It allows you to easily create and customize an online store and sell products on the web, mobile, social media, and even a brick and mortar storefront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, it\u2019s a complete digital platform boasting roughly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopifyandyou.com\/blogs\/news\/statistics-about-shopify\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1,000,000 active users<\/a> as of 2017, and a total revenue of over $1 billion in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I discuss the art of e-commerce and shares tips for maximizing your e-commerce marketing efforts in this video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Art of Ecommerce | The Future of Digital Marketing by Webiotic\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lbtgmI856-0?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Now, let&#8217;s take a closer look at Shopify app development and everything you need to know to get started.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why build Using Shopify?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re considering Shopify for building your business\u2019s app, then you\u2019re probably somewhat familiar with this widely popular platform, but how does it fare against its competition and why should you build using Shopify?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shopify has long been a preferred choice for sellers looking for both simplicity and rich features when managing their online store and products. Here are a few benefits that come with Shopify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/architsingh.com\/webioticnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/image4.png\" alt=\"shopify app development\" class=\"wp-image-1322\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Simple to use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike other ecommerce solutions like WooCommerce or Magento, Shopify is no-fuss and easy to setup and use for developers and non-developers alike. It provides hosting and software you need to launch your website and the admin interface is both intuitive and user friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aesthetically pleasing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Shopify makes use of a multitude of professional and modern templates to create aesthetically pleasing online stores. While it comes with bare themes to use, working with developers and designers will bring a richer <a href=\"https:\/\/uxplanet.org\/what-is-ui-vs-ux-design-and-the-difference-d9113f6612de?gi=9cd676a6f59f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UX and UI<\/a> to your visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">App Integrations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Shopify also allows you to easily customize your online store and integrate with apps, allowing the addition of extra functionality and rich features to enhance it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Secure and Reliable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When creating and managing an online store that handles sensitive user information like credit card info and personal customer details, you want it to be both secure and reliable, which Shopify embraces through constant upgrades and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fast Speeds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another benefit to using Shopify is that it has fast speeds due to their optimized software and hardware. Believe it or not, but loading time can have a <a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/loading-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">significant impact on a company\u2019s bottom line<\/a>. So it\u2019s essential to choose a hosted solution that\u2019s fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Excellent Marketing Tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Shopify also offers some marketing perks to help businesses grow. The basic Shopify version provides some nice SEO features and analytics tools. Additionally, it offers features like store statistics, discount coupons, gift cards, email marketing, and plenty more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/architsingh.com\/webioticnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/image3.png\" alt=\"Shopify app developer \" class=\"wp-image-1323\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Shopify App, Exactly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shopify apps allows businesses to offer enhanced services to their online store customers while also adding a host of other features and functionality. There are many Shopify apps that are available and which offer different functions for an online store, some of which are free and some of which are paid. Some Shopify apps can be custom-made to suit the specific needs of a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Private vs Public Apps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the first things to know when developing a Shopify app store is that there are two types: public and private apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A public app allows you to work with several stores and can be listed in the App Store. It also grants you access to many different <a href=\"https:\/\/help.shopify.com\/en\/api\/reference\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">APIs.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/architsingh.com\/webioticnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/image1.png\" alt=\"Shopify mobile app developer \" class=\"wp-image-1324\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A private app, on the other hand, only allows you to work with one store. Unlike public apps, you can\u2019t get listed in the App Store and your access to Shopify\u2019s APIs are pretty limited. You also can\u2019t have your store embedded into the Shopify Admin panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a quick look at a few of the featured API\u2019s you can integrate for more sophisticated functionality:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Application proxies: This allows you to display data on a store page from an outside location. This is great for dynamic content that will need to be updated regularly.