Why NZ & AU merchants hire a local specialist — not an offshore agency
Overseas agencies don’t know TradeMe. They’ve never configured Cin7 for a NZ retailer. They don’t understand the difference between how Shopify Payments works in NZ vs AU, or why StarshipIt is the dominant shipping platform here.
ClickBrown is built from the inside out on the tools that NZ and AU merchants actually use — not international tools that happen to have a NZ option.
NZ’s largest marketplace. We’ve managed live TradeMe stores via Omnivore — not just documentation.
NZST. Mon–Fri 8:30am–5pm. No chasing an overseas team at 2am when something breaks.
You talk to the person doing the work. No account managers, no handoffs, no translation layer.
The ERPs that NZ retailers actually use — Cin7 Omni webhook integrations running in production.

What makes us different from every other Shopify agency in NZ and AU
Local. Actually local.
Christchurch-based, NZST, Mon–Fri. Not a remote team using a NZ address for credibility.

Frequently asked questions
Overseas agencies don’t know TradeMe, Cin7, or StarshipIt — the platforms that NZ and AU merchants actually depend on. They can’t advise on NZ-specific Shopify Payments behaviour, local shipping carriers, or how to integrate with the ERPs your accountant expects. ClickBrown is Christchurch-based, operates in NZST, and has run these exact tools in live production for 6.5 years.
Our rate is NZD $150–200/hr. A TradeMe or eBay marketplace setup typically runs NZD $1,500–$3,000. A Shopify–Cin7 integration or automation project starts around $2,000–$5,000 depending on complexity. Retainer support starts from NZD $800/month. All pricing is in NZD — no currency conversion surprises. We provide fixed-scope proposals so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins.
Yes — we work remotely with merchants across NZ and Australia. Being Christchurch-based means we share your timezone and business hours. We communicate via email, Slack, or Zoom — whatever suits you. Most of our work is done remotely, and we’ve managed multi-regional stores across NZ, AU, US, and EU without needing to be on-site.
Yes — TradeMe and eBay are our strongest marketplace specialties for NZ and AU merchants. We’ve managed live accounts using Omnivore, DataFeedWatch, and direct integrations. We handle account setup, feed configuration, category mapping, and ongoing optimisation. We can also expand to Amazon AU, OnBuy, and Google Shopping.
No — we work with merchants on standard Shopify plans too. Shopify Plus unlocks checkout extensions and some advanced API features, but most automation, marketplace, and integration work applies to any Shopify plan. If you’re unsure what you need, just reach out and we’ll be honest about what’s possible for your setup.
