How We Built a Shopify App
Our process is simple, well laid out, and easy to follow for accountability and transparency:
1. Discovery & Planning
Our process begins with an exploration of your business objectives, user needs, and some technical considerations. Our team conducts comprehensive research, competitor reviews, and interviews with key stakeholders to develop a roadmap that we believe aligns with your Shopify strategy. When you are comfortable, we share your expectations on a portion of your engagement and solidify the learning for the following steps. This phase emphasises clarity, shapes, and fosters synchronisations of expectations, creating an atmosphere that supports design and development.
2. Wireframing & UI/UX design
Your project designers will prepare wireframes and visual mock-ups that visualise the structure, flow, and functionality of your app. We put a big emphasis on creating a simple, accessible experience that is consistent on all screens, leveraging Shopify Polaris and also applying modern design systems. This phase puts an emphasis on the user experience being easy to use and conversion-focused.
3. Development
Once designs are finalised, our developers build your app with a robust backend and first frontend code. The code base is simple and allows for advancement and scaling. Each feature is built as a module and tackled with performance and maintainability in mind. We use Shopify coding standards, and then the code is theoretically modular, which is configured for the future.
4. Testing
We complete a majority of separate QA testing and unit tests. This will also include standalone integration testing, usability testing, and performance testing. We will confirm your app works seamlessly on different devices, browsers, and with different Shopify themes. Bugs and categorised issues that may be tagged will all need to be fixed or worked on before launching the app to ensure quality and stability.
5. Launch
After testing has tallied and you’ve signified that you are satisfied, we can prepare you for production. For public apps, we will assist you with the submission process to the Shopify App Store and ensure that we’ve made every attempt to fulfill all the technical, security, and content requirements. For custom apps, the final deliverable will be accompanied by configuration documentation and training where appropriate.
6. Support & Maintenance
After launch, we track the status of your application, use security updates, and distribute the functional enhancement based on the business requirements you developed. Whether it’s fixing bugs, working through an API update, or updating performance, we’re here to help with the success of the long-term application.

Real-World Use Case
Case Study: Optimising Fulfillment for a Fashion Brand
One of our US retail clients had a desire to improve order management with additional vendors. We built them a private app that automated a zone-based shipping logic and integrated label creation with their logistics service. In turn, this led to fewer mistakes, faster order fulfillment, and improved collaboration amongst team members, with time and money savings.
Case Study: Streamlining Inventory Management for an Electronics Retailer
A mid-sized electronics retailer operating in the UK was struggling with tracking inventory across multiple warehouse sites which resulted in stockouts and late shipping. The retailer ran on Shopify, so we created a custom app that provided real time inventory sync across all stores, as well as automated low-stock notifications. The combination of happier customers due to the reduced stock discrepancies and faster restocking items allowed the client to improve both sales and operational efficiency.
