Connect Shopify with the tools your business already uses—or build a custom app when your business needs functionality that off-the-shelf solutions cannot provide.
Not every ecommerce requirement needs custom development. We first look at what already exists, then choose the practical path for your workflow.
Connect Shopify with the apps and business systems your team already uses.
Build purpose-built functionality around your unique business process.
Shopify has a large app ecosystem, but some business processes are too specific for a standard app. A custom app can bring your internal workflow, data and Shopify experience together in one purpose-built solution.
From focused internal tools to connected ecommerce workflows, we build applications around the functionality your store and team actually need.
Merchant-facing tools and workflows that help teams manage ecommerce operations.
AdminConnect Shopify data and operations with custom platforms, APIs and business systems.
APIsAutomate order-related processes and connect events with downstream systems.
AutomationBuild workflows around products, variants, inventory, metafields and catalog operations.
CatalogConnect customer information and ecommerce activity with supported CRM workflows.
Customer dataCreate dashboards and operational reports using Shopify and connected business data.
AnalyticsAdd functionality to the online store using the Shopify extension model where appropriate.
StorefrontExtend supported Shopify surfaces with functionality designed around specific customer journeys.
ExperienceUse events, APIs and business rules to reduce repetitive manual processes.
WorkflowsWe integrate Shopify with the systems your business relies on, with attention to data mapping, authentication, error handling and the real workflow behind the connection.
Connect orders, products, inventory and operational data with your business systems.
Move relevant customer and ecommerce information into connected customer workflows.
Connect product, customer and order events with marketing and automation workflows.
Connect order and fulfillment processes with supported logistics systems and workflows.
Integrate customer engagement tools where their data and workflows fit your requirements.
Connect Shopify to proprietary platforms or services that do not have a standard connector.
The right choice depends on whether an existing solution already supports your workflow and how much custom functionality your business requires.
| Requirement | App Integration | Custom Shopify App |
|---|---|---|
| An existing app already solves the requirement | ✓ Suitable | Optional |
| Connect Shopify to another platform | ✓ | ✓ |
| Unique business workflow | Depends | ✓ |
| Custom internal tool | Limited | ✓ |
| Custom automation logic | Depends on app | ✓ |
| Custom reporting or dashboard | Depends on app | ✓ |
| Proprietary system or API | If supported | ✓ |
We choose the Shopify APIs and extension surfaces that fit the application, workflow and distribution model. The implementation is planned around security, permissions, data flow and maintainability.
We start with the business workflow, then map the technology around it.
Understand the requirement, users, systems and business rules.
Define architecture, data flow, permissions and Shopify surfaces.
Plan the merchant, customer or operational experience.
Build the app, APIs, extensions and integrations.
Validate workflows, edge cases, data and failure scenarios.
Deploy, configure, document and support the solution.
A Shopify integration or custom app needs to behave predictably when data is incomplete, events arrive more than once, an API request fails or a connected system is temporarily unavailable.
We look at the integration from both the technical and ecommerce perspective: what data moves, what the merchant experiences, what the customer experiences, and what happens when something goes wrong.
An integration connects Shopify with an existing application or business system. A custom app is purpose-built around a specific business requirement, workflow or system.
