If you want one freelancer for a French store, you have two to choose from. The other 36 Shopify experts in France listed on shopexperts as of October 2026 are agencies, with Paris named most often, then Bordeaux and Nantes.
All 38 work in French. Nearly all list store set-up and development, most add marketing, and about a third list finance, tax and compliance work, which matters once you sell beyond France and need VAT settings that hold up.
For a merchant, an agency-heavy market means proposals with a project lead and a phased plan more often than one person doing everything. Read the starting prices further down, then compare the profiles below and get quotes from two or three agencies on an identical brief.
I help DTC brands ($5M-$100M) break through growth plateaus by diagnosing what's limiting scale - usually they're driving traffic that doesn't convert, customer experience has friction, or teams are misaligned - then building the execution discipline to make growth predictable.
Friction Studio — Conversion-Led Shopify Development for Ambitious Brands Friction Studio is not just a Shopify agency — we are strategic partners for DTC and eCommerce brands that want stores built to perform, scale, and convert.

Freelance Shopify (Plus) Consultant & E-commerce Lead with 17+ years of experience. Specialized in Shopify migrations, B2B & B2C commerce, CRO and interim e-commerce management. I help brands translate business strategy into scalable, high-performing Shopify solutions.
I help e-commerce brands unlock growth, turn attention into action, and transform traffic into meaningful, measurable revenue. For over 5 years, I’ve been passionately focused on conversion optimization and Shopify development, working closely with teams to identify friction points, remove hesitation, and create clear, confident paths to purchase. I don’t just analyze data, I turn insights into impactful improvements that consistently move core KPIs. I’ve partnered with brands across fashion, home, lifestyle, and multiple DTC verticals, delivering strong, repeatable gains in add-to-cart rates, checkout conversion, revenue per session, and full-funnel performance, on average 5-10% improvement. What motivates my work is understanding the real reasons behind user behavior and turning those insights into sustainable, long-term growth. I am now looking to bring this expertise to a dedicated team in a full-time capacity. My approach combines robust quantitative analysis with deep qualitative research, blending GA4, heatmaps, session recordings, and user audits with clear experimentation roadmaps and disciplined A/B testing. This balance allows me to drive reliable results because lasting growth comes from intentional experimentation, thoughtful UX, and confident, data-backed decisions.
We are a UK-based Shopify agency working with ecommerce brands, retailers and B2B operators that need structure, not just speed. As a Shopify Partner, we support scaling teams launching, rebuilding or restructuring on Shopify with commercial discipline from day one.
At OnlyGrowth, we help Shopify and Shopify Plus brands grow through strategic website design and development. We partner with brands to plan, design, and develop high-performing ecommerce experiences, including full website redesigns, custom Shopify theme development, and conversion-focused landing pages built to support acquisition, retention, and long-term customer value. While our core offering is web design and development, we bring a deep growth background to every project. We analyze customer behavior, heatmaps, and data to identify friction points, uncover opportunities, and continuously improve how shoppers move through the store.
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.
The best part about our work is seeing the direct revenue we bring to our clients. That's what keeps email marketing exciting for us on a daily basis. Simple terms -- we help e-commerce brands grow revenue and retention (LTV) through email / retention marketing. We run the whole email channel end-to-end, meaning, you have to do nothing except continue your top-of-the-funnel and operational activities like you do. We will add 30-40% revenue within your current set up. Happy to talk if you're interested.

We can help you plan, launch, and optimize your giveaway campaign from start to finish, with 1-on-1 campaign reviews and custom setup support.
Mostly teams. Thirty-six of the 38 experts based in France are agencies. If you want a direct line to the person writing the code, the two freelancers are your local options.
Paris first, then Bordeaux and Nantes. Other profiles name a spread of cities and towns. Don't limit yourself to the nearest one; the work happens remotely either way, and the best fit for your catalogue may be at the other end of France.
