Done-for-you Shopify Functions and checkout logic for Shopify
Shopify Functions Automation, Tested on Real Orders, Not Demos
Shopify functions automation puts custom logic inside Shopify's own checkout: a discount rule that no built-in discount offers, a bundle expansion, a payment or shipping rule, all running on Shopify's servers. Functions have hard limits, 11 million instructions, 128 kB of input and 20 kB of output for carts up to 200 lines, and a small input query, so design decides what is possible. We design, build and test them against large carts, from $290.
- Function type chosen: discount, cart transform, delivery, payment or validation
- Input query kept inside the 3,000-byte and cost-30 limits
- Tested on large carts for instruction and size limits
- Test log and a recorded handover

Our track record
450+ Shopify Stores Launched Since 2015. Your Shopify Functions and Checkout Logic Gets the Same Care.
Automations rarely fail on the plain case. After a decade inside Shopify stores, we know which odd orders, edits and refunds break a workflow, and we build for them from the first rule.

Who this is for
Who Our Shopify Functions Automation Service Is For
Functions are powerful and tightly bounded. These are the cases we build for.
You are a good fit if
- Your store runs on Shopify
- You can describe the rule in a few sentences
- You want a fixed price and a written scope
- You can share the access we ask for
Stores needing discount logic the admin cannot do
A Function can apply tiered, conditional or product-pair discounts.
Stores with bundles
Cart transform Functions expand or merge lines.
Teams hitting RunOutOfFuel
Large carts can exhaust the 11 million instruction budget. We trim parsing and logic.
Teams with big metafields
Metafield values over 10,000 bytes are not returned. We restructure data.
Teams with large carts
Limits are stated for up to 200 lines. We test at your maximum.
Owners comparing Functions with apps
Apps using Functions may be cheaper than custom code. We compare.

How We Wire Up Shopify Functions and Checkout Logic for Your Store
Think of the build as a short chain: event, rule, action, log. Each link is tested on its own and again as a whole, on real orders, before we ask you to approve anything.

How We Build Your Shopify Functions and Checkout Logic Automation, Step by Step
A fixed order of work keeps the project predictable. You know what happens next at every point.
- 1
Brief and rules
We ask how Shopify Functions and checkout logic works today, who does what and where it goes wrong. Together we write each rule in plain words: when a cart is evaluated, then apply the custom logic.
- 2
Access and platform
You approve narrow access to Shopify and the other tools. We recommend a platform, show its monthly cost and confirm the connection with a live read.
- 3
Map the data
Together we map cart lines, customer tags, rule and result, confirm the formats on each side and decide what happens to blanks.
- 4
Build in a copy
The workflow is built against test data, never your live orders. You see the plan and, where useful, a recorded run.
- 5
Test on real cases
We run a normal cart, a stacked discount and a restricted item, then refunds and edits, and verify each outcome against what the store shows.
- 6
Go live and hand over
After your approval we turn it on, follow the first live runs, then hand over notes, a diagram and a short recorded tour.

Inside every project
Six Safeguards Built Into Every Automation
Careful beats fast when orders and personal data are involved. These are the habits behind every build.
Plain scope, two revision rounds
Price first, then two structured revision rounds for anything in scope, so no tweak becomes a surprise charge.
Build in a copy, never live
The workflow is built and tested against test data. Your live orders and functions are untouched until you approve.
Nothing sent without approval
Emails, texts and posts that reach customers are approved by you before they are enabled.
A written definition of done
The workflow counts as finished only when a normal cart, a stacked discount and a restricted item all pass and are logged.
Failures raise a flag
A named person receives an alert, with the order and the reason, whenever a run fails.
Counts compared, not assumed
Once past orders are processed, we count both sides, so missing or doubled records show up early.

Why Store Design Expert
Why Owners Choose Our Shopify Functions Automation Over Doing It Alone
You are paying for judgement and for a result you can inspect, not for hours.
A direct line to the builder
Ask the person who built it. Questions about rules or fields get a direct reply.
Notes a colleague can follow
Handover notes record the flow of events and the choices behind each setting, ready for whoever works on it next.
Safety designed in
Safety is standard: retries, alerts, unique keys and narrow access are part of each build.
A price you can plan around
You see the cost and extra days for each choice in the calculator. Platform fees are separate, and we estimate them for you.
We live inside Shopify
Orders, refunds, edits and metafields are daily work for us. That is a different skill from knowing an automation tool's menus.
Experience since 2015
A decade and more than 450 stores later, few automation quirks are new to us.
What we need to get started
What We Need From You to Begin
Three things get the work moving: safe access, a few answers and a decision-maker. Here is the detail.
Approve a collaborator request
If the store is live, send us its address and approve our request. Ownership stays with you, our role is limited, and removal takes one click.
Starting from nothing? We build first
No store yet? We build it in our Partner account, set up the workflow there and transfer the whole store to you, so you choose a plan only at the end.
Or share a staff login
Sharing a staff login is possible. The collaborator route is safer, though: one click removes it and no password is passed around.
Access to the other tools
Invite us to the tools the workflow touches, or ask us to create accounts with your email. Either way you hold the owner role.
Examples of the work today
Send two or three recent cases, or tell us where to find them. Real examples show how the process actually runs.
A decision-maker
Tell us who approves the rules and the test, and what should happen when two rules disagree.
We never need your owner password or payment details. Access is limited, logged and removable at any time.
