WHAT TO GET RIGHT
Rules that shape Raleigh–Durham stores in 2026.
What a store selling from North Carolina has to handle — and what we set up by default.
Privacy
North Carolina has no comprehensive privacy law yet; selling into states that do triggers theirs. We set up consent and opt-outs that satisfy all of them.
Supplement and wellness claims
FDA and FTC rules shape product copy and reviews. We build templates that keep claims where they are allowed.
Sales tax, handled by Shopify Tax
North Carolina rates and economic nexus elsewhere, configured and checked with you.
HOW WE WORK
How we work with teams in Raleigh–Durham.
01
Intro call with a senior
30 minutes on your store, your numbers and your deadline. An honest fit check on the call.
02
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.
04
Launch and handover
Redirects, analytics and backups checked, then a handover your team can run — plus a retainer if you want us to stay.
WHAT WE BUILD
What we design and build for Raleigh–Durham teams.
MORE OF OUR WORK
From local businesses to national DTC brands.
06
Why Raleigh–Durham, specifically
The Triangle has more software people per square mile than anywhere else we work, which shows in the briefs: Raleigh and Durham brands ask about headless storefronts, Hydrogen and Next.js, integrations and analytics before they ask about themes.
That makes it the region where our Jaipur engineering studio does the most work — Shopify Functions, custom checkout extensions, HubSpot and Salesforce integrations for brands with a B2B arm, and PostHog or GA4 setups that engineers at the client actually trust. Research Triangle Park also produces a specific kind of client: a science or health product with regulatory constraints on how it can be sold, where compliance and content matter as much as conversion.
We do kickoff and launch in person in Raleigh, Durham or Chapel Hill — four hours from the studio — and run the rest remotely. For the many Triangle founders who are themselves technical, we are happy to work inside your GitHub and your deploy pipeline rather than ours.

4 questions
Do you work with supplement brands?
Yes — subscriptions, compliant copy, reviews and bundles are standard.
Can you build headless for a technical founder?
Yes. We build headless storefronts on Hydrogen or Next.js in a repository you own, with documentation your own engineers can pick up. See headless Shopify.
Will you come to Raleigh or Durham?
Yes, by arrangement. Projects can include on-site days in the Triangle for kickoff and launch; we're three hours away and in your time zone.
What does a Triangle store build cost?
Store builds start at $10,000 and migrations at $2,500, fixed price. See pricing or the website cost calculator.
