Service overview
Anas Tanveer builds custom Shopify stores for Australian businesses — custom Shopify 2.0 theme development, Australian GST (10%) configuration, Afterpay and Zip Pay BNPL integration, Australia Post shipping, and Google Australia SEO to rank on google.com.au.
Australian Shopify stores have unique compliance requirements that generic Shopify developers overlook: 10% GST must be collected and displayed correctly per ATO requirements; Afterpay adoption in Australia is among the world's highest and missing it costs sales; Australia Post API integration for real-time shipping rates is standard expectation. These are not optional extras for Australian ecommerce.
Australian Shopify builds include Privacy Act 1988 compliant data handling, hreflang en-AU, LocalBusiness schema with Australian GeoCoordinates, and Core Web Vitals optimisation for Google Australia rankings.

Why work with Anas Tanveer
Practical full-stack delivery with business context.
Australian Shopify projects start with a GST configuration audit and Afterpay readiness check. Australian compliance requirements are addressed before theme development begins, not retrofitted at the end.
All Shopify builds are tested with Australian customer checkout scenarios: GST display, Afterpay eligibility, Australia Post rate calculation, and Privacy Act consent flow.
Post-launch support includes Shopify app updates, GST rate change adjustments, and Australia Post API maintenance with AUD invoicing.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Shopify developer cost in Australia?
Australian Shopify developers charge AUD 70–130/hour for senior work. A Shopify theme customisation project costs AUD 1,500–5,000. A full custom Shopify 2.0 theme build costs AUD 4,000–15,000. A Shopify Plus project with complex checkout customisation starts from AUD 12,000. Fixed-price milestone quotes provide more predictable costs than open-ended hourly contracts.
Does my Australian Shopify store need Afterpay?
Yes, for most Australian retail categories. Australia has one of the world's highest Afterpay adoption rates. Australian consumers in fashion, homewares, electronics, and lifestyle categories regularly filter product pages by Afterpay eligibility. Missing Afterpay in these categories costs measurable sales. Zip Pay is the secondary BNPL option for orders over AUD 1,000.
How is Australian GST configured in Shopify?
Australian GST is configured in Shopify's Tax settings: 10% applied to all taxable products, tax-inclusive pricing for B2C display (prices shown with GST included), GST shown separately on checkout and invoices, and ABN displayed on tax invoices for B2B compliance. Shopify's automatic Australian tax calculation handles most scenarios, but product-level tax overrides (GST-free items: fresh food, medical, educational) must be set manually.
