I build high-performing Shopify stores designed for speed, scalability, and long-term savings so your only monthly cost is your Shopify subscription. If your current theme is patched or bloated, a clean rebuild is the smarter move. All builds are theme-editable, free from third-party scripts, and made to be maintained forever. I work exclusively with the Horizon theme, the latest stack by Shopify, and also work with fresh paid themes without any dev history to create fast, SEO-ready, and easy-to-manage stores that convert. What I specialize in: - Shopify 2.0 and custom theme rebuilds - Web redesigns and new designs using Figma - Figma to Shopify development - Performance and SEO optimization - CRO-focused custom features/sections - Shopify API and app development (Shopify Plus) - Long-term store care and maintenance Most clients stay for years because I build clean, smart, and scalable stores that deliver real results. Let’s make your Shopify store work harder for you.

I’ve been a Shopify developer for over seven years, working with clients worldwide on everything from bespoke themes to platform migrations and custom app development. I regularly collaborate with Shopify Plus clients, delivering tailored solutions that meet diverse needs and budgets. I run my own independent studio in the UK, specialising in Shopify theme and custom app development. I thrive on projects that demand creativity and bespoke solutions, pushing boundaries to deliver the best results for my clients.
ShopiCraft | A Boutique Agency, Founded by a Former Shopify Employee I'm Daniel, and together with my co-founder Daulet, we run ShopiCraft — a boutique Shopify agency focused on solving the technical problems other developers won't touch. I spent years inside Shopify before going independent. Daulet brings 10 years of full-stack development experience from one of Europe's leading energy firms. Together, we help merchants turn their Shopify stores from basic storefronts into reliable revenue machines. We specialize in the technical work that sits between "good enough" and "actually scalable" — the custom apps, integrations, and automations that make your store work the way your business actually needs it to. What We Do: Custom App Development: Bespoke Shopify apps (public and private) built to solve specific workflow problems your business has outgrown. API Integrations: Complex third-party connections, ERP syncs, warehouse management systems, and custom data flows that need to just work. Store Builds & Redesigns: Full theme development, migrations, and rebuilds for brands ready to level up their storefront. Technical Consulting & Audits: Store performance reviews, app stack optimization, and strategic guidance on scaling your technical infrastructure. Automation & Workflows: Shopify Flow implementations, inventory systems, order routing, and multi-location logic that eliminate manual work. Training & Mentorship: Hands-on guidance for in-house teams learning to manage Shopify more effectively. How we work: Daulet handles all custom and public app development — the deep technical builds that require serious engineering. I handle client strategy, audits, consultations, store builds, and anything client-facing. This division means you get both: a developer who can actually build what you need, and a consultant who understands your business well enough to recommend the right solution. We work with brands that are either: Scaling quickly and need technical infrastructure that won't break under pressure Stuck with a Shopify setup that's actively holding back growth Tired of developers who disappear after delivery or agencies that can't execute custom work Our approach is different: We don't "sell" packages or push unnecessary apps. We diagnose what's actually broken, scope solutions honestly, and build things that last. No fluff, no vendor lock-in, no recurring retainers unless the work genuinely requires it. ShopiCraft is a boutique agency — which means you're working directly with the people who'll build your solution, not account managers reading from scripts. We focus on finding the most efficient, creative solutions to your specific pain points. If your developer ghosted you, your agency said "that's not possible," or you're pretty sure your store could do more but don't know where to start — that's exactly what we're here for. We're based in Dublin and Kazakhstan, working with Shopify and Shopify Plus merchants globally. Let's fix what's broken and build what's missing. 🔧

