The bottleneck
What slows teams down today.
02 ◆
Time-zone math gets in the way. You need overlap that's actually-overlapping, not "I'll respond tomorrow morning your time."
03 ◆
You want a developer who knows your country's payment ecosystem (Shopify Payments availability, currency, sales tax handling).
04 ◆
Communication on slow channels costs trust. Daily Loom updates + weekly demo cycle keeps the engagement honest.

What I actually ship.

FAQ
Canadian client FAQs.
No fluff — the specifics buyers want before booking a call. If yours isn't here, ask on the call.
What's your timezone overlap?
Full overlap with Eastern (Toronto/Montreal — 7am-3pm), full morning overlap with Central (Winnipeg) and Pacific (Vancouver). Daily standup at 9am ET works perfectly.
How does CAD billing work?
Wire (CAD), Wise (CAD), or Stripe Invoice (CAD). Net-15 or Net-30 terms; 50% deposit / 50% on launch. India-based supplier — your CRA reporting is straightforward; I provide invoices with the standard required fields.
Can you handle GST/HST/PST setup?
Yes — Shopify Tax for GST + HST is straightforward (auto-applied per province after threshold). PST (BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) needs manual configuration. I configure all provinces correctly and document the thresholds for your accountant.
Cross-border (Canada → US) DTC?
Yes — multi-currency Shopify Markets configuration, USD pricing for US customers, Shopify's Duty + Tax calculation at checkout (DDP), ShipStation Canada or Canada Post + cross-border carriers (Stallion, Chit Chats) for the actual delivery.

Extremely patient and extremely professional. And the result is amazing! Highly recommended!
★★★★★
Great experience overall. The cost estimation calculator works well for our B2B needs and does exactly what we discussed. It's simple to use, and the logic behind the calculations is solid. There were a couple of small tweaks needed after delivery, but the seller was quick to respond and fixed everything.
