Shopify & Shopify Plus Development

Shopify development services, with senior Plus depth on every build.

Checkout customization, custom apps, and integrations are where stock Shopify builds stall, and where most agencies quietly hand the hard parts to juniors. We are senior Shopify and Shopify Plus engineers who build custom themes, checkout extensibility, apps, and Hydrogen storefronts for brands doing real revenue. Sixteen years in ecommerce, 300+ brands, no junior bench.

Why brands come to us

When your catalog, traffic, or roadmap has outgrown the theme.

Stores stall for the same reasons: a theme nobody wants to touch, an app stack that drags every page, a checkout that leaks revenue, and a backlog that never moves. We are the Shopify development company brands call when the off-the-shelf phase is over and the build has to be done right. As a senior team with Shopify Plus partner depth, we pair real engineering with commerce strategy, so the work ships and the numbers follow. When the goal is the full platform jump, our Shopify Plus agency team carries it end to end.

Build on Shopify or Plus

We build on Shopify and Shopify Plus.

Most development is identical across plans: themes, apps, Hydrogen, and integrations. Plus changes one thing that matters to engineers, the checkout. We build to the same standard on either, and steer you to Plus only when the work genuinely requires it.

Shopify

On standard Shopify we build custom themes, apps, Hydrogen headless storefronts, and integrations. The checkout stays Shopify-managed, which is fine for the large majority of stores.

Best when
  • You want a custom build without Plus
  • Headless or theme work, standard checkout
  • Apps and integrations cover your logic
Shopify Plus

On Plus we add checkout extensibility and Shopify Functions, so we can customize the checkout, shipping, discounts, and B2B flows that standard plans do not expose, with higher API limits.

Best when
  • You need a customized checkout
  • Shopify Functions or scripts are required
  • B2B or high API volume is in scope

Why IWD

The same senior developers from kickoff to launch and beyond.

Most Shopify projects go sideways for one of two reasons: the work gets passed to a junior team, or the agency vanishes once the invoice clears. We built IWD to do the opposite.

  • Shopify Plus partner depth

    We work at the platform level: checkout extensibility, Functions, Hydrogen, and the latest admin and Storefront APIs. Your store is built by Shopify developers who know where the real gains hide.

  • Senior team, no junior bench

    You work with the engineers doing the work. We do not hand your build to a training program and disappear once the store goes live.

  • Sixteen years in ecommerce

    We have shipped on Shopify, Shopify Plus, and every major commerce platform since 2008, across high-volume DTC, enterprise B2B, and complex multi-market catalogs.

  • We build, then we stay

    Most clients keep us on after launch for performance, features, and growth. The team that built your store is the team that keeps making it perform.

How we work

A clear path from audit to measurable results.

01

Audit

We review your theme, app stack, and analytics to map what is slowing the store down and what is worth building next.

02

Architect

A phased roadmap with scope, timeline, and a real number. You see the plan and the priorities before any code is written.

03

Build

Two-week sprints, weekly demos, and a shared backlog. The same senior developers ship to Shopify standards every cycle.

04

Optimize

After launch we tune performance, run conversion experiments, and extend the roadmap. We stay to make the numbers move.

Questions, answered

What merchants ask before they hire our Shopify developers.

Do you work on Shopify, Shopify Plus, or both?

Both. We build on standard Shopify and on Shopify Plus, and we help brands move up to Plus when their volume, B2B needs, or checkout requirements call for it. We work on new builds, inherited stores, and existing themes that need real engineering.

Can you take over a Shopify store another agency or freelancer built?

Yes, and it is one of the most common ways clients start with us. We run a theme and app audit first, document what we find in plain language, then give you a prioritized plan before we touch anything.

Can you build a Hydrogen or headless Shopify storefront?

Yes. We build headless storefronts on Hydrogen and Oxygen, and custom front ends on the Storefront API, keeping Shopify as the commerce engine while the experience layer is fully yours. We will also tell you honestly when a well-built Liquid theme is the smarter call.

How do you scope and quote a Shopify project?

Every engagement is scoped to your store: catalog size, apps, integrations, the number of markets, and the work involved. You get a firm, itemized quote on the first call, with no long sales cycle, so you know exactly what you are committing to before anything begins.

Can we hire your Shopify developers as an embedded team?

Yes. Alongside fixed-scope projects and retainers, we offer an embedded model where senior Shopify developers work as an extension of your in-house team without the hiring overhead.

Do you handle custom checkout, B2B, and Markets?

Yes. We build with checkout extensibility on Shopify Plus, set up B2B with company accounts and catalogs, and configure Markets for cross-border selling. It is the same senior team across all of it.
