IFG Development: Shopify apps and custom software development

IFG Development brings together my software development work: embedded Shopify apps, integrations, automation and custom features when a theme, native function or existing application does not solve the requirement well.

I start from the real problem and dependencies before creating new software. For stores I work on Shopify Basic, Shopify and Advanced: when a feature is not natively available on the plan in use, I assess alternatives through apps, APIs or custom development without presenting features reserved for other plans as standard.

I use AI tools during development, analysis and review when they improve the process, but tests, regression checks and evidence remain the gate before a feature is considered complete.

IFG Returns & Withdrawals

Returns management and online withdrawal function

IFG Returns & Withdrawals provides storefront modules for return and withdrawal requests, order verification, email confirmation and administrative request management. The app is designed to support an online withdrawal function where applicable without turning the software into a legal certification of the store.

The integration uses tools provided by the Shopify ecosystem to limit manual theme dependencies. Performance and behaviour are still verified on the real store.

IFG GEO Optimizer

Technical audit of catalogue GEO signals

IFG GEO Optimizer analyses structured data, accessibility to AI crawlers, content quality and extractability and lets merchants publish FAQs after approval. It also generates machine-readable resources and monitors detected mentions over time in supported engines.

The app works on controllable signals and does not promise crawling, rankings or citations from AI systems.

IFG Sales Register

Shopify register data and reconciliation

IFG Sales Register prepares the register from Shopify orders, distinguishes orders identified as invoiced, handles reversals and refunds and compares available data to flag discrepancies.

It is an operational tool to use with your accountant: it does not perform electronic submission, compliant digital preservation or replace tax advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can your applications affect Core Web Vitals?

Yes. Like any code executed on the storefront, a feature can have an impact. I use Shopify-compatible integrations and architectures and try to limit unnecessary scripts and dependencies; the result is verified on the real store rather than described as zero impact.

Do I need to modify the theme manually to install and configure the apps?

When an app uses Theme App Extensions, blocks or app embeds, configuration takes place through the tools provided by Shopify and does not require the merchant to paste code manually into theme files. Any permissions or writes performed by the app are handled by its workflow and must be authorised.

What happens if I change theme or Shopify updates the platform?

App data is separate from theme files when the architecture allows it, but after changing theme, blocks or app embeds still need to be reactivated and tested on the new theme. Shopify and API updates are also dependencies to verify rather than events assumed to be risk-free.

How do free plans and app trials work?

Prices, free plans, trial periods and limits depend on each application and can change over time. The Shopify App Store listing for each app is the current reference before installation.

How do you manage stability and traffic peaks?

I design backends and integrations using managed services and practices appropriate to the expected load and I verify errors and regressions during development. No infrastructure is described as infallible: when an app is critical, monitoring, testing and management of external dependencies are required.
