Looking for a Shopify development company in the US? shopexperts lists 325 Shopify developers based in the United States: 294 development companies and agencies and 31 freelancers. They handle theme and Liquid work, custom apps, checkout customization, integrations, migrations and Shopify Plus builds. Compare US Shopify development companies by budget, specialism and reviews, then request a free quote in minutes.
Code is delivered remotely, so a developer's track record matters more than their city. Start from a written scope: what you need built, which apps and systems it touches, and how you will know it works. A specific brief gets quotes you can compare line by line.
Then check how each company handles the parts of a US build that go wrong most often.
Sales tax. Since the 2018 Wayfair ruling, states can require you to collect sales tax once your sales there pass their thresholds. Your developer sets up Shopify Tax or your tax app and tests orders to the states you sell to; your accountant decides where you register. Our Shopify tax setup guide covers the settings.
Accessibility. The Department of Justice's guidance since March 2022 says the ADA applies to the websites of businesses open to the public. Ask how the developer tests keyboard navigation, focus states and screen-reader labels on custom sections. Our accessibility guide has the checks.
Privacy opt-outs. State privacy laws, such as California's, give shoppers the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their data. The developer wires pixels and tags so they respect the shopper's choice.
Proof. Ask for live US stores they built in the last twelve months and, on larger projects, speak to two of those merchants.
223 of the 325 US developers on shopexperts list a starting price: the smallest job they will quote, in US dollars. It is not the price of a build.

California has more Shopify developers on this page than any other state (58), followed by Texas (30), Florida (28), Illinois (17), New York and Colorado (14 each). Profiles name cities including Los Angeles, Miami, Austin, Chicago and Houston.
Because the work is remote, a developer in Denver can serve a brand in New York. Location matters more for languages: 82 of the 325 list Spanish, which helps if you sell to Spanish-speaking shoppers.
All 325 list Shopify development. Most cover the work around it too, out of 325:
318 developers
239 developers
194 developers
149 developers
214 list a Shopify Partner tier. For a narrower job, start from the service: checkout customization, custom theme development, store migration or Shopify Plus consulting.
shopexperts lists 325 Shopify developers based in the United States: 294 development companies and agencies and 31 freelancers. California has the most of any state, followed by Texas and Florida.
Of the 223 US developers who list a starting price, the median is $150 and the middle half start between $75 and $1,000. Custom development and app packages on shopexperts have a median of $1,000 (October 2026). Builds, migrations and retainers are quoted per project.
A freelancer suits a defined job such as a theme fix, an app setup or one custom feature. A development company suits builds that need design, development and project management together, or ongoing work with cover for holidays. Most US developers here are companies (294 of 325); for independent developers, filter the list by freelancer.
Not to use Plus features: what your store can use depends on your Shopify plan and the app type, not on your developer's Partner tier. Tier reflects experience with Shopify merchants, so for a Plus build, hire someone who has shipped comparable Plus work and ask for live URLs.
A Shopify developer already knows Liquid, the theme architecture, app and checkout extension rules and how to add features without slowing the store. A general web developer can learn them, but you pay for that learning. Ask for live Shopify work either way.
For theme work: Liquid, Online Store 2.0 sections and blocks, JSON templates and metafields. For custom apps: the GraphQL Admin API, webhooks, app extensions and Polaris. For Plus work: Shopify Functions, checkout extensions, B2B and Flow. For headless: Hydrogen, Oxygen and the Storefront API. Ask for live work or code samples, not a list of claimed skills.
Send the same written scope to two or three companies and ask for a quote broken into phases (discovery, build, testing, launch) with payments tied to milestones. Compare what each phase delivers, not just the total.
