    Shopify App FAQ

    Public vs. Private Shopify Applications: Which technical path is right for our brand?

    A public app is listed on the Shopify App Store and can be installed by any global merchant. A private (or custom) app is engineered specifically for your store to handle unique internal workflows, complex API integrations with your proprietary software, or specific data requirements that off-the-shelf public apps cannot fulfill.

    How do you ensure the application doesn't negatively impact our store's loading speed?

    We follow Shopify's strict 'Performance-First' engineering standards. We leverage Shopify App Bridge for the admin UI and Theme App Extensions for the storefront. This ensures your custom code only loads when technically needed and never interferes with your store's critical Core Web Vitals.

    Can you help our team migrate legacy data into Shopify via a custom app?

    Yes. We build robust data migration applications using Shopify's Bulk Operations and GraphQL APIs to move thousands of products, customers, and complex orders from your legacy systems into Shopify securely and with absolute data accuracy.

    Do you handle the complete Shopify App Store review process for public applications?

    Absolutely. For public apps, we manage the entire submission lifecycle. We ensure your app meets all of Shopify's rigorous technical, security, and UX requirements before submission to eliminate the risk of rejection and ensure a managed, successful global launch.

    How do you technically maintain the app when Shopify updates its core API?

    Shopify releases new API versions every quarter. We offer managed technical maintenance plans to proactively update your app's code to the latest stable version, ensuring your global merchant operations are never interrupted by platform-level changes.

    Quick answer

    Shopify app development covers two very different products: private apps (built for your store alone, no Shopify review required) and public apps (listed on the Shopify App Store, requiring Partner compliance, OAuth 2.0, Billing API, and Polaris UI standards). Most merchants need a private app — an ERP connector, a custom loyalty engine, or a fulfilment integration specific to their 3PL. A private Shopify app in India costs ₹80,000–₹2.5 lakh and takes 4–8 weeks. Confirm with your developer: are you building a private app or a public app? The technical requirements, review timeline, and cost are completely different.

    By the numbers

    ₹80,000–₹8 lakh

    Shopify app development cost in India — ₹80k–₹2.5 lakh for a private app (ERP sync, custom fulfilment, loyalty); ₹3–₹8 lakh for a public app with Shopify Partner review, OAuth, Billing API, and App Store listing

    4–12 weeks

    Shopify app development timeline in India — 4–6 weeks for a private app; 8–12 weeks for a public app including Shopify review cycle (add 2–4 weeks for review if this is your first submission)

    Private vs Public Shopify App — Technical Requirements

    The type of Shopify app determines the entire technical and compliance scope
    RequirementPrivate AppPublic App (App Store)
    Shopify Partner reviewNot required — install directly on your storeRequired — Shopify reviews code, UX, and compliance before listing
    OAuth 2.0Not required — uses API key/secretRequired — merchants install via OAuth flow
    Shopify Billing APINot required — you control accessRequired — must charge subscriptions via Shopify's built-in billing
    Polaris UI complianceNot required — can use any frontendRequired — embedded app UI must use Shopify Polaris components
    Typical build time (India)4–6 weeks8–12 weeks (plus 2–4 weeks Shopify review)
    Most merchants asking for a Shopify app need a private app — not a public one. Understanding the difference before scoping saves 3–4 months of unnecessary Partner compliance work and ₹2–₹5 lakh in build cost.
