Shopify development

Shopify customisation that does not need another app.

Your theme gets you most of the way. The rest — a custom section, product data shown properly, a checkout tweak — often gets solved with another monthly app. Sometimes it should be code.

The problem

Shopify stores tend to collect apps for things a small piece of theme code could do. Each one adds scripts, cost and another thing that can conflict at the next theme update.

We build custom sections and templates with metafields so your team can edit them in the theme editor, and use checkout extensibility where the checkout needs changing. For a list of fixes rather than builds, see Shopify & WordPress help.

Sound familiar?

  • You need a custom section or block your theme does not have.
  • Product information should come from metafields, not hard-coded text.
  • The checkout needs a custom field, message or upsell using checkout extensions.
  • An app is doing something simple that theme code could do instead.
  • A new product template or landing page template is needed.

What you get

  • Custom sections, blocks or templates editable in the theme editor
  • Metafield and metaobject setup for structured product data
  • Checkout UI extensions where your plan supports them
  • Work done on a duplicate theme, published after your approval

What this isn’t

  • Full store builds or platform migrations (quoted separately or referred)
  • Public Shopify app development
  • Bulk product data entry

Price

From $400 for a custom section. Most Shopify builds land between $400 and $3,500.

Questions

Can you change the Shopify checkout?

Within what Shopify allows. Checkout extensions cover a lot, and some options depend on your Shopify plan. We check before quoting.

Will this work with our theme?

We build to fit your theme, whether it is a Shopify theme, a paid one or a custom build.

Do you need our Shopify login?

No. Send a collaborator request or staff invite once the job is agreed, and remove it when we finish.
