Custom Shopify Features & App Replacement
Cart drawers, bundle builders, store locators and custom buying experiences. We develop them in-house around your brand and your operation, with the right controls in the theme editor. Replace suitable app dependencies with code your business owns.
A useful feature should fit your store
A standard app can be the right tool. When the experience, performance or operating constraints stop fitting the business, we build the feature around the actual requirement. We decide with the team before writing the first line.
A cart built to sell
Create a cart drawer with relevant upsells, country-aware shipping progress, useful messages and clear payment information. Keep the logic connected to the product, market and margin.
Custom product experiences
Bundle builders, outfit tools, product discovery and branded launch interactions. Build the buying behaviour you need, with a user experience that belongs to the brand.
Control for the team
Expose the right content and commercial settings in Shopify’s theme editor. Product, creative and ecommerce teams can run the feature without requesting a code change for every update.
An intentional app stack
Review which apps provide infrastructure and which simply render a storefront feature. Replace the suitable candidates, preserve important integrations and define ongoing ownership and maintenance.
Move the feature into your own code
Choose a feature and switch it from an app dependency into the Shopify theme. The dependency map updates with the selection. Change the monthly input to explore the recurring app spend removed; development and maintenance are scoped separately with your team.
Start with the real requirement
Map the feature, its data, integrations, edge cases and editing needs. App replacement is only useful when the custom build can support the work the business actually does.
Reuse the right foundation
Prysm is our internal library of 300+ sections and blocks, including cart, bundle and store-locator components. We use that foundation where it fits, then adapt the implementation to the brand.
Own the implementation
Keep the code in your Shopify environment with a clear handover, settings and maintenance plan. Your storefront should remain understandable and operable after the release.
Cold Culture. A custom Outfit Builder, online and in retail.
We designed and developed an interactive outfit experience for Cold Culture. Customers combine pieces and see their choices update together, with the configured bundle benefits. The same experience was used on retail touchscreens. One branded system, built around the way the customer shops.
Can you replace every Shopify app with custom code?
We assess each dependency. Theme-rendered storefront features are often good candidates. Systems such as payments, email delivery or an ERP have a different role. We recommend a custom build when its scope, ownership and maintenance make business sense.
Which custom Shopify features do you build?
Examples include cart drawers, upsells, bundle and outfit builders, store locators, collection experiences, countdown banners and branded lead-capture tools. The feature is scoped around your products, markets, integrations and team workflow.
Will our team be able to edit the feature?
Yes. We define the appropriate theme editor controls during scoping. Content, imagery and the commercial settings your team needs should be accessible without editing the underlying code for routine changes.
Does app replacement automatically make a store faster?
The implementation and the removed dependency determine the result. We inspect what the app loads, avoid duplicating functionality and measure the affected journey before and after the release. A custom feature still needs good engineering.
What is Prysm and how does it help our project?
Prysm is our internal development library with more than 300 sections and blocks. It gives our team an established foundation for suitable features, which we adapt to the client. The project still includes the requirements, integration, QA and handover it needs.
