Service overview
TorontoBytes provides Shopify development services for Canadian ecommerce businesses — building Shopify stores, customising themes, integrating apps, improving conversion rates, and developing custom Liquid features for product pages, collections, and checkout flows for businesses across Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and the rest of Canada.
Canadian Shopify store owners need a developer who understands Canadian ecommerce requirements: CAD pricing, Canadian tax configuration (GST/HST/PST per province), Canadian courier integrations (Canada Post, Purolator, UPS Canada), Canadian payment methods, and conversion optimisation for Canadian shopping behaviour.
Every Shopify project covers the full store lifecycle — initial build, theme customisation, speed optimisation, conversion improvement, app integration, and ongoing maintenance — with the goal of a faster, clearer store that converts Canadian visitors into buyers.
Problems this service solves
- Your Canadian Shopify store has high bounce rates or poor add-to-cart conversion.
- Product pages are unclear or variant selection causes confusion and abandoned carts.
- The store loads slowly on mobile, hurting both Canadian conversion rates and Google rankings.
- Custom features are beyond standard app capabilities and need custom Liquid development.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Shopify store cost in Canada?
A basic Shopify store using an existing theme costs CAD $1,200–$3,000. A custom theme build or heavily modified store costs CAD $3,500–$8,000. Custom Liquid features, Shopify Plus work, or complex integrations start from CAD $4,500. All pricing is based on scope and agreed upfront.
Do you handle Canadian tax configuration in Shopify?
Yes. Canadian Shopify tax setup includes provincial tax rates: Ontario HST, BC GST+PST, Quebec QST+GST, Alberta GST-only, and all other provincial and territorial configurations. Proper Canadian tax setup is critical for legal compliance and customer trust.
Can you migrate from WooCommerce to Shopify for a Canadian store?
Yes. Canadian WooCommerce to Shopify migrations cover product data, customer records, order history, SEO URL preservation with 301 redirects, Canadian payment and shipping reconfiguration, and provincial tax setup — with minimal downtime.
Which Canadian payment gateways do you integrate with Shopify?
Canadian Shopify stores can use Stripe Canada, PayPal Canada, Shop Pay, Sezzle (buy now pay later), and Interac Online where available. Payment gateway selection is based on Canadian customer expectations and fee structures for your product category.
Can you build a bilingual French/English Shopify store for Quebec?
Yes. Bilingual Shopify stores for Quebec and Canadian federal compliance include Shopify Markets configuration, French/English language switching, separate SEO metadata, and translated product and page content — meeting Quebec's language law (Loi 101) requirements for digital commerce.
