Shopify development
Shopify and Shopify Plus stores, built and integrated by a Belfast software company - for businesses across Belfast, Northern Ireland, and the UK.
Shopify stores built by software engineers, not just designers
.
Shopify is a brilliant place to sell. But most Belfast businesses do not just need a good-looking theme - they need that store wired into the rest of the business. Orders that land in Sage, stock that stays accurate, trade customers who see the right pricing. Get that wrong and the store looks fine while your team does the work twice.
Two Clouds is a Belfast software company that builds on Shopify and Shopify Plus. Because we are engineers first, we design and build the storefront and then connect it properly to your accounts, stock, payments, and back office - so the store sells well and runs itself.

Shopify disconnected from Sage or your ERP?
If orders are re-keyed into your accounts and stock is updated by hand, we connect Shopify to the systems you already run.
Selling to trade as well as retail?
Shopify themes rarely handle account pricing, credit terms, and trade-only ordering well. We build B2C and B2B into one Shopify store.
Outgrowing a template or a freelancer?
When an off-the-shelf theme or app can no longer do what you need, we add custom Shopify functionality or move you onto Shopify Plus.
Six ways we build and grow Shopify stores.
Custom Shopify Themes
On-brand, fast, conversion-focused Shopify themes - custom-built or tailored from a base theme, and easy for your team to run day to day.
Shopify Plus
Shopify Plus builds for higher-volume and B2B merchants - checkout extensibility, Shopify Functions, scripts, and multi-store setups.
Shopify Apps & Custom Functionality
App selection and configuration, plus custom private apps and Shopify Functions when the off-the-shelf options cannot do what you need.
Shopify Integration
Connecting Shopify to Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, ERP, and shipping so orders, stock, pricing, and customers stay in sync without re-keying.
B2B & Trade on Shopify
Account-based pricing, credit terms, bulk and repeat ordering, and trade-only catalogues using Shopify B2B or custom logic.
Migration & Replatforming
Moving to Shopify from WooCommerce, Magento, or a dated platform - preserving your SEO, URLs, and order history through the move.
Why build your Shopify store with a software company?
Plenty of agencies can give you a nice Shopify theme. But a store is software - it has to handle pricing rules, stock, tax, payments, and a stack of integrations, and keep doing it reliably as you grow. That is engineering, not decoration.
We have spent over 15 years building business systems and integrations, and we bring that to Shopify: stores that connect cleanly to Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, ERP and shipping; that handle B2B and B2C in one place; and that you own outright. We are Belfast-based, so you get face-to-face when it matters and honest advice - including when Shopify is not the right answer.

Shopify vs WooCommerce - which is right for you?
| Shopify | WooCommerce | |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting & updates | Fully hosted and managed for you | Self-hosted - you manage hosting, updates, and security |
| Time to launch | Fast - less to set up out of the box | More initial setup, but more control |
| Running costs | Monthly plan plus transaction fees, unless you use Shopify Payments | Free core plugin - you pay for hosting, themes, and extensions |
| Customisation | Themes, apps, and Liquid - flexible, with some platform limits | Open source - unlimited customisation through code |
| Content & SEO | Strong, with a built-in blog | Built on WordPress - excellent for content-led SEO |
| Scaling | Scales to Shopify Plus for high volume and B2B | Scales with your hosting and engineering |
| Best suited to | Teams wanting a low-maintenance store, live quickly | Sites needing deep customisation and full ownership of the stack |
Not sure which fits? We give honest, commission-free advice - and build on both. Talk to us.

How much does a Shopify website cost in Belfast?
It depends on the design and how much custom functionality and integration you need. A focused Shopify build costs less than a Shopify Plus or B2B store with deep Sage or ERP integration. We give a clear, fixed-price quote after an initial discovery conversation - no surprises.

Yes. We migrate stores to Shopify from WooCommerce, Magento, and other platforms, carefully preserving your SEO, URLs, and order history through the move.
Do you build B2B or trade ordering on Shopify?
Yes. We build trade ordering with account-based pricing, credit terms, bulk and repeat ordering, and trade-only catalogues using Shopify B2B or custom logic - and we can run B2B and B2C from one store.
