Private app or public App Store app?

If it's just for your store, a private app is simpler and cheaper. If you want to sell it to other merchants, it's a public app with billing and review requirements. I build both and will tell you which fits.

Yes, for custom work the code is yours, in your repo. You're never locked to me to keep it running.

Where does it get hosted?

Custom apps run on a small cloud host, typically DigitalOcean. Set up in your account or mine, costs kept low, documented so it's never a mystery.

Can you fix or extend an app I already have?

If it's yours or you have the source, yes. I'll pick up an existing codebase, fix what's broken and add what's missing.

How much does an app cost?

It depends on scope. A focused private app is a very different number from a public App Store product. You get a fixed quote after we scope it.

Custom Shopify app development from Salt Lake City, Utah.

If you are a Shopify brand in Salt Lake City, Lehi, Provo or anywhere along the Silicon Slopes corridor, you can hire a Shopify app developer who is local and who has shipped apps to the Shopify App Store. I scope with you on a call and build remotely, which is how brands across the U.S. work with me too.
