Step 1 - Discovery
Discovery & Strategy: Crafting Your Shopify App Dev Roadmap
Need something technical done such as automating inventory syncs with multiple vendors that involve 200,000+ SKUs without violating MAP? We’ve done that. Our process starts with a 15-30 minute consultation to assess your needs and confirm we’re the right partner for your custom Shopify app development. We dive into your app’s objectives, whether building from scratch or enhancing existing features. For complex projects, a paid 1-2 week discovery phase may follow, analyzing your workflows, integration points, and data processes. This includes planning key Shopify APIs, such as the Admin API and Storefront API, and leveraging webhooks for seamless performance. We use the Polaris design system (best practice for Shopify App Dev) to ensure an intuitive user experience, crafting a roadmap aligned with your business goals.
