02 — What we build
Owned systems beat rented plugin stacks.
Forgify turns the awkward parts of a growing Shopify business into tools the team can actually run — apps, dashboards, flows and conversion fixes that belong to the store.

Private apps
Embedded tools for the exact business rules your team cannot buy off the shelf.

03 — Operating layer
The store, the data and the back office in one flow.
We don't start with a theme repaint. We start with the system that decides what should be automated, measured, replaced or left alone.
- 01Webhooks
- Events that keep the system current.
- 02Data model
- Metafields, records and permissions.
- 03Minimal scopes
- Only the Shopify access required.
- 04Human approval
- AI assists without going rogue.

04 — Results, measured
What the work moves.
We instrument every build so impact is visible, not assumed — fewer apps, lighter pages, cleaner data and less manual work, measured before and after.
01
3 → 1
Upsell apps replaced
Three overlapping plugins collapsed into one owned bundle app.
02
−280 KB
Render-blocking JS cut
Lighter product pages where the paid traffic actually lands.
03
2× → 1×
Purchase events deduplicated
ROAS stops being inflated by double-fired pixels.
04
Hours / day
Manual triage removed
A quiz, dashboard and email flow do the repetitive work.
Illustrative outcomes from the demo build set — not guaranteed client numbers.
05 — Process
Diagnosis first. Build second.
Design the operating layer
Data model, Shopify APIs, admin surface, events and edge cases scoped before a line ships.
Ship the first system
A private app, automation or dashboard goes live with documentation and measurable signals.
Compound the wins
The system becomes the base for the next sprint instead of another disconnected plugin.
06 — Engagements
Start small, prove the value, then scale the system.

07 — How we de-risk it
Your revenue engine, on your terms.
Handing production access to a studio is a real risk. Here is exactly what we commit to so it isn't.
- 01Code ownership
- Yours from day one — repositories handed over, no lock-in.
- 02Fixed-scope sprints
- A defined plan and quote before a single line is built.
- 03Pause anytime
- Stop between sprints with no notice penalty or retainer.
- 04Post-deploy warranty
- A defined window for fixes after every system ships.
- 05Minimal scopes
- Least-privilege Shopify access; staging-first, reversible deploys.

Built for serious Shopify operators, not theme installs.
What we don't do
- /Theme repaints & brand identity
- /Paid media & ad management
- /SEO content farms
- /Dropshipping & pre-revenue tests
- /Lowest-quote, fastest-ship work
We cede the rest on purpose. Shopify app engineering & automation is the whole job.
Good fit
Forgify is best for stores already generating revenue, usually CHF 30k+/month, with app bloat, manual workflows, unreliable tracking, ERP/CRM friction or Shopify Plus complexity.
Not a fit
Not a fit for pre-revenue stores, cheap theme installs, dropshipping tests or lowest-quote shopping.
11 — FAQ
Yes — Forgify works exclusively on Shopify and Shopify Plus. Going deep on one platform is what lets us ship reliable custom apps and integrations instead of generic work.
