CUSTOM APP DEVELOPMENT
Custom Shopify apps and integrations for the work the App Store can't do.
Internal-use apps, headless storefronts, ERP and CRM integrations, payment gateway customization, AR/3D model integration, and the webhook architecture that connects your Shopify store to whatever else runs your business.
What We Actually Build?
App Store apps cover 80% of needs. The other 20% is where most brands hit a wall, and where custom app development pays for itself within months.
- Internal-use Shopify Apps (private, custom-built, single-tenant)
- ERP integrations — NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage
- CRM integrations — HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, custom
- Payment gateway customization — beyond Shopify Payments and Stripe defaults
- Webhook architecture — real-time data sync to external systems
- Headless storefronts — Hydrogen, Next.js, custom
- 3D models and AR integration — for product visualization
Who this is for?
Brands hitting App Store limitations. Brands integrating Shopify with non-standard external systems. Enterprise brands moving toward headless. Service-based commerce needing booking integrations (Boulevard, Zenoti, Mindbody).

FAQs
Do you build public Shopify Apps for the App Store?
Sometimes. Public app development is a different beast, different review process, different pricing model, different ongoing maintenance load. We focus mainly on private and custom apps.
What about Hydrogen and headless?
Yes , we build Hydrogen storefronts and Next.js-based headless setups. We’ll also tell you honestly when headless is the wrong call. Most brands don’t need it.
How do you handle API rate limits and webhook reliability?
Properly architected. Bulk operations use Shopify’s GraphQL Admin API with cursor pagination. Webhooks have retry logic and dead-letter queues. We build for the failure modes, not just the happy path.
