Extend Shopify with apps that solve real merchant problems

Every online store has its own operational requirements. Some merchants want to increase basket value, others need delivery scheduling, currency tools, progressive web app experiences or better ways to connect with customers. When an existing app does not fit the workflow, a custom Shopify app or plugin may provide a more suitable solution. Lumoonix's portfolio includes multiple Shopify apps and a WooCommerce plugin designed around specific commerce needs.

Understanding the challenges in this industry

An app should do more than add another feature to a store. It needs to fit the merchant's workflow, work reliably with the storefront and avoid creating unnecessary friction for customers or staff. App performance, configuration, compatibility, support and clear documentation all influence whether merchants can use the solution successfully. For public apps, onboarding and installation experience are also important.

Custom Shopify app development

Custom apps can extend store functionality where existing options do not meet the requirement. Discovery should define the merchant problem, user roles, required Shopify APIs, data flows and expected behaviour.

  • Delivery date selection and pickup scheduling.
  • Progressive web app functionality for Shopify storefronts.

Relevant experience and project expertise

The portfolio lists Shopify apps covering cart upsells, delivery scheduling, PWA, currency conversion, dynamic pricing, blog utilities, marketing, store protection, gold-price synchronization, WhatsApp chat and abandoned-cart functionality, as well as a WooCommerce upsell plugin. Published merchant outcomes include AOV increasing 5x for one merchant, AOV increasing 129% for another, growth of 696% with AOV tripled for another, AOV increasing 115%, revenue increasing 40%, and one delivery app handling 384,912 scheduled orders. These are separate merchant/app outcomes and must be attributed individually, not presented as guaranteed results for every installation.

How we approach your project

  1. Begin with a discovery session focused on the business model, customer journey, current platform and operational constraints. For this industry, confirm the catalogue or service structure, integrations, content ownership, target markets and the business outcomes the website must support. Document assumptions and dependencies before estimating the work.

  2. Next, define the information architecture, page templates and key user journeys. The design and content should answer the questions customers ask before they enquire, book or buy. For an existing platform, review analytics, search performance, technical health, conversion paths and integration constraints before proposing a redesign or rebuild.

  3. During development, test the critical journeys on mobile and desktop, including validation, permissions, empty states and integration failures. Before launch, complete content and metadata checks, redirect mapping where URLs change, analytics and conversion-event validation, performance checks, accessibility review and stakeholder acceptance. Agree on post-launch monitoring, ownership and support arrangements.

Why work with Lumoonix

Lumoonix's supplied portfolio spans eCommerce storefronts, platform migrations, custom operational applications, marketplaces, travel workflows, ERP-related functionality and commerce apps. The relevant experience for each industry is described on this page; project scope and outcomes should be discussed in context rather than assuming every capability applies to every engagement.

The recommended approach should fit the current platform, team and budget. Sometimes the best next step is to improve an existing storefront; in other cases it may be a migration, integration or focused first release. Agree on deliverables, responsibilities, acceptance criteria and measurable success indicators before development begins.

Frequently asked questions

Can you build a custom Shopify app?

The portfolio includes multiple Shopify apps. A new app project should define the merchant problem, required APIs, data access, installation model and support requirements.

Should I build a public or private Shopify app?

The choice depends on whether the functionality is intended for one merchant or multiple stores, distribution requirements, configuration needs and maintenance model.

Can a Shopify app increase average order value?

Upsell and cross-sell apps can present relevant products or offers, but results depend on the store, audience, offer and implementation. No uplift should be guaranteed.

Can you build delivery scheduling for Shopify?

The portfolio includes a delivery date and pickup scheduling app. A new solution should define capacity rules, blackout dates, lead times, location settings and order handling.

Do Shopify apps need ongoing maintenance?

Apps should be monitored and updated as platform APIs, merchant needs and dependencies change. Support arrangements should be agreed before launch.
