I’m looking for an experienced Shopify app developer to help me take an existing Shopify app from “early foundation” to a fully production-ready, App Store-approved product.
This is not a beginner project. I’m looking for someone who understands Shopify apps deeply, including theme injection, sections, billing, plans, and App Store requirements and dev.
I already have the base:
– App created and installed
– Backend logic partially built
– Connectivity set up (Gadget)
– Some UI, tables, and flows already exist
What’s missing is making everything solid, clean, bug-free, and scalable, so the app works exactly as intended and can be published publicly.
What the app does (core functionality)
The app is essentially a Themes & Sections Library for Shopify stores.
After installing the app, a merchant should be able to:
– Browse different libraries (Themes, Sections, Templates)
– Install Shopify sections directly into their existing theme
– Install full Shopify themes, which must:
– Be injected automatically
– Be published (or clearly selectable)
– Reflect correctly inside the app UI
Everything must stay in sync with the app state.
Plans & permissions (very important)
The app uses 3 subscription plans.
– Starter (default / entry plan)
– Can install 1 section
– Can install 1 theme
– Only from the Starter category
– Higher plans unlock:
– More sections
– More themes
– More categories
The app must:
– Enforce limits correctly
– Prevent access when limits are reached
– Reflect permissions clearly in the UI
– Handle upgrades/downgrades cleanly
Mandatory requirements (non-negotiable)
– 100% Shopify App Store compliant
– Proper Shopify Billing API usage
– No broken installs, no half states
– Seamless UX (no “nothing happens” actions)
– Clean error handling and logging
– Stable install / uninstall behavior
– Works across multiple themes per store
– Production-ready, not demo-level
Technical expectations
You should be comfortable with:
– Shopify App architecture
– Theme & section injection
– Shopify Billing (subscriptions)
– App permissions & scopes
– Polaris / App UI logic
– Backend logic that doesn’t break under real users
The goal is a real product, not a prototype.
Long-term collaboration
I’m explicitly looking for:
– Someone I can work with long-term
– Ongoing improvements, new features, refinements
– A developer who thinks like a product engineer, not just a task finisher
I also need:
– A simple, clear explanation of how I can later add:
– New sections
– New themes
– New categories
without breaking the system
Documentation or a short walkthrough is enough — it just needs to be understandable.
When applying, please include
– Shopify apps you’ve built or worked on
– Experience with theme/section injection
– Whether you’ve published apps to the Shopify App Store
– How you approach stability and App Store approval
If you’re the right person, this won’t be a one-off job.
I’m building a serious product and want someone who cares about quality.
