Start Your Shopify Developer Store — Talk to Us First
We don’t start with forms. We start with a conversation.
A quick WhatsApp chat helps us understand what you’re building, whether a Shopify Developer Store is the right fit, and how the WAHOO BOOTCAMP model can support you — without pressure or commitments.
This is not a sales call.
It’s a clarity check before setup.
If it makes sense, we’ll guide you through:
- creating your Shopify Developer Store
- using Scope Finder to lock decisions
- building at your own pace with AI-powered support
No upfront cost. No obligation.
How a Shopify Developer Store is Different from Shopify’s 3-Day Trial?
Both options let you explore Shopify — but they are designed for very different stages of building a business. Here’s how they compare:
Shopify 3-Day Trial (Official Shopify Offer)
- Designed for quick onboarding
- Billing starts automatically after 3 days
- Discounted pricing applies for a limited period
- Best for founders who are ready to launch immediately
- Limited time for deep design, testing, or custom optimisation
Best for testing Shopify quickly — not for building a production-ready store.
Shopify Developer Store (via WAHOO BOOTCAMP)
- Designed for proper store setup and optimisation
- No billing until your store is ready to launch
- Full access to themes, apps, products, and settings
- Built using WAHOO BOOTCAMP’s Shopify developer account
Ideal for founders who want time to finalise design, test apps and workflows, prepare content, products, integrations — and launch with confidence.
This Developer Store is the foundation for everything you build on WAHOO BOOTCAMP.
The Shopify Developer Store Is Your Entry Point
When you start with a Shopify Developer Store through WAHOO BOOTCAMP, you unlock access to our entire Shopify ecosystem:
- Shopify ChatGPT Agents – Free
- Shopify Store Setup – Optional, paid execution
- Shopify Plan Finder – Free
- Shopify Stores Marketplace – Built only from Developer Stores
- Shopify Help Desk (with Sidekick Skills) – Free
Without a Shopify Developer Store, these tools and services don’t activate — because everything we offer is grounded in a real Shopify store.
In simple terms:
Shopify’s 3-day trial is for starting fast.
A Shopify Developer Store is for building it right.
As a Shopify Authorized Partner, WAHOO BOOTCAMP creates developer stores the same way professional Shopify teams do — and converts them to a paid plan only when you’re ready to go live.
Still have questions? Read our FAQ
1. What is the Shopify Developer Store through WAHOO BOOTCAMP?
A Shopify Developer Store is a real Shopify store created by an authorized partner for proper setup, testing, and optimisation.
At WAHOO BOOTCAMP, this Developer Store is the starting point and gateway to all our Shopify tools, services, and marketplace.
2. How is this different from Shopify’s 3-day free trial?
Shopify’s 3-day trial is designed for quick exploration.
A Shopify Developer Store is designed for serious store building — with no billing until you’re ready to launch and full access to themes, apps, and settings.
3. When does billing start on a Developer Store?
Billing starts only when you decide to launch your store on a paid Shopify plan, such as Basic, Grow, Advanced, or Plus.
Until then, you can build, test, and optimise without platform charges.
4. Is this an official Shopify setup?
Yes. WAHOO BOOTCAMP is a Shopify Authorized Partner, and Developer Stores are the same method Shopify experts use to build client stores.
5. Do I get full access to themes, apps, and settings?
Yes.
You get full access to Shopify themes, apps, products, settings, and integrations required to build a production-ready store.
6. Is this a workaround or loophole?
No.
This is an official Shopify developer workflow, intended for proper store development before launch. Nothing is hacked, bypassed, or unsupported.
7. Do I need to enter payment details to start?
No.
You can start with a Shopify Developer Store without needing to enter payment details. Payment is required only when you’re ready to go live.
8. Can I build my entire store before paying Shopify?
Yes.
You can complete design, content, apps, workflows, testing, and optimisation before converting to a paid Shopify plan.
9. Who is this best suited for?
- First-time founders
- Startups validating ideas
- Brands redesigning or rebuilding
- Businesses migrating to Shopify
- Founders who want time to get it right
This is a great fit if:
- You want time to build and optimise your store before paying Shopify
- You need full access to themes, apps, settings, and workflows
- You’re planning a serious launch, not just testing the dashboard
- You want a clean, scalable foundation built the way professionals do
- You prefer to launch once — and launch with confidence
10. I already have a Shopify store. Can you continue from that?
In most cases, we create a new Developer Store to ensure clean setup, performance optimisation, and compatibility with our proprietary workflows.
Your existing data can be migrated if needed.
11. Why does WAHOO BOOTCAMP create the store instead of me?
Because many of our tools and services — including AI agents, workflows, and the Stores Marketplace — require a Developer Store created via our partner account to activate correctly.
12. What do I unlock once my Developer Store is created?
Once your Shopify Developer Store is active, you unlock:
- Shopify ChatGPT Agents (Free)
- Shopify Store Setup (Optional, paid)
- Shopify Plan Finder (Free)
- Shopify Stores Marketplace access
- Shopify Help Desk with Sidekick Skills (Free)
All of this starts with the Developer Store.
13. Do I get help during the setup phase?
Yes.
You can choose to build independently using our free tools, or opt for Shopify Store Setup if you want hands-on execution and support.
14. Does this work for international businesses?
Yes.
We work with brands across the globe. Shopify Developer Stores are not limited by geography.
15. Is this free forever?
The Developer Store itself is free until launch.
Free tools remain accessible through your Developer Store.
Paid services (like Shopify Store Setup) are optional and clearly priced.
