dtcprophet: Claude Code instead of a Shopify dev agency
Published
How does this AI workflow work?
- Replaces: 5 to 7 business days of waiting on an agency for every store update, landing page or design tweak.
- What to connect: Claude Code on the Shopify theme plus a strong designer; design, QA and ship now takes 15 to 20 minutes. Practiced for 3 months, with more shipped than in the previous 5 years with the agency. No costs given.
- Who it's for: e-commerce brands and store owners who pay an agency for routine site changes.
