Shopify Project Types
A simple Shopify development project would be a project with a relatively small catalog, say, no more than a few hundred SKUs, with a single fulfillment location, standard shipping rules through common carriers, and design requirements that can be satisfied using Shopify's Liquid themes.
This project will take advantage of Shopify's built-in marketing tools and might have an integration or two that can be implemented using marketplace apps.
There will be room to grow, but we're looking to get this project designed, developed, and launched in 3 months or less. So let's get started!
A complex Shopify development project will have many thousands of SKUs that require a high degree of organization. Significant time will be spent planning how customers will conveniently navigate, and administrators will effectively manage such a vast catalog.
This project might also have multiple inventory locations... retail locations for pickup and warehouse locations for shipping. We will need to discuss and plan how inventory levels should affect shipping and pickup availability and lead times.
You might also need multiple integrations with 3rd party systems... for marketing, analytics, store locations, inventory, and order management.
This project's design requirements might be satisfied by classic Shopify Liquid theming, but perhaps a headless solution with Hydrogen is more appropriate.
Does this project type sound more like you? We know what you need, so contact us!
Perhaps you already have a site and you're looking to have developed a custom Shopify app to implement some functionality you can't find anywhere in the marketplace.
We've got you covered here too. Whether using Shopify Functions, Checkout UI Extensions, or any of Shopify's numerous available APIs, we can craft the app you need to achieve your functional goals.
Perhaps you have data systems that you need more tightly integrated with your existing Shopify site. That will be no problem for Endertech.
We have built and deployed numerous middleware systems that broker information to and from Shopify from various databases, software systems, and APIs.
We can craft unique solutions for any platform. Just point us to the data you have, and point us to where you want it to be... and let us do the plumbing.
If you're reading this bullet point, you may know that "headless" is the future of advanced e-commerce for growing enterprises.
"Headless" technology basically means full control over your site's frontend experience using foundational tools, like ReactJS, to integrate with e-commerce APIs such as those that Shopify provides.
Shopify treats headless like a first class citizen with the release of their own headless e-commerce framework, named "Hydrogen", which is built off the ReactJS general framework called Remix.
We have deep experience with Shopify Hydrogen having been early adopters. If you know you want your next site to be headless... or even if you're just headless curious... give us a call and learn the pros and cons.
And lastly... maybe you just need a savvy hand available to help support your existing site.
A theme adjustment here... a metafield there... some shipping rules... a marketing integration... and a bit of consultation.
We are here for you too, with different retainer plans that put experienced developers just an email away.
A Complete Shopify Partner Agency
The fact that Shopify makes so many things easy lets a lot of organizations get started quickly and cheaply.
This is great to bootstrap a startup or test a business idea. However, if your business grows, you may soon find yourself outgrowing your setup.
It's not that Shopify can't handle your situation, it's that sometimes, less experienced developers don't properly organize critical features of Shopify with the future in mind.
Maybe you want to add in-store pickup, but your inventory isn't quite working as expected. Maybe your catalog has grown, but search and filtering is not as capable as you had expected. Maybe you've develop a back office system to help your warehouse be more efficient, and now you need to integrate order processing.
These are examples of situations we've encountered before, and these are examples where our experience as both Shopify developers and custom software developers really shines through.
We've spent countless hours consulting and discussing with clients about their business and logistical requirements, and then designing software solutions to achieve them.
So if you find yourself somehow painted into a corner with your Shopify site, or, you just know you want your new site built with the future in mind right from the start, contact Endertech.
Shopify Site Development Process
All great relationships begin with attentive listening, and that's how our relationship will begin as we invite you to share your current situation, your challenges, and your goals.
Your catalog is the heart of your site, and we will take the time to learn it intimately, so that we can help structure it wisely. This is a critical step that sets us up for success, so that your customers can find what they're looking for, and so that all backend systems work smoothly.
Of course a complete e-commerce system will include backend logistics that help ensure customers receive what they've ordered as quickly and efficiently as possible. Many times, the success of these systems is tied to how well your software system integrate.
Once we understand your goals, your catalog, and your logistical systems, we can design you a complete e-commerce system that includes your frontend, of course, and also your catalog's data structure plus any backend logistical systems or integrations, whether those involve configuring existing systems or developing custom software.
And with our blueprints in hand, we can build and deliver. Using an agile process that incrementally delivers progress you can see every two weeks, we will build your complete e-commerce solution piece by piece.
And of course, we're here for the long haul. We are no fly-by-night agency... with a 20+ year history, we've literally had clients for decades.
