// Build — Shopify

Shopify development built for conversion and scale

Custom Shopify and Shopify Plus builds — from fast-launching branded storefronts to headless commerce architectures and private Shopify apps for complex B2B workflows.

// Capabilities

Our Shopify development scope

Custom Shopify Theme Development

Built against Shopify's Liquid/Dawn architecture or Hydrogen for headless. Conversion-optimised layouts, custom sections, and design-system fidelity.

Shopify Plus & B2B

Checkout extensibility, B2B storefronts, multi-currency, multi-store, and custom scripts for enterprise commerce workflows.

Shopify App Development

Private and public Shopify apps using the Admin API, Storefront API, and Webhooks for custom business logic not covered by the app store.

Migrations to Shopify

Moving from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, or custom platforms — product data, customer records, order history, and SEO URL mapping.

Headless Shopify

Shopify as the commerce backend with a Next.js or custom frontend. Better performance, full design freedom, and independent deployment cycles.

Third-party Integrations

ERP, OMS, 3PL, CRM, loyalty platforms, analytics, review tools, and marketing automation connected via the Shopify API ecosystem.

// Technical approach

Commerce engineering, not just theme customisation

Shopify development is often reduced to theme editing and app installs. For brands with real revenue at stake, that approach creates fragile dependencies, slow checkout experiences, and operational chaos during peak periods.

We treat Shopify as an API-first platform and engineer around its capabilities — custom checkout extensions for Shopify Plus, private apps for ERP integration, and performance-tuned themes with minimal third-party script bloat.

// Standards we apply

  • Lazy loading and image optimisation in all themes
  • Script consolidation — minimise third-party render-blocking JS
  • Checkout.liquid → Checkout Extensibility migration (required by Shopify)
  • Metafields and metaobjects for structured content over app-generated data
  • Webhook-driven integrations for ERP and OMS sync
  • Staging environment via theme duplication and git-based deployment
  • Shopify Functions for custom discounts, shipping, and payment logic

// FAQ

Shopify development questions

When does Shopify Plus make sense over standard Shopify?+

Shopify Plus is typically justified above $1–2M in annual revenue, when you need custom checkout logic, complex B2B pricing, multi-store management, or dedicated support SLAs. We help clients evaluate the cost-benefit at their specific volume and complexity.

Can you migrate a WooCommerce store to Shopify without losing SEO?+

Yes. Our Shopify migration process includes product, customer, and order data migration; URL structure review and redirect mapping; structured data migration; analytics reconfiguration; and a pre/post comparison of indexed pages and Core Web Vitals.

What is headless Shopify and when should we use it?+

Headless Shopify separates the Shopify backend (cart, checkout, inventory, payments) from the frontend, which is typically a Next.js app. It gives you faster performance, full design control, and cross-channel selling. It adds engineering complexity and cost — we recommend it when performance or custom frontend behaviour is a genuine competitive requirement.

Can you build custom Shopify apps for our internal workflow?+

Yes. We build private Shopify apps that extend the admin, automate fulfilment, sync with ERP or warehouse systems, or add custom B2B pricing and approval flows that the standard Shopify Plus features do not cover.
