Hiring a Shopify dev
shouldn't be this hard.
Padded invoices. Disappear for weeks. The 3-hour task that took 9 hours and you can't prove it.
$25K minimum. Account managers. A six-week SOW for a cart drawer change.
$140K/yr fully loaded. Recruiting takes four months. They quit after eight.
Three steps. No surprises.

Inventory alerts, fraud rules, customer tagging, order routing.
Loved by founders who can't afford slow.
“Loopen ships cleaner code in two days than our last agency did in two months. The async Trello flow means I'm not stuck in meetings. I'm getting work back.”
“I stopped justifying $8K/month freelance bills. I pay $2,495, I get unlimited senior Shopify work, I pause when we're slow. The math is obvious.”
“We migrated from BigCommerce to headless Shopify in 11 days. Klaviyo wired up, Recharge subscriptions live. Same money I'd spend on one ad campaign.”
“The Salesforce ↔ Shopify sync alone is worth the subscription. Three engineering shops had quoted me $45K. Loopen shipped it in week one.”
“First Shopify dev I've kept on retainer past month two. The 24–48hr SLA actually holds, even on the tricky things. No drama.”

Questions, answered.

Hourly creates the wrong incentives. Slow work = bigger invoice. Subscription means I'm optimizing for shipping fast and keeping you happy enough to renew next month. Same model as DesignJoy ($2M ARR solo). Proven to work.
Included: Shopify development of any kind: theme, apps, integrations, performance, automations, headless. Not included: design (I'll happily implement Figma, but won't make pixels), copywriting, paid media, SEO content, anything not Shopify-adjacent.
Most tasks ship in 24–48 hours on Pro, 48–72 on Starter. "Tasks" means scoped units: a feature, a fix, a section build. You can see the queue live in Trello.
Still part of unlimited. No project fees, no separate tier. Big builds run as a series of 24–48 hour task slices shipped progressively over 2–6 weeks (sometimes longer for genuinely complex work). The SLA applies per slice, not the whole build. We map the slicing plan together at the start so you know what's shipping each week.
Yes. Pause keeps your unused days and resumes whenever you do. Cancel and you're out at the end of the billing cycle. No exit fees, no calls. Pause, cancel, update payment, view invoices: all one click in your billing portal (link in the footer and in every account email).
Pause it. Your unused billing days bank. Some clients run for 8 months on 4 months of billing. The model only works if it stays fair.
Just me. No agency, no junior dev hidden behind a PM. I'm a senior full-stack dev based in Manila, 7+ years in Shopify (Liquid, Admin API, Flow), Next.js, React, WordPress, Salesforce. I respond on Trello, async, in your business hours when possible.
Yes. Both standard. I use a baseline mutual NDA (yours or mine) and a DPA aligned to GDPR / CCPA for data processing. Send yours, I'll sign within a day.
Hi, I'm the developer.
Not a sales team.
Seven years in the Shopify stack. Started on Liquid, lived through every Online Store version, shipped headless Hydrogen and Next.js storefronts before they were cool. Salesforce-Commerce migrations, custom apps that survived audits, Klaviyo flows that actually move revenue.
I built Loopen because the gap between "I need a freelancer for two days" and "I need to hire a senior dev" is where good Shopify brands stall. This is the middle path: senior work, monthly, no friction.
