Shopify developer · Malta
Shopify developer and Shopify expert for shops in Malta
Selling online in Malta means a small home market, island logistics and customers across the EU. I build Shopify stores that handle all three, and I fix slow or outdated ones. I work remotely from Pune, India, with daily overlap with Maltese business hours.

Problems I fix for stores in Malta
Gozo and island delivery
One flat shipping rate for Malta and Gozo, or no locker option, when customers expect Easipik pickup.
Selling only to Malta
A store that shows euro prices to everyone but cannot handle VAT, currencies or delivery for EU and UK customers.
Slow on mobile
Heavy themes and app bloat that make product pages crawl on mobile data.
Stuck on WooCommerce
Plugins breaking with every update and a store that is hard to change without a developer.
Set up properly for Malta
VAT for Malta and the EU
Prices VAT-inclusive at the 18% standard rate, reduced rates where they apply, and EU One-Stop-Shop setup once cross-border sales pass €10,000 a year.
Malta and Gozo delivery
Shipping rates for MaltaPost, including delivery to Gozo and pickup from Easipik parcel lockers, plus EU shipping for orders from abroad.
Selling beyond the islands
Multi-currency and multi-language storefronts with Shopify Markets, so EU and UK customers see local prices and delivery times.
Payments
Shopify Payments with cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, plus PayPal, paid out in euro.
How it works
India is 3½ to 4½ hours ahead of Malta, so we share most of your working day. Calls can be booked 09:00 to 14:00 Malta time.
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.

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
Can you set up delivery to Gozo?
Yes. Gozo gets its own shipping zone and rate, and Easipik locker pickup can be offered at checkout.
Can my store sell to customers in Italy, Germany or the UK?
Yes. Shopify Markets handles local currencies, languages and duties, and I configure shipping and VAT for each market you sell to.
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.
