Shopify app development
Custom apps for your own store and public apps for the Shopify App Store — built on Shopify's React Router 7 template with Polaris, Functions and extensions.
Quick answer
A custom Shopify app adds features your store needs that no off-the-shelf app does well — or connects Shopify to your own systems. It is installed only on your store, built on Shopify's APIs, and can add admin screens, checkout and theme extensions, Shopify Functions and background jobs. Public apps work the same way but are listed on the Shopify App Store for any merchant to install.
What we build
From a single private app for one store to a public app with billing and thousands of installs.

Features, data model, extensions and price in writing, before any code.
Weekly dev-store demos
Each sprint installs on a development store, so you test real features as they land.
30 days of fixes

Straight answers
The things brands actually ask us before a build — answered properly, including the times the answer is that you do not need us.
It depends on what the app does. A focused custom app for one store costs far less than a public app with billing, onboarding and extensions. After a short call we send a fixed, itemised quote, so the full cost is clear before we start.
Use an existing app when it does the job well — it is cheaper and maintained for you. Build a custom app when apps are close but not right, when you are paying for several apps to do one job, or when you need to connect Shopify to your own systems.
Shopify's React Router 7 app template with TypeScript, the GraphQL Admin API, Polaris and App Bridge, plus Shopify Functions and extensions where they fit. Apps are hosted on infrastructure you own, such as Fly.io, Render or your cloud account.
Yes. We build to Shopify's app requirements from day one — performance, privacy webhooks, billing and onboarding — and prepare the listing and review submission with you.
You do. Once the project is paid in full, ownership of the custom code we write for you passes to you, and the repository and hosting stay in your accounts.
Yes. Shopify releases a new API version every quarter, so apps need regular upgrades. Maintenance plans cover API upgrades, monitoring, fixes and new features.

Guides
Practical answers to the questions we hear most, from the team that builds these stores.
All insightsThe Shopify App Store covers most needs, but monthly fees, overlapping apps and missing features add up. Here is how to decide between a public app, a custom app, Shopify Functions or a theme change — and what each costs to run.
Shopify now recommends React Router for apps. The codemod handles most of it — the work is in Polaris Web Components and the APIs that quietly went away.
Subscriptions turn one-off buyers into predictable recurring revenue. Here is how subscriptions work on Shopify, how to choose between Shopify's own app and specialist apps, and how to design offers customers actually keep.
