FAQ
Shopify App Questions
Common questions from merchants and brands planning a custom Shopify app.
A public app is listed on the Shopify App Store and available to any merchant. A custom app is built exclusively for your store or organisation. Most of our clients start with a custom app to solve a specific workflow, then consider publishing it later if the use case is broad enough.
Simple apps that extend a single Shopify feature can be ready in 4 to 6 weeks. More complex apps involving checkout extensions, subscription logic, or multi-store support typically take 8 to 14 weeks. We give you a locked timeline after our scoping phase.
Yes. We connect Shopify apps to ERPs, fulfilment partners, CRMs, email platforms, and custom APIs every week. If the service has an API, we can build the bridge. If it does not, we explore webhooks, CSV sync, or middleware alternatives.
We handle the entire submission process including preparing the app listing, screenshots, documentation, and responding to Shopify's review feedback. Our apps are built to meet Shopify's latest embedded app standards from day one, so approval is smoother.
Every app ships with 30 days of included support. After that, we offer monthly retainers that cover Shopify API updates, bug fixes, feature requests, and performance monitoring. Shopify evolves quickly, and we keep your app current.
We build with Shopify's Polaris design system, App Bridge for embedded experiences, and follow their security and performance requirements from the start. We stay up to date with Shopify Editions announcements so your app uses the latest best practices.
