Shopify Developer to Build a Dropshipping Store (Shopify to Shopify)
Posted 2026-06-26Overview
We are an established multi-brand Irish retailer launching a new Shopify store selling children's electric ride-on toys. The store will be run out of Northern Ireland and trade in GBP. Products are dropshipped from a UK and Ireland based supplier who is already on Shopify, with a trade arrangement in place.
We need an experienced Shopify developer to build the store and set up the supplier connection so stock and orders sync automatically. This is a build only project with a defined end. We want it live quickly, built cleanly, and ready to take orders.
