What can a Shopify developer do?
A Shopify developer helps you customize and optimize your webshop beyond the standard features. This includes developing unique themes, integrations with other systems, custom functions, conversion optimization, and enhancing the overall user experience.
Typical tasks may include:
- Development of customer-specific product features
- Add features and functionality to your Shopify theme.
- Setting up advanced discount codes and campaign structures
- Integration with ERP, PIM, or CRM
- Optimization of checkout flow and performance through checkout blocks.
When should one use development in Shopify?
You should consider hiring a Shopify developer when:
- You need functionality that cannot be solved with standard apps.
- You will integrate systems such as finance, inventory, or logistics.
- You need technical support for theme development or coding.
- You have a scaled business and need high performance and advanced functionality.
At Mercive, we help both startups and larger companies scale their setup through targeted development.

What coding language is used in Shopify?
Shopify uses the following technologies:
- Liquid– the template language that Shopify is built on
- HTML / CSS– for structure and styling
- JavaScript– for interactivity and dynamism
- REST API and GraphQL API– for integrations with external systems
We have control over the entire code stack, which enables us to tackle both frontend and backend challenges in Shopify.
