Shopify Freelancer
for Berlin
– 100% Remote
Looking for a Shopify freelancer in Berlin? I manage Shopify projects for businesses in Berlin and across Germany – 100% remote, personal, and direct. From the startup scene in Kreuzberg to e-commerce companies in Mitte.
Why a local agency in Berlin isn't always the best choice
High agency prices in Berlin
Berlin agencies have high office rents and large teams – you pay for that overhead. A freelancer delivers the same quality without the agency overhead.
Long wait times at local agencies
Many Berlin agencies are fully booked with weeks-long waiting times. With me, you can start within days.
No dedicated contact person
At agencies, project managers change frequently. With me, you always have the same contact person – from start to finish.
Non-transparent hourly rates
Many agencies bill multiple people internally without making that transparent. With me, you know exactly what you're paying for.
Location dependency
Why limit yourself to a Berlin provider when you can find the best expert for your project remotely?
No Shopify specialization
Many Berlin digital agencies offer everything – WordPress, Shopware, Magento. I specialize exclusively in Shopify and know the platform inside and out.
Remote service for Berlin: The advantages
Not a location disadvantage, but a clear advantage – for you and your Shopify project.
Get in touchNo Berlin agency prices
You benefit from fair freelancer rates without the typical Berlin agency markup for office, team, and overhead.
Faster implementation
No internal coordination loops like at an agency. I implement directly – fast, efficient, and personal.
Flexible availability
I'm reachable via Slack, Zoom, or phone – no matter where in Berlin you're based, whether in Mitte, Kreuzberg, or Prenzlauer Berg.
100% Shopify focus
No buffet of services. I work exclusively with Shopify – making me more efficient and experienced than any generalist agency.
Local agency in Berlin vs. remote freelancer
Local agency in Berlin
High hourly rates (120-200 EUR/h)
Berlin agencies factor office rent, large teams, and admin costs into their prices.
Changing contact persons
Today the project manager, tomorrow the junior developer – you explain your project over and over.
Slow response times
Internal approval processes and ticket systems delay even small changes.
Generalist, not specialist
Most agencies cover many platforms – Shopify is just one of many.
Remote freelancer (Maik Gossen)
Fair freelancer rates
No agency overhead. You pay for results, not Berlin office rent.
Always the same contact
From initial consultation to go-live and beyond – I know your project inside and out.
Fast response
No ticket queues. I typically respond within a few hours.
100% Shopify specialist
I work exclusively with Shopify – for over 5 years, with 15+ successfully completed projects.
Why remote is better than on-site
Shopify is a cloud platform
Everything runs online – development, customizations, and administration. An on-site meeting offers no technical advantage for Shopify.
Zoom meetings are more efficient
No commute, no small talk – we get straight to the point. Screen sharing makes coordination even more precise than an in-person meeting.
Documentation instead of hallway chats
With remote work, everything is documented in writing. That means fewer misunderstandings and clear traceability.
More focus time for your project
No commute, no office distractions. The saved time goes directly into your Shopify project.
