Building a mvp / prototype with Shopify? Let us review it.
Expert code review for mvp / prototype apps built with Shopify. We fix Shopify-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common Shopify issues we find
Real problems from Shopify codebases we've reviewed.
Slow theme performance
AI-generated Liquid templates with too many nested loops, unoptimized images, render-blocking scripts, and missing lazy loading — increasing page load time and hurting conversion rates.
Broken checkout customizations
Custom checkout scripts or Shopify Functions that break the checkout flow for certain payment methods, shipping options, or edge cases like discount stacking.
Insecure custom app webhooks
Shopify app webhook endpoints without HMAC signature verification, allowing attackers to send fake order, payment, or customer data to your systems.
API rate limit violations
Custom integrations that hit Shopify's API rate limits by making too many requests without proper throttling, causing sync failures and data inconsistencies.
MVP / Prototype challenges to solve
Key mvp / prototype concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
Identifying what actually needs fixing
Not everything needs to be production-grade for an MVP. The challenge is knowing which shortcuts are acceptable (visual polish, advanced features) and which aren't (security, data loss, broken core flows). Our audit prioritizes fixes by impact.
Security minimum
Even an MVP handles user data. You need authentication that works, data isolated per user, no exposed secrets, and HTTPS. You don't need enterprise-grade security, but you need the basics done right.
Deployment
Your app runs locally but deploying it involves environment variables, domain configuration, SSL, and build optimization. First-time deployment is where most AI prototypes hit unexpected issues.
Error handling
When something goes wrong (and it will), your users should see a helpful message — not a white screen or a raw error. Basic error handling is the difference between 'this app is buggy' and 'something went wrong, please try again.'
What we check
Key areas we review for Shopify mvp / prototype projects.
Core user flow — does signup to core action work reliably?
Authentication — secure login, session handling, password reset
Data security — user data isolation, no exposed secrets
Deployment readiness — env vars, build configuration, domain setup
Not sure if your app passes? Our code audit ($19) checks all of these and more.
