What Does a Shopify Developer Do?
A Shopify developer builds e-commerce storefronts — customising themes with Liquid, building custom apps and integrations, optimising checkout and page speed, and connecting stores to payment, shipping and inventory systems.
E-commerce is a large, steady remote market, and Shopify work is especially freelance-friendly: clients everywhere need stores built and improved.
