Shopify development and marketing in one team.
A beautiful store with no traffic doesn't sell, and ads pointed at a weak store waste money. We handle both sides: a Shopify store built to convert, and TikTok and Meta campaigns that bring the right buyers to it.
Ecommerce and Shopify brands
What gets in the way
Traffic that doesn't buy
Slow pages, thin product details and a clunky checkout leak sales before customers reach the cart.
Ads without tracking
Without pixels and conversion tracking set up properly, you can't tell which campaigns make money.
Fulfilment that breaks
Dropshipping apps, suppliers and marketplace settings need to work together, or orders get stuck.
What does a Shopify development and marketing agency do?
A Shopify development and marketing agency builds or rebuilds your store, then drives traffic to it. That covers theme and product page design, checkout and payments, fulfilment apps such as AutoDS, tracking pixels, ad creative, and running paid campaigns on TikTok, Meta and Google, with reporting on sales and return on ad spend.

Thania Alonso: I run a cleaning services business and didn’t have a website at all, so I was missing out on a lot of potential customers. After working with Devlonics, they built me a site that actually brings in leads. I started getting inquiries within days. It’s made a real difference to my business.

Shopify development and marketing: common questions
Can you run ads as well as build the Shopify store?
Yes. We build the store and run TikTok and Meta campaigns, so the people making the ads and the people fixing the store are the same team.
Do you work with dropshipping stores?
Yes. We set up AutoDS with Amazon and Alibaba suppliers and fix fulfilment issues between Shopify, TikTok Shop and your apps. See our Gladiolaz case study.
How much ad budget do I need to start?
Less than most people think. We've launched TikTok campaigns at $20 a day that brought in orders within the first two weeks. What matters is tracking every order so spend only grows when it pays.
How much does Shopify cost per month?
Shopify's own pricing page lists Basic at $29 a month billed yearly ($39 monthly), Grow at $79 and Advanced at $299, plus card fees from 2.9% + 30¢ on Basic. Apps and themes are extra.
Can you fix a Shopify store that gets traffic but no sales?
Usually. The common causes are slow pages, weak product pages, surprise costs at checkout and missing trust signals. We audit those first, then test fixes against your conversion rate.
