Overview

Shopify Built For The Irish Checkout

A Shopify store selling to Irish people has Irish problems to solve. VAT at 23%, EU OSS rules when you sell cross-border, and IOSS for imports. Shoppers who expect Shop Pay, Klarna, Apple Pay and PayPal at checkout. Shipping promises that depend on An Post, DPD and 3PL warehouses. A US-built theme with USD pasted over EUR will not cut it.

We build Shopify stores for Ireland brands remotely from our Manchester studio — same timezone, no jet lag. That means VAT configured correctly in Shopify Tax, An Post, DPD and 3PLs wired to your warehouse, Klaviyo flows in native English, and themes designed around Irish buying behaviour — reviews prominent, shipping costs clear early, returns policy impossible to miss.

For growing Irish brands we work on Shopify Plus: checkout extensibility, Shopify Functions for Ireland-specific discounts and shipping logic, and B2B wholesale channels alongside DTC. Every build ships accessibility-conscious, meeting EU accessibility standards.

We serve Ireland from our Manchester studio — no Irish office, no pretence. Same timezone (GMT), native English, a 65-minute flight when face time matters, and every project quoted per project in EUR.

The tax problem

Irish VAT Is A Build Task, Not An Afterthought

Ireland runs on VAT. 23% standard rate, reduced rates for hospitality and food, and EU OSS/IOSS schemes the moment you sell across borders. Getting it wrong means Revenue trouble; getting it right means configuring Shopify Tax correctly during the build — not bolting it on later.

Checkout is where Irish stores win or lose. Klarna adoption keeps climbing, Shop Pay for speed, and shoppers abandon over surprise shipping costs more than anything else. We tune the payment mix and surface real carrier rates early, because a fast theme means nothing if checkout leaks.

3PL integration decides delivery promises. If you warehouse in Ireland or fulfil across the EU, the store has to reflect real inventory and real transit times. We wire those integrations so "next-day delivery" is a promise the warehouse can keep.

Selling to Irish people on another platform? We also build WordPress sites for Irish businesses, and our ecommerce SEO for Ireland brings the traffic. Overview: Ireland hub.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Why choose Shopify Plus for an Ireland brand?

Plus unlocks checkout extensibility — custom checkout logic, Functions for Ireland-specific discounts and shipping rules, and B2B wholesale alongside your DTC store. For Irish brands doing serious volume or selling wholesale, those controls pay for themselves. We will tell you honestly if standard Shopify is enough.

How do you handle VAT on Shopify for Ireland?

We configure Shopify Tax for Irish VAT during the build: 23% standard rate, reduced rates where they apply, OSS for EU cross-border sales — so you launch compliant. For complex multi-country setups we layer Avalara where it earns its place.

Which Irish shipping carriers and 3PLs do you integrate?

An Post, DPD, DHL and other couriers as standard, with real-time rates at checkout and tracking pushed to customers. If you use a different 3PL, we integrate its API the same way.

What about Shop Pay and Irish payment methods?

Shop Pay is configured and optimised — it is one of the highest-converting checkout options in the Ireland — alongside Shop Pay Installments, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal. We test the full payment mix across states before launch.

Do we ever need to meet in person?

Rarely — the same timezone means calls and video reviews just work. And Manchester to Dublin is a 65-minute flight, so we travel when a kickoff or launch day genuinely needs face time.

How much does a Shopify build for Ireland cost?

A custom Shopify store typically runs €5,000 to €15,000 depending on design, integrations and catalogue size; Shopify Plus builds start higher because of the checkout and B2B work. Shopify's own plan fees are separate. Every project gets a fixed quote in EUR before we start.
