Carryup
Shopify Development Agency for D2C Brands

We build the Shopify
things others say
can’t be built.

Most teams start by listing why something can’t be done. We start with how to make it possible — architecting high-performance Shopify Plus storefronts, custom apps, and AI automation for D2C brands that have outgrown templates and generalist agencies.

D2C brands across fashion, home, wellness & more — every one on Shopify

How we're different

A specialist partner, not a vendor.

Shopify-only

We build exclusively on Shopify and Shopify Plus — no other platforms, no split focus.

Engineering-led

Senior engineers on every engagement — no account-manager layer between you and the build.

Partner, not project

We own your platform architecture, performance, and roadmap over years — not one-off deliverables.

Our engineering philosophy

A Shopify store is production software, not a brochure. We treat it that way — versioned, tested, and monitored — so the hard problems others avoid become the ones we're known for solving.

The Carryup approach
Engineering-led · Shopify-only
Architect
We start with architecture and data, not templates — scoping for scale, not just launch
Build
Custom apps, headless storefronts, and integrations engineered to your stack
Operate
Performance monitoring, automation, and a roadmap owned by the same team over years
Where the stack actually breaks

Four layers. One usually quietly failing.

Every Shopify build has the same four layers. When they're built by four different vendors, nobody owns the seams — and that's exactly where things break.

1Architecture

✕Apps and quick fixes stack up until nobody knows how the data actually flows.

✓We map the architecture first, so every feature and integration is built on a model that scales.

2Storefront

✕Theme, apps, and checkout were each built by a different vendor at a different time.

✓One engineering team owns the whole storefront, so a checkout change and a theme fix never fight each other.

3Integrations

✕Shopify, ERP, PIM, and CRM each hold a different version of the truth.

✓We build retry-safe, webhook-driven sync so inventory, orders, and customers stay consistent across systems.

4Performance

✕Pages and checkout slow down as apps pile up, and Core Web Vitals quietly fail.

✓We engineer to a performance budget — image pipeline, app audit, LCP under 2.5s — and monitor it after launch.

Not sure which of these four layers is actually costing you — or whether it's more than one?

The real difference

Not a better vendor.
A different model.

The old way
  • ✕A design shop, a freelance developer, and a separate app vendor — none of whom own the architecture
  • ✕Every vendor blames a different one when something breaks
  • ✕Custom work gets subcontracted to whoever's cheapest that quarter
  • ✕Handoffs mean a two-week delay to ship anything cross-functional
The Carryup way
  • ✓One engineering team across platform, custom apps, AI, and CRO
  • ✓One point of accountability — nowhere to hide when something breaks
  • ✓One codebase and one architecture, owned end to end
  • ✓Changes ship in the same sprint, not across four separate contracts

Discovery and scoping takes 1–2 weeks. A full Shopify Plus build runs 6–10 weeks. CRO retainers are rolling, with A/B test results typically landing within 2–4 weeks of going live.

Both. We work with new D2C brands that need to launch on Shopify correctly from day one, and with established brands doing ₹10Cr–₹500Cr GMV who want to grow faster from their existing base.

We start with a full store audit — analytics, session recordings, funnel analysis. Then we prioritise a test backlog by revenue impact, run tests fortnightly, and send you a results brief every two weeks.

Yes. Most clients begin with a project, then move to a monthly retainer covering CRO, Shopify development, and analytics. Retainers start at ₹1.5L/month.

A freelancer gives you execution without strategy. A standard agency gives you strategy without deep Shopify engineering. Carryup is a specialist team that only does Shopify — so you get both, fully integrated.
