A good Shopify agency in Sydney does more than install a theme. It should understand your products, your fulfilment set-up and the way Australian shoppers buy, then build a store that is quick to run and easy to manage. Depending on your size, that might mean a fixed-price build, a Shopify Plus replatform, or a monthly retainer for ongoing improvements.
For this list, we checked each agency against its own website. We kept firms that show a Sydney base and describe Shopify work as a core service, and we left out directories and marketplaces. Only facts the agencies publish themselves appear below, and a few sites give a phone number or suburb rather than a street address. If you also need a wider build, see our Top Web Design Agencies In Sydney For 2026 and Top Software Development Companies In Sydney For 2026, or browse the Sydney services hub.

Process Creative works from Suite 1, 53 Great Buckingham Street, Redfern. Its site says it has been a Shopify partner for 13 years and in ecommerce for 19, and it organises its services as design, build and growth, including migrations to Shopify, store redesigns and ongoing site management.
Named brands include Ninja Kitchen, Shark Clean, Mocka, Cygnett, Tropeaka, Bondi Sands Beauty and Citizen Wolf. The site lists awards including a 2025 AWA Shopify Award win for Curtain and Blind Co and 2023 wins for Snuggle Hunny and Rollie.
It suits consumer brands that care about how the store looks and converts, and want a long-standing Shopify partner for the build and the months afterwards.
Convert Digital is based at The Commons, 285A Crown Street, Surry Hills. The site describes the company as a Shopify Platinum Partner and says it has worked with Australian brands for ten years and counting.
Services include web development and design, migrations, systems integration, headless development, conversion rate optimisation, digital strategy and ongoing support. Case studies and testimonials feature Ghanda, Aje Collective, Boody, Koko Black, Henne and Makeup Cartel, and the logo strip includes Coles, Cadbury and Chemist Warehouse.
It suits established retailers and fast-growing brands that need engineering depth, integrations and a continuing optimisation programme rather than a one-off build.
Acidgreen lists its Sydney office at Level 5, 100 Market Street. Its FAQ says it is a certified partner with Shopify Plus, and the site claims 26 years of experience.
Services cover ecommerce interface design, business performance work (acquisition and conversion), product and digital asset information management, UX and UI, consulting workshops, data and AI, and platform builds with ERP and CRM integrations. Birkenstock and Legend appear among named clients.
Acidgreen suits larger or more complex merchants whose store needs to connect with back-office systems, product data and multiple channels. Smaller shops may find the scope more than they need.
Createur lists its office at Suite 103, 320 Liverpool Street, Darlinghurst. The site says it specialises in complex enterprise solutions on Shopify Plus, and covers design, systems (web, CMS, app development) and strategy including UX, conversion optimisation and SEO.
It names a long client list, including Nude by Nature, amaysim, Harris Farm, Tigerlily Swimwear, Colgate-Palmolive and Christopher Esber. Shopify’s partner directory lists it as a Plus-tier service partner since 2012, according to its profile there.
Createur is a good match for mid-market and enterprise retailers planning a replatform or a multi-channel Plus build, and wanting an experienced Sydney team.
HHP Design lists its office at Level 35, 100 Barangaroo Avenue. It describes itself as a certified Shopify and Google Partner and claims more than 600 stores built over 15 years, which is its own figure.
The services page is clear and productised: Shopify Build, Build Lite (backend set-up only), Migration, Audit, Maintenance, and SEO for Shopify stores. Named work includes 12WBT, Cuckoo Australia and a NSW Government farms programme, and the site reports a 5.0 Google rating from over 100 reviews.
It suits businesses that want a defined scope and package-style pricing for a build, migration or audit.
DAC Design is based at Level 1, Paramount House, 80 Commonwealth Street, Surry Hills. Its site lists Shopify development, ecommerce solutions, custom web design, Shopify POS and package-based site builds, and it shows a Shopify Partner badge. It also names Klaviyo as a partner.
The portfolio includes NUNE, PAL Lighting, CamelBak Australia, Horgans and Harley-Davidson Newcastle. The site does not state a partner tier or founding year.
DAC Design suits small and mid-sized retailers that want online and in-store selling connected through Shopify POS, with design handled by the same team.
Word of Mouth Collective is listed in Shopify’s partner directory as a Plus partner based in Darlinghurst. Its own site offers platform-agnostic development, “from Shopify stores to custom web applications”, alongside digital marketing, and does not publish a street address.
Case studies include Domaine Homes, Soul Origin and Ultraceuticals. The agency’s headline claim about ranking is its own wording rather than an independent award.
It suits merchants who want a store build and paid media, SEO and conversion work in one relationship, rather than separate suppliers.
Akuna Technologies says it operates in Sydney with an offshore centre in Bangalore, India, and does not publish a street address. Its Shopify services include migration, store set-up, theme customisation, app development, maintenance and 24×7 support. It displays a Shopify Experts badge but does not state a partner tier.
Client names on its site include Embroidery Design Services, Corporate Apparel Online, Budget Work Wear and Stubbies Workwear. It also offers digital marketing and accounting software support.
Akuna suits smaller merchants that want cost-conscious migration and ongoing support. Ask how work is split between Sydney and Bangalore.
Shopify partner programmes include Plus, Platinum and Premier tiers for agencies with strong track records, but a badge is not a guarantee of fit. Check the agency’s listing in the Shopify partner directory, read reviews, and ask for stores of a similar size to yours. If you are on or near Shopify Plus, ask about Plus builds specifically.
Standard Shopify suits most small and mid-sized stores. Plus adds checkout customisation, multiple stores and automation tools, and costs more. A good agency will tell you honestly whether your volumes and requirements justify it, and will price both options before you commit.
Agencies price by fixed scope, hourly rate or monthly retainer. Fixed prices suit clear briefs and migrations, while retainers suit ongoing optimisation. Ask what is included, such as data migration, redirects, training and testing, and how change requests are handled. Prices in Australian dollars should state whether GST is included.
Check experience with local payment methods such as Afterpay and Zip, carriers such as Australia Post, and GST-inclusive pricing. If you sell overseas, ask about duties, multi-currency checkout and international shipping rules. An agency that has built stores for Australian merchants will already know these details.
Your Shopify account, domain, theme code and apps should be registered in your name, with the agency added as a staff or collaborator account. Ask who holds the licences for paid apps, and request handover documentation when the project ends. This protects you if you later change agencies.
Sydney’s Shopify market spans design-led studios such as Process Creative, partner-tier specialists such as Convert Digital, Acidgreen and Createur, and package-focused teams such as HHP Design and DAC Design. Word of Mouth Collective and Akuna Technologies suit merchants who want marketing or cost-conscious support alongside the build.
Match the agency to your stage: a clear fixed scope for a first store, a Plus-experienced team for a replatform, and a retainer if growth is the goal.
