FAQ

Private app or public app?

Private apps are for single-store use (your store only). Public apps can be installed by any merchant and listed on the App Store. We build both.

How long does App Store review take?

Shopify's review typically takes 1-2 weeks for new apps. We prepare all compliance requirements during development to streamline review.

Can you integrate with other services?

Yes. We regularly integrate with ERPs, CRMs, shipping providers, and other third-party APIs. We handle authentication, data mapping, and error handling.

What about ongoing maintenance?

We offer maintenance retainers that include updates for Shopify API changes, bug fixes, and feature enhancements. Pricing depends on app complexity.

Do you handle hosting?

We set up infrastructure and can manage hosting, or transfer to your team. We typically use Fly.io or Render for cost-effective, scalable hosting.
