Shopify Development Company for Custom Stores and Apps

Shopify development is building and extending online stores on Shopify, from theme and checkout work to custom apps and API connections to your back office. Syndell helps e-commerce managers and founders launch stores that load fast and connect to their back office, and fixes stores that lose sales to slow pages or a clunky checkout.

When Clients Call Us Urgently

If one of these sounds familiar, this is where we step in.

We start with a store audit covering speed, apps, theme code, and checkout, then give you a written plan.

Your Theme Is Slow and Crowded With Apps

Every app adds scripts. We audit which apps earn their weight, replace heavy ones with theme code, and trim third-party scripts. Slow stores lose sales at every step of the funnel.

Checkout or Cart Needs Something Shopify Does Not Do Out of the Box

Custom pricing, bundles, wholesale rules, and extra fields often need theme work, apps, or Shopify Functions. We choose the lightest way to build them, so you keep the checkout customers already trust.

Your Store and Back Office Do Not Talk to Each Other

Inventory, orders, and customers live in separate systems. We connect Shopify to your ERP, warehouse, or CRM through its APIs, with retries and error alerts. Manual re-entry costs staff hours and causes stock and order mistakes.

A Theme Update Broke the Store, or the Developer Left

Untracked edits and mystery apps make every change risky. We put the theme in version control, document the customizations, and set up a safe way to test changes, so a change no longer risks sales.

Shopify Development Services

Six kinds of Shopify store development we deliver, for new stores and existing ones.

Custom Shopify Store Development

Storefronts built from your brand and catalog: theme structure, collections, product pages, and checkout flow.

Theme and App Customization

Liquid theme edits, sections and blocks, and app setup that do not break on updates.

API Development and Integration

Custom apps and connections through Shopify’s APIs for ERP, inventory, CRM, shipping, and reporting.

Store SEO and Speed

Clean URLs, structured data, image handling, and script trimming, so the store loads fast and can be found.

Growth-Ready Commerce Features

Catalog structure, wholesale and B2B rules, multi-currency setup, and payment gateways.

Testing, Maintenance, and Support

Checkout and device testing, then updates and fixes on a monthly retainer or on demand.

Why Build Your Store on Shopify?

Hosting, Checkout, and Security Handled

Shopify runs the platform, hosting, and PCI-compliant checkout, so your team focuses on the store.

A Deep Library of Apps and Themes

Maintained apps cover reviews, subscriptions, search, and shipping, so you build only what is unique.

Built for Growth

One back office manages different sales channels, currencies, and traffic spikes.

A Fast Start

Themes and apps get a store live sooner than a custom build, and custom work then fills the gaps.

Case Studies

Kayme

eCommerce / Fashion & Apparel

Kayme does the hard part well – designing dresses people genuinely want, with a loyal following built over time. The backend wasn’t carrying its weight: Magento couldn’t scale without inviting fresh problems, and orders had to be manually reformatted for the shipping company by hand, every single time.

Enwolt

eCommerce / Electric Mobility

Enwolt does the hard part well – an authorized EU distributor of ENGWE and VARUN e-bikes, with free shipping and a one-year warranty. The website wasn’t carrying its weight: customers had real unanswered questions on legality, range, and charging, and Enwolt needed its own credibility independent of the manufacturer names.

FAQs

How Much Does Shopify Store or App Development Cost?

Cost depends on how far the store goes beyond a theme: custom design, catalog size, apps, integrations, and any custom app. A custom Shopify app costs more than theme changes. We scope each project individually and send an itemized proposal after a consultation.

How Long Does It Take to Build a Shopify Store?

A theme-based store with a small catalog takes far less time than a custom design with integrations and migrations. Design depth, catalog size, custom features, and testing set the schedule. We give a timeline after scoping, and you see progress in short review cycles.

How Will We Review the Store While It Is Being Built?

You get access to a development store where you can browse pages and place test orders. We agree overlap hours at kickoff and report through Slack, email, and video calls, with a short demo at each milestone. Syndell has offices in Middletown, Delaware, Manchester, UK, and Ahmedabad, India.

Should We Use Shopify, WooCommerce, or a Custom Store?

Choose Shopify for a fast launch and a managed platform. Choose WooCommerce when the store sits inside a WordPress site or needs full code control. Choose a custom build for unusual pricing or workflows. We build all three, so we recommend after scoping.

Can You Connect Shopify to Our ERP, Inventory, or CRM?

Yes. We connect Shopify to back-office systems through APIs and webhooks, so orders, stock, and customers stay in step. We agree which system is the source of truth for each record, then test edge cases such as returns and partial shipments.

How Do You Make a Shopify Store Faster and Easier to Find?

We audit installed apps, trim scripts, compress images, and clean up theme code. For search, we fix URLs, titles, structured data, and collection pages. Speed and SEO work is also part of our SEO services when you want ongoing help.

Do You Offer Ongoing Shopify Support?

Yes. We offer monthly retainers or on-demand help for updates, fixes, new features, and seasonal campaigns. The team that built your store supports it, so changes ship faster than with a vendor learning your theme from scratch. That also means fewer surprises when a theme or app update lands before a sale.
