    About me

    I’m Jere Merivirta, a Shopify developer from Finland, 100% focused on Shopify. I have over 17 years of experience in online stores and digital business development, and I have run online stores myself. So I look at every solution through a merchant’s eyes: what it adds to sales and what needless work it removes.

    Every day I help merchants grow their Shopify stores, remotely and across borders. I build my own Merivirta apps for the Shopify App Store, turn clients’ ideas into public apps, and make custom apps for demanding needs, for example accounting, logistics, inventory, B2B orders, product feeds, translations and VAT. Anything that automates needless work and makes the day run smoother.
