Shopify Development · Dominican Republic
Your online store on Shopify, ready to sell in the Dominican Republic.
I design and build Shopify stores for Dominican businesses — with a product catalog, shopping cart, local payment methods, and design that builds trust. You focus on selling; I make sure the technology works.
Why Shopify for your business in the DR?
Shopify is the world's most-used e-commerce platform for a reason: it works. It's fast, secure, easy to manage, and scales with your business. Many Dominican companies use it to sell locally and abroad from the same store.
Unlike WordPress with WooCommerce, Shopify doesn't require constant technical updates or security upkeep. You pay a monthly fee to Shopify, and the platform handles hosting, backups, and security updates automatically.

Basic Shopify store
A complete store built on a customized premium theme. Includes cart, checkout, payment gateway, and basic training so your team can manage inventory independently.

For businesses with large catalogs or special requirements: a fully custom theme, invoicing-system integrations, automation flows, multi-currency support, and a complete store SEO strategy.

Frequently asked questions
What's included in a Shopify store build in the DR?
Your Shopify store includes: a custom theme design, upload of up to 20 products, local payment setup (bank transfers, deposits, digital wallets), connected domain, basic SEO, and a 1-hour training session so you can run your store independently. All starting at USD$1,400.
Can I sell in Dominican pesos with Shopify?
Yes. Shopify lets you set up your store entirely in Dominican pesos (DOP). It can also integrate local payment methods such as bank transfers, deposits, and digital wallets. Your customers pay in RD$ with no friction.
How much does a Shopify store cost in the Dominican Republic?
Development starts at USD$1,400 for a basic store with up to 20 products. For larger catalogs, custom integrations, or a fully bespoke design, cost is quoted in a proposal. Request a no-commitment proposal.
Do I need to pay Shopify a monthly fee?
Yes. Shopify charges you directly between $29 and $299 USD/month depending on the plan. This cost is separate from development. I'll help you choose the right plan for your sales volume — the basic plan is enough for most businesses in the DR.
Will I be able to add products myself later?
Yes. One of Shopify's biggest advantages is its very intuitive admin panel. I include a 1-hour training session so you or your team can add products, update prices, manage orders, and check sales reports without needing a developer.
