Most Shopify projects start in one of two places.
Both are exactly what we do.
Whether you're starting from scratch or starting over, the goal is the same: a Shopify store that performs from day one and keeps improving.
Launching on Shopify
You've decided Shopify is the right platform. Now you need a team that can actually build it well. Whether it's a brand-new store, an expansion into new markets, or a direct-to-consumer channel sitting alongside wholesale, we've delivered it before across a wide range of sectors.
Migrating to Shopify
You're already selling online, but the platform you're on has become a problem rather than an asset. Maybe it's WooCommerce that needs constant maintenance. Maybe it's a Magento licence that costs more than it delivers. Maybe it's a custom build that nobody fully understands anymore. Moving to Shopify is the right call: we'll make sure it's done without losing data, rankings or revenue in the process.
Ecommerce results worth talking about.
These are some of the stores and platforms we've built. The numbers speak for themselves.

SHOPIFY MIGRATION AND REPLATFORMING
You've outgrown your platform.
Shopify is the answer.
Doing it badly isn't.
The licence costs, the plugin maintenance, the developer time just to keep things running: platforms that made sense five years ago often don't anymore. A well executed Shopify migration typically pays for itself quickly. A badly executed one can set you back months. We've been called in to fix migrations that went wrong elsewhere. We'd rather help you avoid that conversation entirely.
- Your Laravel app is slow and you don't know why
- You're stuck on an old version and can't upgrade
- The original developer has left and no one else understands the codebase
- You need new features but the system won't support them
- Your platform works, but it can't scale to where you want to go
- You've been quoted an eye-watering sum to rebuild from scratch

Why ecommerce brands choose R3
There are a lot of Shopify agencies. Here's what separates us.
1. Official Shopify Partner
Partnership with Shopify isn't automatic. It reflects a track record of quality builds and client outcomes. We've earned it, and it means you're working with an agency that Shopify itself recognises.
2. We've handled complex migrations before
Moving from WooCommerce, Magento or a custom platform is rarely straightforward. We've managed the lot: URL mapping, data migration, SEO continuity, third-party integrations. We know where things go wrong and how to prevent it
3. Ecommerce built with marketing in mind
A store built in isolation from your marketing strategy is already at a disadvantage. At R3, the team building your Shopify store works alongside specialists in SEO, paid media and CRO. The result is a platform that's designed to be found, to convert, and to grow.
4. UK-based from start to finish
Some agencies win work in the UK and build it elsewhere. We don't. Our developers, designers and strategists are based in Chester, Liverpool and Manchester. You'll speak directly to the people doing the work.
5. Shopify doesn't exist in isolation
Most growing ecommerce businesses have a broader stack: an ERP, a PIM, a 3PL, a CRM. We've integrated Shopify with all of them. If your project has moving parts beyond the storefront, that's not a problem for us.
6. We stay involved after launch
The build is the beginning. We work with clients on an ongoing basis to improve performance, test ideas, and make sure the store keeps pace with their ambitions. We measure what matters: revenue, conversion, growth.
What clients say
The website is sleek, modern, and customers can easily find what they’re looking for. We’ve seen a jump in efficiency, freeing up time to grow the Keycraft brand and better serve our customer base. The team at R3 were great to work with because of their personality, commitment and attention to detail.
