Shopify App Development Services
Launch a custom Shopify app
Have a unique feature in mind that no off-the-shelf app can provide? Our team builds custom Shopify apps to meet your exact business needs. With our Shopify app development services, we create private apps (or custom apps) that extend your store’s functionality or streamline your operations in ways that generic apps can’t. From automating a complex workflow to adding bespoke features on your storefront, we handle everything – planning, coding, testing, and deployment.
We ensure the app integrates seamlessly with your Shopify store via secure APIs and follows Shopify’s best practices for performance and security. The result is a tailor-made solution solely for you, giving your business a competitive edge without the bloat of unnecessary features.
How We Help You Launch
How We Help You Launch
Full-Cycle Development
We start by understanding your requirements and designing a solution architecture. Then our developers build the app from scratch – writing clean, scalable code with the functionality and user interface you need. We follow agile development with frequent check-ins, so you see progress and can give feedback throughout the project.Store Integration
Your custom app will work hand-in-hand with your Shopify store. We use Shopify’s API and App Bridge framework to ensure smooth integration. Whether the app is for backend tasks (like syncing data to an external system) or frontend features (like a custom product configurator), it will operate seamlessly within your Shopify environment.Secure & Scalable
We take security seriously. We implement proper authentication (OAuth for Shopify APIs), data validation, and follow secure coding practices so your app and data remain safe. Additionally, we design the app to scale – capable of handling your growth, increased traffic, or larger data volumes over time.Testing & Quality Assurance
Before launching, we rigorously test the app in a development store environment. This includes functional testing to ensure every feature works as intended, compatibility testing with your theme and other apps, and performance testing. We iterate until the app is running flawlessly.Deployment & Support
We deploy the custom app either to your store directly or host it reliably if it’s an externally running app. Our team will train you on how to use the new app and remain available for support. Should you need enhancements or encounter any issues down the line, we’re here to maintain and improve the app as your business evolves.
We’ve developed a range of custom Shopify apps for merchants and partners. For instance, we built a bundle solution for our partner Emma&Noah, which helped them increase their average order value by 62% in the first month.
Our ability to deliver such bespoke solutions has made us a go-to Shopify development partner for businesses with unique requirements. If you have an idea for improving your store or automating a task, we can turn it into a custom app that works exactly the way you want.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Shopify App Development Services
Do custom apps work with Shopify Plus?
Yes - custom apps work on all Shopify plans, though Shopify Plus offers additional API capabilities and customization options we can leverage. Plus, merchants often need more sophisticated custom apps due to their business complexity and scale. We build apps that take full advantage of whatever plan you're on while ensuring they'll scale as your business grows.What's the difference between public and private Shopify apps?
Private apps are custom-built for your specific store and business needs, installed only on your Shopify account with functionality tailored exactly to your requirements. Public apps are available in the Shopify App Store for any merchant to install, designed to solve common problems across many businesses. Private apps offer customization; public apps offer scalability and potential recurring revenue from subscriptions.Do you provide ongoing maintenance for custom apps?
Yes - we offer maintenance packages covering bug fixes, security updates, Shopify API changes, feature enhancements, and technical support. Shopify regularly updates its platform, so ongoing maintenance ensures your custom app continues working smoothly. Most clients choose annual maintenance contracts for peace of mind, though we also offer pay-as-you-go support for occasional needs.Who owns the custom app after development?
You own the app and all its code - we provide full source code documentation and transfer complete ownership upon project completion. Unlike marketplace apps, where you're essentially renting functionality, custom apps are your intellectual property. This ownership means you can modify, enhance, or have another developer maintain it in the future, though most clients continue working with us.Do you handle app design and user experience?
Yes - we design intuitive interfaces for both merchant-facing admin apps and customer-facing storefront apps. Good UX is critical for app adoption and effectiveness. We create wireframes, design mockups, and conduct usability testing to ensure your custom app is not just functional but genuinely enjoyable to use. Beautiful, intuitive apps get used; confusing apps get abandoned.
