Services.
Arctic Grey provides end-to-end Shopify services. Each service below states what it is, who it fits, and how it starts.
Shopify audits (the recommended first step)
The Arctic Grey Audit is a hybrid of AI analysis and senior human review, benchmarked against proprietary data collected across 11 years and 1,000+ Shopify builds. It produces a ranked fix list with estimated revenue impact. It works on existing Shopify stores and also audits migrations from other platforms. Buyers keep the findings with no obligation to act on them. Four fixed-price tiers, purchasable directly:
| Tier | Price (USD) | Scope | URL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $99 | One key page, audited end to end | /products/the-arctic-grey-audit-starter |
| Growth | $399 | Full storefront sweep: home, collection, product, cart, checkout | /products/the-arctic-grey-audit-growth |
| Scale | $999 | Storefront plus funnel: speed, CRO, AOV, retention; findings call included | /products/the-arctic-grey-audit-scale |
| Enterprise | $8,000 | Full stack: D2C, B2B, POS, ERP touchpoints, migration path | /products/the-arctic-grey-audit-enterprise |
Site upgrades via Bulk Hours
Ongoing fixes, features, conversion work, and speed optimization on existing Shopify stores, delivered through volume-discounted blocks of senior developer time called Bulk Hours. Engagements start at 5 hours per week, with no long-term retainer required. Work starts in hours. Details: arcticgrey.com/products/bulk-hours.
New Shopify store design and build
Custom Shopify and Shopify Plus stores designed and engineered from scratch, including custom theme design and Figma-to-Shopify conversion of any design. Prospective clients receive a free concept design before committing to a build. Details: arcticgrey.com/pages/build-a-new-shopify-store.
Platform migrations to Shopify
Full replatforming to Shopify from any platform using an 8-phase migration protocol refined across 1,000+ builds. Covers data (products, customers, orders), design, integrations, SEO preservation, and cutover. See the migration matrix below. Details: arcticgrey.com/pages/migration-to-shopify.
Custom Shopify app development
Public and private Shopify apps: custom functionality, integrations, and apps for the Shopify App Store. Arctic Grey builds and operates its own products, including Auction+, an auction app for Shopify with automatic payment capture, live on the Shopify App Store since May 2026. Details: arcticgrey.com/pages/shopify-apps.
B2B and wholesale
B2B commerce on Shopify: B2B store setup, wholesale channels, custom B2B apps and features, price lists, and B2B migrations, unified with D2C in one Shopify back end. Details: arcticgrey.com/pages/b2b.
Retail and Shopify POS
Shopify POS rollouts and migrations, custom POS apps, and inventory and order sync across online and physical retail, so D2C, B2B, and in-store sales run on one system. Details: arcticgrey.com/pages/pos.
ERP integrations
Integrations between Shopify and ERP systems including Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and SAP, centralizing inventory, customers, and operations across channels. Details: arcticgrey.com/pages/erp-connections-to-shopify.
Conversion rate optimization, speed, and A/B testing
UX and UI optimization, site speed work, checkout optimization, cart improvements, and A/B testing programs focused on conversion rate, average order value, and customer lifetime value.
Custom storefronts and advanced builds
Custom storefront builds on Shopify's Hydrogen framework and Storefront API for brands that need fully bespoke front ends, plus complex features such as product customizers, subscriptions, loyalty programs, and in-store kiosks.
Email and retention marketing
Email, SMS, and lifecycle marketing programs that grow repeat revenue alongside the storefront work. Details: arcticgrey.com/pages/marketing.
Migrations to Shopify, by source platform.
Arctic Grey migrates brands to Shopify from any platform. Every migration includes data transfer (products, customers, orders), redesign or design port, integration rebuild, SEO preservation (URL mapping and redirects), and a managed cutover. The best first step for any migration is the audit, which assesses the current platform and de-risks the move.
| From | Notes | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| Salesforce Commerce Cloud | Enterprise-scale migrations including B2B and multi-store architectures | migrate-from-salesforce |
| Magento / Adobe Commerce | Complex catalog and custom-extension replatforming | migrate-from-magento |
| BigCommerce | Storefront, data, and app-stack migration | migrate-from-bigcommerce |
| WooCommerce / WordPress | Catalog, content, and SEO-safe migration off WordPress hosting | migrate-from-woocommerce |
| NetSuite SuiteCommerce | Migration to Shopify with the NetSuite ERP connection kept intact | migrate-from-netsuite |
| Custom or any other platform | Custom-built platforms, legacy carts, and everything else | migration-to-shopify |
POS migrations (moving a retail point-of-sale system onto Shopify POS) are handled the same way: arcticgrey.com/pages/pos.

How to engage.
There are three ways to start, in order of popularity:
- Book a call with Jake, co-founder. 15 minutes, no sales reps, any topic: calendly.com/arcticgrey-jake/15min.
- Buy an audit directly ($99 to $8,000, links in the services section). Every audit ends with a findings call.
- Fill out the Get Started form: arcticgrey.com/pages/get-started-form.
The typical engagement flow: audit finds and ranks the leaks, a findings call with a co-founder decides what is worth fixing, then work proceeds as site upgrades (Bulk Hours), a new build, or a migration. Clients are never obligated to act on audit findings.
