Shopify Development Agency for Custom Builds

Shopify’s theme and app ecosystem can take most brands far, but meaningful growth often demands custom development. Shero builds custom Shopify themes, Hydrogen headless storefronts, apps, Functions, and ERP and automation integrations. As a Premier Partner, Shero is among fewer than 150 agencies globally with Shopify’s highest certification.

Revenue growth at STX after migrating from Adobe Commerce to custom Shopify Plus

STX grew 200% after Shero migrated the brand from Adobe Commerce to Shopify Plus with custom ERP integration, unified DTC and B2B, and a bespoke dual-color swatch system and find-a-dealer feature. The development work created capabilities Adobe Commerce couldn't deliver cost-effectively.

Mobile conversion rate improvement at Swag Golf after Shero's Shopify build

Swag Golf saw a 28% improvement in mobile conversion rate after Shero's Shopify build, which also delivered a 3x load speed improvement.

Client Retention

What Shero builds on Shopify

Shero's development work spans four areas: store builds, headless storefronts, custom apps and Functions, and integrations.

  • Custom Shopify theme development and Shopify Plus configuration
  • Headless storefront development on Shopify Hydrogen with React and TypeScript
  • Shopify Functions and Checkout Extensibility for custom checkout logic
  • Custom Shopify app development for features the app store doesn't cover
  • ERP integration: NetSuite, SAP, and Dynamics via Celigo or Patchworks
  • Workflow automation for multi-system operational processes via Alloy Automation

Why brands work with Shero on custom development

Shero builds to Shopify's API contract rather than around it so the work holds through platform changes.

01

Custom themes built to perform, not just look different

A custom Shopify theme that looks good but loads slowly costs conversion. Shero builds themes with Core Web Vitals targets set before the first line of code, and the performance is measured on real devices at real connection speeds rather than on a developer's local machine. The STX and Swag Golf builds both delivered measurable performance improvements alongside the design outcomes.

02

Headless Shopify on Hydrogen for brands that need a fully custom frontend

Shopify Hydrogen is Shopify's headless framework built on React, runs on Shopify Oxygen, and connects to Shopify's Storefront API and commerce layer. It is the right architecture for brands with complex editorial requirements, multi-market configurations, or performance targets that the standard Liquid theme layer cannot hit. Shero builds Hydrogen storefronts and connects them to Storyblok, Sanity, or Prismic for content management.

03

Shopify Functions for business logic that apps and themes can't handle

Shopify Functions extend Shopify's core logic at the platform level: custom discount logic, custom delivery options, payment customisations, and checkout validations that run server-side on Shopify's infrastructure. Shero builds Functions for requirements that Shopify's native features don't cover and that third-party apps handle poorly.

04

ERP integrations built on Celigo and Patchworks for enterprise Shopify brands

Shopify-to-ERP integrations are one of the most common requirements for Shopify Plus brands scaling beyond basic operations. Shero builds these via Celigo, which has the deepest pre-built integration apps for NetSuite, and via Patchworks for brands on other ERP systems.

05

Multi-system automation for enterprise operational workflows

Brands running 10+ connected apps ERP, CRM, helpdesk, marketing platform, and warehouse need automation that connects them into coherent operational workflows rather than each system working in isolation. Shero builds these workflows on tools such as Alloy Automation, which handles complex multi-step processes across the brand's full technology stack.

06

Shopify Plus B2B custom builds for manufacturers and distributors

Shopify Plus B2B ships Companies, Catalogs, Quotes, and Net Terms natively. For B2B operations with more complex pricing logic, approval workflows, or customer-specific catalog requirements, Shero builds custom B2B features using Shopify Functions and the B2B API layer. STX and Justrite Safety Group are two examples of B2B builds Shero has delivered.
