Shopify agency · Shopify Partner · Los Angeles
A drop that sells out is a good day. A drop that oversells, or quietly loses a showroom order, is a long week.
We work as a Shopify Partner from an office in Glendale, a short drive from Downtown LA. We build and replatform stores for Los Angeles apparel, beauty, food and merch brands, add wholesale and retail counters, and wire each order into Zoho for stock, books and buyer history. LA-area teams can meet us at our Glendale office or at theirs.

01The short answer
It turns your products into a store that holds up on launch day, then keeps the boring parts honest: stock, taxes, wholesale orders and customer records. For LA brands that means a theme your team edits alone, a plan for drops and pop-ups, California privacy and tax settings done right, and orders that reach your back office without retyping.
02What we build
Most projects combine two or three. A Silver Lake candle maker might need a new store and Zoho Books; a Vernon apparel label, a replatform, a wholesale catalog and a counter for sample sales.
Product pages, lookbooks and collections built from sections, so swapping a campaign banner never waits on a developer. Online store design.
Scheduled publishing, per-customer limits, a password or waiting page and stock held back for each size before the clock hits ten.
Catalog, customers and order history brought over from WooCommerce or Magento, with every old URL pointed at its new home.
Company accounts, buyer-specific price lists and net terms for the boutiques that order from your showroom. Shopify B2B setup.
Card readers, staff roles and a pop-up kit for Melrose weekends or a market stall, sharing one stock count with the website. Shopify POS.
Shopify Markets with local currencies, duties shown at checkout and Spanish or French storefront copy. Shopify Markets.
When editorial, video and shoppable stories outgrow a theme, a Hydrogen front end keeps the content team free. Headless Shopify.
Stock, invoices, payouts and buyer history kept in Zoho’s inventory, accounting and CRM apps: the part most agencies hand off.
03Who we build for in LA
Each of these businesses breaks a Shopify store in its own way. Pick a tag to see where it usually goes wrong and what we set up instead.
Where it breaks: one style in six sizes and four washes becomes 24 variants, and a cut-and-sew run never matches the forecast.
What we set up: swatches from metafields, size guides on the product page, low-stock alerts per size, and production runs received into Zoho Inventory so the site shows only what is on the shelf.
Where it breaks: refills, bundles and sample sizes multiply SKUs, batch codes matter when a customer reacts, and repeat buyers expect to reorder in two taps.
What we set up: bundles that draw stock from their parts, subscriptions through a Shopify-made app, ingredient and warning fields on every product, and batch numbers tracked in Zoho Inventory.
Where it breaks: shipping zones change by product, some items can’t cross state lines warm, and grocery buyers want case packs at a different price from the website.
What we set up: shipping profiles per product type, local delivery and pickup for the LA area, case-pack price lists for retailers, and expiry dates managed in Zoho Inventory.
Where it breaks: an album, a premiere or a tour date sends a wave of buyers at once. Bots grab stock and support drowns on Monday.
What we set up: a drop runbook with scheduled release, purchase limits, bot protection, test orders under load, and order-status answers ready in Zoho Desk before the post goes out.
Where it breaks: market-week orders arrive on paper, line sheets go out as PDFs, and the rep can’t see whether a boutique paid its last invoice.
What we set up: a B2B storefront with company accounts and net terms, line sheets built from the live catalog, and each account’s orders and balances visible to reps in Zoho CRM and Zoho Books.
04Try it · launch planner
Pick a project. The sheet fills in like a production tech pack: build steps in order, what to bring to the first call, and where Zoho fits. Nothing is sent; one button copies it to the form below for you to edit.
Sample plan for planning only. Your real scope, dates and price come after the discovery call, in a BRD you sign.
05The back office
Because the store is only the front counter. Once a brand sells online, at pop-ups and to boutiques, the stock-and-invoice spreadsheet gives up. Zoho takes that job, and because our Zoho Advanced Partner certification sits beside the Shopify one, one team owns both ends.
Zoho Inventory holds one stock pool for the website, the counter and wholesale, and receives each production run by size.
Zoho Books records sales, payouts, fees and refunds, with California sales tax kept separate for your CPA.
Zoho CRM shows reps what each boutique or repeat buyer ordered.
Field-by-field detail, returns included, lives in our Shopify to Zoho integration guide.
06Selling from California
Three come up on nearly every LA build: privacy consent, sales tax and, for some products, Proposition 65 warnings. We make the settings and records work. What your policies say, and which products need a warning, is for you and your lawyer to decide.
Shopify’s customer privacy settings run the cookie banner and the data sale or sharing opt-out, honor Global Privacy Control and add a “Your Privacy Choices” link. We switch them on for California, test with GPC on and off, and check that tracking apps respect the choice.
Rates in California change by city and district, so nobody should type them by hand. Shopify Tax works out the rate at checkout, and Zoho Books keeps the tax collected per order, ready for the filing your accountant does.
Once you decide a product needs a Proposition 65 warning, we store the text as a product field and show it on that product page, and only there.
07Replatforming paths
Less than you fear, more than an export button suggests. Drag each card to compare today with the same job on Shopify.
Most jobs become built-in features or Shopify Flow rules, with a short app list for the rest.
Dozens of WooCommerce plugins or Magento extensions, each with its own update cycle.
Hosting, security and checkout updates are Shopify’s job, not your developer’s weekend.
Server bills, PHP versions and Magento upgrade projects that keep getting pushed back.
Rankings carry over when each old address gets a redirect, tested before the domain moves.
Years of product, category and blog URLs that Google and your customers still use.
Customers and order history come across; buyers sign in with an emailed code instead of a password.
Saved passwords, which no platform can export, and accounts tied to the old checkout.
Moving from Wix or BigCommerce instead? The steps are similar; our Shopify migration overview maps each platform.
08Your Shopify licence
You do, directly. The store and its plan sit in your own Shopify account, billed to your card, so you keep control if you ever change agencies.
Apps from the Shopify App Store add their own monthly fees. Current US plan prices and card rates are on our Shopify pricing overview; we re-check them with your real order numbers first.
09Packages
Each package is a starting shape, not a menu price. Once the scope is settled, one fixed price and the dates go into a BRD, signed before any work begins.

