How much does a Shopify store setup cost?
A Shopify store with Devmenta costs from $399 a month, plus Shopify's own subscription and any paid apps, which Shopify and app developers bill you directly. Yearly billing is $2,000, $3,500 or $6,000 depending on the plan.
Starter ($399/mo) gets a 5-page, mobile-responsive Shopify site live in about 7 days with basic on-page SEO, domain and SSL setup, and live chat or social links. Growth ($699/mo) is a custom Shopify design with 10 pages plus a blog, motion graphics, custom graphics, advanced on-page SEO, speed optimization and monthly backups. Scale ($1,199/mo) is built for stores that take payments from day one: e-commerce and payment gateways, GA4 and Meta pixel, email flows, WhatsApp or live chat, ad management, weekly backups and 24/7 monitoring.
For comparison, US Shopify agencies often quote several thousand dollars upfront for a custom store. Devmenta spreads the work into a monthly plan with no lock-in. Full details are on the pricing page.
Shopify theme customization or a custom store design?
Theme customization adapts an existing Shopify theme to your brand and is the faster, lower-cost route; a custom design builds the layout around your products and customers. Starter suits a theme-based launch, while Growth and Scale give you a custom Shopify design.
Customize a theme if your catalog is simple and you want to start selling quickly. Choose a custom design when your products need more storytelling, your brand has a distinct look, or the current theme keeps getting in the way of how you want to merchandise.
Moving your store to Shopify
A Shopify migration is mostly a data and URL job: products, collections, customer records where the old platform allows export, and redirects from old URLs to new ones. Devmenta quotes migrations per project, because the work depends on catalog size and how much custom data you have.
Before switching, list the apps and features you rely on today, check which have Shopify equivalents, and plan the redirect map so existing links and search listings keep pointing somewhere useful.
Why hire Shopify experts in Pakistan?
A Pakistan-based Shopify team like Devmenta gives US, UK and Gulf brands design, development and marketing in one place, at monthly prices that are often well below typical US or UK agency rates, with real working-hour overlap.
Devmenta works on Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+5), which covers the full UK and UAE/Saudi working day and US East Coast mornings, with calls on Zoom, Google Meet or WhatsApp. The same team can run your Google Shopping and Meta ads, Klaviyo email flows and social content after launch.

How to choose a Shopify development agency
Pick a Shopify agency that shows live stores, puts pricing and scope in writing, and can support you after launch, not just hand over a theme. Ask these questions before you sign:
- Can I see live e-commerce sites you have built? Devmenta's portfolio links to working sites.
- Is the price fixed, and what happens if I am not happy? Devmenta has a 30-day money-back guarantee and no lock-in.
- Who sets up payments, tracking and email flows, and on which plan?
- Do you handle SEO, or is the store left invisible after launch?
