Shopify development, from first store to custom apps
Overview
Shopify development at Quaflow
Shopify is the fastest way to start selling online, but most growing brands quickly outgrow a stock theme and a stack of disconnected apps. Our Shopify development team closes that gap with clean Liquid and Online Store 2.0 theme work, Shopify Functions and checkout extensions, and custom apps built on the Shopify Admin and Storefront APIs.
We also build our own Shopify apps. Upload Center — our file upload and custom pricing app — runs on hundreds of stores, so we know the platform's limits, review guidelines and performance budgets from the inside.

Process
How a Shopify project runs
Discovery, design, build and launch — with weekly demos and a staging store you can test at any time.
Discovery
We map your goals, catalogue, operations and existing tools, then agree on scope, timeline and a fixed or phased budget.
Design & architecture
UX flows, visual design and the technical plan — platform, apps, integrations and data model — reviewed with you before build.
Build & QA
Iterative development on a staging store with weekly demos, automated checks and manual testing across devices.
Launch & grow
A planned go-live with redirects, analytics and monitoring, followed by training, support and continuous improvement.
How long does it take to build a Shopify store?
A turnkey Shopify store on a customised theme usually takes 3–6 weeks. A fully custom theme with integrations typically takes 6–12 weeks, depending on catalogue size and the number of systems we connect.
Do you work with Shopify Plus?
Yes. We build checkout UI extensions, Shopify Functions, B2B features and multi-store setups for Shopify Plus merchants.
Can you build a custom Shopify app just for our store?
Yes. We build custom (private) apps that run only on your store as well as public apps listed on the Shopify App Store.
Will we be able to edit the store ourselves?
Yes. Our themes use Online Store 2.0 sections and blocks, so your team can change content, layouts and campaigns without a developer. Every project includes a handover session.
Can you migrate our existing store to Shopify without losing SEO?
Yes. We migrate products, customers and order history, keep URL structures where possible and set up 301 redirects for every changed URL so rankings carry over.