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Charge users for your app: This allows you to bill merchants for your app. The recommended way is to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/help.shopify.com\/en\/api\/guides\/billing-api\">GraphQL Admin API<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Carrier service: You can register a new carrier (shipping) service with a variety of shipping rates. A few common carriers include FedEx, USPS, and UPS.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fulfillment service: This API lets you create, edit, and delete a fulfillment service, which is a third-party warehouse that manages (prepares and ships) orders on your behalf.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Liquid: This API lets you use the Liquid template language to load dynamic content on your storefront. This language is written in Ruby and is the backbone of many Shopify themes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Script tags: You can load remote JavaScript code into your shop\u2019s order status pages and storefront.<\/li><li>Web hooks: With web hooks, you can store and retrieve data based on various events and execute code right after they occur instead of having to make API calls.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When comparing the two Shopify app store types, there\u2019s also a technical difference. Public apps require <a href=\"https:\/\/help.shopify.com\/en\/api\/getting-started\/authentication\/oauth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OAuth<\/a>, which allows you to authenticate and get permission from users to gain access to any of the resources in the REST API. This can be a bit more complex when configuring and requires more setup. Private apps don\u2019t use OAuth but instead are authenticated by using two keys for the one shop, which is essentially a simple username and password authentication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Picking a Great Platform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the great things about Shopify is that it affords developers the freedom to build their very own, custom Shopify apps in any language they choose. To reduce the long-term costs of custom-built apps, be sure to select a hosting platform that doesn\u2019t require maintenance, such as the need to install OS patches and firewall configurations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One advantage to look for when selecting a platform is the ability to auto-scale due to Shopify\u2019s inherent ability to automatically scale based on demand. When building a Shopify app, it too should be able to scale on demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Out Postman<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re developing a Shopify app, <a href=\"https:\/\/help.shopify.com\/en\/api\/guides\/using-postman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Postman<\/a> is your friend. This helpful OSX application will allow you to test APIs using mock services\u2014a big advantage during development. Postman conveniently offers a pre-built collection for Shopify endpoints, meaning you can begin to build your Shopify app without having an instance ready for development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Programming Languages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, you may be wondering what the best programming language is to develop your Shopify App. The good news is, there are libraries offering a variety of different languages, such as Ruby, Node, and PHP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that your Shopify app will be self-hosted and so all interactions with it will happen via Shopify\u2019s REST APIs using JSON.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the easiest programming languages to get your Shopify app started with is Ruby. It\u2019s easy to learn and Shopify has solid support for the language and it\u2019s framework, Ruby on Rails, through their SDK and <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Shopify\/shopify_app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shopify_app gem<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/architsingh.com\/webioticnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/image2.png\" alt=\"shopify app development\" class=\"wp-image-1325\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shopify Polaris<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan on adding a user interface for your Shopify app, <a href=\"https:\/\/polaris.shopify.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shopify Polaris<\/a> is their design system that can help you build a great user interface (UI) that is consistent with Shopify\u2019s own UI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the perks of using Shopify Polaris is that it provides guidelines on content and visuals. Additionally, it includes a React component library which are well-documented and easy to use. Polaris will allow you to leverage JavaScript libraries like React and Redux to stay productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Log Everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One essential piece of advice when developing a Shopify app is: log everything. Shopify websites have a big impact on the revenue of a business, so it\u2019s important to have detailed and precise logs of just about everything (except for credit card numbers) so that you can quickly troubleshoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a customer experiencing an issue, it will be far easier to identify and fix it with detailed log information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with the 2,000+ Shopify apps available, there might be a need to develop a custom app and work with Shopify\u2019s powerful built-in APIs, which involves a lot, but it\u2019s a good thing. Don\u2019t just settle for what\u2019s available. Shopify is a powerful platform because it permits you full control and customizability for your shop, which encourages developers to continue publishing new apps to their app store every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building an online store can get complex.

