Why Shopify builds break

Shopify decides where custom code may live, and moves it

Work built in the wrong place stops working when Shopify retires it.

We check your plan, apps and every customization against Shopify’s supported extension points first, then build where Shopify maintains it. What Shopify can’t hold, we build beside the store as custom web development.

  2. The discounts that stoppedShopify Scripts stopped running on June 30, 2026. Every rule built on them had to move.
  3. The store you don’t ownThe agency holds the owner account. Shopify won’t transfer it, and leaving gets hard.

New stores, older stores and the move to Shopify

A new store usually combines the first three. An older store usually needs checkout work, integrations or the move.

  • Shopify store development

    An Online Store 2.0 theme with sections your team adds and reorders in the theme editor.
  • Custom Shopify theme development

    Templates and sections where a bought theme can’t lay out the product, all editable.
  • Shopify app development

    Custom Shopify app development on the GraphQL Admin API, added through theme app extensions.
  • Checkout extensions and Shopify Functions

    checkout.liquid and Scripts work rebuilt as checkout UI extensions and Functions.
  • Migration to Shopify

    Products, customers, orders and URLs from BigCommerce or Magento, every old URL redirected.

Buyer’s checklist

What to settle before the build starts

The decisions, comparisons and checks we work through with every buyer. Put them to any supplier, us included.

A theme, a custom theme or headless

We recommend the lightest route that holds what your store has to do.

  • A bought theme, customizedA Theme Store theme, adjusted, with apps as app blocks. Right when products sell on a standard layout.
  • A custom themeTemplates built around your product, still edited in the theme editor. Right when product pages must prove more.
  • Headless, with HydrogenA Hydrogen storefront while Shopify keeps catalog and checkout. Only when no theme can carry it.

Our Shopify store development case study shows one store we both designed and developed for a maker of sim racing cockpits: over 18 web pages, plus over 20 screens designed for phones.

What does a Shopify development company do?

A Shopify development company designs, builds and maintains online stores on Shopify: the theme, the apps, the checkout customizations and the connections to the business’s other systems. Because Shopify hosts the store, that work happens inside the platform’s extension points and the limits of the store’s plan. We start every build by mapping both.

What does Shopify website development include?

Shopify website development includes theme customization or a custom theme, the apps the store runs, the checkout, the integrations and any move from an old platform. We scope all five against the plan before design. The sim racing store we designed and developed is one example: more than 18 pages, plus over 20 phone screens.

How much does Shopify website development cost?

Our price for Shopify website development comes from the written scope, so we give none until that scope exists. The theme route, the number of custom templates, the apps and their subscriptions, the integrations and the plan move the price most. Our guide to website redesign cost explains how to compare quotes that price the same scope.

Do we need Shopify Plus?

We recommend Shopify Plus only when the store needs what only Plus allows: custom checkout steps, custom apps with Shopify Functions, or more Admin API throughput. Plus allows 1,000 points a second against 100 on standard plans, by Shopify’s rate limit table. Many stores need none of these, and Shopify B2B is also available on Basic, Grow and Advanced.

Are you a Shopify Plus agency?

We build Shopify Plus stores as well as stores on the standard plans, and we do not hold a Shopify Plus Partner badge. What we bring to a Plus build is the check that each customization belongs in a checkout extension, a Function or an app, before anyone writes it.

Can we hire a Shopify developer from you?

Yes. Most clients hire us for a scoped Shopify build, and teams that need a developer working inside their own process take one through our IT staff augmentation model, on your standards and your process.

What is the difference between Shopify store design and Shopify store development?

Shopify store design settles the layouts, type, color and phone screens a shopper sees; Shopify store development builds them into a working theme, with the apps and checkout behind it. We do both in one team. For design on its own, our jewelry, perfume and eyewear store designs show the work, with no client result claimed.

What happened to checkout.liquid and Shopify Scripts?

Shopify has retired both checkout.liquid and Shopify Scripts. checkout.liquid stopped working on the Information, Shipping and Payment steps from August 13, 2024, and on the Thank you and Order status pages on August 28, 2025. Scripts stopped running on June 30, 2026. We rebuild that work as checkout UI extensions, Functions or an app, to suit the plan.

Can you migrate our store to Shopify?

Yes, we move stores to Shopify from BigCommerce, Magento, WooCommerce or another platform, with their products, customers, orders and URLs. We map every old URL to its new one before launch and check the tracking through the switch, so search engines and shoppers find each page. Our website redesign checklist lists what a move must not lose.

Do you offer Shopify maintenance and support after launch?

Yes, the engineers who launch the store stay on it for maintenance and support. We follow Shopify’s changelog for the APIs and extensions the store uses, update apps and integrations as they change, and rebuild any customization before Shopify retires the feature it relies on. New features are added in stages on a development store, so the live store keeps trading while the work is reviewed.

Who owns the Shopify store and the code?

We advise that the business owns the store, its owner account, the app subscriptions and the domain, with code ownership written into the contract. Shopify lets an agency work as a collaborator, and it does not allow store ownership to pass to one. We work through collaborator access, so the store stays in the business’s name.

When is Shopify development the wrong choice?

Three cases where we advise a bought theme, a settled plan or another platform.

A bought theme already fits: Launch on it. Spend the difference on photography and copy.

Plus features without Plus: Settle the plan first. Workarounds outside Shopify’s extension points get switched off.

Rules Shopify can’t express: Pricing from engineering data needs custom ecommerce development, not a bent Shopify.
