Own it, or rent it
An app is cheaper on day one and a dependency forever. A connector costs more to build and is yours to change. We decide per integration, based on how central it is, how often it changes and what a failure costs. Whatever we build gets logging, retries and an owner, because an invisible integration is the one that breaks.
What we build
Connectors for systems without an app, or with an app that misses what you need.
Custom Shopify apps for your admin, built on the Shopify APIs and webhooks.
Checkout and discount logic with checkout extensions and Shopify Functions.
Apps for Shopify POS, such as the custom POS apps we built for OGÉR.
Order routing and automation, such as the routing rules across three continents for Mystic.
Shopify Flow automations for the work your team now does by hand.
Connecting an ERP or WMS is a topic of its own; see ERP integration.
App or custom: how we decide
We start with the App Store, because an existing app is often the cheapest and fastest option. Custom wins when:
the app exists but misses the one field or rule you need;
the integration decides revenue and may never fail silently;
you pay per order or per month for something you could own;
three apps do the work of one connector and slow the store down.
For each integration we compare build and running costs over several years, and the risk of depending on a third party.
How we build
On the official Shopify APIs and webhooks, never on scraping or workarounds.
With retries, logging per message and alerts to a named owner.
With a way to reprocess failed messages without a developer.
Hosted and secured with access limited to what the integration needs.
Documented per flow, field and owner, so another team can take over.
Integrations that touch the storefront are tested for speed, so custom work does not slow the store down.
Maintenance after launch
Shopify releases a new API version every quarter, and the systems on the other side change too. We monitor the integrations we build, update them before an API version expires and adapt them when your processes change. If you prefer to run them yourself, we hand over code and documentation.
