WHAT TO GET RIGHT
Rules that shape New York stores in 2026.
What a store selling from New York has to handle — and what we set up by default.
Privacy and the SHIELD Act
New York has no comprehensive privacy law yet, but the SHIELD Act governs breaches and most NY brands sell into states that do. We set up consent and opt-outs that satisfy all of them.
Accessibility (ADA Title III)
New York sees more web-accessibility lawsuits than any other state. WCAG 2.1 AA is built in, not retrofitted.
Sales tax, handled by Shopify Tax
New York rates, clothing exemptions and economic nexus elsewhere, configured and checked with you.
HOW WE WORK
How we work with teams in New York.
01
Intro call with a senior
30 minutes on your store, your numbers and your deadline. An honest fit check on the call.

Free audit, then a fixed price
A Loom walkthrough of the three things we would fix first, followed by a scoped proposal with one price.
03
Build on a duplicate, reviewed in your day
Theme and app work ships to a preview theme. You review in your working hours; nothing goes live without your yes.

06
Why New York, specifically
New York is where the most mature Shopify brands we work with are based — fashion, beauty, home and food labels on Shopify Plus with wholesale, international markets and a real in-house team — and the work there is correspondingly specialised.
New York engagements are rarely a first build. They are a Shopify Plus migration from Magento or a custom platform, a headless storefront for a brand whose site is as much editorial as commerce, Shopify Markets setup for selling into the EU and Canada with the right currencies, duties and language, or a CRO and checkout program on a store that already converts well and needs the next half-point. Wholesale through Shopify B2B — showrooms, buyers, net terms — comes up constantly.
We are not a New York agency and do not price like one. Most of our New York clients came to us for that reason, and for the fact that a senior in Virginia on Eastern time with engineers in Lagos and Jaipur gives them nearly round-the-clock cover for the cost of one local developer. We come up for kickoff and for the launch; the rest is remote.
NEW YORK
4 questions
Why hire a Virginia agency for a New York brand?
Senior people, fixed prices and Eastern Time — without the overhead that comes with a Manhattan address.
Do you migrate from Magento or custom stacks to Shopify Plus?
Yes. We migrate Magento and custom-built stores to Shopify and Shopify Plus, moving products, customers and order history and redirecting every URL. See migrations.
Will you come to New York?
Yes, by arrangement. We can be on site in Manhattan or Brooklyn for kickoff, launch and workshops; day to day we work remotely in Eastern Time.
What does a New York store build cost?
Store builds start at $10,000 and migrations at $2,500, fixed price. Plus migrations are scoped after an audit. See pricing.
