Shopify development, conversion work and growth marketing for American DTC brands, built around state sales tax, US payment habits and the rules that actually get enforced.

[ ECOMMERCE IN UNITED STATES ]
Selling online in the United States means selling into fifty states with their own sales tax rules, a growing patchwork of state privacy laws, and shoppers who expect fast checkout, flexible payments and clear delivery dates. A Shopify store that works for a US brand has to handle all of that without making the buying experience feel heavier.
We are a remote Shopify agency working with DTC brands across the US. Our Shopify developers build and migrate stores on Shopify and Shopify Plus, our CRO team runs audits and A/B tests on product pages and checkout, and our marketers manage Meta, Google and TikTok campaigns alongside Klaviyo email and SMS. Several of our case studies are US brands: a pet-tech company selling QR smart tags, a luxury skincare and beauty-tech brand, a sensory toy business with its own fulfillment, and a dairy-free chocolate milk mix.
What US brands usually need from a Shopify partner is less about a pretty theme and more about the plumbing: tax settings that match where you have nexus, Shop Pay and BNPL set up properly, shipping rules that match what your carriers can actually deliver, consent capture that stands up for SMS, and a storefront that meets accessibility expectations. That is the work we focus on.

[ WORKING TOGETHER ]
Our team works from Pakistan (PKT, UTC+5, no daylight saving), which means our working day runs while the US is asleep. In practice that is useful: you brief us at the end of your day, and progress, previews and written updates are waiting when you start the next morning, on every US time zone. Live calls are the trade-off. Our meeting slots are 10:00–12:00 and 14:00–16:00 PKT, Monday to Friday. The afternoon slot falls at 4:00–6:00 a.m. Eastern in winter (5:00–7:00 a.m. in summer), so it suits early risers on the East Coast; for Central, Mountain and Pacific teams it lands even earlier, so most of our US work runs on async video walkthroughs, shared boards and daily written updates, with calls booked when a decision needs a conversation.

[ FAQ ]
What United States brands ask us before starting a Shopify project.
No. You collect where you have nexus: a physical presence such as an office, staff or inventory in a warehouse, or economic nexus once your sales into a state pass its threshold, which is commonly $100,000 a year. Shopify's tax liability report shows where you are approaching a threshold. We configure Shopify Tax for the states you register in, but the registration and filing decisions should be confirmed with your accountant.
Start with Shopify Payments for cards, then turn on Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay, since accelerated checkouts remove most of the typing on mobile. If your average order value is meaningful, add Shop Pay Installments and consider Klarna or Afterpay. PayPal is still worth offering for many audiences. We test which options and messaging placements lift conversion rather than adding every button to checkout.
No. The FTC's Negative Option ('click-to-cancel') rule was vacated by the Eighth Circuit in July 2025, days before most of it was due to take effect, and the FTC has started a new rulemaking. Subscription brands still have obligations under the federal ROSCA law and state auto-renewal laws, including California's, which now requires online cancellation for online sign-ups. We build subscription flows with clear terms and simple cancellation.
Under the TCPA, marketing texts sent with automated systems need the subscriber's prior express written consent, with clear disclosure of what they are signing up for. Opt-out requests must be honored through any reasonable method, not only a STOP reply. Some states, such as Florida, add their own rules. We set up Klaviyo forms with compliant consent language and keep a record of when and how each subscriber opted in.
Mostly asynchronously. Our working hours overlap the US night, so your requests are worked on while you sleep and updates are ready each morning. Meeting slots are 10:00–12:00 and 14:00–16:00 Pakistan time, which is early morning on the East Coast and earlier further west, so we book calls for decisions and use recorded walkthroughs and shared boards for everything else. You get a named project lead throughout.