French on every profile, English on most. All 38 list French and 33 list English, so five don't list English. That's no issue for a French founder and worth checking if your team or investors work in English. Five list Spanish; one lists Italian and one Turkish.
Marketing runs deep; tax is a real specialism. Store Setup & Management (38) and Shopify Development (33) lead, with Marketing & Growth close behind on 30. Consulting & Strategy (24), Design, UX & Branding (21) and Copywriting & Content (18) follow. Finance, Taxes & Compliance appears on 13 profiles: a workable shortlist if VAT and OSS settings are the hard part of your project.
Who appears after the French profiles. The listing puts experts based in France first; after them come experts located outside France who also take on European projects. Scroll there if neither French freelancer is free.
Of the 38 experts based in France, only 11 publish a starting price, so read these figures as a sample, not a rate card. Figures are USD, taken in October 2026, and leave out any profile showing zero. A starting price is where an expert's projects begin; what you pay depends on your scope.
Typical band
The middle half of the 11 French starting prices
Median
The midpoint starting price among French profiles
Top quarter of listed prices
The upper quarter of the 11 French prices
The middle half is narrow: three quarters of those 11 start at $450 or more, and half at $600 or more. Budget for a defined project rather than an hour's work.
French quotes move most with catalogue size, the number of languages and markets, custom design, and integrations with your accounting or warehouse tools. For a quote you can compare, send your product count, current platform, the countries you sell to, the languages you need and every system the store has to talk to.
Euro payouts through Shopify Payments. Shopify Payments covers stores based in France, paying out in euros, so card checkout doesn't need a third-party provider. Your expert should connect it before design sign-off, so test orders run through the real checkout.
Tax: decide before launch, not after. France follows Shopify's EU VAT set-up. Shopify Tax is on offer here, with Manual Tax as the fallback. The 13 May 2026 date matters too: only stores already collecting EU tax before then can use Basic Tax. If you plan to sell into other EU countries and declare through the Union One-Stop Shop, pick Shopify Tax from the start, since OSS doesn't work with Manual Tax in Shopify.
The declaration stays with you. Shopify does not handle EU VAT filing or payment. Agree with your accountant which reports they need from Shopify, and ask your expert to set the store up so those reports come out clean.
Boutiques and markets. Shopify sells POS hardware to French merchants through its own hardware store. For lighter set-ups, Shopify POS accepts Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android, provided Shopify Payments is switched on.
French throughout, plus funding. The admin and checkout both support French. Shopify Capital is available to eligible French businesses too.
Profiles can carry several categories. The useful reading is how far each one falls below the total of 38.
On all 38 French profiles
33 profiles; check who writes the code
30 profiles, a strength of the French pool
24 profiles; ask for a written plan
18 profiles; handy for French product copy
13 profiles; the shortlist for tax-heavy builds
Some will, some won't, and each sets its own starting price. Say up front that the job is small and ask for a fixed price. A good agency will either quote it or point you to someone better suited, such as one of the two freelancers based in France or an expert from outside France further down the listing.
Yes, if two things are covered. Someone fluent must write or review every customer-facing word, from product pages and emails to checkout messages and policies, because machine-translated French reads as exactly that. And the expert should have configured EU VAT settings for a French business before. Ask for a French store they've launched and read it as a customer would.
Three live stores close to yours in catalogue size, with the scope they delivered on each. A named lead for your project, not just a sales contact. A written handover plan covering who owns the code, the theme files and the app accounts when the project ends. If an agency can only show a parent group's portfolio rather than stores it built itself, keep looking.
Many French-based experts list marketing alongside development, and one team for build and campaigns means fewer handovers. Check that the marketing is done by people who run accounts every day rather than resold, and ask which channels they manage now and for which kinds of store. Keep the ad accounts in your own name either way.
Treat each as its own market with its own prices, shipping and tax settings. A French agency's language skills carry over; the payment and tax set-up for each country doesn't automatically. Ask whether they've launched in either before. For a bigger cross-border push, international expansion experts specialise in it, and the Belgium and Switzerland pages list experts based there.
