Step-by-step deployment help for Shopify apps on DigitalOcean. We fix Shopify-specific deployment issues, configure DigitalOcean, and get your app live. From $19.
Shopify issues we fix before deploying
Common Shopify problems that affect DigitalOcean deployments.
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.
DigitalOcean deployment issues we check for
Common DigitalOcean problems that break Shopify apps in production.
App Platform buildpack fails to detect framework
AI-generated project structures with non-standard entry points or missing start scripts cause DigitalOcean's buildpack to fail during auto-detection.
Managed database connection pool exhaustion
AI tools create a new database connection per request instead of using a connection pool, exhausting DigitalOcean's managed database connection limits quickly.
Droplet firewall not configured
Freshly provisioned Droplets have all ports open by default. AI deployment scripts skip firewall configuration, exposing SSH, database, and admin ports publicly.
Spaces CDN CORS not configured
DigitalOcean Spaces requires explicit CORS headers for browser-based uploads. AI-generated frontend code fails silently when uploading files directly to Spaces.
