Hire a Remote Shopify Virtual Assistant
A full-time, dedicated Shopify VA who owns product uploads, inventory, order processing, and day-to-day app management across Gorgias, Klaviyo, ReviewsIO, and the rest of your stack. Managed by Teckas, from $1,200 per month.
What a Shopify Virtual Assistant Does
A Shopify virtual assistant is a remote ecommerce operator who lives inside your Shopify admin every day, handling the work that keeps a DTC store running but does not need a founder or head of ops. Product uploads, variant cleanup, inventory reconciliation, order processing, discount setup, collection curation, theme content edits, app configuration, and the small fire drills that pop up every week. Without this person, founders end up inside Shopify for 20 hours a week. With them, founders get that time back.
Teckas places Shopify VAs who are already fluent in the admin, already know how Shopify variants behave, and already know that editing a metafield on a live theme is not the same as editing a product description. You get a professional operator, not a generic assistant.
Core Workflows Your Shopify VA Owns
- Product uploads, variant configuration, and metafield setup
- Bulk editing SKUs, pricing, tags, and inventory with Matrixify or Shopify bulk editor
- Collection curation, including smart and manual collections
- Inventory adjustments, transfers, and reconciliation across locations
- Order processing, fulfillment, tracking, and address change handling
- Refunds, cancellations, and partial fulfillments
- Discount, gift card, and promo code setup for launches and flash sales
- Theme content edits inside the customizer, including sections and blocks
- Navigation, menu, and footer updates
- App configuration across Gorgias, Klaviyo, Recharge, Loop, ReviewsIO, and Yotpo
- Weekly store health checks: 404s, missing images, out-of-stock hidden products

Cost: Local Shopify Ops vs Teckas
US-based ecommerce ops coordinators earn $45,000 to $62,000 per year per Indeed and Glassdoor listings, which is roughly $3,800 to $5,200 per month before payroll tax and benefits. A Teckas Shopify VA delivers the same daily output at a fraction of the fully loaded cost.
