Experienced Shopify App Developer Needed
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
My SaaS-style Shopify app already has users in production, but the Laravel backend now needs the most immediate attention. I want to harden and extend the data-processing layer, then circle back to Vue.js UI tweaks, GraphQL endpoints, and general UX polish.
Here’s the current stack you’ll step into:
• Laravel + MySQL powering all core logic
• Vue 3 with Vite for the embedded admin UI, styled with Shopify Polaris
• Shopify GraphQL Admin API, webhooks, and several third-party REST/JSON APIs
Priority tasks
1. Refactor and expand Laravel services that transform and store shop data (imports, scheduled jobs, queue workers).
2. Tighten unit / feature tests so the codebase stays scalable.
3. Expose new data sets through GraphQL to the Vue front end.
Once the backend is solid, we’ll move on to:
• Incremental Vue component updates for responsiveness
• Minor UX clean-ups in Polaris
• Bug hunts reported by merchants in production
Acceptance criteria for each sprint will be:
– All new Laravel logic covered by passing PHPUnit tests
– No breaking changes in the embedded app when re-installed on a partner dev store
– API calls (Shopify + third-party) logged and gracefully retried on failure
If you have shipped real Shopify apps before, link me to live examples or repos so I can review your past work. A concise note about the role you played on each project is perfect—no need for a full proposal deck.
We’ll collaborate via GitHub, Slack, and weekly video check-ins. I move fast, review PRs quickly, and value clean, well-commented code. If that sounds like your rhythm, I’m ready to get started this week.
