Off-the-shelf apps create limitations. When your store needs functionality that doesn't exist in the Shopify App Store, Jhango builds it from scratch. We've delivered 120+ custom Shopify apps — public, private, and embedded — for brands that refuse to compromise on functionality.
Our apps are built with clean architecture, comprehensive testing, and full documentation. We follow Shopify's latest API standards and build for scale, ensuring your app performs flawlessly whether you have 100 or 100,000 daily users.

We build all types of Shopify apps including custom private apps, public apps for the Shopify App Store, embedded admin apps using Shopify App Bridge, storefront extensions, checkout UI extensions, and webhook-driven background processors. Whether you need a loyalty program, subscription engine, inventory management tool, or a complex multi-step workflow automation — we've built it. Our team is proficient in Node.js, React, Remix, and the full Shopify API ecosystem.
Timeline depends on complexity. A simple private app with one core function typically takes 2-4 weeks. Mid-complexity embedded apps with admin UI and storefront components take 4-8 weeks. Enterprise-grade apps with complex integrations, real-time sync, and multi-tenant architecture can take 8-16 weeks. We always provide a detailed timeline during our scoping phase, and we work in agile sprints with weekly demos so you can track progress.
Yes, 100%. Unlike app store subscriptions where you're renting someone else's software, custom apps built by Jhango are fully owned by you. You receive the complete source code, documentation, and deployment guides. You can modify, extend, or hand it off to another team at any time. We believe in building assets for your business, not dependencies on ours.
Absolutely. Third-party integrations are one of the most common reasons brands need custom Shopify apps. We've built integrations with SAP, NetSuite, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, custom ERPs, warehouse management systems, and dozens of proprietary APIs. Our apps handle real-time bidirectional data sync, error handling, retry logic, and comprehensive logging to ensure reliable data flow between systems.
We use Shopify's recommended modern stack: Remix (or Node.js/Express) for the backend, React with Polaris for the embedded admin UI, and Shopify App Bridge for seamless integration. For databases, we use PostgreSQL or MongoDB depending on the use case. Apps are deployed on scalable cloud infrastructure (AWS or Vercel) with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and monitoring built in from day one.
Yes. Shopify regularly updates its APIs and platform, and your app needs to stay current. We offer maintenance plans that include API version upgrades, bug fixes, security patches, performance monitoring, and feature enhancements. Our team proactively monitors Shopify's changelog and ensures your app stays compliant and functional with every platform update.
Yes, we've built and launched multiple public apps on the Shopify App Store. We handle everything from development to Shopify's app review submission process, including compliance with their latest partner requirements, OAuth flow implementation, GDPR webhooks, and App Store listing optimization. If you have a SaaS idea built on Shopify, we can bring it to market.
Yes, this is one of our most popular services. Many merchants use third-party apps that are bloated, slow, or limited in customization. We build lightweight custom replacements that do exactly what you need without the performance overhead, monthly subscription fees, or generic UI. A custom app typically pays for itself within 6-12 months through eliminated subscription costs and improved store performance.
Security is built into every app we develop. We follow Shopify's security best practices including OAuth 2.0 authentication, encrypted data storage, GDPR-compliant data handling, and secure webhook verification. All API communications use HTTPS, and we implement rate limiting, input validation, and session management to protect against common vulnerabilities. Our apps undergo security review as part of the Shopify app submission process.
Absolutely. We build Shopify apps that serve as integration bridges between your store and external systems like SAP, NetSuite, Salesforce, HubSpot, and custom enterprise platforms. The app handles data transformation, sync scheduling, error handling, and monitoring in a centralized interface within your Shopify admin. This approach is often more reliable and maintainable than standalone middleware solutions.
A custom Shopify app runs as a standalone application with its own backend, database, and admin interface. Theme app extensions are frontend components that inject UI elements into the storefront using Shopify's app blocks system. Many of our projects use both: a custom app for the backend logic and admin interface, plus theme app extensions for the storefront-facing components. This architecture follows Shopify's recommended patterns and ensures maximum compatibility.
Simple custom apps with focused functionality take 3-4 weeks to build. Mid-complexity apps with admin interfaces, webhook integrations, and theme extensions take 6-8 weeks. Enterprise apps with complex business logic, multi-system integrations, and extensive testing take 10-16 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline and milestone plan during the scoping phase so you know exactly what to expect and when each deliverable will be ready.
When off-the-shelf apps don't cut it, we build exactly what you need. Our private Shopify apps solve your unique business challenges — from custom workflow automation to proprietary integrations that give you an unfair advantage.
Turn your idea into a revenue-generating Shopify app. We handle everything from architecture and development to App Store submission, listing optimization, and merchant onboarding — getting you approved and earning on day one.
