We handle custom Shopify 2.0 theme development, full Online Store 2.0 builds, and 1.0 to 2.0 migrations for brands that need the right foundation.

What Shopify Online Store 2.0 Actually Gives You

Most stores are still on 1.0 themes. Here is what the upgrade to Shopify Online Store 2.0 opens up and what it actually delivers.

Sections on Every Page

Not just the homepage. Product, collection, blog, and custom pages all get drag-and-drop sections. Your team builds and updates page layouts without touching code.

Real result: Marketing teams cut campaign page setup time by 60% once sections work on every page.

Metafields & Metaobjects

Store custom content at the product, collection, and page level. Size guides, badges, specs, and ingredients, structured in Shopify, surfaced anywhere, without theme hacks.

Real result: Clients eliminate an average of 3 third-party apps once metafields replace manual content workarounds.

App Blocks, No Script Injections

Apps install cleanly as native App Blocks through the theme editor. No injected scripts, no broken layouts, no conflicts when themes or apps update.

Real result: Clean App Block installs reduce store load time by up to 40% vs legacy script injection methods.

Team-Controlled Page Layouts

Your marketing team updates content, swaps sections, and launches landing pages from the editor without calling a developer. That is the point of 2.0.

Real result: Teams go from needing developer support for every page change to launching campaigns in under an hour.

Cleaner Code, Faster Pages

2.0 themes run on JSON templates and structured Liquid sections. Less code, better architecture, faster rendering. The performance gap vs 1.0 is measurable from day one.

Real result: Clients see an average 34% improvement in Core Web Vitals scores after rebuilding on 2.0 architecture.

JSON Templates

Every page type gets its own flexible, editor-driven template. Different product pages for different collections. Targeted landing pages. All managed from the Shopify editor.

Real result: Brands using JSON templates launch new page variants 5x faster than on fixed 1.0 theme templates.

We build Shopify 2.0 stores from scratch with clean JSON templates, reusable sections, structured metafields, and native App Blocks. Scoped to your catalog and team so you can manage it from day one.

We migrate your store from a legacy 1.0 theme to Shopify 2.0 without touching your live store. Sections rebuilt, content moved to metafields, apps reconnected as App Blocks, go-live in a single planned cutover.

We build reusable sections and blocks your team configures across any page from the theme editor. Product callouts, testimonial grids, campaign banners — built to spec, no developer needed to update them.

We design and implement structured metafields across products, collections, and pages. Size guides, specs, badges, and ingredients stored properly in Shopify and surfaced on the front end, no third-party apps required.

We build a section library your marketing team uses to launch landing pages on demand. New campaigns built in hours, not weeks. No developer required for every promotion your team runs.

We audit your app stack, remove legacy script injections, and reinstall apps as native App Blocks. Faster store, cleaner code, no breakages when apps or theme files update.

We build distinct templates for your highest-traffic pages: product, collection, and campaign landing pages, each structured around how your buyers actually behave. Tested for conversion before go-live.

We audit your theme for bloat, unused scripts, and render-blocking assets. We target 90+ Lighthouse scores and strong Core Web Vitals across every device and connection speed.

Monthly retainers covering new section builds, app updates, metafield extensions, and performance monitoring. Direct access to the developers who built your store, not a support queue.

Why Brands Choose Ecomm Wizards as
Their
Shopify 2.0 Development Agency

We have built 200+ Shopify stores and helped clients generate over $900M in revenue. Here is what makes us
the right Shopify 2.0 development agency for brands that need the upgrade done right:

Certified Shopify Partner

Accredited Shopify Partner with direct platform access and early feature visibility. You work with a team that knows Shopify 2.0 from the inside, not one learning it on your project.

2.0-First Build Approach

Every project uses native Shopify 2.0 architecture from the first line of code. No retrofitting old themes, no half-migrated sections, and no technical debt built in from day one.

Team Enablement as Standard

Every 2.0 project ends with a store your marketing team controls. Sections, blocks, and metafields configured so your team launches pages without calling a developer.

Zero Live Store Impact

All development happens in a separate theme environment. Your live store runs without interruption until the new 2.0 theme is tested and ready. Your customers never see a half-built store.

App Bloat Audit Included

Every project includes an audit of your current app stack. Legacy script injections are replaced with native App Blocks wherever possible. Fewer apps, cleaner code, faster store.

90-Day Post-Launch Window

Every project includes a 90-day post-launch window. We monitor your store, fix anything that surfaces, and keep building as live traffic grows. You are not on your own after go-live.

Every Shopify 2.0 project passes full QA before a single customer sees it. Built to 2.0 standards, scoped for your team, and supported after go-live.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Shopify Online Store 2.0 is Shopify's current theme framework, introduced in 2021. It brought sections on every page type, JSON templates, native App Blocks for cleaner integrations, and a structured metafields system. Stores built on 2.0 are faster, easier for marketing teams to manage, and built on architecture that Shopify actively develops and supports.

  • No. Many stores migrate from 1.0 to 2.0 keeping their existing design intact. We rebuild the theme architecture in the background, converting templates to JSON, setting up sections and blocks, and reconnecting apps. Your store looks the same to customers throughout the process. A redesign is optional, not required.

  • No. All Shopify 2.0 development happens in a separate theme environment. Your live store runs normally throughout the entire process. We only publish the new theme once everything is tested, approved, and ready.

  • Most migrations take 2 to 4 weeks depending on theme complexity, number of templates, custom features, and app stack. A straightforward upgrade on a standard theme takes less time than a complex build with multiple custom page types and integrations. We give you a fixed timeline before we start.

  • Most modern apps support Shopify 2.0 and can be reinstalled as native App Blocks. For apps that do not support App Blocks yet, we test compatibility and either find a 2.0-compatible alternative or ensure they install without legacy script conflicts that slow your store down.

  • Yes. Shopify 2.0 themes run on a cleaner codebase with lighter templates and more efficient rendering. Fewer script injections, better-structured assets, and App Blocks instead of injected code all contribute to faster load times and better Core Web Vitals, which directly supports search rankings.

  • Cost depends on scope. A targeted Shopify 1.0 to 2.0 migration starts from £3,000. A full Shopify 2.0 store build with custom sections, metafield architecture, and App Block integrations starts from £8,000. We work on fixed-price quotes. Send us your requirements and we return a detailed estimate within 24 hours.

  • Shopify 2.0 refers to the theme framework, the architecture your storefront is built on. Shopify Plus is a subscription tier that enables enterprise features like checkout customisation, Shopify Flow, B2B commerce, and higher API limits. You can run a Shopify 2.0 theme on any Shopify plan, including standard Shopify and Shopify Plus.

  • Yes, in every meaningful way. Shopify 2.0 gives you sections on every page type, not just the homepage. JSON templates make page structures faster and more flexible. Metafields give direct control over product and page content without custom code. App Blocks replace legacy script injections that slowed 1.0 stores down. Shopify no longer develops or supports 1.0 architecture.

  • Shopify 2.0 theme development means building your storefront on Shopify's current Online Store 2.0 framework: JSON templates on every page type, drag-and-drop sections your marketing team controls, structured metafields for product content, and native App Blocks instead of legacy script injections. We handle new builds from scratch and migration rebuilds for stores moving off 1.0 themes.
