Custom Shopify App Development

Tailored Shopify applications that enhance your e-commerce store — from public App Store listings to private custom solutions.

Shopify Apps Built for Growth

Your Shopify store is unique, and off-the-shelf apps don't always fit. We build custom Shopify applications — both public apps listed on the Shopify App Store and private apps exclusive to your store — that address your specific workflows, integrations, and customer experiences.

Our apps are built using the Shopify CLI, Polaris design system, and Shopify's Admin REST API and Storefront GraphQL API. We handle OAuth authentication, webhook verification, embedded app SDK integration, and subscription billing through Shopify's Billing API. Every app follows Shopify's best practices for performance, security, and user experience.

Whether you need a public app to reach thousands of merchants or a private app to solve a specific operational challenge — inventory syncing, custom reporting, multi-store management, or a tailored checkout flow — we deliver production-ready Shopify apps that are reliable, scalable, and easy to maintain.

Our Shopify App Development Process

We follow a proven process to build Shopify apps that meet marketplace standards and delight merchants.

1. Discovery & Planning

We define the app's functionality, target audience, and business model. For public apps, we plan the App Store strategy including pricing and positioning.

2. UX & UI Design

We design the app interface using Shopify's Polaris design system, ensuring a familiar and seamless experience embedded in the Shopify admin.

3. Development & Integration

We build using Shopify CLI, implement OAuth, integrate APIs, set up webhooks, and develop the front-end with Polaris and React.

4. Testing & Compliance

We test across Shopify stores, validate webhook security, audit API usage limits, and ensure compliance with Shopify's app requirements.

5. App Store Listing & Submission

We prepare all listing materials, write the app description, capture screenshots, and manage the submission and review process.

6. Launch & Ongoing Support

Post-launch monitoring, merchant support, bug fixes, API version updates, and feature enhancements based on user feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a public and private Shopify app?

A public app is listed on the Shopify App Store and can be installed by any merchant. A private app is custom-built for a specific store and isn't listed publicly. We develop both types depending on whether you want to reach a broad market or solve a specific internal need.

How long does it take to build a Shopify app?

A private app with basic functionality typically takes 2-3 weeks. A public app ready for the Shopify App Store with full documentation, onboarding, and compliance takes 4-6 weeks. Timelines depend on feature complexity and integration requirements.

Do you handle Shopify App Store submission?

Yes, we manage the entire submission process including preparing app listings, screenshots, privacy policies, and compliance with Shopify's app review requirements. We handle rejections and resubmissions until approval.

Can you integrate with Shopify Payments and other gateways?

Yes, we integrate with Shopify Payments, Stripe, PayPal, and custom payment gateways. We handle webhook verification, refund logic, and subscription billing using Shopify's Billing API.

Do you build apps for multi-store management?

Absolutely. We build apps that manage multiple Shopify stores from a single dashboard — syncing products, inventory, orders, and customers across stores with centralized reporting.

What Shopify APIs do you use?

We use the Shopify Admin REST API, Storefront GraphQL API, Shopify CLI for app scaffolding, Polaris for UI components, Shopify Webhooks for real-time events, and the App Bridge for embedded app experiences.
