Shopify is a popular online e-commerce platform that small businesses can use to build online stores to sell products on websites or via social media. The company also sells point-of-sale, or POS, software that small businesses can use in their brick-and-mortar stores.

- Add a Buy button. You can embed a product card and checkout on a social media platform or other website.
- Sell through multiple sales channels such as Amazon, Ebay Google Shopping and many more market places. You don’t have to sell your products just on your own website. You can use Shopify to list products on Google, eBay, Walmart, TikTok, Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram and other sites.

Who uses Shopify?
Since most of its unique features are primarily relevant to online sales, Shopify is best suited for business owners who do most or all of their business online.
Also, if your business model particularly benefits from customers making frequent repeat purchases, Shopify’s add-on features could make those purchases easier and faster for them, which could boost customer loyalty and reduce the number of abandoned carts.

Technical Discovery
Assessing the app’s technical requirements
Before we start working on a project, we first need to understand what you need to achieve and where it will be pulling data. This step allows us to identify the technology that will be used to deliver the app. During the development phase, technical discovery is carried out as part of the strategy.
Planning
Preparing for success
We plan for the various features that will be needed in the app, as well as the data integrations that will be required. If we’re developing the app, we work closely with the information architects and designers to ensure that the user experience is designed to meet their expectations.
We’re focused on developing apps for both Android and iOS. We can create one app for each operating system, or we can develop separate apps depending on your requirements.
Front- and Back-End Coding
Building a digital product
We prefer to work in a Scrum methodology to get to an MVP, which is a level where a product can be built with the core features that your audience will love.
This phase is led by a technical project manager who works closely with the account director to ensure that the project is running smoothly.
QA + Launch
Squashing any last bugs
While we’re working on developing the app, QA is also starting. This is when we try to break the code so that it’s as good as possible and fix any bugs that might occur. After that, it’s time to launch.
Maintenance, Integration + Marketing
Evolving and promoting the MVP
A good app should be a place where people can test and improve their experience, and it should be continuously updated. This process should be carried out in order to keep improving the quality of the product.
Mobile apps are not as discoverable as web experiences, and they need to be marketed in order to find their users. Before you start planning for app marketing, it’s important that you have a good understanding of how to approach it.
