Shopify engineering for B2B SaaS. Shipped at 4× pace.
Deploy a senior Shopify pod that understands B2B SaaS compliance natively. One retainer. Embedded in your team in 24 hours.
The intersection
Operating Shopify in B2B SaaS is not just a syntax problem — it is an architectural and compliance challenge.
Shopify pods typically ship custom headless storefronts using Hydrogen/Oxygen or Next.js, complex private apps solving bespoke B2B wholesale logic, multi-region architecture handling separate stores with unified inventory, and custom checkout extensions. Devlyn engineers ship robust Shopify Admin API and Storefront API integrations, bypassing app-store limitations with custom middleware.
AI-augmented Shopify workflows utilize Cursor for scaffolding React components for storefronts, Liquid template modernization, and GraphQL mutation writing — under senior validation that owns the API rate-limit strategy, webhook reliability, and checkout performance. Compression shows up strongest in building custom middleware that syncs Shopify with legacy ERPs.
