Shopify developers — what’s one thing you wish more store owners understood before asking for custom development? 👀
For me, it’s that adding more apps isn’t always the best solution.
Sometimes a small custom feature can replace an app, keep the storefront cleaner, reduce unnecessary monthly costs, and avoid adding extra scripts that can affect performance.
Curious to hear from other Shopify developers — when do you choose custom development over installing an app?
