Work With a US-Based Shopify Consultant
Anchor Group's US-based Shopify consultants help businesses plan, implement, customize, integrate, and improve Shopify, including Shopify Plus, B2B ecommerce, and NetSuite-connected stores. Whether you're launching a new site, improving an existing one, or figuring out how Shopify should fit into the rest of your operation, we'll help you determine the most practical way forward.
A Shopify consultant helps businesses make better decisions about how Shopify should be configured, customized, integrated, and managed.
Sometimes that means planning a new Shopify implementation. Sometimes it's figuring out why an existing store has become harder to manage than it should be. And sometimes the storefront is working just fine, but inventory, orders, customer data, fulfillment, or financial information isn't moving cleanly between Shopify and the systems behind it.
That's where good Shopify consulting becomes less about Shopify in isolation and more about understanding the business Shopify needs to support.
At Anchor Group, our Shopify consultants work alongside developers, ecommerce specialists, integration experts, and NetSuite consultants so we can look at both the storefront and what happens after a customer clicks Place Order.
Ecommerce and ERP Should Be on Speaking Terms
This is one of the areas where Anchor Group is a little different from a typical Shopify consultancy.
We work extensively in both ecommerce and ERP. Anchor Group is a Shopify agency and an Oracle NetSuite Alliance Partner, so our team understands the customer-facing Shopify store as well as the financial, inventory, order management, and fulfillment processes happening in NetSuite behind it.
For businesses using both platforms, our Shopify and NetSuite consultants can help with integration strategy, data flows, order processing, inventory synchronization, customer records, fulfillment, financial workflows, B2B requirements, and the inevitable edge cases that show up once two major systems start sharing data.
Technically connected and working well are two very different things.
B2B ecommerce tends to get complicated quickly.
Customer-specific pricing, payment terms, purchase orders, company accounts, multiple buyers, approval workflows, inventory visibility, and ERP data can all affect how a Shopify B2B store needs to operate.
Our Shopify consultants help manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and other B2B businesses think through those requirements before they turn into a collection of workarounds.
For businesses using Shopify Plus and NetSuite together, we can also help determine which system should own each part of the process and how information should move between them.
You don't necessarily need a consultant every time you want to change something in Shopify. Plenty of everyday updates can—and probably should—be handled internally.
A Shopify consultant becomes more useful when the decision affects multiple parts of your ecommerce operation or when you're not sure which solution is actually the right one.
You may want to hire a Shopify consultant when you're:
If the problem starts with “Shopify does this, but then our ERP does that…” you've probably reached consultant territory.
Shopify Expertise That Goes Beyond the Storefront
There are plenty of people who know how to build a Shopify store. That's important. But for growing businesses, the storefront is only one piece of the operation.
Anchor Group brings Shopify consulting, development, ERP, and integration expertise together so the decisions made in Shopify account for what happens everywhere else.
Our team can help you:
We're not interested in making Shopify more complicated than it needs to be. The goal is a storefront and ecommerce operation your team can actually run, maintain, and grow with.
Anchor Group's consultants and developers are based in the United States and work with businesses across the country.
That means you can work directly with the people helping plan and build your Shopify environment, with shared business hours and straightforward communication when a project crosses ecommerce, development, ERP, or integration work.
Our team is headquartered in Wisconsin, but you don't need to be nearby to work with us. Most Shopify consulting and development projects can be handled remotely, with the right specialists brought into the conversation as the project requires them.
A Shopify consultant and a Shopify developer can work on the same project, but they don't necessarily solve the same problem.
A Shopify consultant focuses on requirements, strategy, processes, architecture, platform decisions, integrations, and determining how Shopify should support the business.
A Shopify developer focuses more heavily on building the technical solution—theme customization, custom functionality, apps, APIs, integrations, and other development work.
Many projects need both.
At Anchor Group, our consultants and developers work together, so you don't have to figure out which side of the line your problem falls on before contacting us. Tell us what you're trying to accomplish, and we'll bring in the right expertise.
You don't need to decide whether you need a consultant, developer, integration expert, or something else before you reach out. Tell us what you're trying to accomplish or what's getting in the way. We'll work through the rest together.
1. Terry will reach out. Usually in about an hour... except on weekends, when he'll be on lake time.
2. We'll talk through the situation. We'll ask how Shopify fits into your operation, what you're trying to change, and where things are getting complicated.
3. We'll bring in the right people. We'll connect you with the Shopify consultants, developers, or other ecommerce experts who make sense for what we uncover.
Yes. Anchor Group is headquartered in Wisconsin, and our US-based consultants and developers support Shopify projects for businesses across the United States.
Yes. You don't need to be implementing Shopify from scratch. A Shopify store consultant can help evaluate an existing environment, troubleshoot problems, plan improvements, assess apps and customizations, improve integrations, and determine what should be tackled next.
Yes. Anchor Group specializes in ecommerce and NetSuite, including Shopify NetSuite integration. Our consultants can help determine which information should move between Shopify and NetSuite, how the integration should work, and how both systems should support your broader business processes.
Yes. Anchor Group provides Shopify Plus consulting for businesses with more complex ecommerce requirements, including B2B ecommerce, integrations, custom functionality, migrations, and connections between Shopify Plus and NetSuite.
If you already know exactly what needs to be built, you may primarily need a Shopify developer. If you're still determining the right solution, architecture, workflow, or integration approach, a Shopify consultant can help define the path before development begins. More complex projects often benefit from both.
You don't need to diagnose the problem before talking to us. Whether you're planning a Shopify implementation, evaluating Shopify Plus, improving an existing store, building B2B ecommerce, connecting Shopify to NetSuite, or dealing with something that doesn't fit neatly into a service category, tell us what's going on. We'll help you determine the most practical next step.
