What white label Shopify development means with us
You sell the project and own the client relationship. We design and build the store, or only the part you need, and deliver it as your work. No Tanomedia credit in the code, the footer or the metadata, no emails to your client unless you ask for them, and no attempt to win your client later.
Most white label Shopify offers come from large offshore teams that compete on hourly rates. We do not. We are a small senior studio in the EU, and our edge is Hydrogen depth, clean code that your own developers can maintain, and the languages of two markets many agencies want to sell into: Germany and Portugal.

What we build under your brand
Shopify Hydrogen storefronts
Custom headless storefronts with Hydrogen and the Storefront API, deployed on Shopify's Oxygen hosting or your own setup.
Shopify theme builds
Custom Online Store 2.0 themes and sections when a theme is the better choice than headless, which it often is.
Migrations to Shopify
Products, customers, orders and redirects from WooCommerce or other platforms, planned so rankings survive the move.
Multilingual and multi-market stores
German, Portuguese and English stores with Shopify Markets, written and checked by native speakers instead of machine output.
Feasibility checks
Is Hydrogen worth it for this client? You get a clear yes or no with reasons before you put it in a proposal.
Care after launch
Updates, fixes and small features under your name, so your client keeps one point of contact: you.

Why agencies choose an EU-based white label partner
- Contract under EU law with a company registered in Portugal. B2B invoices within the EU follow the normal reverse charge rules, no surprises with foreign tax.
- GDPR from the start: if we touch your client's personal data, for example customer exports during a migration, we sign a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR.
- NDA before the brief and a written promise that we will not approach your clients.
- Native German and Portuguese, fluent English: we can read your client's German brief, write Portuguese product copy, or join a call as part of your team if you want us to.
- Overlapping working hours with the rest of Europe, so questions get answered on the same day.
- Senior people only: the developers you brief are the developers who build.

How a white label project runs
- 01
Intro call and NDA
You tell us about your agency and the type of work you sell. We sign the NDA before you share client details.
- 02
Brief and feasibility
You send the brief and designs, or we design to your guidelines. We tell you honestly whether Hydrogen or a theme fits the client better.
- 03
Fixed quote
You get a fixed price and timeline per project, so you can set your own margin with confidence.
- 04
Build in your environment
We work in your Shopify Partner or collaborator access, your repository and your project tool. Staging previews are ready for you to present as your own.
- 05
Handover or ongoing care
You get documentation your team can work with. If you want, we stay on for care and new features, still under your name.

Hydrogen or a theme: what we usually recommend
Hydrogen is powerful, but not every client needs headless. Our longer comparison is in the guide Shopify Hydrogen vs a theme.
| Situation | Our usual recommendation |
|---|---|
| Standard catalogue, small team, tight budget | A well-built Shopify theme |
| Strong brand, editorial content and custom interactions | Hydrogen storefront |
| Content from a separate CMS or several data sources | Hydrogen storefront |
| Client wants to edit everything in the Shopify theme editor | Shopify theme |
| Speed problems caused by too many apps | First an audit, often a theme clean-up is enough |

Proof: a Hydrogen store we can show
White label work stays invisible by definition, so we cannot show it. What we can show is our own Hydrogen work: the Drop Bike store for a premium bicycle dealer in Lisbon, a custom Hydrogen frontend with Shopify handling products, stock, payments and checkout. More about how we build these stores is on our Shopify Hydrogen service page.

Pricing
Every project gets a fixed quote after a short call, based on scope, not on hours. On the market you will find offshore white label Shopify offers from around 25 US dollars an hour; we do not compete on that price. We compete on fewer revisions, code your team can maintain, and a partner your client could meet without you having to explain anything.

FAQ
Common questions
01What is white label Shopify development?
An agency sells a Shopify project under its own name and a partner builds it. The client deals only with the agency; the partner stays invisible and is bound by an NDA.
02Will my client know that Tanomedia built the store?
No. We leave no credit in the code, footer or metadata, work in your accounts and tools, and only talk to your client if you ask us to.
03Do you sign an NDA and a data processing agreement?
Yes. We sign an NDA before the first brief, and a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR whenever we handle your client's personal data, for example during a migration.
04Do you only do Hydrogen, or also Shopify themes?
Both. Hydrogen is our speciality, but we recommend a theme when it serves the client better, and we build those too.
05Who hosts a Hydrogen storefront?
Usually Shopify itself, on its Oxygen hosting for Hydrogen. Other hosting is possible if the project needs it; we explain the trade-offs before you quote.
06How do you price white label work?
With a fixed quote per project after a short call, so you know your cost before you send your own proposal. We do not publish a rate card.
