Understanding Custom Shopify Store Development
Such a great book. It clearly gives the bare bones for someone to develop their vision for a custom Shopify store.
While it is a highly niche topic and includes lots of necessary jargon that makes it difficult for a newcomer, for the initiated person looking for more information where they have also found a lack online about custom development, this will provide.
I strongly suggest you read this prior to dealing with any Shopify developers to be on the same level.
I give it 5 stars because it was just such a captivating read that included so many great notes I’ll now use in my custom Shopify store. No doubt I have 20 new notes on new ideas and specs for the website I’m creating.
