Shopify Stores Engineered to Sell

A Shopify store is only as good as its conversion rate. WebLaunch.ca builds custom Shopify storefronts that load fast, rank in search, and turn visitors into customers. From first product to full migration, we set up Canadian taxes, local shipping rates, and bilingual French and English storefronts so you can sell anywhere in Canada from day one.

What We Build on Shopify

Everything your store needs to launch, convert, and grow

Custom Theme Development

Hand-built Shopify themes designed around your brand and your buyers. No bloated templates, just fast pages engineered to convert.

Store Migration

Moving from Wix, WooCommerce, or Squarespace? We migrate products, customers, orders, and SEO redirects so you keep your rankings and your history.

Conversion Optimization

Optimized product pages, streamlined checkout flows, trust signals, and analytics so every visit has the best chance of becoming a sale.

Canadian Tax & Shipping Setup

GST, HST, and PST configured correctly for every province, plus Canada Post and regional carrier rates set up so checkout never surprises a customer.

Bilingual Storefronts

French and English stores for Quebec and bilingual markets, with translated products, checkout, and notifications that meet Quebec language requirements.

App Integration & Shopify SEO

Reviews, email marketing, loyalty, and inventory apps wired in cleanly, plus technical SEO so your products show up in Google and AI search.

Why Build Your Store with WebLaunch.ca

Built for Conversion, Not Just Looks

A pretty store that does not sell is a liability. We design product pages, navigation, and checkout around how Canadian shoppers actually buy, then measure and improve with real data.

Keep Your SEO Through Migration

Most store migrations bleed traffic because redirects and metadata get lost. We map every URL, preserve your rankings, and usually leave you better indexed than before.

Canadian Commerce Done Right

Provincial taxes, Canada Post rates, CAD pricing, and bilingual storefronts are not afterthoughts. They are configured correctly from launch so you avoid costly fixes later.

A Store You Can Run Yourself

We hand off a store your team can manage. Add products, change prices, and run promotions without calling a developer every time.

Shopify Development FAQs

How much does a Shopify store cost in Canada?

Professional Shopify development in Canada costs $3,500 to $12,000 CAD with WebLaunch.ca, depending on whether you need a store launch, a custom theme, or a full migration. Shopify's own subscription is separate and runs $51 to $475 CAD per month depending on the plan. Most small businesses do well on the $51/month Basic plan.

Should I choose Shopify or custom e-commerce?

For most Canadian businesses selling physical products, Shopify is the right choice. It handles hosting, security, payments, and updates for a predictable monthly fee, and a custom theme gives you a unique storefront on top. Custom e-commerce only makes sense when you have complex logic Shopify cannot handle, like custom quoting engines or unusual fulfillment workflows.

Can you migrate my existing store from Wix, WooCommerce, or Squarespace?

Yes. We migrate products, collections, customers, and order history to Shopify, and we map 301 redirects for every old URL so your Google rankings carry over. Most migrations complete in 6 to 8 weeks with zero downtime on your existing store.

Do you do Shopify SEO?

Yes, SEO is built into every package. That includes optimized product titles and descriptions, structured data so products show in Google Shopping results, clean URL structure, fast page speeds, and an XML sitemap. For ongoing rankings work, our SEO service plugs directly into your store.

Can my store be bilingual French and English?

Yes. We build bilingual Shopify storefronts with translated products, collections, checkout, and email notifications, which is essential for selling in Quebec under Law 25 and Bill 96 language requirements. Bilingual setup is included in our Migration + Custom Build package and available as an add-on for other packages.
