About This Service
Shopify Custom Feature & Private App Development (Admin API, Functions, Webhooks)
When a Shopify app from the App Store doesn't quite fit, I build the custom feature or private (custom) app that does — purpose-built for your UAE business logic. I develop against the Shopify Admin GraphQL API, Storefront API and Shopify Functions, using webhooks, metafields, and the App Bridge embedded-app framework. Common builds: custom discount and bundle logic with Shopify Functions, ERP/POS sync, automated order routing, custom checkout UI extensions, subscription flows, and dashboards that pull live store data.
For UAE merchants I frequently build integrations with local systems — Zoho Books and Xero for VAT-compliant accounting, Aramex and Fetchr for automated label generation and tracking, WhatsApp Business API for order notifications, and Tabby/Tamara reconciliation. Apps are built in Node.js or Remix on the Shopify CLI, deployed reliably, and secured with proper OAuth scopes, webhook HMAC verification and rate-limit handling so they survive real traffic.
You get production-ready code, documentation, and a feature that automates the manual work currently eating your team's time — whether that's syncing inventory, applying complex GCC pricing rules, or routing orders to the right Emirate warehouse.
What's included
- Custom app on Shopify CLI — Embedded app via App Bridge, built in Node.js or Remix against the Admin GraphQL API.
- Shopify Functions — Custom discounts, bundles, delivery and payment customizations that run natively at checkout.
- Secure by default — OAuth scopes, webhook HMAC verification, rate-limit handling and least-privilege access.
- Local integrations — Zoho/Xero VAT accounting, Aramex/Fetchr labels, WhatsApp Business API notifications.
- Automation — Order routing, inventory/ERP sync, and dashboards that remove manual data entry.
- Docs & handover — Documented code, deployment notes and a walkthrough so your team can maintain it.
How it works
- 1Scope the logic
We define the exact behaviour, data sources and edge cases — what triggers it and what it must output.
- 2Build & integrate
I develop the app/Function against the Admin GraphQL API and wire up webhooks and external systems.
- 3Test on a dev store
I validate on a Shopify development store with real scenarios before anything touches production.
- 4Deploy & document
I deploy, install on your store, and hand over documentation plus a maintenance guide.
