Development for Australian brands, built for Australian shoppers

Australian consumer brands live or die on Afterpay. It is the default expectation for fashion, beauty and home goods, and a store without it reads as incomplete to a large share of shoppers. Beyond payments, demand is strong for subscription and bundle flows, loyalty programmes, and product pages that handle variants, sizing and delivery estimates clearly. On the B2B side, trade stores need account pricing, bulk ordering and integration with the accounting tools Australian businesses already use. Both need sites that perform on Australian networks and mobile connections, not just on a fast office connection elsewhere.

Australian checkout starts with Shopify Payments, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with Afterpay added for consumer brands and Zip as a second buy-now-pay-later option where it fits. GST must be configured correctly for Australian sales, including GST-inclusive pricing display and tax invoices that reconcile with accounting software. I test the full checkout on staging, including Afterpay approval and decline paths and refund handling, because buy-now-pay-later edge cases are a common source of support tickets after launch.
