Development ofShopify Apps

Let's talk about your app
What is Shopify app?

Shopify application is a plug-in / an extension of the functionality of the store. It’s installed in the admin. panel of your Shopify website and directly from admin dashboard you can fully control the setting and other things that are included in the functionality.

P.S. Shopify App Store has 2000+ public applications in the official marketplace!
Let's discuss your project

Let's see why businesses use private and public applications more precisely

Public apps

We upload public apps to the Shopify App store and anyone can download and install them directly from there.

Requirements for public applications
Usually, the main task of public applications is to be a multipurpose and easy help tool. It has a business component - you can make money from them.
Public apps must be hosted on the official Shopify app store and fully meet all requirements to pass the verification process.

Note: public application as a business project will compete with other applications in the Shopify App Store.

Therefore, we recommend thinking about the marketing component in advance. Besides, we would recommend considering the marketing aspect beforehand and optimizing for the Shopify App Store search bar to enhance visibility. The last but not the least is USP. Your public app should have a clear USP (Unique Selling Proposition).

Private apps

Private applications are developed exclusively to meet your specific needs, and only you have access to use them.

Requirements for private apps
Other users are unable to install your app in their store, and you are also unable to publish it.
It is important to keep in mind that you will require a server for running the application.

There are mandatory requirements for the functioning of both private and public applications:

Server

It is necessary to have a separate server on which the application will be stored and run interacting with the Shopify API

Framework

We utilize a reliable, fast, and secure PHP framework, Laravel, to work with the Shopify API.

Technical support

Technical support is necessary even with successful testing and operation, whether in private or public mode. The Shopify API environment is periodically updated, and certain methods or functions utilized by your application may require intervention from developers.

Quick answers to the main questions
What determines the time and price of creating an application?

The time required to implement an application depends on its functionality and requirements. Basic functions, like transferring information to other services, rely on the availability of a documented API for the respective service. We will analyze the task and provide an evaluation after receiving information from you. The implementation time will increase with more complex functionality required.

Is it possible to create an application by myself?

If you are available and possess skills in UX/UI design, or knowledge of using the Shopify Polaris design system, front-end development for layout, and experience in one of the frameworks such as React.js, as well as back-end development using frameworks like PHP, testing, and working with servers, you can explore an Shopify app development.
