Multi-store Shopify Plus is a different beast.
I've been running one for 6.5 years.

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.

300+ orders processed daily across NZ, AU, US, EU. Zero critical failures. Now taking on a few external clients.

What I do

Three things I do exceptionally well

Deep expertise in Shopify operations, automation, and NZ/AU marketplace growth — where most merchants leave the most money on the table.

Real case studies

Problems solved. Numbers that prove it.

Every one honest — real problem, real solution, real numbers.

Cross-store reporting dashboard ? 4 Shopify stores, 7,683 SKUs, unified in NZD

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.

AAOsync ? product, price + inventory sync across 4 Shopify stores (for one-off products Cin7 doesn’t manage)

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.

300+ Orders auto-cleaned daily before reaching customs

StarshipIt webhook ? sanitising customs labels so parcels stop getting held at borders

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.

Varun
Why me

6.5 years building production Shopify systems. Then I started doing it for others too.

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.
