Your Shopify store should work as hard as you do
ClickBrown helps NZ and AU merchants automate operations, connect marketplaces, and build the technical systems that turn a growing store into a reliable revenue engine.
What we solve
Manual ops eating your time
ERP integrations breaking down
Missing marketplace revenue
Generalist dev agencies
Slow custom checkout builds
Three things we do exceptionally well
Not a generalist agency. We go deep on Shopify operations, automation, and marketplace growth — the three areas where most merchants leave the most time and money on the table.
Shopify development
Custom apps, webhook integrations, checkout extensions, multi-store sync, and theme development. Built to production standard.
Automation & integrations
ERP connections, shipping automation, pricing engines, n8n workflows — operational leverage so your team stops doing things manually.
Marketplace growth
TradeMe, eBay, Amazon, OnBuy — feed setup, tool configuration, and ongoing optimisation to grow your revenue across channels.
Real production experience — not agency theory
Everything we offer is backed by real systems built and running in production across multiple stores and markets.
4 regional stores, NZ/AU/US/EU — zero critical production issues across all systems.
StarshipIt webhook integration processing and validating orders every day in production.
BrandSHD fragrance store — custom API integrations, automated pricing, Klaviyo flows.
TradeMe, eBay, Amazon, OnBuy, Google Shopping — real merchant accounts, real tools.
What makes us different from other Shopify agencies
Most NZ and AU agencies are design-led generalists. We’re operations-led specialists — and that changes everything about how we work.
Senior-only work
You get the person who quotes the work doing the work. No juniors, no handoffs, no surprises.
We run our own store
BrandSHD means we understand the merchant perspective — we’ve felt the same pain you have.
Operations-first thinking
We don’t just build it and leave. We think about how your team will use it, maintain it, and scale it.
Tool-agnostic marketplace advice
We’ve used Omnivore, DataFeedWatch, CedCommerce and more — we recommend what fits you, not what we prefer.
Lean, fast, no overhead
No agency markup, no account managers in the middle. Direct access, fast delivery, honest pricing.
NZ and AU focused
We understand local markets, local tools (TradeMe, Cin7, StarshipIt), and local merchant needs.
Simple to get started
No lengthy discovery phases or bloated proposals. We move quickly and communicate clearly.
Have a conversation
Tell us what you’re trying to solve. No forms, no funnels — just a direct conversation about your store.
We scope it clearly
You get a clear, fixed-scope proposal with timeline and cost. No ambiguity, no scope creep surprises.
We build and ship
We build it properly — planned, tested, documented — and deliver it to production. Not just a staging environment.
We stay available
After launch, retainer clients get ongoing support. Project clients get a handover doc and direct contact details.
Frequently asked questions
ClickBrown is a Shopify operations and automation specialist. We build custom Shopify apps and integrations, automate manual business operations, and set up merchants on marketplaces like TradeMe, eBay, Amazon, and OnBuy. We work with NZ and AU merchants who have outgrown their current setup and need a senior technical specialist — not a generalist design agency.
No — we work with merchants on standard Shopify plans too. Shopify Plus unlocks checkout extensions and some advanced API features, so some services require it. But most automation, integration, and marketplace work applies to any Shopify store doing meaningful volume. If you’re not sure, just reach out and we’ll be straightforward about what’s possible for your setup.
Our hourly rate is NZD $150–200 depending on the work involved. A typical marketplace setup project runs NZD $1,500–$3,000 per platform. An automation or integration project typically starts around $2,000–$5,000 depending on complexity. Retainer support starts from $800/month. We provide fixed-scope proposals so you know exactly what you’re getting before any work begins.
Yes — we work remotely with merchants across NZ and Australia, and we’ve worked with multi-regional stores covering US and EU markets too. Our primary focus is NZ and AU merchants because that’s where our deepest local knowledge is, but the technical work is platform-agnostic and can serve any region.
Just send us a message via the contact page. Tell us what you’re trying to solve and a bit about your store. We’ll get back to you within one business day. There’s no obligation — if we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you honestly.
