Getting your Shopify store built is only half the battle. Without a properly configured email marketing system connected to your store, you’re leaving revenue on the table every single day. At By Design UK, we set up, configure, and integrate email marketing into your Shopify build so that welcome flows, abandoned cart sequences, and post-purchase automations work from day one — not as an afterthought.
We’re a UK-based software development agency positioned between a solo freelancer and a traditional agency. That means you get senior-level technical implementation, fixed and transparent pricing, and full ownership of every line of code and configuration we produce. Our Shopify services cover everything from initial store builds to full email marketing integration, so you never need to juggle multiple suppliers.
A professional email marketing setup for Shopify goes well beyond dropping in a signup form. When we configure email marketing as part of a Shopify build or as a standalone engagement, the scope typically includes:
Every element is built to work in production. We use AI-accelerated development processes to deliver faster without cutting corners, which means your automations are live and generating returns in weeks, not months.
Our Shopify builds — which include email marketing integration — range from £499 to £18,999 depending on the complexity of your store, the number of automations required, and the level of custom development involved. A focused email marketing setup added to an existing Shopify store sits at the more accessible end of that range, while a full store build with advanced segmentation, multi-channel flows, and custom integrations moves further up.
If you need ongoing management, optimisation, and deliverability monitoring after launch, our Shopify support plans start from £299 per month. This ensures your email flows stay healthy, your lists remain compliant with UK GDPR, and your revenue-per-recipient improves over time rather than stagnating after the initial setup.
Most UK businesses face the same frustrating choice: hire a freelancer and risk inconsistent availability, no documentation, and zero handover — or engage a large agency and face six-figure proposals, slow timelines, and pricing you can never quite pin down. Freelancers often configure email marketing in ways that only they understand, leaving you locked out of your own automations. Traditional agencies tend to add layers of account management that inflate costs without improving outcomes.
By Design UK was built specifically to close that gap. You get a fixed-price proposal before any work begins, a dedicated technical team rather than a rotating roster of juniors, and full source code and configuration ownership at the end of every engagement. No lock-in, no ambiguity, and no surprises on the invoice.
We don’t just build for clients — we build for ourselves. Tackly.co.uk is a live, multi-toolkit SaaS platform that we designed, developed, and continue to operate. It demonstrates our capability across full-stack development, scalable architecture, and production-grade software delivery. When we tell you your Shopify email marketing integration will be reliable and properly engineered, Tackly is the proof. You can also learn more about how we work on our about page.
Klaviyo and Omnisend are the most capable platforms for Shopify stores, offering deep native integration, advanced segmentation, and strong automation builders. Shopify Email is a viable option for simpler stores. We’ll recommend the right platform based on your catalogue size, budget, and growth plans during our initial scoping call.
Yes. Every setup we deliver includes compliant opt-in mechanisms, unsubscribe handling, and list management processes aligned with UK GDPR requirements. We also configure DNS authentication records to protect your sender reputation and maintain deliverability.
A focused email marketing integration on an existing Shopify store typically takes one to three weeks depending on the number of automations and any custom development required. When email is included as part of a full Shopify build, timelines are scoped and agreed upfront before work begins.
Absolutely. Full ownership of every automation, template, and configuration is transferred to you at project completion. We don’t retain access or hold your data hostage. If you continue with one of our support plans, we manage everything on your behalf — but the assets remain yours.
Whether you’re launching a new Shopify store or improving an existing one, our team will scope, configure, and deliver an email marketing setup that earns its keep from the start. Contact us today to discuss your requirements with a UK-based specialist — no obligation, no vague estimates, just a clear conversation about what you need and what it will cost.
