Why choose our Shopify development company

Professional team

DigitalSuits is a team with comprehensive expertise in building custom software for various platforms and domains. We treat every project with attention to technical details and help our clients achieve their business goals.

Considerable Shopify expertise

Over the years, we’ve gained considerable expertise in building custom web and mobile apps for the e-commerce industry, headless development, and development with major platforms like BigCommerce, Magento, and all kinds of Shopify apps: public and custom.

Business-focused mindset

Our clients are our source of gaining unique expertise, new skills, and inspiration to move forward. Working on new projects, we foster collaboration with customers to help them improve their business strategies and achieve their business goals.

How our Shopify app development agency works

Bold UI/UX design

We start the development process by collecting functional and system requirements for the technology our clients requested. Then, we show the result as a wireframe representing the user interface and internal app processes. Once the wireframe is ready, we proceed to visual designs with complete files and prototypes. While working with a Shopify app, we use Shopify Polaris, an open-source design system with a collection of best practices for this e-commerce platform.

Expert code implementation

For a basic app with a small load and user traffic, our Shopify developers follow the serverless approach. It allows our clients to scale automatically and withstand increasing traffic volumes easier in the future. The duration of this stage depends on the complexity of the requested app, however, our professional team is up for any technical challenges. We’ve got comprehensive expertise in building Shopify stores from the ground up, integrating them with third-party tools, upgrading, and maintaining.

Hassle-free Shopify validation

New public apps must pass the Shopify developer review process. The platform will check if the app is compliant with Shopify App Store requirements and addresses the standards of usability and security. With our professional help, your website will appear in Shopify with ease. To help you pass the validation, we help you prepare all the necessary information in advance to quickly and properly fill out the Shopify questionnaire.

Application upgrades and maintenance

We provide support and maintenance services for Shopify apps we’ve developed. At this stage, we analyze metrics data, collect user feedback, and add features that will significantly improve your product and help you generate more revenues. Improving an app can take a couple of hours to several weeks, depending on our agreement with the client. We also provide ongoing maintenance services to ensure your application works properly and delights users.

Benefits of custom Shopify app development for your business

Shopify is a perfect choice for versatile types of e-commerce businesses. Are you just starting up? This platform allows you to quickly build an online store with all the must-have features like customized checkouts and appealing product listings. If you’re already an established e-commerce business, you’re not likely to outgrow Shopify since it offers all the possibilities of scaling. Even large businesses can benefit from Shopify’s excellent customization opportunities and withstanding a high load of user transactions.

Having been involved with custom Shopify app development for a while, we can reassure you that this platform is a perfect fit for all kinds of businesses and niches. It helps e-commerce entrepreneurs build highly customized online stores to test their business idea or accelerate the time-to-market to launch and start generating the first profits. It’s a well-documented platform with lots of ready-made solutions and integrations, so you can choose among the most workable tools for marketing, shipping, stock management, and more.

However, if you have unique requests, Shopify is flexible enough to turn your ideas and business needs into real features and one-of-a-kind designs that will ease your daily work and help you turn your visitors into customers.

Frequently asked questions

The cost of building a custom Shopify app in the US market can vary greatly. Depending on the level of complexity, a basic custom Shopify application may cost approximately $3,000 to $5,000. However, if you're looking for more advanced features and a higher degree of customization, you should expect to pay upwards of $50,000 to $100,000 or more. It's essential to take into account several factors that can influence the final cost, such as:

  • The complexity of the application
  • The level of customization
  • The experience of the developers
  • The timeframe for development
  • Integration with third-party systems
  • Ongoing maintenance and support

Working with an experienced developer or agency is essential to get a detailed quote and ensure that you clearly understand the costs involved.

The best way to pick the Shopify app development company for your needs is to consider several factors: successful cases in the e-commerce industry, the way the company builds communication and arranges the development process, awards and recognitions, activity on media, and more. This way, you can see if an agency can meet your project requirements and establish the relevant process for achieving your aims. For example, DigitalSuits has been recognized by Clutch and DesignRush as one of the best Shopify and Custom E-commerce development vendors on their ratings. We’ve also got a comprehensive portfolio of works you can check out on our website.

Currently, Shopify has two types of apps: public and custom.

  • With Shopify custom app development, you create an app that will address your particular business needs. It’s an application that’ll be available exclusively for your Shopify e-commerce store and won’t be listed on the Shopify App Store.
  • Shopify public application development allows you to make an app for other e-commerce stores on Shopify. It will be available in the Shopify App Store and will require Shopify validation before that.
