Our Shopify App Development Services

Custom App Development

We build public, custom, and private Shopify apps tailored to your business logic and data models — from ERP integrations to multi-store sync.

Shopify Admin Extensions

Create intuitive admin tools, bulk actions, or custom panels to simplify store operations and improve backend workflows.

Embedded App Experiences

Using App Bridge and Polaris, we build apps that integrate natively into the Shopify admin UI for seamless user experience.

Storefront App Integrations

Enhance storefront functionality with apps that display dynamic content, product bundles, subscriptions, or customer personalization features.

Mobile App Builders & PWA

From mobile-first responsive designs to building iOS/Android apps using frameworks like React Native or Flutter, we turn your Shopify store into an app-like experience.

Headless App Architecture

We develop headless Shopify apps using GraphQL Admin API, REST API, and Hydrogen/Next.js for blazing-fast performance and flexibility.

Authentication & Billing APIs

Secure your apps with OAuth 2.0, implement Shopify Billing APIs for subscriptions or charges, and integrate with third-party payment systems.

Ongoing Maintenance & Support

We offer post-launch support, version upgrades, and Shopify App Store compliance monitoring to keep your app secure and up-to-date.

How can I track performance during Black Friday and Christmas?2025-10-09T08:25:50+00:00

Integrate Google Analytics 4, Meta Pixel, and Shopify’s native analytics dashboard. Use real-time reports to monitor conversion rates, abandoned carts, and top-performing products. Shopify Plus merchants can also use custom BI dashboards via API integrations.

Can I offer personalized product recommendations during holiday campaigns?2025-10-09T08:28:04+00:00

Yes. Use Shopify Flow + Shopify Functions to create custom logic that recommends products based on user history. For AI-driven personalization, integrate Shopify’s Search & Discovery or apps like LimeSpot and Rebuy Personalization Engine.

What’s the difference between a public, custom, and private Shopify app?2025-07-31T04:47:27+00:00

  • Public apps are listed in the Shopify App Store and used by many merchants.
  • Custom apps are built for a single merchant without an App Store listing.
  • Private apps are older versions built for one store but are being deprecated in favor of custom apps.
Do you build apps for Shopify Plus or headless setups?2025-07-31T04:47:51+00:00

Absolutely. We specialize in Shopify Plus and headless commerce using Hydrogen, Next.js, and API-first strategies.

What technologies do you use?2025-07-31T04:48:16+00:00

We use Shopify CLI, Node.js, React, Remix, Express, GraphQL, Polaris, App Bridge, and integrate with external systems as needed.

Can you help with App Store submission and approval?2025-07-31T04:50:39+00:00

Definitely. We assist with UI/UX, legal compliance, branding, and submission to ensure your app is approved quickly.

How can I handle high traffic without store downtime?2025-10-09T08:24:26+00:00

Ensure your store uses a CDN, compressed images, and lazy loading for media. Shopify Plus merchants can rely on 99.99% uptime with global edge servers. If you’re on standard Shopify, check your app load times and remove unused scripts before the sale season.

What checkout optimizations should I make for Black Friday & Christmas?2025-10-09T08:29:14+00:00

  • Enable Shopify Pay / Shop Pay for faster checkout.

  • Include a custom thank-you redirect to encourage social sharing or coupon reuse.
How can I reduce cart abandonment during holiday sales?2025-10-09T08:30:08+00:00

  • Offer free shipping or set thresholds.
  • Use exit-intent popups with last-minute discounts.
  • Send automated cart recovery emails/SMS.
  • Optimize mobile experience — most Black Friday shoppers browse on mobile.
Can I monetize my Shopify app?2025-07-31T04:49:09+00:00

Yes, we integrate Shopify Billing APIs to enable one-time, recurring, or usage-based charges. We also help with App Store listing and monetization strategy.

How long does it take to build a Shopify app?2025-07-31T04:49:47+00:00

It depends on the complexity. Simple apps can be built in 2–3 weeks, while feature-rich apps may take 4–8 weeks or more. We provide a timeline after initial scoping.

Will I own the app code?2025-07-31T04:50:12+00:00

Yes. You’ll receive full ownership of the codebase, along with deployment access and documentation.
