What slows teams down today.
Time-zone math gets in the way. You need overlap that's actually-overlapping, not "I'll respond tomorrow morning your time."
You want a developer who knows your country's payment ecosystem (Shopify Payments availability, currency, sales tax handling).
Communication on slow channels costs trust. Daily Loom updates + weekly demo cycle keeps the engagement honest.
What I actually ship.
- ◆ Daily overlap with Canadian timezones — typically 7am-3pm Eastern (4am-12pm Pacific). For Toronto / Montreal teams, full morning overlap.

- ◆ Wire / Wise / Stripe Invoice — multi-currency invoicing.

- ◆ Shopify Payments Canada, Shop Pay Installments Canada, Klarna Canada, Stripe Canada.

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.
