VANCOUVER, B.C., October 25, 2026 — ARQS Storefront brings editable store previews, downloadable Shopify theme and product files, and examples from seven brand storefronts into the existing ARQS Design Studios family. The browser builder is free; three implementation packages are available by request before invoicing.
A store plan people can edit and take with them
The studio lets a business edit its name, introduction, currency, products and categories, then compare three visual directions: Luxury, Editorial and Local. A live preview switches between desktop and phone widths. Project backups can be exported and imported, and work remains in the current browser until the user chooses to share it.
The free store kit includes an HTML preview, a product CSV, a project backup, a Shopify theme ZIP and installation instructions. Individual theme and CSV downloads are also available. Product imports are marked as drafts. The exported theme works with Shopify’s catalog, cart and checkout after the merchant installs and configures it in their own store.

Examples from seven brand storefronts
The portfolio links directly to Ackerman.ca, the ARQS Store, Jason’s Place, Downtown Tan, AI Academy, ARQS Press and Townline Canada. These are seven storefront experiences across the brands, with some sharing Shopify commerce infrastructure. The examples show different audiences and presentations rather than claiming seven separate commerce backends.

Implementation support by request
Three one-time implementation packages are listed in U.S. dollars: Assisted Kit at US$199, Launch at US$1,499, and Scale at US$4,999. The packages cover different catalog sizes, page counts and revision rounds. Visitors can prepare an email request or download their project brief. ARQS confirms scope, timing and payment before invoicing; the page does not take automatic payment.
Shopify subscriptions, domains, paid themes, apps, inventory, advertising, photography, taxes and ongoing maintenance are separate. Larger catalogs, advanced integrations and cinematic arrivals need their own agreed scope. The builder does not create a Shopify account or publish a theme without merchant action, and it does not imply an official Shopify partnership.

Part of the existing Design Studios family
ARQS Storefront extends the browser-based planning and export approach used in ARQS Design Studios. It brings category planning, storefront previews and theme packaging together for owners who want a simple store or a larger collection organized into departments.