Turbo and Flex jobs worth paying a specialist for
Turbo has been on sale for years, and plenty of stores still run builds from before Online Store 2.0. Most paid work starts with that gap.
Leaving a vintage Turbo build. Turbo added Online Store 2.0 support in version 7.0.0 in September 2021, and Out of the Sandbox calls earlier versions vintage, with limited compatibility. The current release is 11.0.0, a long way from a pre-2021 store.
Updating heavily edited files. Out of the Sandbox says updates through Shopify aren't supported and that file adjustments often complicate updates. For extensive edits, its guidance is to bring in outside help.
Replacing tag filters. Turbo 10.0.0 removed tag collection filtering. A store that leaned on tag filters needs its collection navigation rebuilt as part of the move.
High-variant products. Version 11.0.0 added high-variant support on the product page, quick shop, mini cart and grid. Stores with large option sets should test those templates with real data after updating.
Custom features and app widgets. Custom feature development, design work and third-party app troubleshooting all sit outside Out of the Sandbox support. Wholesale tables, bundle blocks and review widgets on a Turbo product page are developer jobs.
Speed regressions. Out of the Sandbox doesn't troubleshoot page speed. Speed optimization experts separate theme weight from app scripts.
Settings help from the source. Feature and settings questions on an unmodified theme go to Out of the Sandbox support. Don't buy developer hours for those.
Hiring an Out of the Sandbox theme developer: what to ask
On a long-lived Turbo or Flex store, the first question isn't design. It's how far behind the code is.
"Which version are we on, and what changed since?" A good candidate reads the changelog before quoting and spots the breaking points, such as Online Store 2.0 arriving in 7.0.0 and tag filtering leaving in 10.0.0.
"Update or rebuild?" Ask for both, priced. Light edits on a recent version suit an update. Years of changes to core files on a vintage build can make a rebuild on the current version the cheaper path.
"What will Theme Updater carry, and what will you port by hand?" Out of the Sandbox's own app keeps code edits and app integrations on its Pro plan. A specialist should name the edits it can move and the ones they'll rework.
Signals to move on. A plan to update through Shopify's theme library, edits made on the live theme, or a promised speed score.
A paid audit first. A short review listing every modified file and installed app, ending in an update-or-rebuild recommendation. Our guide to contracts and scope covers how to put that in writing, and custom theme developers take on full rebuilds.
Turbo theme Shopify versions, licenses and support scope
Two places to buy. Turbo and Flex sell on outofthesandbox.com. Parallax ($260), Retina and Responsive ($220 each) sell on the Shopify Theme Store, with presets such as Taproom, Sprint and Patina. Superstore and Vino complete the range.
Registration comes first. Registering a theme, through Theme Updater or a quick form with your order number and Shopify domain, gives access to the latest release and activates support. It can be refused if the license was used on a store that has closed; a transfer then goes through Shopify Support.
No updates through Shopify. Out of the Sandbox lists three routes instead: a manual update, Theme Updater, or a third-party service.
Updater minimums. Theme Updater works with Turbo 7.0.0 and later, Flex 3.0.0, Retina 6.0.0, Responsive 8.0.0, Parallax 5.0.0 and Superstore 4.0.0. Anything older is updated manually or by a developer.
Updater plans. As of October 2026 the free plan gives updated theme files and version alerts, while Updater Pro, which keeps code edits and app integrations, costs $9 a month or $96 a year after a 7-day trial.
Support pace. Email only, aiming for 24 hours but allowing 1 to 3 business days. Paid priority support is an add-on and does not widen what is covered.

Out of the Sandbox Shopify theme FAQ: Turbo, Flex and updates
As of October 2026, Turbo costs $425 per style on outofthesandbox.com and Flex costs $495. The Out of the Sandbox themes on the Shopify Theme Store cost $220 to $260. Developer time is separate: all 15 badge holders list a starting price, from $70 to $2,500. Our theme customization cost guide covers what shapes a quote.
Only from version 7.0.0, released in September 2021, which added Online Store 2.0 support. Out of the Sandbox calls earlier versions vintage, with limited compatibility, and Theme Updater also starts at Turbo 7.0.0. A store on an older build is looking at a migration, not a routine update.
Often, yes. Out of the Sandbox recommends its app for themes bought on the Theme Store or its own site, and for files that were adjusted only a few times. Updater Pro keeps code edits and app integrations. For extensively edited themes, the same guidance recommends outside help.
Yes, three as of October 2026: Parallax at $260, and Retina and Responsive at $220, each with three extra presets. Turbo, Flex, Superstore and Vino are sold through outofthesandbox.com instead, so check where your copy came from before planning an update.
No. Its support policy rules out custom feature development and design services, and custom code changes aren't supported. The policy advises hiring an experienced Shopify developer for custom work, and its team may ask you to revert customizations before troubleshooting a bug.
