Shopify App Development Agency in Morgantown, West Virginia

Both. Day-to-day delivery is remote with a shared Slack channel and weekly demos, and we work in Eastern Time for your team's hours. We travel to Morgantown for kickoff workshops and launch weeks when the project warrants it.

A custom app is built and installed for one store — it never goes through App Store review, so it can do exactly what your business needs. A public app is multi-tenant, listed in the Shopify App Store, and sold to many merchants. We build both, and the choice usually comes down to whether you're solving your own problem or selling a product.

Focused custom apps and integrations typically start around $15K. A public app built for App Store launch, with billing, onboarding and multi-tenant infrastructure, usually starts around $25K and scales with complexity. You get a fixed scope and a fixed number before any work starts — no hourly drift.

Six weeks is our average from kickoff to first install for an MVP. Integrations with ERP systems, complex Functions logic or heavy data migration extend that, and we tell you which category you're in during the scoping call rather than after signing.

No. Custom apps, the Admin API and most extensions work on standard Shopify plans. Plus is what unlocks certain checkout capabilities, higher API limits and B2B objects — so it matters for some app requirements and not for others. We flag that during feasibility so you're not upgrading for no reason

Often, yes. When a store is paying several monthly subscriptions for overlapping features — and taking the performance hit from each one's scripts — a single purpose-built app usually pays for itself within a year while removing the bloat.

Yes. Discounts, shipping rules, payment method gating, cart transforms and validation run as Functions on Shopify's infrastructure — the supported replacement for Checkout Scripts, and far more reliable at volume.

Yes. We prepare the listing assets, complete the requirements checklist, run the security and performance passes, and handle reviewer feedback until the app is approved. We build to those standards throughout, so review is usually a formality rather than a rewrite.

You do. The repository, the hosting accounts and the Shopify Partner app entry are yours from day one, with a documented handover at launch. You can take the app to any team afterwards.

Shopify releases a new API version quarterly and deprecates older ones, so apps need periodic upgrades along with webhook monitoring, error tracking and dependency updates. We cover that on a retainer with the same engineers who built the app.
