Shopify development, CRO and growth marketing for Vancouver brands in activewear, outdoor gear and wellness, selling across Canada and out to the world.

[ ECOMMERCE IN VANCOUVER ]
Vancouver has a habit of producing performance brands. Lululemon was founded here in 1998 and Arc'teryx designs its technical outerwear in North Vancouver. Their success set the bar for what an active lifestyle brand looks like online: technical product detail, strong photography, community and a customer who will pay for quality if the store explains why.
The city is also Canada's gateway to Asia-Pacific. The Port of Vancouver is the country's largest port by volume, which is why many brands that manufacture in Asia land inventory here and run fulfilment from the Lower Mainland. Shipping east across the Rockies to Ontario and Quebec costs more and takes longer than shipping within BC, so delivery promises need to vary by region.
Health and wellness is the other strong current: supplements, natural skincare, plant-based food and outdoor experiences sold to an audience that reads labels and ingredient lists. Vancouver brands working with us get Shopify and Shopify Plus builds, subscription setups, and paid media and Klaviyo retention aimed at customers who buy for performance and values, not just price. We work with them remotely, with updates ready by morning.

One team for the build, the conversion work and the marketing that brings shoppers back.

Country-wide rules on tax, payments and shipping are covered on our Canada page. These are the details specific to Vancouver.
[ WORKING TOGETHER ]
Our team works in Pakistan time (UTC+5), and we're honest about what that means for Canada. Our fixed meeting slots, 10:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 16:00 Pakistan time on weekdays, fall overnight in Canada. In Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa the afternoon slot lands at roughly 4 to 6 a.m. in winter (5 to 7 a.m. in summer). Further west the morning slot is the usable one, in the late evening the day before: about 9 to 11 p.m. in Vancouver and 10 p.m. to midnight in Calgary in winter, an hour later in summer. In practice most of the work runs asynchronously. We build while you sleep, and written updates, staging links and recorded walkthroughs are waiting at the start of your day; you reply during your working hours and we pick it up the next morning our time. Live calls are booked into those slots for kick-offs, reviews and launches.

[ FAQ ]
What Vancouver brands ask us before starting a Shopify project.
Our weekday slots run 10:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 16:00 Pakistan time. In Vancouver that is about 9 to 11 p.m. the previous evening in winter and 10 p.m. to midnight in summer, with the second slot in the middle of your night. Most Vancouver work therefore runs asynchronously, with written updates and recordings ready when you start your day.
Yes. Technical gear needs structured product data: specs as metafields, filterable collections by activity and conditions, comparison tables, size and fit guidance, and imagery that shows the product in use. We build these on Shopify or Shopify Plus with themes your team can update, and connect reviews and Q&A so customers can ask how gear performs in coastal rain or alpine cold.
BC PST applies to taxable goods delivered to customers in British Columbia, so orders shipped to other provinces normally carry their own GST, HST or QST instead. Shopify can apply provincial rules automatically once your registrations are entered. Confirm product-level exemptions, such as some children's clothing, with your accountant. We configure the tax settings and product overrides to match their advice.
Start with a subscription app that works natively with Shopify checkout, then make the offer clear on product pages: frequency options, savings and how to pause or cancel. We build Klaviyo flows for welcome, replenishment reminders and win-back, keeping marketing consent separate under CASL. Then we run A/B tests on subscribe-and-save messaging so the programme grows without unnecessary discounting.
