Ecosystem-first Shopify App Development
What we do best
We design and build ecosystem-first Shopify apps for production environments. Everything we create is native to the platform, using Polaris UI, official APIs, and extension-based architecture to ensure performance, security, and long-term maintainability.
We develop on-demand for others, from custom merchant applications, to SaaS companies entering the Shopify ecosystem, to secure and compliant payment integrations built for Shopify Checkout.
Custom Shopify App Development
Build custom apps around your business logic and workflows. We design native Shopify solutions using scalable architecture, clean data flows, and long-term maintainability as first principles.
Public Shopify App Development
Launch production-ready apps built for the Shopify App Store. We handle architecture, UX, compliance, performance, and approval, from first concept to long-term iteration.
Shopify Payment App Development
We build custom Payment Apps for third-party providers integrating directly with Shopify Checkout. From API design and authentication flows to compliance, testing, and app approval, we manage the full technical lifecycle.
How we design and build
Our process is shaped by hands-on implementation work across complex Shopify environments. By working close to real production systems, we understand platform constraints, merchant workflows, and what it takes to build apps that scale reliably over time.
How we build and think about apps
A Shopify App Development Partner is a company or developer officially registered in the Shopify Partner Program with a focus on creating apps for the Shopify ecosystem. These apps can be either public (available through the Shopify App Store) or custom-built for individual merchants with specific needs.
Partners in this category follow Shopify’s technical standards, API guidelines, and app review processes to ensure quality, security, and platform compatibility. Becoming a registered partner demonstrates verified access to Shopify's developer tools, partner resources, and app publishing infrastructure.
This partnership role is essential to the broader Shopify ecosystem, allowing merchants to extend their store functionality with trusted, purpose-built app solutions.
On Shopify, apps are categorized as either Public or Custom, and the key difference lies in their audience and distribution.
Public apps are designed to serve a broad range of merchants. They are distributed through the Shopify App Store and must meet strict security, performance, and UX standards. These apps are subject to Shopify’s approval process and offer built-in features like app billing, discoverability, and automatic updates.
Custom apps, on the other hand, are built for a single Shopify store or a specific client use case. They are not listed on the App Store and do not require approval from Shopify, which allows for quicker deployment and complete flexibility. Custom apps are often used for highly specific workflows, private integrations, or when merchant data needs to remain strictly internal.
For us, ecosystem-first means building apps that are fully aligned with Shopify’s native features, roadmap, and best practices. Instead of reinventing the wheel, we extend what’s already there, keeping apps lightweight, scalable, and future-proof.
Yes. All our apps are designed using Shopify Polaris UI. This ensures a familiar, consistent experience for merchants, reduces the learning curve, and guarantees full alignment with Shopify’s interface standards.
Once an app is built, rolled out and configured, we continuously listen to merchant feedback, analyze usage data, and release updates. This way, our apps evolve with merchants’ needs and Shopify’s ecosystem changes.
