Shopify App Development

We build custom Shopify apps that live inside the admin - embedded experiences powered by the GraphQL Admin API, Polaris components, and App Bridge. From product management tools to collection workflows, we build Shopify solutions scoped to your exact operations.

The Problem

Off-the-shelf Shopify apps force you into generic workflows that don't match how your team actually works. You end up layering multiple apps on top of each other, paying for features you don't need, and losing time switching between disconnected tools. The admin experience feels bolted on rather than native, and your team fights the tooling instead of using it.

Our Solution

We build embedded Shopify admin apps that feel native to the platform. Using React Router v7, the GraphQL Admin API, and the Polaris component library, we create merchant-facing tools that sit directly inside the Shopify admin. App Bridge handles the embedded experience so your team never leaves the interface they already know. Every workflow is scoped to your operations - no bloat, no workarounds.

How It Works

01

Workflow Mapping and API Scoping

We map your merchant workflows - product management, collection logic, inventory rules - and identify the exact GraphQL Admin API queries and mutations needed. This determines the app's data model and permission scopes.

02

Embedded App Architecture

We scaffold the embedded admin app with React Router v7 and App Bridge, configure OAuth and session tokens, and wire up the GraphQL Admin API layer. The app runs inside the Shopify admin from day one.

03

Merchant UI with Polaris

We build every screen using the Polaris component library so the app matches native Shopify UX. Data tables, forms, modals, and bulk actions all follow the patterns your team already recognizes from the admin.

04

Testing and Deployment

We test across development stores and edge cases - API rate limits, large catalogs, concurrent users - then deploy as a custom app installed directly on your store or submit to the Shopify App Store.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an embedded Shopify app mean?+
An embedded app runs directly inside the Shopify admin using App Bridge. Merchants never leave the admin interface - the app appears as a native section alongside products, orders, and settings. We build these with React Router v7 and the Polaris component library so the experience is indistinguishable from core Shopify functionality.
Why use the GraphQL Admin API instead of REST?+
The GraphQL Admin API lets us fetch exactly the data your app needs in a single request - no over-fetching, no chaining multiple REST calls. For apps that manage products, collections, or inventory, this means faster load times and fewer API rate limit issues, especially with large catalogs.
Can you build apps for a single store or does it have to be on the App Store?+
Both. Most of our shopify app development work is custom apps installed on a single store via the Shopify CLI. These are purpose-built for your operations and don't require App Store review. We also build public apps when the goal is distribution across multiple merchants.
Do you work with Shopify Plus?+
Yes. We work with stores on all Shopify plans, including Plus. Plus stores get access to additional API resources, higher rate limits, and custom checkout extensions that enable more advanced automations.
How much does Shopify app development cost?+
Projects typically start at $2,500/month, depending on scope and complexity. We scope every project individually after a free strategy call.
