I'm the in-house Shopify Plus engineer at Army & Outdoors. 6.5 years building their multi-store operation — sync, marketplaces, integrations, custom apps. ClickBrown is how I open that depth up to a few NZ & AU merchants. Direct contact, no agency.
Deep expertise in Shopify operations, automation, and NZ/AU marketplace growth — where most merchants leave the most money on the table.
Multi-store sync, live FX pricing, store-specific multipliers, checkout extensions, plus theme-level custom features and UI work when projects need it. Built once and running in production for 5+ years across 4 regions.

Army & Outdoors
Built a custom multi-store Shopify reporting platform from scratch. Aggregates 4 regional stores into a single NZD-converted view, with SKU-level cross-store performance, days-to-sell tracking, and inventory health ? replaces hours of manual Admin clicking + Excel work every week.
Read case study →AAO normally pushes regular products from Cin7 into Shopify. But there's a category of one-off products that live only in Shopify ? creating each of them 4 times by hand across NZ/AU/US/EU was eating product manager time. Built a webhook-driven sync: create once on NZ, auto-replicates to other 3 stores with FX-converted pricing. Inventory stays in sync across all 4 stores in near real-time. Running 3+ years, zero failures.
Read case study →AAO sells outdoor and military gear. Some product names ? words like 'combat', specific gun part names ? were consistently flagging at customs and getting parcels held for inspection. All products are legal, but the delays and customer-service hassle were real. Built a private Shopify app + webhook that strips flagged words from the title sent to StarshipIt, while keeping the marketable name on the storefront. 300+ orders cleaned daily, runs unattended.

I'm Varun — sole developer at Army & Outdoors, a multi-store outdoor retailer operating across NZ, AU, US, and EU on Shopify Plus. Since 2019 I've built and maintained every production system they run: multi-store sync, live FX pricing, marketplace automation, ERP integrations, checkout extensions, reporting dashboards. 11 live systems, 300+ orders automated daily, zero critical failures.
I also run my own Shopify store, BrandSHD. So when I talk about operational pain, I'm not theorising — I'm living it. I know what it costs to get this wrong because I've felt it on my own data.
I'm not an agency. One person. Direct contact. Fixed-scope NZD pricing. If your problem isn't a good fit, I'll tell you that and point you somewhere better.
No lengthy discovery phases. I move quickly, communicate clearly, and deliver to production — not staging.
Free 30-min call. Tell me what's broken or slowing you down. I'll tell you honestly if I can help — or who you should talk to instead.
Fixed-scope proposal in NZD. Exact cost, exact timeline. No hourly estimates. No scope creep. No invoice surprises.
Planned, tested, deployed to production — not handed off on staging and abandoned. Full technical documentation included.
1 month direct support included after launch. Monthly retainer available if you want me on standby.
Tell me what's slowing you down. I'll tell you honestly if I can help and exactly what it'll cost — no obligation, no sales process.
