Shopify developer, Chicago.
Shopify Plus and B2B-heavy development for Chicago industrial, manufacturing-DTC, and Midwest consumer brands. NET-30, dealer portals, ERP and EDI integration. Remote-first, Central Time.
Chicago's B2B backbone, on Shopify Plus.
Chicago Shopify work is B2B-heavy: industrial and manufacturing brands moving wholesale and dealer ordering onto Shopify Plus B2B, with company accounts, NET-30 terms, tiered catalog pricing, dealer portals, and deep ERP and EDI integration. The Midwest also has a strong consumer DTC bench — food, spirits, and heritage brands — but the load-bearing Chicago engagement is the B2B replatform. Digital Heroes builds both, remote-first on Central Time, flying in for kickoff and launch by arrangement. For the broader Chicago context, see our main Chicago agency page.
- Chicago Shopify is B2B-heavy: industrial and manufacturing brands on Shopify Plus B2B with company accounts and NET-30.
- Dealer portals, tiered catalog pricing, and ERP/EDI integration (NetSuite, SAP, mid-market Sage) are the standard scope.
- Strong Midwest consumer DTC bench too — food, spirits, heritage brands — built on the same Plus foundation.
- Four shapes: Plus B2B build (14-20wk), ERP/EDI integration, Midwest DTC build (12-16wk), post-launch retainer.
- Remote-first, no Chicago office; Central Time coverage; we fly in for kickoff and launch by arrangement.
Central Time. An 8-hour overlap with our New York book.
Chicago runs one hour behind our New York book. We don’t maintain a Chicago office — our staffed HQs are New York and Delhi — but our coverage tracks the Chicago working day Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM CT, with same-day Slack response and weekly demos. The clock below shows the daily collaboration band between your hours and ours.
Four shapes, Chicago-scoped.
Shopify Plus B2B build. 14-20 weeks for Chicago industrial and manufacturing brands moving wholesale online — company accounts, NET-30 terms, tiered catalog pricing, quote flows, and dealer portals. Pairs with our Shopify Plus agency for Chicago brands.
ERP / EDI integration. The integration layer Chicago B2B actually needs: NetSuite, SAP, or mid-market Sage sync for inventory, orders, and pricing, plus EDI flows for partners that still trade documents. This is where Chicago builds live or die.
Midwest DTC build. 12-16 weeks for Chicago food, spirits, and consumer brands — subscription-capable, gift-heavy Q4, and the same Plus foundation with Klaviyo and Recharge. See our food & beverage build for Chicago brands.
Replatform + retainer. Replatform to Shopify Plus from Magento, BigCommerce, or a legacy B2B cart with 301-redirect preservation, then an ongoing retainer with quarterly in-person sessions in Chicago. See our Shopify migration for Chicago brands. Reach the team at +1 (646) 847 1584.
"Chicago's hard Shopify work is B2B: NET-30, dealer portals, and ERP integration that actually reconciles. We ship that, remote-first from NY and Delhi, on Central Time, on a plane for kickoff and launch."
Five answers on Chicago Shopify development.
Do you build Shopify Plus B2B with dealer portals for Chicago brands?
Yes — it is the most common Chicago engagement. Shopify Plus B2B with company accounts, NET-30 terms, tiered catalog pricing, quote flows, and dealer portals where wholesale buyers self-serve. The Chicago B2B industrial archetype on this page expanded its dealer portal +280% on this foundation. We scope the B2B logic and approval workflows first, because they shape the build more than the storefront design.
Can you integrate Shopify with our Chicago ERP and EDI?
Yes — this is where Chicago B2B builds live or die. We integrate NetSuite, SAP, or mid-market Sage for inventory, order, and pricing sync, plus EDI flows for trading partners that still exchange documents. We map the data model and reconciliation rules in discovery, because a B2B store that disagrees with the ERP on price or stock is worse than no store.
Do you work in person with Chicago clients?
We are remote-first with no Chicago office — staffed HQs in New York and Delhi. We run Central Time for Chicago clients with same-day response, and fly in for kickoff and launch by arrangement, with travel built into scope. The honest version: a remote Shopify B2B partner that knows Chicago industrial and Midwest DTC work, not a local Loop shop.
Do you build Midwest consumer DTC, not just B2B?
Yes. Chicago and the Midwest have a strong consumer bench — food, spirits, and heritage brands — and we build them on the same Plus foundation: Klaviyo flows, Recharge subscription where it fits, gift-heavy Q4 merchandising. Many Chicago brands are hybrid (wholesale plus DTC), and a single Plus store serving both channels cleanly is a common ask.
How much does Shopify B2B development cost in Chicago?
Scope drives cost. A Plus B2B build with dealer portals runs 14-20 weeks; ERP/EDI integration depends on the systems involved; a Midwest DTC build runs 12-16 weeks. We scope it in a written Discovery Document and return a fixed-price quote within 48 hours — a NetSuite-integrated B2B portal is a very different number than a single-channel DTC launch.
