The application and operations work required to move from model access to a production product.
App Store listings that survive review, quarterly API versions, and merchants who install them in ways you did not plan for.
Timed carts, stock reservation, purchase limits, and the race conditions that only appear under real demand.
Storefront to warehouse hardware to carrier, with the reconciliation that stops orders going missing between them.
Gateway integrations and checkout extensions built around what the platform actually permits, not what a demo suggested.
Configurators, custom-design tools, and print-on-demand pipelines wired into catalogue and order data.
Customer service and sales automation across social messaging, grounded in live catalogue and order state.
Product and inventory kept consistent across several storefronts without a nightly CSV and a prayer.
Returns, loyalty, store credit, and the operational reporting that tells you whether any of it worked.
Each one is a build we have shipped and a page that goes deeper.
Existing providers stay connected through explicit contracts, ownership, and failure paths.
Shopify, payment gateways, carriers, warehouse hardware, and marketplace APIs
We launched a public Shopify application that provides merchants with timed cart reservations to reduce abandoned carts and improve inventory accuracy.
A custom platform that integrates Shopify, warehouse hardware, and multiple shipping APIs to automate order processing.
We developed a commercial Shopify application to automate the entire post-purchase returns process for e-commerce merchants.
An AI system to automate customer service and sales across social messaging platforms, all powered by AI.
We built a standalone application to integrate the NMI payment gateway, bypassing native Shopify checkout limitations for a direct-to-consumer retailer.
We developed an interactive 3D product configurator and automated the creation of production-ready files for a custom e-commerce product.
Use a focused tool to surface delivery risk before it becomes roadmap work.
Control evidence travels with the build from the first sprint.
Control posture
| Standard | Status | What we ship |
|---|---|---|
| PCI-DSS | In progress | We keep card data out of scope by design, using the platform or gateway vault. We build toward PCI-DSS; we do not certify against it. |
| Built for Shopify | In progress | App Store submissions built against the current requirements, including performance budgets and embedded admin behaviour. |
| Data privacy | Compliant | Customer data boundaries between storefront, app, and any third-party service the app talks to. |
| API version currency | Compliant | Apps kept current through quarterly platform versions rather than pinned until something breaks. |
Start with a focused audit or bring a senior team into a defined product roadmap. Each model keeps scope, controls, and ownership visible.
Typical engagement runs 6–14 weeks, scoped and priced per project. Every one opens with a written review.
From the founder
I started Robust Devs in 2019 after watching too many good products die between agencies. The pattern was always the same: big promises in the sales call, silence by week six. We built this firm to be the opposite of that. A small senior team, honest scope, and the uncomfortable truth delivered early.
If you are building in marketing, healthtech, or fintech, tell me what you are working on. If we are not the right team for it, I will say so on the first call and point you somewhere better.

Answers on controls, integrations, and the boundaries of our role.
Yes. Several of the case studies on this page are public App Store listings rather than private apps, which is a different bar: review, performance budgets, embedded admin behaviour, and support for merchants you never speak to.
