SHOPIFY DEVELOPMENT
Make Shopify work with the rest of your business
Your Shopify store may be only one part of a much larger operation. We build integrations and connected platforms that help Shopify exchange data with the other systems your business relies on, from vendor-management tools to custom dashboards and operational applications.
Selected work
Ayzel — a vendor platform connected to Shopify
The solution illustrates our approach to API integration, connected data and custom platform development beyond the storefront itself.
How it works
Connect the store. Coordinate the systems.
Map the systems and data
We identify which systems need to communicate, what information must move between them and how that information should be used.
Which systems talk, what moves between them and how it is used.
Design the integration
We define the required API connections, data structures, update rules and error-handling behaviour.
API connections, data structures, update rules and error handling, defined.
Build and synchronise
We implement the integration and any supporting dashboards or platforms needed to make the connected workflow useful.

Test before deployment
We use Shopify developer and sandbox environments where appropriate to verify the agreed integration scenarios before connecting to the live store.

FAQ
Common questions
Do you develop Shopify themes or focus on integrations?
This service is primarily focused on Shopify APIs, connected business systems and custom platforms. Storefront changes or broader store development can be discussed during scoping to determine the appropriate approach.
What information can be synchronised?
That depends on the Shopify APIs, permissions, data model and connected systems involved. We establish the required objects, fields, update frequency and direction of data movement before development.
Do you test integrations against a live store?
We use developer or sandbox environments first where the relevant functionality supports them. The live connection is planned after the agreed test scenarios have been checked.
Will the integration work with our existing software?
We first assess the available APIs, authentication requirements, data formats and constraints of the existing software. The quotation will identify the proposed integration approach and any relevant dependencies.
