FAQ

Shopify Development questions, answered.

Straight answers to what clients ask before choosing a technology.

What’s the difference between Shopify and Shopify Plus?

Shopify Plus is Shopify’s enterprise plan. It adds more checkout customisation, higher API limits, expansion stores and advanced B2B features. It usually pays off once your sales volume justifies the higher monthly fee, so we look at your numbers before recommending it.

Should we use a ready-made theme or a custom theme?

A well-chosen theme with smart customisation is the fastest route for most stores. A custom theme makes sense when your brand, product pages or merchandising need layouts no theme supports, or when theme limitations are holding back conversions.

When do we need a custom Shopify app?

When no App Store app does what you need, when several apps are slowing your store down, or when the logic is specific to your business (pricing, bundles, B2B rules, integrations). A custom or private app does exactly that job and nothing more.

What is Hydrogen, and do we need a headless store?

Hydrogen is Shopify’s framework for building a fully custom (headless) storefront. It gives total design freedom and very fast pages, but costs more to build and maintain. Most stores are better served by a well-built Online Store 2.0 theme.

What are metafields and metaobjects used for?

They store extra content Shopify doesn’t have fields for, such as size guides, ingredients, specs or reusable content blocks, so your team can edit them in the admin instead of hard-coding them into the theme.

Can we sell in several countries from one Shopify store?

Yes. Shopify Markets lets one store handle local currencies, languages, domains and pricing per country. We set it up so each market gets the right content, prices and SEO signals.

Which Shopify tools does your team work with?

Liquid for themes, the Shopify CLI for development and deployment, the Admin and Storefront APIs for integrations, Shopify Functions and Checkout Extensibility for checkout logic, and Hydrogen for headless builds.
