Ways to build your Shopify app
Some apps belong in the App Store, others only need app-like speed on the web. We build all three routes for Shopify and recommend the fit for your catalog, checkout, and customer base.
Native iOS and Android
Built in Swift and Kotlin for push notifications and device features, the route for loyalty and rewards apps in the app stores.
Cross-platform
One Flutter or React Native codebase for both app stores, wired to Shopify over the Storefront API, for standard commerce.
Headless storefront
A React or Next.js storefront on your Shopify backend, app-like speed on the web with no app-store review.

App builds since 2016
A dedicated Mobile Applications team has built apps since 2016, alongside our commerce and design practices.
Native and cross-platform
Swift and Kotlin for native, Flutter and React Native for cross-platform, matched to how much App Store presence you need.
Wired to your Shopify store
Apps connect to your Shopify catalog, cart, and checkout through the Storefront and Admin APIs, in real time.
Headless when it fits
React and Next.js storefronts for app-like speed on the web with no app-store review, from the same frontend team.
ISO 27001 and 27017
Certified information and cloud security, so a data-heavy app is built, hosted, and handled to an audited standard.
One team, strategy to store
Strategy, design, build, and app-store submission under one roof, plus the Shopify store and theme the app connects to.
How we build your Shopify app
A Shopify app build starts with the approach decision, because native, cross-platform, and headless each change the timeline and cost. We scope that first, then design, build, and deliver the app.
Scope and approach
We map the app's goals, the Shopify APIs and apps it must reach, and its users, then recommend native, cross-platform, or headless with the reasons written down.
Design and prototype
The flows and screens are designed and prototyped, and tested with real shoppers before the build starts.
Build
The app is built in the chosen stack, with loyalty, payments, and the Shopify Storefront and Admin APIs wired in.
Submit to the stores
The app is prepared for the App Store and Google Play, submitted, and taken through review.
Launch and improve
After launch, we track usage and roll out improvements from a team that also runs your Shopify store.

Shopify app development questions answered
Do you build native iOS and Android apps for Shopify stores?
Yes. Our dedicated mobile team has built apps since 2016, and we develop native iOS apps in Swift and native Android apps in Kotlin for Shopify merchants who need full device access, push notifications, and store features. When a lighter build fits, we also deliver cross-platform apps and headless storefronts, and we recommend the right one during scoping.
Can the app connect to my existing Shopify store?
Yes. The app connects to your Shopify store through the Storefront and Admin APIs, so your catalog, cart, checkout, and customer data stay in Shopify and the app reads and writes to them in real time. You keep one source of truth, and the app layers the mobile experience on top of it.
Can you take over an app another team started?
Yes, and it is a common request. We run a code and UX audit on the inherited or stalled Shopify app, check how it uses the Storefront and Admin APIs, then finish and deliver it. The audit tells you what is salvageable before any work starts, so you are not paying to guess.
How long does a Shopify app take to build?
It depends on the approach and complexity. A focused cross-platform or headless build can reach a live version in a few months, while a native app with loyalty and Shopify integrations takes longer. The discovery gives you a real timeline for your app before you commit.
Native, cross-platform, or a headless storefront, which should I choose?
It depends on what the app must do. A native app suits loyalty, rewards, and feature-rich experiences that lean on device hardware. A cross-platform app is faster and lower cost when you want both app stores from one codebase. A headless storefront gives app-like speed in the browser with no app-store review. We recommend the fit before the build.
Do you build custom Shopify apps and integrations?
Yes. Alongside customer-facing apps, we build custom Shopify apps on Shopify's APIs, including custom storefront and admin functionality and connections to your ERP, CRM, and PIM through middleware. This is how a Shopify store gets behavior the standard theme and off-the-shelf apps do not cover.
How much does Shopify app development cost?
It depends on the approach and scope, so pricing follows a short discovery and there is no fixed package. A headless storefront or a cross-platform app usually costs less than a full native build, while native apps and Shopify API integrations vary with the features. The quote is priced to your project.
Do you also build the Shopify store itself?
Yes. Building and running Shopify stores is our core work, covered on our Shopify development services page, and the app team sits alongside it. If you want the store and the app from one partner, we scope them together so the mobile experience and the storefront share the same data and design.
