Shopify App development services: private and public apps

Despite the launch of the Shopify store itself, there is still a lot of place to grow and ways to do it. One of which is integration of all sorts of apps and services into your store. Our custom Shopify apps leverage advanced APIs to achieve complex functionality. We build apps that manage data, integrate third parties, and build a more customized front-end experience for your customers.

Shopify private app development

Voodoo Ecom Agency used to provide Shopify private app development when private apps were an option, but not that long ago, they were deprecated.

Unlike Shopify public apps that are available at the Shopify app store and can be used by any business, private apps are created for your store only and are supposed to work only with it. Still, it’s already not an option for today’s businesses as Shopify private apps were deprecated in January 2022. It’s not a big drama as you can opt for custom apps that are also designed exclusively for your store, but in contrast to Shopify private app developers, custom Shopify app developers don’t need to get access to your Shopify admin panel and API.

Shopify API integration services

Shopify API integration services may be useful to your business if you want to connect helpful third-party applications to your shop. For instance, you might need to integrate CRM systems, ERP solutions, or payment gateways that haven’t dedicated downloadable apps for Shopify. Such solutions could assist your business greatly, and our team can conduct the required integration painlessly. Our cloud-based integrations are secure, reliable, and scalable.
