Shopify · Shopify Plus · BigCommerce · Headless · Integrations
Shopify and BigCommerce development for stores that need more than an app can do.
Custom themes that convert, private apps for the logic the App Store doesn't cover, and the ERP, WMS, tax, and shipping integrations that keep inventory honest. Built by the same Michigan team that ships Magento 2 — so you get a platform recommendation, not a sales pitch.
Reed Dynamic provides Shopify and BigCommerce development — custom themes, Shopify private apps, Shopify Plus and B2B configuration, BigCommerce Stencil themes and API integrations, headless storefronts, ERP/WMS integration, and migrations to or from Magento and WooCommerce — from Ann Arbor, Michigan. Typical projects run $8,000–$60,000.

Shopify & BigCommerce FAQs
Shopify, BigCommerce, or Magento 2?
Shopify for speed, simplicity, and a huge app ecosystem — best for straightforward catalogs and DTC. BigCommerce when you want Shopify-like hosting with more native B2B and catalog flexibility and no transaction fees. Magento 2 for complex catalogs, multi-store, deep B2B, or heavy customization. We build all three, so the recommendation follows your requirements. Read our platform comparison.
How much does Shopify or BigCommerce development cost?
A custom theme build runs $8,000–$30,000; a Shopify Plus or BigCommerce B2B setup with integrations $25,000–$60,000; a custom private app $5,000–$25,000. Migrations from Magento or WooCommerce fall in the $15,000–$50,000 range. See pricing.
What can't Shopify apps do that you can?
Anything with business logic that apps don't anticipate: customer-specific pricing synced from an ERP, multi-warehouse allocation rules, complex bundles, legacy system connections, and reliable two-way order/inventory sync with monitoring. We write private apps and middleware for exactly these gaps.
Do you integrate Shopify or BigCommerce with our ERP?
Yes — NetSuite, Acumatica, Business Central, Epicor P21, SAP B1, QuickBooks, and custom systems via the Shopify Admin/GraphQL and BigCommerce REST/GraphQL APIs, with idempotent writes, retries, and alerting. See ERP integration.
Can you migrate us off Magento or WooCommerce to Shopify?
Yes, and we'll tell you first if you'd lose functionality you rely on. Products, customers, orders, and content migrate with every URL redirected so rankings survive.
Do you do headless Shopify?
Yes — Hydrogen or Next.js storefronts on the Storefront API, when the business case (custom UX, content-heavy, multi-brand) justifies the added complexity over a well-built theme.
