I'm a Shopify developer with years of hands-on experience building and scaling e-commerce stores — from custom theme development to conversion rate optimization and third-party integrations. I've worked with brands like Après Nail and through platforms like Storetasker, delivering solutions that look great and perform even better. I specialize in Liquid programming, frontend development, and UI/UX enhancement. Whether you need a full theme build, a tricky app integration, or a speed and SEO overhaul, I bring a detail-oriented approach that gets results — not just code. I leverage AI tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot throughout my workflow — drafting Liquid logic faster, QA-testing edge cases, and generating content-ready section structures. This means faster turnaround, fewer revisions, and more value for your budget. My background spans custom store builds, GA4 + GTM tracking setups, Klaviyo integrations, loyalty app configurations, A/B testing, and cross-functional collaboration with design and marketing teams. I treat every project like it's my own store on the line. I'm a Computer Software Engineering graduate and Growth Collective certified in Creative Website Design (Shopify). Let's build something that converts.

Most Shopify stores appear great, but they often fail under the hood. I’ve spent 10 years ensuring that doesn't happen. From custom theme architecture to sophisticated API integrations (CRMs, fulfillment, and custom apps), I provide full-stack solutions that streamline your operations and maximize ROI. What I bring to your project: Precision Frontend: Custom-coded interfaces using React/Vue and Next.js for a lightning-fast, 'app-like' feel. Full-Stack Logic: Deep expertise in Liquid and Shopify APIs to automate your backend and sync your tech stack. Strategic Optimization: A relentless focus on SEO, site speed, and UX that drives actual sales. Whether you need a headless setup or a high-converting custom theme, I offer the agility of a boutique agency with the technical depth of an enterprise team.

Zipchat AI jobs worth paying a specialist for

Installing Zipchat and pointing it at your catalog is quick. Results differ on the jobs below.

Fixing the sources. Zipchat answers from your catalog, policies and orders by retrieval and doesn't fine-tune a model. Thin product copy and stale policy pages turn into wrong answers, so the first job is often rewriting content, not adjusting the bot.

Drawing the automation line. Skills connect tools by API, webhook or MCP, and you decide which actions run on their own and which wait for a person. Refunds, returns and discounts need that line agreed in writing. AI agent specialists do this on any platform.

Escalation rules. When the agent has no answer it routes the chat to your team, and the handoff ticket carries the transcript, sources and a confidence score. Topics that must always reach a person get their own rules.

Product questions and search. AI-generated questions sit on each product page and the search ranks results by intent. Test both on your most confusing products before launch.

Helpdesk wiring. Zipchat works inside several major helpdesks. Getting tickets to land in yours with the right context is app integration work.

Running it solo. Around 50 conversations a month on one channel with FAQ answers only: the free plan, your own pages and a weekly read of the transcripts will do.

Choosing a Zipchat expert: what to ask on the first call

An AI agent is only as good as its sources and its limits. Use the call to find out whether the candidate thinks that way.

What would you fix in our content first? Because Zipchat retrieves from your catalog and policies, a strong candidate audits product data and policy pages before touching settings.

Which actions would you automate at launch? Expect a written split between automatic and approval-only, with refunds and discounts usually waiting for a person at first.

How will you test it? A good answer: last month's real questions run through the agent, with every wrong answer traced to the page it came from.

What will our volume cost? They should map your volume to AI replies and training pages, and tell you to get usage charges confirmed, since the listing gives no overage rates.

Where pitches fall apart. Promising results before seeing your product data. No escalation rules. No plan for the helpdesk the agent hands off to.

A pilot with a finish line. One channel, last month's 30 most common questions answered and checked, two skills connected with approval switched on, and one handoff tested end to end.

Zipchat plans, limits and setup details

Plans are metered in AI replies. As of October 2026, Free gives 120 AI replies a month (about 50 conversations) and 100 training pages. Starter ($80) gives 750 replies and 1,000 pages. Pro ($300) gives 3,000 replies and 75,000 pages. Scale ($600) gives 6,000 replies and 300,000 pages. Annual billing saves 20%.

Training pages can be the real limit. A large catalog with long policy pages may outgrow a tier before conversations do.

Overage isn't priced. The listing mentions usage-based charges without rates. Get them in writing before launch.

Trials and support. Paid plans have a 7-day trial, and Pro and Scale add priority support.

Retrieval only. Zipchat says it doesn't train or fine-tune any model on your data. Answers come from your knowledge base.

MCP both ways. Skills can call tools over MCP, and Zipchat MCP lets an agent you run work with your conversations. Zipchat says the latter is on every plan.

WhatsApp route. The listing names the WhatsApp Business API among what the app works with.

Zipchat AI FAQs for Shopify merchants

How much does Zipchat cost?

As of October 2026, the free plan includes 120 AI replies a month. Starter is $80, Pro $300 and Scale $600 a month, with 20% off on annual billing and a 7-day trial on paid plans. The listing mentions usage-based charges but no overage rates. An expert's setup fee comes on top.

Does Zipchat AI train on my store data?

Not in the model sense. Zipchat says it reads your catalog, policies and orders and answers by retrieval, without training or fine-tuning a model. Answer quality follows your source pages, and each plan caps how many training pages it reads, from 100 on Free to 300,000 on Scale.

Can Zipchat hand conversations to my team?

Yes. When it can't answer, it says so and routes the chat to a person, and the handoff ticket includes the transcript, sources and a confidence score. You can also set rules that send chosen topics straight to staff. Zipchat works inside several major helpdesks.

Do I need a developer for Zipchat?

Not for install, channels or FAQ answers. A developer helps with skills that call your own tools by API, webhook or MCP, with product questions or search placed on a customized theme, and with testing order actions such as discounts before customers see them.

What should I send a Zipchat expert first?

Monthly conversations by channel, your 20 most common customer questions, links to policy pages, the actions you would let the agent take, and the helpdesk and email platform you use. That is enough to pick a plan and scope a pilot.
