Shopify Custom App Development Services

Shopify's app marketplace has thousands of applications designed to solve problems of every level of complexity. These exist because a tool like Shopify, which literally powers millions of online stores, cannot be everything to everyone out of the box. Sometimes a unique business need can only be solved by developing a custom Shopify application.

What Does Custom Shopify App Development Include?

Our custom Shopify app development process has four steps.

Step 1. Project Analysis

Reach out to us through our contact form to share what you'd like to accomplish. We'll schedule a time to talk with you about your current situation and your desired future state. We'll develop a proposal for the custom Shopify app development.

Step 2. App Development

Our developers will develop a custom application for your Shopify store that complies with your requirements.

Step 3. Testing

We thoroughly test in our local sandbox environments and in development stores before installing the custom Shopify application in your live store environment.

Step 4. Deployment

We install the application on your live store and do a further round of testing.

With over a decade and a half of custom web development experience, we know how to code and develop a project responsibly, and a custom Shopify application is no different. We keep the app's source code in a repository so that all updates and changes are tracked and can be easily corrected if needed.

Why Your Store Needs a Custom Shopify App

Shopify is a great tool for e-commerce, but many common pain points may affect you based on the products you sell or how you run your business. You may need to save time and reduce operational friction by having a more automated way to update products and inventory or automating any task that would otherwise require Excel spreadsheets.

We can help streamline operations through custom Shopify app development. We have experience integrating systems and working with APIs that allow applications to easily talk with one another, saving time and money.

Custom Shopify Apps vs Ready-Made Shopify Apps

There are existing Shopify apps that solve nearly any problem imaginable, but like any app or plugin marketplace, you should be aware of who is coding the application, what the support level is (and if there might be language barriers or large time-zone differences involved), and what the ongoing costs are if there is a subscription model in place.

Building a custom app means the app is tailored exactly for your business needs. You're not trying to shoehorn a general solution into your unique situation.

Sometimes an existing app can solve your problem out of the box, or with minor modifications. We're happy to consult with you to determine if an existing app or a custom Shopify application makes sense for your situation.
