A small team that only builds on Shopify.
No strategy decks, no account managers, no discipline we're pretending to be good at. We write Shopify code — that's the whole business.
Started because good Shopify engineering was hard to find
Mindhive started with a simple, frustrating observation: plenty of agencies would sell a Shopify project, and very few could actually build one. Theme edits were passed off as development. Checkout customisations were bolted on in ways that broke at the next platform update.
So we built the opposite. A development-only studio, staffed entirely by engineers, working exclusively on Shopify. No media buying, no brand workshops — just the platform, understood deeply.
That focus is why we can take on the work most agencies subcontract: public apps, Shopify Functions, checkout extensions and headless storefronts. And it's why we ship our own products, so we feel the same constraints we design around for clients.

Engineers, no middle layer
Four things we don't compromise on
Supported patterns only
We build with the APIs Shopify intends you to use. No hacks that break at the next platform update.
You talk to engineers
The person answering your question is the person who wrote the code. There is no account layer.
Scope before invoice
Written specs, fixed prices and change orders quoted up front. No surprise line items.
Performance is a requirement
Core Web Vitals budgets are set at the start and enforced at review, not measured after launch.
Shopify Partners since 2017
We're a Shopify Partner with apps published to the Shopify App Store. That means our code has been through Shopify's review process, and we work against the same roadmaps their platform teams publish.
- Shopify Partner with published App Store products
- Building on the platform since the pre-Online Store 2.0 era
- Experience across Plus, Markets and multi-store organisations
- Active on new APIs during developer preview, not after GA