It allows you to easily create and customize an online store and sell products on the web, mobile, social media, and even a brick and mortar storefront.<\/p><p>Basically, it\u2019s a complete digital platform boasting roughly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopifyandyou.com\/blogs\/news\/statistics-about-shopify\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1,000,000 active users<\/a> as of 2017, and a total revenue of over $1 billion in 2018.<\/p><p><strong>Let\u2019s take a closer look at Shopify app development and everything you need to know to get started.<\/strong><\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1322\" src=\"https:\/\/architsingh.com\/webioticnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image4.png\" alt=\"shopify app development\" width=\"1720\" height=\"930\" \/><\/p><h2>Why build Using Shopify?<\/h2><p>If you\u2019re considering Shopify for building your business\u2019s app, then you\u2019re probably somewhat familiar with this widely popular platform, but how does it fare against its competition and why should you build using Shopify?<\/p><p>Shopify has long been a preferred choice for sellers looking for both simplicity and rich features when managing their online store and products. Here are a few benefits that come with Shopify:<\/p><h3>Simple to use<\/h3><p>Unlike other ecommerce solutions like WooCommerce or Magento, Shopify is no-fuss and easy to setup and use for developers and non-developers alike. It provides hosting and software you need to launch your website and the admin interface is both intuitive and user friendly.<\/p><h3>Aesthetically pleasing<\/h3><p>Shopify makes use of a multitude of professional and modern templates to create aesthetically pleasing online stores. While it comes with bare themes to use, working with developers and designers will bring a richer <a href=\"https:\/\/uxplanet.org\/what-is-ui-vs-ux-design-and-the-difference-d9113f6612de?gi=9cd676a6f59f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UX and UI<\/a> to your visitors.<\/p><h3>App Integrations<\/h3><p>Shopify also allows you to easily customize your online store and integrate with apps, allowing the addition of extra functionality and rich features to enhance it.<\/p><h3>Secure and Reliable<\/h3><p>When creating and managing an online store that handles sensitive user information like credit card info and personal customer details, you want it to be both secure and reliable, which Shopify embraces through constant upgrades and maintenance.<\/p><h3>Fast Speeds<\/h3><p>Another benefit to using Shopify is that it has fast speeds due to their optimized software and hardware. Believe it or not, but loading time can have a <a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/loading-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">significant impact on a company\u2019s bottom line<\/a>. So it\u2019s essential to choose a hosted solution that\u2019s fast.<\/p><h3>Excellent Marketing Tools<\/h3><p>Shopify also offers some marketing perks to help businesses grow. The basic Shopify version provides some nice SEO features and analytics tools. Additionally, it offers features like store statistics, discount coupons, gift cards, email marketing, and plenty more.<\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1323\" src=\"https:\/\/architsingh.com\/webioticnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image3.png\" alt=\"Shopify app developer \" width=\"1742\" height=\"890\" \/><\/p><h2>What is a Shopify App, Exactly?<\/h2><p>Shopify apps allows businesses to offer enhanced services to their online store customers while also adding a host of other features and functionality. There are many Shopify apps that are available and which offer different functions for an online store, some of which are free and some of which are paid. Some Shopify apps can be custom-made to suit the specific needs of a business.<\/p><h2>Private vs Public Apps<\/h2><p>One of the first things to know when developing a Shopify app store is that there are two types: public and private apps.<\/p><p>A public app allows you to work with several stores and can be listed in the App Store. It also grants you access to many different <a href=\"https:\/\/help.shopify.com\/en\/api\/reference\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">APIs.<\/a><\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1324\" src=\"https:\/\/architsingh.com\/webioticnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image1.png\" alt=\"Shopify mobile app developer \" width=\"1666\" height=\"870\" \/><\/p><p>A private app, on the other hand, only allows you to work with one store. Unlike public apps, you can\u2019t get listed in the App Store and your access to Shopify\u2019s APIs are pretty limited. You also can\u2019t have your store embedded into the Shopify Admin panel.<\/p><p>Here is a quick look at a few of the featured API\u2019s you can integrate for more sophisticated functionality:<\/p><ul><li>Application proxies: This allows you to display data on a store page from an outside location. This is great for dynamic content that will need to be updated regularly.