Shopify has deep roots in Canadian commerce, and Montreal developers and merchants are part of that ecosystem. A custom Shopify app solves a problem the app store does not: a niche fulfilment rule, a B2B pricing model, a connection to an internal system, or a product feature you want to sell to other merchants.
There are two main paths: a private app for your own store or a public app listed on the Shopify App Store, which must meet Shopify's review requirements, including data protection rules. Apps should be translatable so merchants can use them in French, an expectation in Quebec. Merchant and customer data processed by the app falls under Law 25 when Quebec residents are involved, and Shopify requires apps to honour privacy webhooks. Costs depend on features, the Shopify APIs used, the admin interface built with Polaris, and hosting.
Ask a developer whether they have built public or custom apps before, how they handle Shopify API version changes, where the app will be hosted and how its data is secured, and how billing works for a public app. Ask for a timeline that includes Shopify's review process. Planning for maintenance is essential, since Shopify updates its APIs regularly.
