Shopify app integrations

We develop integrations for Shopify: an app/connector on the Shopify Admin API (sync of products/orders/customers, webhooks, billing via Shopify), preparation for publishing in the Shopify App Store. Honestly and bluntly upfront: this is technical development/integration, NOT a source of sales/installs. Shopify strictly reviews apps, access via OAuth/scopes, the API changes and is versioned, there are limits. Without promises of installs/revenue from the fact of integration.

Duration
usually 3-6 weeks (depends on scope) + Shopify review (beyond control)/support separate

Shopify app integrations — overview

Shopify app integrations — price, timeline & scope

Shopify app integrations is developing and supporting an integration/app for the Shopify ecosystem: connecting to the Shopify Admin API (REST/GraphQL) via OAuth and scopes, synchronization of products/orders/customers/inventory, handling webhooks (shop events), billing via the Shopify Billing API (if the app is paid), preparation for review/publishing in the Shopify App Store (App requirements), error handling/retries accounting for limits (including GraphQL query cost), monitoring. The work: OAuth/access, sync/webhooks, billing, review preparation, support. Honestly about 'integration/app ≠ sales/installs', this is key: development removes technical barriers (sync, events, billing), but does not create demand; app installs and shop sales depend on the value of the app/product, price, marketing. 'We make an integration — there will be installs/revenue' = a lie. Honestly about 'Shopify review is strict': for App Store publishing the app passes a mandatory review (functionality/security/billing/UX/policies) — Shopify may reject/require fixes; the decision is beyond our control. Honestly about 'API versions/deprecation': Shopify versions the Admin API and deprecates versions on a schedule — the integration requires support/updates; 'once and forever' = a lie. Honestly about 'limits/query cost': the API has limits (REST bucket, GraphQL cost) — we design the sync within them. Honestly about 'a shop/Partner account is needed': development/testing requires a Shopify Partner account and a dev store — a prerequisite. Honestly about 'data quality': we transfer what is there; it will not fix incorrect data. Honestly about 'reliability': the API fails/errors; we do error handling/retries/monitoring, but 100% uptime depends on Shopify. Honestly about 'within the rules/no inflation': the API legally per ToS. Honestly about the effect: it develops and supports an integration/app for Shopify (Admin API OAuth, sync of products/orders/customers, webhooks, billing, review preparation), removing technical barriers, but integration ≠ sales/installs; Shopify review is strict (can reject); API versions/deprecation (support); limits/query cost; a Partner account/store is needed; data quality on the client's side; reliability depends on Shopify; within the rules. Honestly about access: a Shopify Partner account/store, your system are needed. An important boundary: this is development/integration; listing/ASO in the Shopify App Store — 604 (marketplaces section). The base price starts from 38,000 ₽ for integration (depends on scope; review/support separate).

Problems we solve

  • No integration/app for Shopify: manual exchange of products/orders, no webhooks/billing.
  • A misconception that an integration/app by itself = installs/revenue.
  • Not knowing about strict Shopify review, API versioning/deprecation and limits (REST bucket/GraphQL cost).
  • Ignoring the need for a Partner account/dev store and data quality.

FAQ

  • You make the integration — will there be installs/revenue?

    No, honestly: development removes technical barriers (sync, webhooks, billing), but does not create demand. App installs and sales depend on the value of the app/product, price, marketing. Plus for the App Store you need to pass a strict Shopify review (can reject). We honestly make the integration as a tool, without promises of installs/revenue.

  • Will you set it up once and forever?

    No, honestly: Shopify versions the Admin API and deprecates versions on a schedule, so the integration requires support and updates; plus there are limits (REST bucket, GraphQL query cost) and a Partner account/dev store is needed. 'Once and forever' is a deception. We honestly include support and design within limits.

  • Do you guarantee publishing in the Shopify App Store?

    No, honestly: for publishing the app passes a mandatory strict Shopify review (functionality/security/billing/UX/policies), and Shopify may reject or require fixes — the decision is beyond our control. We prepare the app maximally per requirements, but cannot guarantee approval. Listing/ASO — 604.
