinces. Your developer sets up each registration in Shopify's tax settings and tests real orders to each province. Our Shopify tax setup guide covers the settings.
Consent on sign-up forms. CASL needs consent before you send marketing email, and a pre-ticked box does not count as express consent. Forms in the theme and checkout have to reflect that.
Selling to the US. Cross-border orders need duties, shipping rates and currency handled at checkout. Ask for a Canadian store they set up for US customers.

If you sell to consumers in Quebec, yes: the Charter of the French Language requires commercial websites aimed at them to be available in French. Shopify Markets and translation apps handle the second language; the developer makes sure every template has it. This is not legal advice.
Yes. 20 of the 72 Canadian developers here list French, which helps with bilingual templates and checking French text in place.
They should. GST, HST, PST and QST apply differently by province, so the developer adds your registrations in Shopify's tax settings and tests orders to each province. Confirm which registrations you need with an accountant first.
Most Canadian developers here are agencies (65 of 72). A freelancer suits a defined job such as a theme fix or an app integration; an agency suits builds that need design, development and project management together.
