I help smart DTC brands dramatically improve their bottom line through rigorous, data-driven experimentation across the customer journey. Helping 7, 8 and 9 figure brands scale profitably is what I excel at. I do this through 1) focusing on contribution margin as my north star metric, and 2) strategic A/B testing fueled by extensive customer research. Here's what one of my former clients had to say about me: Luka is a rare mix of strategic and hands-on — he doesn’t just talk about ideas, he executes them. During our time working together, he helped professionalise our marketing systems, improved conversion across key funnels, and consistently brought clarity to complex problems. What stood out most was his clarity of thought, detailed consumer and market analysis combined with a deep understanding of website performance. This translated into very significant performance gains on our website. We saw increased sales, conversion rates and customer retention. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Luka to any founder or leadership team looking for someone who delivers real results.
Find the Best Shopify Experts in Australia
One detail decides how quickly an Australian store can go live. GST runs through Shopify's Basic Tax service here, and that service needs your tax registration number before it does anything. Have it ready before your expert starts.
As of October 2026, 74 Shopify experts in Australia list a profile on shopexperts: 67 agencies and 7 freelancers. Nearly all handle store setup and most build on Shopify. Consulting is listed almost as often as marketing, so plenty of these teams sell strategy alongside delivery.
That's useful if you're rebuilding how the business sells online. It's overhead if you only need a theme fixed.
Judge each one on the Australian stores it has launched, then shortlist three below and send each the same brief.

Australia's Shopify bench: agency-led and strategy-heavy
Consulting almost matches marketing. 49 of the 74 experts based in Australia list Marketing & Growth and 46 list Consulting & Strategy. If a candidate proposes a paid discovery phase, it can earn its fee on a replatform. On a defined fix, skip it.
Agencies, mostly. 67 of the 74 experts based in Australia are agencies and 7 are freelancers, more than nine firms for every solo specialist. If you want one person doing the work and taking the calls, start with those seven profiles.
Development is the norm, tax is rare. 71 list Store Setup & Management and 61 list Shopify Development, but only 3 list Finance, Taxes & Compliance. Expect whoever builds your store to set up GST as well, and ask each candidate how they've handled it before.
Cities and languages. Profiles name Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Perth and South Yarra. Remote delivery is normal for Shopify work, so a store in Perth can hire Shopify developers in Australia based in Sydney or Melbourne without giving much up. English is on 71 profiles; Spanish (5), Italian (3), French (3) and Hindi (2) are rare, so a store selling in another language may need a separate translator.
Who appears below. Australian profiles sit at the top. Beneath them you'll find experts from other countries who serve Australian and New Zealand stores too. Scroll past the local profiles if none fits your budget or your stack.
Shortlist on category first. A store that needs a rebuild wants development depth; a store with traffic but weak sales wants the marketing side. Then ask each candidate for one Australian store they launched and how long it really took.
What do Shopify experts and agencies in Australia charge?
Starting prices appear on 41 of the 74 Australian profiles. They're quoted in US dollars as of October 2026, and profiles showing zero don't count. A starting price is the smallest job an expert will price, never a quote for your store.

Convert before you compare. Your Shopify payouts arrive in Australian dollars, and a USD figure can look cheaper or dearer than it is. Ask for quotes in AUD, and ask whether GST is added to the expert's own invoice.
What drives the number. Catalogue size, custom theme work versus an adapted theme, a migration, POS across one or more shops, and how much strategy is bundled in. With consulting on 46 Australian profiles, ask whether a discovery phase is included and whether you can drop it.
For an accurate quote, send your store URL, SKU count, sales channels, deadline and a budget band. The tighter the brief, the closer the first number lands.
What an Australian store needs from its Shopify set-up
GST through Basic Tax. Australia isn't a Shopify Tax region. GST runs through Shopify's Basic Tax service, which requires a tax registration number. Your expert can't finish this part without it, so send the number with the brief and have your accountant check the settings before launch.
AUD payouts. Australian-based stores get Shopify Payments, paid out in Australian dollars. Shopify Capital is offered to eligible Australian businesses, though that's a conversation with Shopify rather than a job for your expert. Do check that payouts land in the right bank account during testing, not after the first sales weekend.
Shops and pop-ups. Australian merchants can order POS hardware direct from Shopify's hardware store. Shopify POS can also turn a phone into a card reader with Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android, but only once Shopify Payments is switched on, so get payments live before you plan a counter around phones.
Language. Admin and checkout run in English. Translation only becomes set-up work if you start selling into non-English markets.
What a good expert asks. Your GST registration status, whether you sell in person, which payment methods you need beyond cards and whether Shopify Payments covers them, and who will own the store and its app subscriptions. If none of these come up in the first call, keep looking.
What experts based in Australia list most
Consulting sits just three profiles behind marketing on the Australian list, and tax work barely registers.

Consulting & Strategy

Shopify experts in Australia: GST, offshore help and other questions
Yes, for contained jobs: a theme change, an app configured, a batch of product pages. You also get the person doing the work on every call. With only seven freelancers among the Australian profiles, though, expect a short list. Once design, build and marketing all have to move together, an agency makes more sense.
Offshore developers can do well on tightly specified development tasks. Set-up decisions are different: GST under Basic Tax, Shopify Payments, POS and Tap to Pay are easier with someone who has configured Australian stores before. If you go offshore, keep GST and Shopify Payments with someone who has set them up for an Australian store, and hand over only work with a written spec.
Shopify's Basic Tax service needs one, so your expert can't complete GST set-up without it. Don't let anyone launch with tax switched off as a workaround. Ask your accountant whether you need to register before you start trading online, and let the expert build everything else while you sort it.
Ask for live Australian stores they built, not mock-ups. Load them on your phone, add something to the cart and walk to the checkout to see how GST appears. Then ask one client what went wrong during the project and how the expert handled it. That answer tells you more than the portfolio.
Look across Australia, in most cases. Shopify projects run remotely, and the best fit for your category may sit in another state. City only matters when you want in-person workshops or help setting up POS in a physical shop. If you're in Sydney and want someone local, start with the Shopify experts in Sydney.
Shopify Partner is Shopify's own programme for agencies and freelancers who build on the platform, and a profile here doesn't confirm it on its own. Ask for the expert's listing in Shopify's Partner Directory, then compare the stores and reviews shown there with what they told you. If the two don't line up, ask why before you sign.
