## Built for businesses with several storefronts

This is what custom development looks like when a growing business outgrows basic storefront themes. We build and maintain purpose-built stores that fit how your business works and connect to the systems behind them.

Instead of forcing every customer into the same storefront, we build separate storefronts for different customer groups: a flagship DTC storefront, a business-facing app, a wholesale portal, a retail operation. We also build custom apps and optimize checkout flows to handle complex products, pricing, customer rules and backend processes while keeping the buying experience simple.

## Custom Shopify App Development

When the Shopify App Store does not have what you need, we build it. Custom apps that integrate with your existing systems, automate workflows, and extend Shopify beyond its default capabilities.

Our app development covers admin extensions, checkout customizations, and third-party integrations.

## B2B and Wholesale Commerce

Shopify Plus includes B2B commerce features. We build wholesale portals with tiered pricing, custom catalogs, net payment terms, and approval workflows. For brands that sell both direct-to-consumer and business-to-business, we configure Shopify to handle both without forcing either audience into a checkout flow designed for the other.

## Checkout and Payment Optimization

The checkout is where revenue happens. We customize Shopify checkout flows for specific business needs: custom fields, shipping logic, payment method routing, and post-purchase flows.
