Your own Shopify app. Built for your store and the way your company works.
We build apps for one business: yours. The process no App Store app covers, the integration your systems are missing, the tool your team works around every day. A standard custom app costs €5,000 at a fixed price – and the code belongs to you.
Most companies that ask us for an app have already installed three that almost fit. A custom app is built around your process instead – and when an existing app would do, we tell you.
Your process fits no app
B2B pricing by customer group, a loyalty programme with your own rules, a product configurator, a members area – logic that belongs to your business, not to a plug-in.
Your systems do not talk to Shopify
ERP, merchandise management, PIM, a 3PL or a payment provider without a connector. Orders, stock and prices have to flow both ways – reliably, every time.
Your team works around Shopify
Spreadsheets, copy-paste between tabs, manual checks every morning. An internal app puts the job in one screen: returns, production planning, wholesale orders, approvals.
Five apps where one would do
Each one loads scripts into the storefront, charges monthly and has a vendor to chase when something breaks. One app that does your job runs faster and costs less over time.
What we build
Apps for your store, your team and your systems.
One team carries your app from the first conversation to go-live – and keeps it running afterwards if you want.
Custom admin apps
An app inside your Shopify admin that does exactly your job – built with React, Node.js and TypeScript, in Polaris, so it feels like part of Shopify. The same stack behind the loyalty programme and members area we run for Regenliebe and MADSea.
Integrations
ERP and merchandise management (plentymarkets, JTL), Klaviyo, payment and shipping providers, PIM and 3PL – with retries, logging and a dashboard that shows what synced and what did not.
Internal tools and dashboards
Screens for the people who run the business: order and returns handling, stock and production planning, reporting across shops. One tool instead of five tabs and a spreadsheet.
Storefront features
Configurators, members areas, B2B order forms, custom product logic – as theme app extensions your team places in the theme editor, without theme code to maintain.
Automation
Event-driven flows on orders, inventory, customers and fulfilments. Idempotent handlers and alerts, so a missed webhook never turns into a missed order.
Operations and maintenance
Hosting on your accounts (EU on request), monitoring and updates to each new Shopify API version. Your app keeps working when Shopify changes.
How it works
Brief, build, go live.
A fixed price before we start, working software every week and a go-live date you can plan around.
Step 01Week 1
Brief and fixed quote
We talk through the problem, the systems involved and who works with the app. You get a written fixed price – €5,000 for a standard custom app – and a go-live date.
Step 02Weeks 1–2
Design and data model
Screens, data model, access rights and integrations – agreed with you before the first line of production code.
Step 03Weeks 2–6
Build in weekly increments
Every week a working version on a development store you can click through. Automated tests for everything that touches orders and money.
Step 04Weeks 6–7
Test with your data
Installed on a staging store with your real catalogue and processes, tested with the people who will use it.
Step 05Weeks 7–8
Go-live in your store
Installed in your live store, your team onboarded, documentation handed over. The app runs in a Shopify Partner account you control.
Step 06Ongoing
Run and extend
Monitoring, API updates and new features on a monthly retainer – or a documented handover if you would rather run the app yourself.
Proof
Apps we build and run ourselves.
We do not only build apps for clients – we run them every day: the loyalty programme and members area (brandupmember.com) for Regenliebe and MADSea, store-specific apps for Klean Kanteen Germany, and three apps in the Shopify App Store.
Most custom apps fit the standard package. If yours is bigger, you get a written fixed price after the first call – never an open-ended hourly bill.

FAQ
Questions companies ask before building an app.
What does a custom Shopify app cost?
A standard custom app costs €5,000 at a fixed price, plus VAT – from brief to go-live in your store. If your app needs several integrations, multiple stores or a larger internal system, you get a written fixed quote after the first call. We do not bill the build by the hour.
What is included in the standard custom app?
One app for your store or company: the brief, screen design and data model, the build with a weekly demo, testing with your data, go-live in your store and onboarding for your team. The code, repository and documentation are yours.
Do I need a custom app – or is there one in the App Store already?
Often there is, and we say so in the first call: we build apps, but we also install them. A custom app pays off when the logic is specific to your business, when three apps would have to be stitched together, or when monthly app fees outgrow a one-time build.
How long does it take?
Four to eight weeks for most custom apps and integrations, from the brief to a version your team works with. The brief in week one fixes the scope and the go-live date.
Who owns the code?
You do. The repository is yours from the first commit, the app lives in a Shopify Partner account you control, and hosting runs on your accounts. If you leave, you take everything with you – documentation included.
Can you connect our ERP, Klaviyo or a payment provider?
Yes. We run plentymarkets and JTL connections, Klaviyo flows and several payment providers in our own stores, and build integrations where no connector exists – with retries, logging and a dashboard that shows what synced and what did not.
What happens when Shopify changes its API?
Shopify releases a new API version every quarter and retires old ones after a year. On a retainer we update your app before each deprecation. Without one you get a documented codebase and a quote for the update when it is due.
Can the app also go into the Shopify App Store later?
Yes, if you want to sell it to other merchants. We have taken three of our own apps through the review and handle listing, billing, legal pages and GDPR webhooks – priced as a separate project.
Which app does your business need?
Describe it in three sentences. We come back with a call slot and a fixed price – €5,000 for a standard custom app, no obligation.
