I’m looking for an experienced Shopify developer to complete a custom Shopify app for a salon affiliate / trade program.
I’ve already done significant groundwork but ran into technical setup and deployment issues and need someone experienced to finish this properly.
IMPORTANT: Please include a fixed fee quote for the this task in your response.
What I’ve Already Built / Attempted
Created Shopify Forms for the salon trade / affiliate application
(Form lives in Shopify Admin → Apps → Forms and is already connected to customer creation)
Built the front-end structure for the trade application flow
Installed Node.js and Shopify CLI locally
Attempted to scaffold a Remix app using shopify app init
Began implementing draft order logic
Attempted local development via Shopify CLI
Attempted deployment via Railway
Issues I Ran Into
CLI syntax inconsistencies and scaffolding confusion
Authentication / client ID configuration issues
Interactive terminal prompts stalling during initialization
Railway deployment issues related to environment variables and Shopify app configuration
Uncertainty around best architecture for handling:
Quantity validation
Draft order creation
Automated email with invoice link
At this point, I’d prefer someone experienced to cleanly structure and complete this rather than continue troubleshooting.
What the App Must Do
Receive form submission (email + selected variants + quantities)
Validate total quantity across variants ≤ 2
If valid:
Create a Draft Order using Shopify Admin API
Generate invoice / checkout URL
Automatically email checkout link to customer
If invalid:
Do not create order
Send resubmission email
No manual approval step. Fully automated.
Technical Requirements
Shopify custom app (private / internal)
Prefer Remix + JavaScript (but open to clean rebuild if better)
Shopify Admin API draftOrderCreate mutation
Proper authentication and token handling
Production-ready deployment (Railway, Fly.io, Render, etc.)
Clear environment variable documentation
Clean structure for future expansion
Deliverables
Fully working app
Quantity validation logic
Draft order creation
Automated checkout link email
Clean deployment
Brief Loom walkthrough explaining architecture and setup
Please Include in Proposal
Examples of Shopify custom apps you’ve built
Confirmation you’ve worked with draft orders and Shopify Admin API
Estimated timeline
Fixed price quote preferred
Whether you would repair current scaffold or rebuild from scratch
This is an internal automation tool, not a public App Store app. Clean architecture and reliability are more important than overengineering.
Looking forward to working with someone experienced who can take this over and complete it properly.
