Custom Apps & Integrations

01

We build custom Shopify apps, middleware, and background jobs around the GraphQL Admin API, webhooks, Shopify Functions, and merchant-specific operational workflows.

  • GraphQL Admin API & webhooks
  • ERP / WMS / CRM integrations
  • Middleware & background jobs
  • Shopify Functions & merchant workflows

Headless Shopify

02

We use Hydrogen and Shopify's Storefront API when a product needs more control over the frontend experience, content architecture, integrations, or application behavior. Headless is selected only when its added architecture is justified.

  • Hydrogen storefront development
  • Storefront API integration
  • CMS and content architecture
  • Custom application behavior

Migrations & Commerce Integration

03

We plan and implement migrations to Shopify across storefronts, product catalogs, variants, customer records, supported order history, redirects, and external integrations.

  • Products & variant migration
  • Customer & supported order data
  • URL redirects & SEO mapping
  • Integration & storefront migration

Themes & Performance

04

We build custom Liquid themes when merchant workflows or storefront requirements call for them, and improve performance through theme, image, JavaScript, and third-party app analysis.

  • Liquid sections & blocks
  • Responsive, accessible frontend
  • Core Web Vitals optimization
  • Third-party impact & monitoring

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

Can you build custom applications that integrate with our existing ERP?

Yes. We build custom Shopify apps and middleware around the GraphQL Admin API, using webhooks for event-driven updates where appropriate. Integrations can connect ERP, WMS, CRM, pricing, inventory, and operational workflows. For checkout work, Checkout UI Extensions handle supported UI customizations and Shopify Functions handle supported backend commerce logic; available extension points depend on the merchant's Shopify plan.

What is Headless Commerce, and does my store need it?

Headless Shopify separates the storefront experience from Shopify's commerce backend. Hydrogen uses the Storefront API to support custom frontend and content experiences. It makes sense when product, UX, content, or integration requirements justify the additional architecture and ongoing maintenance; it is not the default choice for every store.

How do you approach migrations from other commerce platforms?

We scope, map, test, and validate each migration before launch. Customer records can be migrated, while catalog and order data depend on the source platform, requirements, and migration tools. We map important URLs with redirects, but customer passwords generally cannot be transferred because they are encrypted by the originating platform; customers may need to activate or create Shopify credentials.

Why should we choose a custom Shopify theme over a pre-made template?

A quality pre-made theme can be a practical starting point. Custom Shopify themes are useful when a brand needs distinctive UX, custom merchandising behavior, tighter performance control, or sections and editor workflows tailored to its content and operations. We build these themes with Liquid, Shopify's templating language.
