Experienced Shopify Developer Needed to Complete Store Launch

Overview We're looking for an experienced Shopify developer to help complete and launch an existing Shopify store. The majority of the website has already been built and customized. We've also used AI-assisted coding (Claude) to speed up development. Overall, the store is in good shape, but some custom code has introduced layout, navigation, and functionality issues that now need to be professionally cleaned up. This is NOT a redesign project. We're looking for someone who can review the existing work, fix technical issues, recommend the best payment solution, and prepare the store for launch. The website will be shared with shortlisted candidates. Audit Please perform a complete review of the Shopify store, including: Theme health Custom Liquid, CSS & JavaScript Navigation Mobile responsiveness Performance Shopify app conflicts Overall functionality Any launch-blocking issues We're aware of at least one issue caused by recent custom code changes, but we'd like a full technical review before any work begins. Fixes Please resolve any issues identified during the audit, including: Navigation and layout bugs CSS or JavaScript conflicts Mobile display issues Product page inconsistencies Collection page improvements General code cleanup and optimization Our goal is a clean, stable, and maintainable Shopify store that's ready for future growth. Payments The business operates in the adult wellness e-commerce space, so we'll need a payment solution that's appropriate for this business model. Experience with high-risk payment gateways is a plus, but not required. If you haven't worked with adult businesses before but have strong Shopify and payment integration experience, we'd still like to hear from you. Please recommend and implement the solution you believe is best, explaining why. Testing Before the project is complete, we'd like everything fully tested, including: Cart Checkout Mobile Desktop Product pages Collections Payments Shipping Taxes Discount codes Order confirmations Customer emails The project is complete when the store is ready to accept live customer orders. About the Business Shopify Premium e-commerce brand Physical products Dropshipping One-time purchases Long-term growth focused We're looking for someone interested in building a long-term relationship, not just completing a one-time task. Budget Fixed Price: $500–$1,000 We're looking for the right developer—not simply the lowest bid. If additional work is recommended after your audit, please explain your findings before proceeding. For the right developer, there is strong potential for ongoing Shopify work as we continue growing the business. Preferred Skills Shopify Shopify Liquid CSS JavaScript Theme customization Payment gateway integration Performance optimization Experience working with AI-generated Shopify code (Claude or ChatGPT) is a bonus.
