We are based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. For the time being, we focus on Web Development and partnerships in Calgary, Edmonton and the province of Alberta.

Can you bring your team onsite?

Yes! Our team can work alongside of your team to perform certain high level activities like architecture, business analysis or reviews. However, development and production work is completed remotely.

Do you do brand, creative design work or creative writing?

We partner with your creative team or local and remote agencies, depending on the type of creative work you need. We do not directly employ or contract creative staff, since our focus is user experience design, technical architecture, web security, software testing, hosting and managed support.

Shopify - Scalar Builds

We Build Shopify Commerce Experiences

Shopify is a leading commerce platform built for brands that need fast launch cycles, dependable checkout performance, and room to scale. Its ecosystem supports flexible merchandising, omnichannel sales, subscription models, and app-driven extensibility for modern digital commerce.

We Build Shopify Solutions for Growth and Complexity

We architect Shopify implementations to enterprise standards, from Shopify Plus storefronts to headless commerce builds and B2B portals. Our work includes secure app and API integrations, ERP and fulfillment connectivity, theme and checkout extensibility, performance optimization, governance controls, and continuous improvement workflows. The result is a commerce platform engineered for conversion, operational resilience, and long-term scalability.

Types of Sites We Build

DTC eCommerce Stores

Conversion-focused Shopify storefronts built to improve product discovery, increase average order value, and reduce checkout friction.

B2B & Wholesale Commerce

FAQ

Do you have additional questions about building a website or a web application with us?

What types of websites or web apps do you build?

We are a large enterprise and security matters to us. How do you secure Shopify implementations and what industry standards do you align to?

Platform security depends on architecture, governance, and operations.

Shopify provides a hardened SaaS commerce core, but enterprise outcomes still depend on app governance, integration security, identity controls, and operational discipline. Most security risk comes from misconfigured apps, broad permissions, unmanaged scripts, and weak release controls.

First, we implement Shopify within a controlled architecture. That includes WAF and bot mitigation at the edge, strict Content Security Policy (CSP) and script governance, app permission reviews, webhook validation, and least-privilege operational access.

Second, we enforce identity and access governance using enterprise identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) or AWS IAM. Shopify administrative access can be federated through SSO with MFA, conditional access policies, and role-based access control aligned with your internal directory. This removes shared credentials and enforces enterprise authentication standards.

Third, we isolate the application environment. We deploy segmented environments (dev, staging, production), enforce secure CI/CD processes, restrict plugin installation through governance policies, and conduct structured update validation before release to production.

Fourth, we implement proactive monitoring and incident response. This includes vulnerability scanning, log auditing, anomaly detection, file integrity monitoring, backup validation, and structured incident response processes with defined escalation paths.

What security standards do you align your implementations to?
