NDA on Day One. Every Time.
Before we receive a brief, you get a signed NDA. No exceptions, no negotiation. Your client's identity stays yours.

What Does a White Label Shopify Agency Actually Do?
A white-label Shopify agency builds and maintains Shopify stores on behalf of another agency - invisibly. Your client brief comes in. You pass the technical work to us. We build it, QA it, and hand it back under your brand.
Your client sees your agency name on every deliverable. BrainBox never appears.
That means you can take on Shopify projects without building a Shopify development team. You stay in the client relationship. We stay out of it.
We work with digital agencies, marketing studios, web design firms, and freelance account leads who need reliable Shopify development behind them - without the overhead of hiring in-house.
This is not a subcontracting relay. We behave like an extension of your team: familiar with your workflow, your client's expectations, and the standard of work your brand depends on.
What's Included in Every White Label Engagement
These aren't upsells. They're the baseline for every agency partner - project-based or retainer.
White-Label Deliverables
Code, staging URLs, documentation, and progress reports - all delivered without BrainBox branding. Your name on everything.
48-Hour Scoping Turnaround
Send a brief and we'll return a scoped estimate within 48 business hours: timeline, deliverables, and a flat cost or hours breakdown.
Dedicated or Shared Team - Your Choice
Standard retainers use a shared team. Standard ($999/mo) and above get a dedicated developer and project manager assigned to your account.
Timezone-Aligned Communication
We schedule calls and async updates in your timezone. Slack, email, or your PM tool - whatever keeps your workflow clean.
Monthly Reporting Structured for Your Clients
White-label monthly reports showing what was built, what changed, and what's coming - formatted to go straight to your client if needed.
Who This Is For
DIGITAL AGENCIES & STUDIOS
You take on Shopify projects but don't run a Shopify team.
Your agency wins Shopify clients but you're not set up to build the store yourself. Either you don't have in-house Shopify developers, or you have them but not at the capacity or specialization this project needs. You need someone to build it right, on time, under your brand.
That's the exact gap we fill.
FREELANCERS & ACCOUNT LEADS
You manage the client. You need someone to do the technical work.
You're an independent web designer, account manager, or marketing consultant who gets asked for Shopify development you can't build yourself. You're not looking to hire. You need a technical partner you can bring in quietly and trust to deliver at your standard.
We work with freelancers the same way we work with agencies - NDA, white-label output, your client never knows.
What we're not the right fit for: One-off agencies looking for the cheapest possible execution. We're a technical partner, not a race to the bottom on price. Our agency rate is $25/hr - fair for quality Shopify development at our team's depth.

How the Partnership Works
From your first brief to a live deliverable - here's exactly how it runs.
- 01
Sign and Brief
You sign the NDA. We receive your client brief - project scope, reference links, client constraints, and your preferred delivery format. We clarify anything ambiguous before scoping, not after.
- 02
Scoped in 48 Hours
Within two business days, you get a written scope: hours breakdown, timeline, key milestones, and a flat-cost or retainer-draw estimate. No surprises added mid-project.
- 03
Build, QA, and Staging Review
Development runs in your agreed PM environment. You get staging access at each milestone - before anything goes near your client. QA covers device, browser, and functional edge cases. You sign off before launch.
- 04
White-Label Handoff and Ongoing Support
Deliverables go out under your brand. If the engagement is retainer-based, the same team picks up the next month's work without onboarding again. If it's project-based, you have a named contact for 30 days post-launch for any post-delivery issues.

We have been working with BrainBox for several months. In that time they have worked on a wide variety of tasks for us - ranging from simple CSS edits to complex data mapping - and have always impressed us with the quality of their work. Communication is always excellent and even difficult tasks are understood and executed with aplomb and efficiency. Having worked with a range of front end and back end developers over the years I have to say that BrainBox is by far the most reliable, intelligent and accurate I have experienced.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a white label Shopify development agency?
A white-label Shopify development agency builds Shopify stores and custom development work on behalf of other agencies or freelancers - without appearing in the client relationship. The work is delivered under the contracting agency's brand: no BrainBox name on deliverables, communications, or reports. The end client sees only the agency they hired.
2. How does BrainBox ensure my client never finds out about the white-label arrangement?
Every white-label engagement starts with a signed NDA before any project information is shared. BrainBox operates as a silent partner: staging environments use neutral or client-specific URLs, all documentation omits BrainBox branding, and direct communication between BrainBox and the end client never happens without the agency's explicit approval. White-label reporting is structured to match the format the agency uses with their clients.
3. What Shopify development work does BrainBox handle for agency partners?
BrainBox handles the full spectrum of Shopify development under white-label terms: theme development and customization, Shopify Plus builds, migrations from Magento, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce, custom app development, Shopify Functions, Checkout Extensions, integration work (ERPs, CRMs, payment gateways, Klaviyo), performance optimization, SEO, and ongoing maintenance. The same service catalog available to direct merchants is available to agency partners.
4. Is there a minimum commitment to work with BrainBox as an agency partner?
No long-term contract is required. The Trial retainer ($200/month) is designed specifically for agencies testing the partnership before committing to a larger plan. Project-based work can be engaged without a retainer at all - just a signed NDA and a project brief. Month-to-month plans can be paused or scaled as your pipeline changes.
5. How does BrainBox handle communication and project management with agency partners?
Communication runs through the agency's preferred tool - Slack, Asana, ClickUp, Jira, Linear, email, or whatever keeps the workflow clean. Standard and above retainer tiers include custom PM tool integration as standard. BrainBox does not create a new workflow and expect the agency to adopt it. The project manager assigned to the account operates in the agency's environment.
6. What is BrainBox's hourly rate for white-label agency work?
The agency partner rate is $25 USD per hour - fixed regardless of project type. This applies to both retainer top-up hours and standalone project billing. Direct merchant projects are billed at $30 to $35 USD per hour. The difference is a deliberate B2B pricing distinction - agency partners bring volume and ongoing relationships.
7. How quickly can BrainBox start on a new white-label project?
Standard kick-off is within 5 to 7 business days of receiving a signed brief and NDA for new partners. For active retainer partners, new project tasks are picked up within the current billing cycle without a separate onboarding step. Urgent project starts for non-retainer partners can be accommodated on a case-by-case basis - contact us directly to discuss.
8. Does BrainBox work with agencies outside India?
Yes. The majority of BrainBox's white-label partners are in the US, EU, Australia, and Canada. All contracts are in USD, communication is in English, and the team operates asynchronously across timezones with calls and updates scheduled in the partner's timezone. The technical output meets the development standards those markets require.
