Shopify developer · Ireland
Shopify developer and Shopify expert for Irish online stores
Irish businesses sell online more than almost anyone in Europe. I build and fix Shopify stores for them: new stores, moves off WooCommerce, faster pages and custom features. I work remotely from Pune, India, with daily overlap with Irish business hours.
32%
of Irish SMEs sell online, against an EU average of 17%
27%
of Irish SME turnover comes from online sales, more than double the EU average
45%
of Irish online stores still run on WooCommerce

Problems I fix for stores in Ireland
Slow on mobile
Too many apps and an unoptimised theme push mobile load times past four seconds, and Irish shoppers on 4G leave before the page appears.
VAT shown wrongly
Prices displayed without VAT, or the wrong rate applied to reduced-rate products, which confuses customers and your accountant.
Northern Ireland and UK orders
Shipping and customs set up as if Northern Ireland were the Republic, so orders stall or customers get surprise charges.
Stuck on WooCommerce
Plugin updates breaking the checkout, hosting bills creeping up, and a store nobody wants to touch. Moving to Shopify fixes the platform; doing it carefully keeps your rankings.
Checkout drop-off
Missing Apple Pay and Google Pay, forced account creation, or surprise shipping costs at the last step.
Cookie banners that break things
A GDPR banner that blocks the page, slows it down, or fires tracking before consent.
Set up properly for Ireland
VAT done right
Prices set up VAT-inclusive at 23%, with reduced rates where your products qualify, and EU One-Stop-Shop rules once cross-border sales pass €10,000 a year.
Irish shipping
Shipping zones and rates for An Post and DPD Ireland, separate rates for Northern Ireland and the UK, and EU delivery if you sell abroad.
Payments Irish shoppers use
Shopify Payments with cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, plus PayPal and Klarna, paid out in euro.
GDPR from day one
Cookie consent, marketing opt-ins carried over correctly during a migration, and customer data handled the way the Data Protection Commission expects.
How it works
India is 4½ to 5½ hours ahead of Ireland, so your morning is my afternoon. Calls can be booked 09:00 to 13:00 Irish time, and progress updates land in your inbox before you start work.
Step 1
Free call
You show me the store and what you want. We agree the scope, timeline and price on the call.
Step 2
Build on a staging store
You click through real progress on a private copy of the store, with an update every day.
Step 3
Launch and handover
I launch, test orders end to end, and hand over everything you need to run the store yourself.
Why work with me
An engineer, not a theme installer
I write the code behind the store: Shopify themes and custom sections, app and API integrations, and headless Next.js storefronts when a theme is not enough.
E-commerce from the inside
I work as a software engineer at a direct-to-consumer brand, so conversion, checkout and speed are problems I deal with every day, not just on client projects.
Speed I can prove
I cut this site’s own mobile load time from 11.6 seconds to 1.3 seconds. Your store gets the same measured, before-and-after approach.
National-level builder
Smart India Hackathon national finalist and HackIndia top 4 of 200+ teams, shipping production apps under real deadlines.
What clients say
★★★★★
“We needed more than a website for Dentpreneur — we needed a platform that could support memberships, courses, payments, webinars and our growing community. Satyam built and integrated these different pieces into one system and continued improving it as our requirements evolved. Working with him felt like having someone who genuinely took ownership of the product rather than simply completing assigned development tasks.”
★★★★★
“Satyam helped us build and improve our e-commerce experience with a strong focus on both the customer experience and the technical side of the platform. He was able to understand our business requirements, turn them into practical features, and move quickly when priorities changed. The biggest difference was having someone who could think beyond the UI and take ownership of the product end-to-end.”

Questions
Do you work with Irish businesses remotely?
Yes. Everything runs over video calls, shared boards and a staging store you can click through. You see progress daily and approve before anything goes live.
Will moving from WooCommerce hurt my Google rankings?
Not if the redirects are done properly. Every old product, category and blog URL is mapped to its new Shopify URL with a 301 redirect before launch.
How much does it cost?
Every store is different, so I agree the price with you after a short call about what you need. Send your store link and what you want done, and we take it from there.
Do you handle VAT setup?
I configure VAT in Shopify the way your accountant specifies. I am a developer, not a tax adviser, so rates and OSS registration are confirmed with them.
