Custom Shopify Applications

Work where the answer was an application — with its own data model, its own rules, and a database behind it — rather than a theme change or something installed from the app store.

Case studies

These engagements have little in common on the surface: a fundraising platform attributing orders to individual sellers, a shipping service that has to quote a price Shopify cannot express, pricing driven from a spreadsheet the business already maintains, backend workflows that never touch a storefront. What connects them is the point at which configuration ran out. Each one needed state that Shopify does not model, or a calculation Shopify does not expose a setting for, and the honest answer was to build the thing rather than bend the platform around it.

That decision has a cost and it is worth naming: an application is something somebody has to own. These are the cases where the alternative cost more.

The engineering behind this work is custom Shopify app development.
