Gadget PartnerBuilt for ShopifyThe front door
A fixed-scope, fixed-price engagement to design and ship one custom Shopify tool or automation — bounded, low-risk, and easy to say yes to. It's the simplest way to start working with us.
What it is
Most agency engagements ask you to commit before you know what you're getting. The Sprint flips that: we agree one specific operational problem, fix the scope and price, then build and ship it. If it goes well, there's a natural path to a bigger build — but you're never locked in to find out.
A single, well-defined operational gap — not an open-ended wishlist. That's what makes it fast and fixed-price.
A private, single-merchant app — yours alone, never listed on the public App Store. Not an off-the-shelf install.
Fixed price, fixed timeline, clear deliverable. You know exactly what you're getting before we begin.
What fits a Sprint
If it's one clear thing an off-the-shelf app doesn't do, it probably fits. A few of the shapes a Sprint takes:
Visibility or control Shopify doesn't give you — an audit trail, a reconciliation view, a bulk operation your team runs by hand today.
A repetitive manual process — tagging, syncing, routing, alerting — that a background job should quietly be doing for you.
Connect Shopify to the system that doesn't talk to it yet — an ERP, a PIM, a warehouse, an internal database.
Something that has to be correct and provable — price-history/Omnibus, exports for auditors, a record of what changed and when.
Not sure it fits, or bigger than a Sprint? That's fine — the Sprint is the front door, and larger builds get scoped from there. Tell us the problem and we'll say honestly.
What you get
How it works
We pin down the one problem worth solving, agree exactly what “done” looks like, and fix the scope and price — before any code is written.
AI-native speed on the undifferentiated work; hand-engineered rigor on the parts that have to be right. You see progress as it happens.
Live on your store, handed over cleanly, with a short walkthrough — and an honest view on whether there's a bigger build worth doing.
Pricing
No hourly meters, no open-ended retainers, no surprises. Once we've scoped the one problem, you get a single fixed price for the whole Sprint. If it's a fit, you say yes knowing exactly what it costs and when it lands.
FAQ
A single fixed price for the whole Sprint, quoted once we've scoped the one problem together — so you approve the number before anything starts. We don't do hourly billing or open-ended retainers for this.
No. A Sprint builds a customapp — private to your store, built around your exact workflow, and never listed publicly. It's the opposite of a one-size-fits-all app you share with thousands of other brands.
Yes. It's your app. You get a clean handover and it runs on your store — not something you rent from us indefinitely.
The Sprint is deliberately the front door. If scoping reveals a larger build, we'll tell you honestly and scope a custom project from there. Plenty of Histora- and Salt-Finance-scale work started as a small, specific problem.
Shopify is our focus and where most Sprints happen. The same Gadget-powered engineering also builds ChatGPT apps and custom web apps — if your problem lives there, ask.
We use AI as a first-class part of the workflow for the undifferentiated work, and we know exactly where AI-generated code breaks — so the calculations, the edge cases and the audit trail get proper engineering. Fast to build, engineered to be right.
Describe the operational wall you've hit. We'll tell you honestly whether an AI Ops Sprint can solve it — and what it would cost.
