How we can help

New Shopify builds

We design and build new Shopify stores for NZ businesses — structured for conversion, straightforward for your team to run, and set up properly for NZ tax and shipping.

Whether you're starting from a blank slate or replacing a DIY setup that's holding you back, you get the same attention we put into our own stores.

Migrations to Shopify

We move established stores from WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, and legacy platforms onto Shopify with SEO, customer data, and order history handled properly — not glossed over.

Redirects, GST, carriers, and the unglamorous details that trip up rushed migrations are where we spend our time.

Fixes & custom work

Theme issues, app conflicts, checkout quirks, and one-off features — we troubleshoot and extend Shopify stores when templates and apps stop fitting how you actually trade.

Shipping rules, integrations, and edge cases that quietly cost sales are the sort of work we take on in-house.

Why Christchurch businesses choose Dori Media.

We run e-commerce ourselves.

Dori Media operates Jimny Rentals NZ — including its Shopify store, shop.jimny.co.nz. We build stores knowing exactly what matters when revenue's on the line.

We solve the hard parts.

Custom shipping logic, complex inventory rules, multi-currency, app conflicts, broken redirects. The technical work most agencies subcontract or quietly avoid, we do in-house.

We're here, not in Auckland or Sydney.

Christchurch-based. Available for in-person meetings. Working in your timezone, understanding your market.

We stay on the hook.

As your Shopify Partner of record, we're invested in the lifetime of your store — not just until the invoice clears. Working together is the start of the relationship, not the end of it.

Recent Shopify work.

A few of the stores we've built or rebuilt for NZ businesses.

Stacked shipping boxes in a warehouse — representing carrier and fulfilment logic

Great Range Products

Problem
A growing Shopify store needed carrier-calculated shipping logic that no off-the-shelf app could deliver — multiple weight tiers, regional rates across NZ, oversized item rules, and accurate quotes at checkout.
Solution
We built a custom Shopify carrier-calculated shipping integration that handles every rule the standard apps couldn't, working directly with their carriers' rate tables.
Outcome
Accurate shipping quotes at checkout. Reduced support load from incorrect shipping charges. Fewer abandoned carts at the shipping step.

Tools: Shopify, Shopify Carrier Service API, custom Laravel middleware

Four-wheel-drive vehicle on a scenic track — representing the Jimny Rentals retail brand

Jimny Rentals NZ Shop (shop.jimny.co.nz)

Problem
An outdated Shopify store running off-brand visuals, with legacy "closing down" messaging still showing months later, and no clear path connecting the merch store back to the main rental brand.
Solution
Full visual rebuild aligned to Jimny Rentals' brand identity. Custom "How it Works" section. Removed legacy content. Integrated with the wider Jimny Rentals ecosystem so customers move smoothly between rental and merch.
Outcome
A store that finally looks and feels like part of the brand. Ready to sell merchandise to Jimny's existing customer base.

Tools: Shopify, Liquid, custom theme work

Adam — Dori Media

About Adam

Hi, I'm Adam.

I'm Adam — Christchurch born and raised, running Dori Media since 2010.

Over the past 16 years I've built websites and Shopify stores for everyone from Fonterra and other large NZ brands down to local Canterbury businesses just getting started. Same care either way.

I've built and sold Shopify stores over the years, and I run shop.jimny.co.nz for my own business Jimny Rentals NZ. So when I'm working on your store, I'm building it the way I'd build my own.

If you're a Christchurch business owner who wants to do Shopify properly — no agency fluff, no offshored dev work, no surprises — let's talk. Wherever you are in Canterbury, I'm happy to come and have a coffee.
