Is Konekt an official Shopify Partner?

Yes. Konekt is listed on the official Shopify Partner Directory. This means we've been vetted and approved by Shopify directly, giving you confidence that our team meets the expertise and standards Shopify expects of its partners.

What is the difference between a Shopify Partner and a regular developer?

A Shopify Partner is officially certified and listed in Shopify's Partner Directory, with demonstrated platform expertise and access to Shopify's partner tools and support. A regular developer may know Shopify but has no formal certification. For businesses, a Certified Shopify Partner adds accountability and ensures genuine Shopify expertise.

Do you work with clients outside Sri Lanka?

Absolutely. While we're headquartered in Sri Lanka, the majority of our Shopify clients are international — including businesses in the US, UK, Australia, and the Middle East. We work across time zones with async and scheduled communication.

What types of Shopify projects do you handle?

We handle everything from new store launches and theme customisation to custom app development, Shopify Plus enterprise builds, platform migrations (WooCommerce, Magento, WordPress), and ongoing SEO and maintenance retainers.

What makes you different from freelance Shopify developers?

As a Certified Shopify Partner agency, we have a full team — developers, QA, designers, and project managers — so your project doesn't stop if one person is unavailable. You get a dedicated account manager, structured delivery, and Shopify's official partner certification.

How do you price Shopify projects?

Most projects are quoted at a fixed price after a discovery call. We provide detailed scopes so you know exactly what you're getting. Ongoing retainers (SEO, maintenance, support) are priced monthly.

Can you help me after my store launches?

Yes. We offer post-launch support plans covering bug fixes, performance monitoring, Shopify updates, and ongoing SEO. Many clients stay with us on retainer after launch.

Understanding the Shopify Ecosystem

What Is a Shopify Partner?

A Shopify Partner is an agency, developer, or consultant officially approved by Shopify to help merchants build, optimise, and grow their Shopify stores. Shopify Partners are part of Shopify's global Partner Program — a vetted ecosystem of specialists who work with the platform every day.

Unlike a regular web developer or freelancer, a Certified Shopify Partner has demonstrated platform expertise, earned Shopify's formal recognition, and is listed in the official Shopify Partner Directory — an additional layer of accountability for businesses choosing an agency.

Shopify Partners offer services including custom Shopify development, store design and UX, platform migrations, Shopify SEO, app integration, Shopify Plus enterprise builds, and ongoing store support.

Official Program Benefits

What Does the Shopify Partner Program Include?

The Shopify Partner Program gives certified partners access to resources, tools, and support that regular developers don't have — including early access to new Shopify features, dedicated partner support, development store environments, and Shopify certification pathways.

For merchants, this means a Shopify Partner has deeper platform knowledge and can often solve complex problems faster than a generalist developer. Shopify Partner levels include standard Shopify Partners and Shopify Plus Partners — the latter specialising in enterprise-scale stores with more complex integration and scaling requirements.

Shopify Partner vs Regular Developer

Shopify Partner vs Freelancer vs General Agency

When choosing who to build your Shopify store, you have three main options — and the difference matters more than most people realise.

Freelance Shopify Developer — lower cost, useful for small fixes, but limited skill coverage. No platform certification or directory listing.
General Web Agency — broader services, but Shopify expertise varies widely. May not hold Partner certification or have dedicated Shopify experience.
Certified Shopify Partner Agency — multi-disciplinary team (developers, designers, SEO specialists), officially vetted and listed by Shopify, with structured delivery and post-launch support.

For businesses serious about eCommerce growth, a Certified Shopify Partner provides the accountability, depth of expertise, and long-term support that freelancers and general agencies typically cannot match.

Freelance Developer

Good for small fixes. Limited skill coverage, no certification, no team backup.

General Web Agency

Broader services but inconsistent Shopify expertise. May not be Partner Directory listed.

Certified Shopify Partner

Vetted by Shopify, full-stack team, Partner Directory listed, structured delivery and post-launch support.
