Shopify agency for Colombo brands
Shopify stores for Colombo’s fashion, tea, gem and wellness brands, selling island-wide and to Sri Lankans and collectors around the world.
Shopify development and growth for Colombo brands
Colombo is Sri Lanka’s commercial capital and home to one of South Asia’s busiest transhipment ports. It hosts the Colombo Tea Auction, a long-running gem and jewellery trade and the head offices of the apparel exporters that make clothes for global brands. A new generation of local fashion, wellness and homeware labels has grown out of that expertise, selling online to the city’s shoppers and to Sri Lankans abroad.
We work with Colombo brands remotely, but in the same time zone, so calls can be arranged at any time during your day. Typical projects include fashion stores with instalments and cash on delivery, export storefronts for tea and spices, gem and jewellery stores with certificates and diaspora gifting stores.
What Colombo brands need from their store
Fashion labels from apparel expertise
Many Colombo labels are founded by people from the export garment industry. We build stores with size guides, fabric details and new-collection drops, plus Koko and Mintpay messaging that helps on higher-priced pieces.
Tea, spices and wellness
Tea estates, spice brands and Ayurvedic wellness companies sell to tourists and buyers abroad. We create export storefronts with foreign currency pricing, gift sets and product pages that explain origin and use.
Gems and fine jewellery
Sapphires and other gems need certificates, exact weights and close-up images. We build product pages with certificate downloads, detailed specifications and secure, insured shipping options for international buyers and collectors.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Colombo?
No. Our team works remotely from India, in the same time zone as Colombo. We use video calls, a shared project board and messaging during your working day, so the experience is close to working with a local team.
Can Sri Lankans abroad order gifts for family in Colombo?
Yes. We set up foreign currency pricing, international cards through your gateway, gift messages and delivery date selection, so diaspora customers can order cakes, flowers or hampers for delivery to relatives in Colombo and elsewhere.
Can you show gem certificates on product pages?
Yes. We store certificate files and details such as weight, cut and treatment in metafields, display them on each product page and include them in order emails, so buyers have everything they need to trust the purchase.
