When a Shopify app is the right answer.
01
You're shipping a SaaS on Shopify
You want recurring revenue from merchants. We build the public app, the billing, the support surfaces and the App Store listing — not just the prototype.
02
Your ops need a private tool
Your team needs custom admin UI for merchandising, ops or finance that the theme can't host. Embedded admin app with App Bridge + Polaris is the right shape.
03
Theme code is the wrong place for this
What started as a theme snippet has turned into a small platform. It belongs in a theme-app extension or a Function, not in section.liquid.
04
Functions can replace a Plus script
Discounts, delivery, payment and cart transforms now live in Shopify Functions. We migrate Plus scripts and ship new logic the right way.
We build apps that pass review the first time and don't become unmaintainable in year two.
01
Public apps for the App Store
Remix or Next.js + App Bridge + Polaris. Billing, GDPR, support, listing, screenshots, review — the full path to live.
02
Private and custom apps
Embedded admin tools for a single brand. Ops dashboards, merchandising surfaces, finance helpers.
03
Theme-app extensions
App blocks merchants can drop into Online Store 2.0 themes. No theme edits, clean upgrades.
04
Shopify Functions + Flow
Discount, delivery, payment and cart-transform Functions in Rust or JS. Custom Flow connectors for automation.
Apps are software products, not configuration. We ship them with observability, billing edge cases handled, and a path to maintain after launch.

Typical investment.
App projects start at $6,000 USD. Most public-app MVPs land between $12,000–$30,000 USD depending on billing and surface area. Timelines run 4–12 weeks, fixed scope. Post-launch maintenance is offered as a separate retainer.
We don't take revenue share on your app.
How we work.
Step 01
Scope: what the app does, who pays, how it ships
Step 02
Architecture: Remix vs Next, hosting, billing model, App Bridge surfaces
Step 03
Build: fixed-scope sprints with staging on a dev store
Step 04
Submit + launch: App Store review, GDPR, monitoring
We've shipped apps that passed Shopify review on the first submission. That's the bar.

What clients ask first.
Do you build for the Shopify App Store?
Yes. Public apps with billing, GDPR webhooks, App Bridge, Polaris, screenshots and listing copy — through review and into Built-for-Shopify when it applies.
Can you migrate a Plus script to Shopify Functions?
Yes. Discount, delivery, payment and cart-transform scripts move into Functions (Rust or JS) with parity testing on a dev store first.
Do you handle App Bridge 4 and the new admin?
Default. New builds ship on App Bridge 4 + Polaris React, with the embedded admin patterns Shopify expects.
Can you take revenue share instead of a project fee?
No. We deliver fixed-scope projects. You own 100% of the app and its revenue.
What about maintenance after launch?
Optional. Most clients move to a small monthly retainer for Shopify API upgrades, App Bridge changes and feature work.
