Build a Shopify storefront that fits your brand and customer experience instead of forcing your business into the limitations of a default theme. Zrafted develops custom Shopify sections, templates, Liquid functionality and theme experiences for Canadian ecommerce brands.
Shopify themes provide a strong starting point, but ecommerce brands often reach a point where default theme settings no longer support the storefront experience they need.
That does not always mean building an entirely new Shopify theme. In many cases, the right approach is extending an existing theme through custom Liquid sections, templates, metafields and carefully implemented design changes.
For more complex stores, we can go further and develop a heavily customized or fully custom Shopify storefront based around the business's products, merchandising requirements and customer journey.
Our focus is maintainable Shopify theme development that gives your team useful control through the theme editor instead of hard-coding every future content update.

Rework older or heavily modified themes when incremental edits are no longer the most maintainable solution.
Develop a custom Shopify storefront when your design, UX or functionality requirements go significantly beyond existing themes.
Not every Shopify store needs a fully custom theme. We select the development approach based on the actual storefront requirements.
Best when an existing Shopify theme already handles the majority of the required layout and functionality.
Best when the theme is strong but needs custom sections, templates, metafields or visual adjustments.
Appropriate when years of customizations or legacy implementation make the existing storefront increasingly difficult to maintain.
Best for stores with highly specific UX, branding, merchandising or storefront requirements.
A good custom section should not require a developer every time you want to change a heading, image, product or promotional message.
Where practical, we build settings directly into Shopify's theme editor so important storefront content remains manageable after development is complete.
Help customers compare features, specifications or product options.
Organize specifications, shipping information, details and supporting product content.
Add product demonstrations, reels and branded video experiences.
Build merchandising layouts that go beyond a standard product grid.
Display shipping, guarantees, payment messaging and customer reassurance where it matters.
