When the app store does not have it

Every growing store hits the moment the app store fails: the integration that almost fits, the workflow no app covers, the subscription fee that now exceeds a build cost. Custom app development is the answer — done right. When you hire a Shopify app developer at this level, you get apps built to Shopify's review standards: secure webhooks, proper OAuth, and upgrade-safe architecture. Engagement models are on my hire page.

I am Omer Muneer Qazi, Senior Shopify Developer (ex-Integriti) with 15+ years of engineering across Node.js, React, and Shopify's API platform. I build private apps, custom storefront integrations, and public app-store products — all inside my ecommerce practice, with SEO-safe implementation wherever apps touch the storefront.

What you get

Apps built to platform standards

  • Private custom apps — built for your operations: ERP sync, custom fulfillment, B2B workflows — secure, documented, and yours outright.
  • Public app-store apps — designed, built, and guided through Shopify's app review — from idea to listed product.
  • Storefront integrations — app blocks, theme extensions, and pixel integrations that extend your theme without destabilizing it.
  • Shopify Functions — discount, shipping, and payment customization logic in server-side Functions — fast and upgrade-proof.
  • Webhook & API architecture — reliable event handling with retries, idempotency, and monitoring — integrations that survive traffic spikes.
  • App audits & takeovers — existing custom apps reviewed for security and reliability, then stabilized or rebuilt — whichever the audit says is cheaper.
How it works

From spec to app store

  1. Technical discovery

    A free call on what the app must do, who uses it, and what exists — followed by a fixed-scope technical spec.

  2. Architecture & spec sign-off

    Data flows, API usage, webhook design, and UI approved before code — the cheapest place to fix mistakes.

  3. Build & review prep

    Development against Shopify's standards with staging you can test — public apps prepared for review from day one.

  4. Deploy & handover

    Production deploy, monitoring, documentation, and 30 days of support — plus app-store submission for public apps.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Custom app or existing app — how do we decide?
If an existing app covers 90% of the need reliably, buy it. Build when the workflow is proprietary, the subscription math favors building within a year, or reliability is business-critical. I give you that math on the discovery call.
How long does a custom app take?
Private integrations typically 3–6 weeks; public app-store apps 8–16 weeks including review cycles. Fixed scope and timeline before we start.
Will our custom app survive Shopify API updates?
Yes — I build on versioned APIs with deprecation monitoring, so platform upgrades are planned maintenance, not emergencies.
Can you take over our existing custom app?
Common engagement. I audit the codebase, secure what is fragile, document what exists, then stabilize or rebuild based on what the audit says is most economical.
Do you handle app-store submission?
For public apps, yes — review requirements are designed in from the start, and I manage the submission and review feedback rounds.
