Apricode

Shopify Development

High-performance Shopify storefronts engineered for conversion. Custom themes, headless Hydrogen builds, app and checkout extensibility.

Built like a product, not a theme template

Most Shopify stores hit a wall at $1M revenue: speed drops, the theme buckles under product growth, and every new feature means another paid app. We build the next version — the storefront that scales past the wall. Apricode ships Shopify development for direct-to-consumer brands and merchants who treat the store as their primary revenue channel. Custom themes, headless Hydrogen builds, structured catalogs, and checkout flows that move the needle.

01 · Shopify, production-grade

Shopify, production-grade

Themes that score on Core Web Vitals, sane catalog architecture, structured sections marketing can actually edit. The store as a product, not a stack of installed apps.

02 · Headless on Hydrogen

Headless on Hydrogen

React storefronts on Hydrogen + Storefront API when the brand needs ground-up control over UX, content composition, and performance budgets. Product pages that feel like products.

03 · Apps & integrations

Apps & integrations

Shopify Functions, custom checkout extensibility, ERP / CRM / 3PL / payment integrations. We wire the back office to the storefront without a stack of half-working middleware.

04 · Custom themes

Custom themes

Bespoke themes built from scratch — no bloat, no template lock-in. Editors get clean sections, marketers get fast iteration, developers get code worth maintaining.

How we work

Discover (catalog audit, theme audit, conversion review, performance baseline) → Design (Figma → Code Connect → theme sections) → Engineer (theme + Hydrogen shipped on every push, tested on real product data) → Launch + tune (30 days of post-launch tuning against real conversion data).

Why DTC brands pick Apricode

We optimize for AOV and CR — not Pagespeed score in a vacuum. Custom themes mean fewer apps, less monthly burn, more control. We tell you when headless doesn't pay off. Shopify Plus / Functions / B2B / multipass / markets / subscriptions experience. CI-enforced performance — Lighthouse budgets fail PRs.
