Shopify app development company with apps live on the App Store
We build custom Shopify apps for brands and SaaS companies: private apps that fit how your store works, and public apps ready for the Shopify App Store. You talk to the developers who write the code.
- Private apps, public App Store apps and integrations
- Embedded admin built with Polaris and App Bridge
- You own the code and the app listing
What we build
If Shopify or the App Store can’t do it out of the box, we can usually build it.
Private custom apps
Apps only your store uses: custom workflows, admin tools, reports and automations around orders, products and customers.
Public App Store apps
Full products for the Shopify App Store with onboarding, billing, settings and a listing that passes review.
Theme app extensions
App blocks and embeds merchants add in the theme editor, with no edits to theme code.
Checkout and Functions
Checkout UI extensions, custom discounts, delivery and payment rules with Shopify Functions.
Integrations
Connect Shopify to your ERP, CRM, warehouse, email or marketing tools through APIs and webhooks.
Rebuilds and rescues
Take over an unfinished or broken app, move it to current Shopify APIs and get it stable.
Who this is for
Custom work makes sense when the job is central to how you sell, or when you want to turn an idea into an App Store business.
How a project runs
You always know what’s being built, what it costs and when it ships.
Discovery call
We map the problem, the data and the Shopify APIs involved, and tell you if an existing app already solves it.
Proposal and scope
Screens, features, price and timeline in writing before any work starts.
Build in sprints
You review working builds on a development store as each part is finished.
Launch or App Store review
We install it on your store or take it through Shopify’s app review.
Support and updates
We keep the app working as Shopify updates its APIs.
What a custom Shopify app costs
Every app is scoped and priced in writing before we start. Small private apps sit near the starting point. Public apps with billing, onboarding and App Store review take more.
What changes the price
- Private app for one store, or public app for many
- Number of screens and settings in the admin
- Storefront, checkout or Functions work
- Integrations with outside systems
- Billing, onboarding and App Store review
What we work with
Proof you can install today
Most agencies show screenshots. We show apps on the Shopify App Store that merchants use and review every week.
Shopify app development questions
How much does it cost to build a custom Shopify app?
Our custom app projects start at $10,000. A focused private app for one store sits near that. Public App Store apps with billing, onboarding and review cost more. You get a fixed scope and price in writing before work starts.
What is the difference between a custom app and a public app?
A custom (private) app is installed only on your store and is built around your process. A public app is listed on the Shopify App Store and installed by many merchants, so it needs billing, onboarding and Shopify’s app review.
Do I need a custom app, or will an App Store app do?
If an existing app does 90% of what you need, use it. We’ll tell you on the first call. Custom work pays off when the feature is central to how you sell, or when you’re paying for several apps to do one job.
Who owns the code?
You do. When the project is paid, the code, the app and its listing belong to you.
Can you get my app approved for the Shopify App Store?
Yes. We build to Shopify’s app requirements from day one and take the app through review. Three of our own four apps carry the Built for Shopify badge.
Do you offer maintenance after launch?
Yes. Shopify changes its APIs every quarter. We can keep your app updated, monitored and supported on a monthly plan.
Where is your team based?
GM Infotech Inc is registered in Beaverton, Oregon, USA, and our development team works from Surat, India, which gives US clients replies at the start and end of their day.
