Archer Cooper

Archer Cooper is a Shopify Partner and micro-agency based in Manchester, working exclusively with Shopify since 2015. Every project runs through one person—no account managers, no project coordinators—covering Shopify and Shopify Plus development, site migrations, and the ongoing support that keeps a store running once it launches.

The work covers custom theme development, API and systems integrations, backend and frontend builds, and performance optimization built in from day one rather than bolted on afterward. Migrations include platform assessment, complete data transfer with integrity checks, and carefully planned SEO and redirects, alongside integrations and automations with third-party platforms. Strategic advice on Shopify apps, e-commerce best practices, and UX rounds out the service, along with emergency support when something breaks.

Examples include three built versions of the 4TH ARQ store, a migration of a Welsh jewellery brand's outlet site onto Shopify, ongoing support for a Manchester-based art and craft supplies retailer, and an expansion of O My Bag's Shopify store to add a B2B offering. Tech stack, feature design, and integration choices are made with future scalability in mind, reflecting a working style built around long-term, hands-on involvement rather than handoffs between teams.
