We've been building Shopify stores since 2011, and Miami brands are some of our most interesting work. Fashion labels in Wynwood, resort wear brands shipping to five countries, beauty DTC stores with bilingual English/Spanish storefronts, fragrance houses reaching LATAM from a Brickell warehouse. Miami doesn't do plain domestic eCommerce. Neither do we.
No other US city sells to the world quite like Miami does. Brands here routinely operate in two languages, price in multiple currencies, and ship to customers across Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, and Argentina. Sometimes all from the same Shopify store. It’s not unusual. It’s just Miami.
The visual benchmark here is high. Miami consumers shop the boutiques on Brickell Avenue and the global luxury sites in the same browser session. They don’t accept generic templates. A store that looks like it was thrown together in an afternoon won’t cut it with a buyer who’s comparing you to brands they discovered during a layover in Madrid. Our Shopify store design work is built for that standard.
We’ve built 500+ Shopify stores since 2011. Miami brands in our portfolio span resort wear, luxury accessories, bilingual beauty DTC, and fragrance houses shipping to LATAM. Whether you’re selling to South Beach or scaling into Bogotá, we build the infrastructure that handles both without friction. Check our portfolio to see what that looks like in practice.
Miami's eCommerce market isn't domestic. It's multicultural, bilingual, and shipping to LATAM. We've spent years learning what actually converts in each of these categories, and our 30+ in-house specialists have the technical depth to back it up.
Whether it's a Miami brand's first Shopify store or a full international rollout with multi-currency, multi-language, and LATAM-specific payment methods, we handle every layer. We don't outsource to freelancers. Our 30+ in-house specialists own the work from strategy through to launch.
Miami brands need a Shopify partner who actually understands international eCommerce, not one who learned it on their project. We've been doing multi-market, multi-currency, bilingual builds since before it was a standard Shopify feature. Here's what that means in practice.
Miami brands have some of the most complex Shopify requirements of any US city. Multi-market, multi-language, multi-currency, multi-audience all at once. Our process is built to handle that complexity so it doesn't become your problem to manage. It's stayed the same since we became a Shopify Partner in 2017, because it works.
Yes, and Shopify is genuinely one of the better platforms for this. Shopify Markets (available on all plans) and the more advanced features on Shopify Plus give Miami brands real tools for LATAM expansion: automatic currency conversion or fixed local pricing per market, region-specific payment methods, Spanish or Portuguese storefronts, international shipping carrier rate calculation, and duty and import tax display at checkout.
The critical thing is configuring Shopify Markets correctly from the start. Miami brands who come to us with an existing single-market store wanting to add LATAM markets often find it requires more restructuring than they expected. We prevent that by planning the full international architecture at discovery, before any build work starts. It’s a better outcome for everyone.
Shopify’s native translation architecture and Translate & Adapt app handle the technical side well. For Miami brands, we build fully localised Spanish storefronts using that infrastructure, but the content itself isn’t machine translated. It’s properly written Spanish copy for product descriptions, collection pages, checkout, email automations, and marketing landing pages. There’s a real difference and Miami’s Spanish-dominant shoppers notice it.
We also configure the correct SEO architecture for bilingual stores: hreflang tags, Spanish-language meta titles and descriptions, and a URL structure that works for both language versions. A lot of Miami brands lose significant Spanish-language search traffic because they’ve got translated content but no Spanish SEO infrastructure. We build it correctly the first time.
Latin American payment methods vary significantly by country and you can’t ignore them if you want to convert LATAM shoppers at a real rate. In Mexico, a large proportion of online purchases are still made via OXXO cash vouchers and local instalment schemes. Credit card penetration varies dramatically across the region.
Through Shopify Payments, local payment providers, and third-party gateway integrations, we configure: Mexico: OXXO, Kueski Pay, Clip, Conekta; Brazil: Boleto Bancário, Pix, Cielo; Colombia: PSE, Nequi, Efecty; Argentina: Mercado Pago, Naranja X; Chile: Webpay, Khipu. Getting this right is one of the highest-impact conversion decisions a Miami brand makes for LATAM expansion. Most brands get it wrong.
International shipping for LATAM markets has several layers. Carrier selection and rate display at checkout (DHL, FedEx, UPS, and local carriers like Correos), duty and import tax calculation (Shopify’s Duties and Import Taxes feature, or Avalara cross-border), landed cost display at checkout so customers know the full price upfront, and HS code assignment for customs clearance accuracy. Each piece matters.
We also help Miami brands decide whether to ship DDP (Delivered Duty Paid, where the brand collects and remits duties) or DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid, where the customer pays on delivery). It’s a decision that significantly affects cart abandonment in LATAM markets. DDP tends to convert better but requires more operational setup. We advise on the right model for your specific products and markets, not a one-size answer.
Yes. We’ve worked with Miami fashion and luxury brands who need Shopify stores that look as considered as the boutiques on Brickell Avenue. Shopify is completely capable for luxury eCommerce when the theme is built properly. Editorial layouts, full-bleed product photography, refined typography, a checkout experience that doesn’t feel generic, and the page speed luxury consumers expect.
The visual standard isn’t a platform question, it’s a build quality question. We’ve built luxury Shopify stores that are visually indistinguishable from bespoke platform builds, and they convert better because Shopify’s infrastructure is more reliable. It’s a real advantage, not a compromise. Take a look at our portfolio to see what that looks like.
Cost depends on scope: page template count, international market configuration, complexity of the bilingual setup, and whether a platform migration is included. Miami builds often have more layers than a straightforward domestic project.
A focused custom Shopify build for a single-market Miami brand typically starts from $5,000–$12,000. A full build with Spanish-language storefront and Shopify Markets configuration for 2–3 LATAM markets typically ranges from $12,000–$28,000. A Shopify Plus build for a luxury Miami fashion brand with full international rollout typically starts from $25,000 and scales with the number of markets and regional payment complexity.
We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a discovery call. All international configuration work is explicitly scoped and priced. There aren’t surprises six months in when you realise LATAM payment methods weren’t included.
Yes, and for Miami brands expanding internationally, ongoing support is genuinely valuable. Launching a new LATAM market on an existing store involves real configuration work: currency setup, payment method activation, shipping carrier updates, Spanish localisation for new products. A partner who already knows your store architecture makes each new market launch faster and less error-prone than briefing a new agency from scratch every time.
Our monthly retainer plans for Miami brands cover new market activation and configuration, Spanish localisation for new product launches, international payment method updates, performance monitoring across all active markets, and conversion rate optimisation work as the platform evolves. Our 98% client retention rate is what that relationship looks like in practice.
