Shopify

The Shopify App Store covers most needs, but not all of them. When you pay for several apps that half fit, copy orders into another system by hand, or need a rule that no app supports, a custom app is often the cleaner answer. I build custom apps for one store, public apps for the App Store, and integrations that connect Shopify with your stock, accounting, CRM or shipping tools, using Shopify's current APIs and extensions.

FAQs

A custom app is built for one store (or one organisation) and is not listed in the Shopify App Store. A public app can be installed by any merchant and must pass Shopify's App Store review.

I work at USD 10 to 15 an hour, or for a fixed written quote agreed before work starts. After a short call and a first look at your site, you get the scope, the price and the timeline in writing. Cost depends mostly on the systems it connects to and the screens it needs. Hosting for the app is a small running cost that I explain up front.

Try an existing app first if one does the job well at a fair price. A custom app makes sense when you combine several apps, need a rule none of them supports, or connect Shopify to your own systems.

Shopify releases a new API version every quarter and retires old ones after about a year, so every app needs small updates over time. I build on current versions and can look after updates as part of a care plan.
