What Affects the Cost?
Theme Compatibility
Some themes integrate cleanly with apps; others need significant CSS and Liquid adjustments. Heavily customized themes typically need more integration work.
Number of Apps
Multiple app installs can conflict with each other. Each additional app increases the testing surface and potential for JavaScript or styling conflicts.
API Complexity
Simple REST API connections are quick. Complex integrations with authentication, rate limiting, data transformation, and error handling take significantly longer.
Custom App Scope
Custom app costs scale with features. A single-purpose app from $500; a multi-feature app with admin UI, webhooks, and complex logic from $1,000–3,000+.
