A custom frontend. A proven commerce engine.
Custom Shopify Storefronts.
Design a distinctive, accessible storefront using Shopify's supported headless commerce APIs while keeping Shopify responsible for commerce records and checkout.
For brands that have outgrown theme-based Shopify experiences.
Custom fixed-fee proposals follow technical discovery. No third-party API capability is guaranteed before verification.
The business challenge
Where the friction starts.
A theme and its growing app stack cannot deliver the desired shopping journey, merchandising experience or brand presentation.
The FMG approach
Build the missing layer.
FMG builds a custom frontend with product discovery, filtering, storytelling, cart and account experiences that integrate with Shopify's supported APIs.
What your software could include
Purpose-built modules.
These are candidate modules for discovery, not a statement that every module is included at one price. We agree on business rules, data sources and permissions before implementation.
Variants, search and cart behavior
Customer account integration where available
Checkout handoff and analytics
How it might work
One connected workflow.
A shopper explores a branded catalog, chooses a variant, adds it to a cart and moves to the Shopify-hosted checkout via the current supported flow.
Illustrative process only. Data freshness, provider capabilities and authorization are verified during discovery.
Business outcomes we're designing for
- A shopping journey designed around your products
- Faster, clearer content and merchandising
- Independent control over the frontend code

Source ownership
A repository you can keep building.
We scope a private, client-controlled GitHub repository with modular frontend components, tested API adapters, environment templates, documentation and a deployment pipeline.
Design, code and handoff rights are explicitly defined in the agreement. FMG does not claim ownership of third-party SaaS APIs, hosted checkouts, accounting records or software licenses.
Security, backups, access controls, incident response, data retention and maintenance responsibilities are documented for the real production system.
Answers before you commit
Common questions.
Do we own Shopify checkout?
No. You can own the custom storefront code under your agreement, but Shopify remains a licensed platform for its catalog, commerce services and checkout. Checkout customization depends on Shopify's current plan and API limits.
Who owns this software after launch?
Ownership of custom code, documentation and related deliverables is defined in the project agreement. FMG typically plans for a client-controlled private GitHub repository and client-owned deployment accounts. Licensed platforms and third-party APIs remain governed by their vendors.
