Shopify. Indigo. Browns Shoes. Three Canadian companies that work directly with SDG. From the platform’s own hardware store to national retail, we connect the customer experience with the systems that make commerce work.
These are direct engagements, each with a different brief. Together, they show how SDG works across the platform itself, a national bookseller, and a footwear retailer.
Shopify hired SDG to build its own global hardware storefront. The work brings multilingual, multi-currency commerce to the products merchants use to run their businesses, with Shopify Markets supporting international selling.

Storefront and app engineering, delivered as one commerce program.
Read the Browns Shoes case studyCanadian commerce programs bring language, store operations, fulfillment, and systems decisions into the same conversation. We design and engineer them together.
Language requirements reach beyond a translated homepage. We plan navigation, product content, search, app interfaces, checkout messaging, and customer accounts together. Indigo and Browns provide concrete examples of bilingual commerce work.
Experience designRetail customers need to know what they can buy, where they can collect it, and how it can be delivered. We connect inventory, order management, pickup, loyalty, and fulfillment rules to the storefront and checkout.
Commerce integrationsIndigo’s headless build and Browns’ custom Liquid storefront solve different operating needs. We choose the architecture around your catalog, content team, integrations, and customer journeys, including the cost of running it after launch.
Enterprise ShopifyNative platform features do not cover every retail rule. SDG builds custom Shopify applications, Functions, and checkout and account extensions, with clear ownership between the storefront, Shopify, and the systems behind them.
Shopify-connected applicationsSDG is headquartered in Los Angeles, with teams in San Francisco and New York. Our Canadian footprint is the work itself: direct relationships with Shopify, Indigo, and Browns, and experience inside the commerce programs those businesses run.
We bring senior strategy, design, and engineering to the same table. Start with a focused assessment, an application or integration challenge, or a full replatform. The scope follows what your business needs, not a predetermined stack.

SDG is headquartered in Los Angeles, with teams in San Francisco and New York. Our Canadian practice is built on direct client engagements, not a Canadian office. We work with Canadian business, ecommerce, and technology teams across discovery, implementation, and launch.
Yes. Our work for Indigo and Browns Shoes includes English and French shopping experiences. We scope localization across the storefront and relevant applications, checkout messaging, and customer accounts, rather than treating language as a homepage-only task.
Yes. Indigo is an example of our Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Shopify Enterprise migration work. Browns is an example of a custom Shopify storefront and retail application program. We select the architecture and delivery scope around the retailer’s actual requirements.
Start with the business requirements and the systems that must keep working. SDG can assess your storefront, catalog, language needs, retail operations, integrations, and internal team, then define a focused project or a complete replatform program.
A replatform that can’t slip. A catalog no one else will touch. An enterprise build that simply has to be flawless. That’s the work we live for.
