Map the workflow
We follow the existing task and define the app's inputs, actions and system boundaries.
Confirm which system owns stock and how conflicts should be resolved.

We follow the existing task and define the app's inputs, actions and system boundaries.

Agreed scope · dependencies · acceptance criteria
We specify the merchant screens and the data each connection needs.
Approve the screens and access scope; provide test-system access.
We build the app and test normal, repeated and failed operations against the agreed workflow.
Have the operating team review representative records and exceptions.
We deploy the agreed app and establish who runs it after release.
Confirm the operating owner and whether ongoing support is required.
Planning options, not a fixed package. Features and handover are agreed for your project.
The main factors are the merchant workflows, screens, integrations, data migration and testing needed for the agreed app. Distribution also matters: an app for a specific business and an app offered to a wider merchant audience have different requirements. Confirm API access, representative records, integration owners and the acceptance process before setting milestones. Allow for platform requirements and review dependencies where they apply; Shopify controls its approval process, so approval or review dates cannot be guaranteed. Hosting and ongoing API maintenance should be scoped separately.
We compare existing options against the actual workflow, data access, integration needs and ongoing cost. Custom development makes sense when there is a specific gap worth owning.
Yes, subject to the target system’s available interfaces. We define the source of truth, identifiers, failure handling and reconciliation before building the connection.
Permissions are mapped to the agreed features and reviewed with your team. We avoid requesting access that the implementation does not need.
Distribution changes the implementation and review requirements. We agree whether the app is for your business or a broader merchant audience and check the current platform requirements before scoping release.
Hosting, credentials, monitoring, incident ownership and API maintenance are assigned in the handover. An ongoing support engagement can be agreed separately.
Only when checkout behaviour is explicitly in scope and supported by the store’s setup. An operations app can work entirely behind the storefront.