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li>Charge users for your app: This allows you to bill merchants for your app. The recommended way is to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/help.shopify.com\/en\/api\/guides\/billing-api\">GraphQL Admin API<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li>Carrier service: You can register a new carrier (shipping) service with a variety of shipping rates. A few common carriers include FedEx, USPS, and UPS.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li>Fulfillment service: This API lets you create, edit, and delete a fulfillment service, which is a third-party warehouse that manages (prepares and ships) orders on your behalf.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li>Liquid: This API lets you use the Liquid template language to load dynamic content on your storefront. This language is written in Ruby and is the backbone of many Shopify themes.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li>Script tags: You can load remote JavaScript code into your shop\u2019s order status pages and storefront.<\/li><li>Web hooks: With web hooks, you can store and retrieve data based on various events and execute code right after they occur instead of having to make API calls.<\/li><\/ul><p>When comparing the two Shopify app store types, there\u2019s also a technical difference. Public apps require <a href=\"https:\/\/help.shopify.com\/en\/api\/getting-started\/authentication\/oauth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OAuth<\/a>, which allows you to authenticate and get permission from users to gain access to any of the resources in the REST API. This can be a bit more complex when configuring and requires more setup. Private apps don\u2019t use OAuth but instead are authenticated by using two keys for the one shop, which is essentially a simple username and password authentication.<\/p><h2>Picking a Great Platform<\/h2><p>One of the great things about Shopify is that it affords developers the freedom to build their very own, custom Shopify apps in any language they choose. To reduce the long-term costs of custom-built apps, be sure to select a hosting platform that doesn\u2019t require maintenance, such as the need to install OS patches and firewall configurations.<\/p><p>One advantage to look for when selecting a platform is the ability to auto-scale due to Shopify\u2019s inherent ability to automatically scale based on demand. When building a Shopify app, it too should be able to scale on demand.<\/p><h2>Check Out Postman<\/h2><p>If you\u2019re developing a Shopify app, <a href=\"https:\/\/help.shopify.com\/en\/api\/guides\/using-postman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Postman<\/a> is your friend. This helpful OSX application will allow you to test APIs using mock services\u2014a big advantage during development. Postman conveniently offers a pre-built collection for Shopify endpoints, meaning you can begin to build your Shopify app without having an instance ready for development.<\/p><h2>Programming Languages<\/h2><p>At this point, you may be wondering what the best programming language is to develop your Shopify App. The good news is, there are libraries offering a variety of different languages, such as Ruby, Node, and PHP.<\/p><p>Keep in mind that your Shopify app will be self-hosted and so all interactions with it will happen via Shopify\u2019s REST APIs using JSON.<\/p><p>One of the easiest programming languages to get your Shopify app started with is Ruby. It\u2019s easy to learn and Shopify has solid support for the language and it\u2019s framework, Ruby on Rails, through their SDK and <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Shopify\/shopify_app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shopify_app gem<\/a>.<\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1325\" src=\"https:\/\/architsingh.com\/webioticnew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image2.png\" alt=\"shopify app development\" width=\"1828\" height=\"982\" \/><\/p><h3>Shopify Polaris<\/h3><p>If you plan on adding a user interface for your Shopify app, <a href=\"https:\/\/polaris.shopify.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shopify Polaris<\/a> is their design system that can help you build a great user interface (UI) that is consistent with Shopify\u2019s own UI.<\/p><p>One of the perks of using Shopify Polaris is that it provides guidelines on content and visuals. Additionally, it includes a React component library which are well-documented and easy to use. Polaris will allow you to leverage JavaScript libraries like React and Redux to stay productive.<\/p><h2>Log Everything<\/h2><p>One essential piece of advice when developing a Shopify app is: log everything. Shopify websites have a big impact on the revenue of a business, so it\u2019s important to have detailed and precise logs of just about everything (except for credit card numbers) so that you can quickly troubleshoot.<\/p><p>If you have a customer experiencing an issue, it will be far easier to identify and fix it with detailed log information.<\/p><h2>Conclusion<\/h2><p>Even with the 2,000+ Shopify apps available, there might be a need to develop a custom app and work with Shopify\u2019s powerful built-in APIs, which involves a lot, but it\u2019s a good thing. Don\u2019t just settle for what\u2019s available. Shopify is a powerful platform because it permits you full control and customizability for your shop, which encourages developers to continue publishing new apps to their app store every day.<\/p><p>Hopefully this has served as a high-level overview of some of the moving parts involved in Shopify App development so you feel empowered to get started.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[20,17],"tags":[52,51],"class_list":["post-1321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-app-development","category-ecommerce-web-design","tag-ecom","tag-shopify"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Shopify App Development - Everything You Need to Know<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Let\u2019s take a closer look at Shopify app development and everything you need to know to get started.
