Shopify Development Across Australia
Shopify Developers for Australian Brands
We build and maintain Shopify stores for brands across Australia, with senior specialists available live during AEST/AEDT business hours. GST checkout, AU/NZ and APAC expansion, the payments the region uses, at a fraction of local agency rates.
Why Australian Brands Work With Us
Why Brands Across Australia Work With Us
A Shopify developer hired through a Sydney or Melbourne agency commands a premium salary and a long hiring process, and the established agencies bill accordingly. For brands between their first million and eight figures, that maths rarely works for ongoing development. It works for a launch, then becomes the reason the roadmap stalls.
The same work, a different cost base
Our developers are Shopify specialists with Australian and APAC client portfolios. What changes is the cost of running an agency where they sit, not the standard of the code they write.
Live in Australian business hours
Our specialists are available live on Slack and on calls during AEST/AEDT business hours. You are not posting tickets into a void overnight.
One team, every role
Developer, designer, migration specialist, SEO, store manager. Scale the mix each month as your roadmap changes instead of hiring for each gap.
Documentation as standard
Every customisation is documented and version-controlled. If you ever move on, the next developer inherits a store they can read.

KolachiTech is a Shopify development company serving brands across Australia from a strategically located team. We build, migrate and maintain Shopify and Shopify Plus stores for Australian brands in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and the Gold Coast, with senior specialists available live during AEST/AEDT business hours rather than disappearing overnight.
Whether you are hiring a Shopify developer in Sydney, a Shopify agency in Melbourne, or a Shopify development company in Brisbane, the work is the same: Liquid, Hydrogen, integrations, migration and optimisation. What changes is the cost base and the availability of senior talent, and that is where a specialist remote team wins for Australian brands.
Engagement Models
Three Ways to Work With Us
Dedicated Monthly
Your specialist, full-time, on your tools and in your standups. Best for continuous roadmaps and brands shipping every week.
From $2,400 / month
- 160 hours per month
- Direct Slack access and daily standups
- Mid-level, senior and lead tiers available
- Monthly rolling, 30 days notice
Part-Time Retainer
A fixed block of hours each month for maintenance, improvements and the small jobs that pile up. Best for stores that are stable but not static.
From $800 / month
- 40 or 80 hours per month
- Prioritised task queue
- Unused hours roll over one month
- Upgrade to dedicated at any time
Project-Based
Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed deadline. Best for migrations, rebuilds and anything with a clear finish line.
From $3,500
- Written scope agreed before work starts
- Milestone billing, not full payment upfront
- 30 days post-launch support included
- Blended rate $25 to $45 per hour
A dedicated seat costs roughly a fifth of the loaded cost of a comparable US hire, with no recruitment fee, no benefits and no notice period. Most brands start on a part-time retainer and move to dedicated once the roadmap outgrows the hours. We will tell you honestly if a project quote serves you better than a monthly commitment.
How It Works
From First Call to First Commit
Scope
A 30-minute call to understand your stack, your roadmap and the gap you are filling. We will tell you which role actually solves it, even when it is a smaller engagement than you asked about.
Match
We put forward specialists from our team with the relevant experience, including work samples from comparable builds. You interview them yourself.
Trial Week
Your chosen specialist works a real ticket from your backlog. If the fit is wrong, you owe nothing and we match again.
