Shopify agency for Port-au-Prince brands
Shopify stores for artisans, food makers and small brands from the Port-au-Prince area, reaching buyers abroad through partners and serving local customers where possible.
Shopify development and growth for Port-au-Prince brands
Port-au-Prince has long been the centre of Haitian commerce and creativity, with nearby Croix-des-Bouquets famous for metal artists who cut sculptures from recycled oil drums, and Pétion-Ville home to galleries, boutiques and cafés. In recent years insecurity has made daily trade, transport and delivery very hard, and many businesses have moved or reduced operations. Selling online, mainly to buyers abroad, has become a lifeline for some artisans and brands.
We work with Port-au-Prince brands remotely from India, meeting at the start of your day. Typical projects include stores that tell the story of each artist or cooperative, international sales handled through a fulfilment partner abroad, MonCash ordering for local customers and simple content updates your team can manage from a phone.
What Port-au-Prince brands need from their store
Metal art and painting
Haitian metal sculptures and paintings sell on the artist’s story and the uniqueness of each piece. We build product pages for one-of-a-kind items, with artist profiles, dimensions and careful shipping notes for large or fragile work.
Stock held abroad
To keep orders flowing when local transport is disrupted, many brands keep inventory with a partner in Miami, New York or Montreal. We connect that partner to Shopify so international orders ship quickly from there.
Managing from a phone
Power and internet can be unreliable, so we set up the store to be managed from the Shopify mobile app. Your team can add products, check orders and reply to customers without needing a computer.

Frequently asked questions
Can we sell one-of-a-kind artworks on Shopify?
Yes. Each piece becomes its own product with a quantity of one, so it disappears from the store once sold. We add artist profiles, multiple photos, dimensions and shipping notes, and can add a waiting list for similar pieces from the same artist.
What if local delivery is not possible?
We can limit local delivery to pickup points or areas you can reach safely, and switch it off quickly when conditions change. International orders continue through your partner abroad, so sales are not dependent on local roads.
Do you have an office in Port-au-Prince?
No. We are a remote team in India with no staff in Haiti. We work through video calls, WhatsApp and a shared task board, schedule calls at the start of your day and plan around any connectivity problems you face.
