Shopify Development in Houston
Houston is the fourth-largest city in the US with 2.3 million residents and a retail market worth over $28 billion annually. From Galleria-area fashion stores to energy company merchandise operations, Houston businesses need Shopify stores that handle high volume and diverse product lines. We build custom Shopify storefronts that match the scale of this city.
Why Houston Merchants Choose Shopify
Houston has the most diverse population of any major US city, which translates to an incredibly varied retail market. The city is home to 26 Fortune 500 companies, a massive food scene with 10,000+ restaurants, and a retail corridor stretching from The Galleria to Rice Village. Shopify powers 4.8 million+ stores worldwide and processed over $236 billion in GMV — making it the right platform for Houston merchants who want to sell online without managing servers or security patches.
- Houston has 2.3 million residents and the most ethnically diverse consumer base in the US
- The Galleria alone draws 30 million visitors annually — merchants there need online stores to capture post-visit sales
- Energy sector companies in Houston increasingly sell branded merchandise and safety equipment through e-commerce
- Houston is a top-5 US metro for restaurant and food brand D2C shipping operations