Move
One BRD price for the whole move

10How a project starts
You pay nothing for the first call. A simple new store can often be scoped from it; a replatform with wholesale and Zoho might need paid scoping first, priced before it starts.
In the LA area? We can hold the store walkthrough at our Glendale office, your studio or your warehouse. Brands elsewhere do the same steps by video.

11LA Shopify questions
Short answers on meetings, drops, California rules, wholesale and Zoho. Anything else, ask us on the first call.
Yes. We are a Shopify Partner working from 237 N Central Ave, Ste A, Glendale, CA 91203, in the Los Angeles area. Our team builds and replatforms stores, sets up wholesale, POS and Markets, and connects stores to Zoho for LA brands and for clients in other US states, in Canada and across Latin America.
Yes, if you are in the LA area. We can meet at our Glendale office, or at your studio, showroom or warehouse when seeing the stock room helps. Brands farther away get the same steps by video.
Yes. We hold stock back per size, schedule the product to publish at the drop time, set purchase limits and bot protection, plan a password or waiting page, and run test orders the week before. After the drop we reconcile sold units in Zoho Inventory and help clear refunds and exchanges.
We set up and test the technical side: Shopify’s cookie banner and data sale or sharing opt-out for California, Global Privacy Control handling, the privacy choices link, and tracking apps that wait for consent. The wording of your privacy policy and any legal judgment stay with your lawyer.
Shopify Tax calculates the rate at checkout from the delivery address, which matters in California because rates differ by city and district. Zoho Books then keeps the tax collected on each order, so your accountant files from clean records.
Yes. Shopify B2B gives each boutique a company account with its own catalog, price list and payment terms, beside your retail store. Adding Zoho CRM lets reps follow every boutique’s orders, and Zoho Books tracks net-terms invoices and overdue balances.
It depends on the catalog, the design, the data that moves and the integrations. We agree the scope with you, then write one fixed price and the delivery dates into a signed BRD before work starts. Only the first discovery call is on us; larger builds sometimes begin with scoping, which is paid.
Yes. We are a certified Zoho Advanced Partner as well as a Shopify Partner, so the same team links your store to the Zoho apps that run stock, accounting and buyer records. For Zoho work beyond the store, see our Zoho partner page for Los Angeles.
