Hi, I'm Eliot.I build custom Shopify apps when off-the-shelf products can't do the job.

If you know what Shopify needs to do next, I can help you work out what’s missing and what’s worth building. See a Shopify app I built

Bring me in when

Shopify does most of it. Something important still doesn’t fit.

  1. You can’t find the app you need.

    There’s a feature you need in Shopify, and the apps you’ve looked at don’t cover it.

  2. An app gets you most of the way there.

    It handles the standard cases, but your team still has to work around a requirement it wasn’t designed for.

  3. An important job is still done by hand.

    Someone has to check orders, update a spreadsheet or prepare documents each time. You want that work to be easier to run and check.

  4. Shopify needs to work with another system.

    Your team needs orders, stock or other information to move reliably between Shopify and the tools you already use.

Shopify work in practice

Client project

A Shopify-to-warehouse connector for Unimatic Watches.

I built the link between Shopify and ShippyPro, handling customs paperwork, preorders, tracking and financial reporting in one app.

The connector is in live use. The team can see which orders are ready for the warehouse, which preorders are waiting for release and which orders need attention. Some carrier-specific follow-up remains.

How I’d approach it

  1. Understand the requirement. I’ll ask what needs to happen, who does it today and where it gets difficult.

  2. Check what’s already available. A Shopify setting or an existing app may cover the need. If it does, I’ll tell you.

  3. Define the gap and estimate the work. If custom work makes sense, I’ll explain what I’d build first and estimate the work before you decide whether to go ahead.

  4. Build, test and hand over. I test and document the app with the people who will use it. You own the client-specific work I build for you and control the accounts it needs.

Tell me what’s missing.

Tell me what you need Shopify to do and where you’re getting stuck. We can talk it through even if you’re still working out what to build. The initial consultation is free.
