Shopify App Development

When the App Store
doesn't have
what you need.

Custom Shopify app development - private apps for internal tools and workflows, public apps if you're building for the App Store, and Shopify Functions for custom checkout, discount, and shipping logic. Built on Shopify's API and app framework, not hacky workarounds.

When You Need a Custom App

Signs the App Store won't solve it.

Your workflow is specific to your business

Generic apps solve generic problems. If your order routing, inventory sync, or fulfillment logic is unique to how you operate, no App Store app fits without heavy workarounds.

You're stacking 3 apps to do one thing

Combining a discount app, a bundle app, and a custom pricing rule app because none does exactly what you need - each adding cost, complexity, and page weight.

You need custom checkout or discount logic

Complex discount stacking rules, custom shipping logic based on order attributes, or checkout validation rules that App Store apps handle only partially.

You need to connect Shopify to internal systems

ERP, custom CRM, or warehouse management system integration that no off-the-shelf connector supports for your specific setup.

Monthly app fees add up to more than a build

Several Rs 2,000-5,000/month apps combined often cost more annually than a one-time custom build that does exactly what you need, permanently.

You want to build and sell a Shopify app

If you've identified a gap in the App Store and want to build a public app to sell to other merchants, that's a different (and bigger) build we also handle.

What We Build

Six categories of Shopify app development.

Private App Development

Custom internal tools connected to your Shopify store via the Admin API - order automation, custom reporting dashboards, and workflow tools specific to your operations.

Public App Development

Shopify Functions

Custom checkout, discount, and shipping logic built with Shopify Functions - server-side, fast, and upgrade-safe within Shopify's supported extension model.

FAQ

App development questions.

What's the difference between a private and public app?
A private app is built for a single store - yours - and installed directly without App Store review. A public app is built to be listed on the Shopify App Store and used by multiple merchants, requiring OAuth, billing API integration, and Shopify's app review process.
Do we need Shopify Plus for custom app development?
No - private apps and most custom functionality can be built on standard Shopify plans. Shopify Functions specifically require a Shopify Plus plan, since they extend checkout and discount logic that's Plus-exclusive.
Can you replace multiple paid apps with one custom build?
Often yes - if you're running 3-4 apps to achieve a combined workflow, we can usually consolidate that into fewer native features or a single private app, reducing both monthly cost and page load overhead.
Do you help with Shopify App Store submission and review?
Yes - for public app builds, we handle the technical requirements for Shopify's app review (billing API, GDPR webhooks, security requirements) and guide you through the submission process, though final approval timing depends on Shopify's review team.

Have a workflow the App Store can't solve?

Free consultation - we'll tell you honestly if a custom app is the right call, or if a simpler fix will do.
