NP SoftTech Shopify FAQ
General
What time zones does NP SoftTech work across?
We are based in India and regularly work with clients in the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and India. Overlap is planned around milestones rather than promising all-day simultaneous hours.
Who this answer is for
International brands evaluating whether an India-based Shopify team can match their communication needs.
How NP SoftTech approaches it
Worldwide delivery succeeds with async updates and scheduled reviews, not empty proximity claims.
India base
Delivery operates from India with Shopify focus.
Planned overlap
Reviews and decisions get calendar windows that work for both sides.
Async progress
Written updates keep work moving between meetings.
Urgent paths
Retainer response expectations are agreed in writing.
How communication is structured
Kickoff defines tools, update cadence and who can approve. Meetings are reserved for decisions, not status updates without decisions.
What clients should expect
Same-day replies in overlapping hours when agreed, plus clear async notes when not.
Project versus retainer
Projects use milestone reviews. Retainers define response windows for bugs and backlog items.
Common mistakes to avoid
Requiring 24/7 live chat for project work
Continuous live presence is rarely necessary when async updates are disciplined.
No decision owner in your timezone
Approvals still need a named owner even when developers are overseas.
