Custom Shopify App Development

We build custom Shopify apps for ops-heavy brands that need cleaner workflows, better reporting, and reliable system-to-system integration. When the off-the-shelf apps stop fitting, we build the one that does.

// What we build

Apps that solve real operational problems.

Not another plugin bolted onto your store. Purpose-built software that fits how your business actually runs, then keeps running when volume climbs.

01

Sync tools

Keep Shopify in step with the systems you already run. Inventory, orders and customer data moving both ways, automatically, instead of by spreadsheet.

02

Operational dashboards

The numbers your team actually needs, in one place. Live reporting built around how your business runs, not a generic analytics tab.

03

System integrations

Shopify talking to your ERP, 3PL, accounting and fulfilment. Reliable, monitored connections instead of brittle one-off scripts.

04

Bespoke storefront features

Storefront behaviour no off-the-shelf app covers. Custom bundles, pricing logic, gated access, whatever your catalogue actually demands.

05

Internal tools

The admin tool your ops team wishes existed. Purpose-built workflows that replace the manual work eating your week.

06

Reporting and automation

Reports that generate themselves and tasks that run without a human clicking. Less busywork, fewer errors, more time back.

// How we work

Scope. Build. Integrate. Ship.

  1. 01 Scope

    Map it before we build it

    We map the workflow, the systems and the edge cases before a line of code. You get a clear plan for what gets built and why.

  2. 02 Build

    A proper app, not a patch

    Built as real software, not a hacked theme. Clean code, version control, and an approach a second engineer can pick up later.

  3. 03 Integrate

    Wired into your systems

    Connected to your live systems and tested against real data, with monitoring so you know the moment something needs attention.

  4. 04 Ship

    Deployed and handed over

    Documented and shipped. You own the code, and we stay close through the first stretch of real-world use.

// Who this is for

When off-the-shelf stops fitting.

Enterprise stores

Real volume, wrong tools

You are on Shopify Plus with real volume, and the off-the-shelf apps have started to fight your workflow instead of serving it.

Ops-heavy teams

Running on manual steps

Your team runs on copy-paste and spreadsheets. The process works, barely, and it does not scale with you.

Outgrowing plugins

Five apps faking one feature

You have stacked apps to imitate one capability, and they conflict, slow the store, and still do not quite do the job.

// Straight answers

Before you brief a build.

When do I need a custom app instead of one from the App Store?

When the off-the-shelf apps do not quite fit, conflict with each other, or you are paying monthly for something that half-solves the problem. If you are weighing it up, our build vs buy guide walks through the decision.

Do you build private apps or public App Store apps?

Mostly private apps built for one store and one workflow. If you want to publish to the Shopify App Store, we can build for that too, with the review requirements in mind from day one.

Can you integrate Shopify with our other systems?

Yes. ERP, 3PL, accounting, CRM and custom internal tools. If it has an API or a sane export, we can usually connect it and keep the data in sync both ways.

Who owns the code when it is done?

You do. It lives in your repository, documented, so you are never locked to us. Bring in another engineer whenever you like.

What if the app was started with AI tools?

That is fine. If you have already got something half-built in Lovable, Cursor or similar, Vibe Code Rescue is the faster path to production.

// Our big move

We build living websites now.

Same senior team, a new way to work: websites that watch themselves, heal what breaks and get better every week, with AI on the watch and humans making the call. If that sounds like what your site needs, let's have a chat.

// Start a project

Build the thing off-the-shelf can't.

Tell us the workflow slowing you down, the report you keep rebuilding by hand, or the feature no app quite delivers. We will tell you straight what it takes to build it right.
