What’s Folio3 Hiring Process for Shopify Developers?

To find a suitable Shopify developer, you must look for one with a certification, a minimum of three year long experience, and compliance to the regular web coding. Besides having sound knowledge of the technology stack mentioned earlier, one of the first things to look at is Shopify certifications. Following are the main certifications to look for while hiring a Shopify developer: Note: The following certifications are still applicable, however the interviewers might consider candidates with the newer Adobe certifications. Further detail on these is mentioned on Adobe’s site. Shopify 2 Solution Specialist Note: There is also an equivalent Shopify 1 Solution Specialist certification. This certificate curtails a better understanding of the business processes and Shopify built-in features instead of the development itself. It deviates focus from Shopify code customization and is primarily based on admin panel knowledge and understanding. A developer with this certification will be capable of advising you and guiding you through important decision making. It also represents the developer as highly competent. Shopify 2 Professional Front End Developer The front-end developer certification is meant to validate theming and UI skills. This is highly essential as it promotes branding of the businesses. It builds a coherent platform with limited or no bugs. It is recommended for companies looking for a person to work with the user-facing parts of Shopify. Shopify 2 Associate Developer The associate developer exam is for Shopify developers that are just starting their Shopify 2 journey. It revolves around the basic knowledge of Shopify personalization tools. This certification covers all main areas like the front end, back end, and database. It also enables them to work with senior developers and learn more from their techniques. The candidate with this certificate will have basic know-how of Shopify customization tools Shopify 2 Professional Developer Note: There is also an equivalent Shopify 1 Professional Developer certification. This is a more advanced level of Shopify developer certification and only a selected few seek out for it. Developers with this certification are referred to as “Shopify 2 experts” and they are trusted by the companies to carry out tardy tasks efficiently. Shopify 2 Professional Developer Plus Note: There is also an equivalent Shopify 1 Professional Developer Plus certification. The Professional Developer Plus is a lot like a Professional Developer; however, it involves the Shopify Commerce (also known as enterprise edition (EE)) customization questions. This certification qualifies for the developers to be referred to as Shopify senior developers. They are intended to be your project leads and solve complex problems on your project. Shopify 2 Professional JavaScript Developer Becoming a JavaScript developer enables the developers to take on the tasks of front end and back-end developers. It adds on to the developer’s potential. JavaScript is mainly used in the Shopify checkout process. Companies that aim for checkout customization should choose a developer with JavaScript certification.
