DeshTech helps businesses in Sri Lanka and overseas plan and build Shopify stores around their products, customers and daily operations. Discuss storefront design, catalogue setup, payment and delivery requirements, migrations and ongoing support in one defined project scope.
Discuss Your Project01 / Service fit
Shopify can suit a business that wants a hosted store with an admin area for products and orders. The right fit depends on your merchant location, payment options, catalogue, required integrations and recurring budget. We review these requirements before recommending a build.
02 / Scope
Plan collections, product pages, navigation, variants and content around the way customers shop. We can configure and customise an agreed theme, prepare responsive layouts and establish how your team will maintain the catalogue.
Confirm payment-provider eligibility for the merchant’s business location, currencies and requirements before opening checkout. Define delivery areas, rates and customer communications. Shopify’s current supported-country guidance explains Shopify Payments eligibility; third-party options and their terms must be reviewed for the actual business.
Identify the data and workflows the store needs, then assess suitable apps or integrations. A migration scope should identify products, customers, orders, pages and redirects separately. App permissions, fees and ongoing ownership are reviewed before installation.
03 / Decisions
A Shopify project has implementation and ongoing platform costs. Compare the plan, theme, apps, transaction arrangements and integration needs with the way your business will operate. Explore ecommerce development and WordPress development when comparing approaches.
04 / Delivery
Review representative products and an agreed theme direction, then check collections, variants, navigation, customer/staff journeys and the scoped payment/delivery setup. If migrating, decide what moves and how each data group will be reconciled before connecting the live domain.
Identify the theme, templates, catalogue work, apps, external integrations, data migration and review rounds. Separate theme/app configuration from any custom Liquid or app work; agree feasibility, access, permissions, third-party charges and maintenance responsibilities before development.
Agree a handover covering product and collection editing, order administration, content changes and staff permissions. Confirm store ownership, subscriptions, paid-theme/app licences and escalation routes. Client operational policies and provider approval remain part of launch readiness. Domain and business email arrangements can be scoped alongside the store.
05 / Budget and responsibilities
Catalogue size, product options, theme changes, custom functions, migration quality and external systems affect the development estimate. Shopify subscriptions, paid themes, apps and payment-related charges are separate ongoing considerations. A scoped proposal keeps these costs visible.
For search visibility, prepare useful collection and product content, clear navigation, page titles and descriptions, appropriate image text, and redirects for changed URLs. These provide a foundation for search and AI discovery; ongoing visibility also depends on useful content and the wider market.
06 / Get ready
Bring sample products, target markets, delivery areas, preferred payment methods, existing store data and any inventory or accounting systems. Include your domain access, content responsibilities and desired launch timing. We can then discuss the practical sequence of work.
07 / Experience
A store migration is several data and operational tasks rather than one transfer. Use the checklist below to agree the objects, reconciliation and redirect tests. Shopify’s official migration guide provides platform-specific context; the appropriate transfer method depends on the source data and supported tools.
Explore our portfolio About DeshTechReconcile product/variant counts, images, prices and collection membership using an agreed sample and exception list.
Decide which records transfer, what the chosen method supports and who checks account, privacy and historical-order behaviour.
Map retained pages and changed URLs, then check equivalent destinations and redirects rather than sending all old links to the homepage.
Agree payment-provider eligibility, delivery rules, notifications, staff permissions and representative test orders before cutover.
Questions / Answers
Yes. We can discuss changes to the theme, navigation, product presentation and the buying journey. We first review the current store, apps, content and requirements so useful existing functions are accounted for.
No. Shopify Payments depends on the merchant’s supported business location, eligibility and verification requirements. Review the current country list and the available third-party providers while scoping checkout.
Migration can be included after reviewing the source data and destination requirements. Products, variants, images, customers, order history and redirects need separate decisions; the proposal identifies what will be transferred and how it will be checked.
Shopify provides tools for managing products and store content. We can include a handover covering the agreed everyday tasks, with further development or ongoing maintenance scoped separately.
