Our pick of the best Shopify agencies in Canada for 2026 starts in Québec: Novatize, the bilingual Quebec City team that ties Shopify Plus to ERP systems, then Diff, the Montreal Platinum partner that moved DAVIDsTEA to Shopify Plus, then Ecomm Guys for B2B and wholesale. Two things set Canada apart. Québec firms such as Makro and Novatize work in French as well as English, and the big names keep changing hands: Diff is now part of VML, Pointer joined eHouse and Domaine bought Code and Pattern.
Where an agency has a Shopify partner profile, we read it; we also read its case studies and opened the client stores in its portfolio, from Giant Tiger and Timex down to Jenna Rae Cakes in Winnipeg. Domaine, Pointer Creative and FireNet Designs have no Shopify directory data on this page, so we judged those three on their case studies and live stores.

Novatize is the team a Québec company calls when its website has to talk to the warehouse. It ties Shopify Plus to ERP and order systems for distributors, manufacturers and retailers, and its project list is mostly Québec names, from Club Piscine to Fromagerie Bergeron and Exceldor. For brands that want a custom front end it also builds on Hydrogen.

Diff is the enterprise pick: a Montreal team, now part of VML, a WPP company, that moves large retailers onto Shopify Plus. Its client list runs from Giant Tiger and RUDSAK to Kith, Boll & Branch, Tommy John and Hill's Pet Nutrition, so a brand with a big catalogue and a busy store will find peers here.

Ecomm Guys suits a mid-size or B2B seller that wants one partner for the move and for what comes after it: new builds, migrations and wholesale selling, then SEO, visibility in AI search and on-call development. Its portfolio mixes consumer and industrial sellers, from Showroom Coffee to Post-Tension Products.

Bevy is the one-team option in Toronto: design, theme and headless builds, data moves and POS, then paid media, email and SEO once the store is live. The Craft Cellars job shows the detail it handles: the store left WooCommerce, stock now syncs with Liquor Connect, and shoppers pick up from any of three locations.
Weigh first Line up two client references on the first call, along with a quote: Bevy prints no prices, and no merchant has reviewed it on its Shopify profile yet.

B2B is Makro's core. It connects Shopify Plus to the systems wholesalers already run, NetSuite, SAP, Dynamics and Sage, and it scopes the project before anyone writes code. From Montréal and Miami it serves industrial makers like Fumex as well as consumer brands like The Patch Brand and Matt & Nat, and it published new guides in June, August and September 2026.

Domaine has the largest published team on this page, more than 300 people across nine offices, two of them in Toronto and Montréal. It takes brands off Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Magento, BigCommerce and commercetools, and its newer work covers how products show up in AI shopping assistants. Its own site posted new work in September and October 2026.

FireNet is the small-store answer.

Pointer Creative makes brand-first stores for drinks, wellness and personal-care brands, and sets up Shopify POS for the ones that also sell in person. The Ottawa team moves stores in from WordPress, Squarespace, WooCommerce and Magento, and it is Oddit's exclusive partner for conversion audits.
A Canadian store has a few settings an agency should get right before launch, and most of them come down to tax:
Payments.Shopify Payments works in Canada, so you take cards and accelerated checkouts without signing up with a separate provider. Shop Pay Installments is open to eligible Canadian online stores that sell in CAD, for orders from 35 to 30,000 CAD.
Sales tax. GST is 5% in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Quebec, Saskatchewan and the territories; HST is 13% in Ontario, 14% in Nova Scotia and 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island (CRA). Quebec adds QST at 9.975% (Revenu Québec). You register for GST/HST once taxable sales pass $30,000 over four consecutive quarters (CRA). Shopify can calculate Canadian sales tax for you; filing and paying it stays with you.
Shipping.Shopify Shipping includes Canada Post, so you print labels for Canadian orders right in your Shopify admin.
Selling to the US. Shopify Markets sets prices per country and currency. Set your sales per market too, so a $10 CAD offer doesn’t turn into an odd US amount: see different discounts for different countries.
Bilingual stores for Québec
A store that sells to Québec in French and English needs both versions of every page, product, email and offer, built and tested before launch. Two agencies on this list put French next to English on their Shopify profiles: Makro Agency, which works from Montréal, and Novatize, from Quebec City and Montréal. Diff and Domaine also have Montréal offices.
Before you sign, ask to see a bilingual store the agency has launched, and agree who writes and checks the French copy: your team, the agency or a translator. Do the same for launch offers, so each sale reads right in both languages.
Also checked. The 81 in our count is every Canadian agency we collected from Shopify’s Partner Directory, app partner lists and other rankings. We checked 50 of them against our rule; 15 passed, and the 9 above are the ones we rank. Sunbowl, which calls itself Canadian founded and operated and works mostly on Shopify, came closest; we found no office city on its site. Stream Commerce, a Premier partner with offices in Toronto, Montréal and London, and Combustible in Montréal showed nothing on their sites newer than 2024, so they fall outside the 2025 or 2026 rule for now. EVDEV’s sites did not open when we checked, so we have not rated it.
How we picked and checked
Our team started from 81 agencies that build on Shopify with an office in Canada, found through the Shopify Partner Directory, apps' partner lists and the agencies' own sites. An agency made the list only if Shopify is its core work and it shipped client work in 2025 or 2026.
For every agency on the list we checked:
its Shopify partner profile: tier, reviews and partner date;
its own site, wherever it let us in, and its listings on app partner directories;
up to three client stores it shows as its work. "Live on Shopify" means the store loads and its pages run on Shopify's storefront. "Fast on mobile" means it passes Core Web Vitals on phones in Google's real-user data (Chrome UX Report); no stamp means too little Google data or not passing yet.
The order follows one rule: agencies with a Shopify review from the last 12 months come first, because they are clearly still shipping work; then Shopify partner tier (Platinum, then Premier, Plus and Select); then how many reviews each has; then the share of its showcased stores live on Shopify. "Best for" says where each one is strongest, so a lower-ranked agency can still be the right pick for your project.
Shashwat is a developer and the founder of DiscountOS. He has built Shopify stores and Shopify apps and has worked alongside Shopify agencies on client builds, and he writes our guides to how Shopify discounts work and our research on Shopify agencies. The research behind this page was done by hand by the DiscountOS team, and Shashwat checked and signed the ranking. "Weigh first" is the point we would raise with each agency before signing, from the same research. Every fact carries the date we checked it.
No agency paid to be here, and no listing depends on a link back. DiscountOS is a Shopify app, not an agency, so we have no one of our own to rank.
Questions people ask
How much does a Shopify agency in Canada cost?
The spread is wide. Vertex Dimension lists work from $49, Makro Agency from $5,000 and Diff from $25,000: those are the three of seven Canadian Shopify profiles we read that print a price. FireNet Designs bills by the hour instead, from $120. Each figure is where one service starts, not the price of a whole project. None of the nine agencies here publishes a full-build range, so a new store or a replatform gets its own quote.
How many Shopify partners are there in Canada?
On 31 October 2026 the Shopify Partner Directory showed 259 partners with Canada as their main location. 13 were Platinum, 11 Premier and 55 Plus.
Which Shopify agencies in Canada work in French?
Makro Agency in Montréal and Novatize in Quebec City both list French next to English on their Shopify profiles. Our section on bilingual stores for Québec covers what to ask them.
Can I hire someone to set up my Shopify store in Canada?
Yes, at most budgets. Every agency here sets up Shopify stores, with teams in Toronto, Mississauga, Montréal, Quebec City, Ottawa, Winnipeg and Kimberley. Vertex Dimension's profile lists work from $49, and FireNet Designs bills by the hour.
