Invoice clients for Shopify store builds, Liquid customisation, and app integrations. Professional invoices from Tidybill.
A Shopify developer invoice covers work building, customising, and optimising online stores on the Shopify platform. Shopify developers work with Liquid (Shopify's templating language), JavaScript, and Shopify's APIs to create custom storefronts, integrate third-party apps, build custom Shopify apps, and optimise conversion rates. Clients range from new e-commerce entrepreneurs needing a launch-ready store to established brands requiring complex custom functionality. Common billable work includes theme customisation, product and collection page design, checkout customisation, payment gateway integration, subscription setup, multi-currency configuration, and Shopify Plus enterprise work. App subscriptions and Shopify plan costs are not the developer's responsibility but clients sometimes need guidance on which plans and apps to purchase, and this advisory time is billable.

Use a 50% deposit and 50% on launch structure for store builds. For ongoing retainer work, invoice monthly. Reference the store name (domain) on every invoice. Pass through any third-party app costs on separate line items with the app name and the Shopify plan period covered. Keep discovery and strategy sessions as billable line items separate from development work.
