06What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built Shopify Flow workflows for.

We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.
Ethan Parker
Founder of Elite Academy
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
James Whitmore
Head of Marketing of Lumen Outdoor
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

07Work Culture
Why Businesses Trust Us With Their Shopify Flow
An untested workflow can hold the wrong order or miss the alert that mattered, so we test with real scenarios before anything runs live. These are the habits we bring to every project.
No Shopify Plus required
Flow works on Basic, Grow and Advanced plans too, we'll tell you if a specific action needs an upgrade.
Built inside your store, not bolted on
Workflows run natively in Shopify, no separate platform or login to manage.
Slack alerts that matter
Notifications for real exceptions, not noise that gets muted after a week.
Tested before it's live
We test each workflow with real order scenarios before it runs unattended.
Honest about Flow's limits
If your need reaches outside Shopify, we say so and point you to the right tool instead of forcing it into Flow.
Documented for your team
You get documentation so your team can see what each workflow does and adjust it later.
08Overview
What can Shopify Flow automate for my store?
DeveloperLook builds custom Shopify Flow workflows that tag orders, hold or release fulfillment, send Slack alerts, and automate store admin tasks natively inside Shopify. Flow works on any Shopify plan, not just Plus, though some actions need Grow or higher. Once you need systems outside Shopify like accounting or a 3PL, n8n or Make take over. Projects start from $399, most live in 3 days to 1 week.

Who it's for
Businesses wanting store automation without leaving Shopify
You want orders tagged, fulfillment held, or alerts sent automatically, using Shopify's own tool instead of a separate platform.
Businesses unsure if they need Shopify Plus for this
You've heard Flow is a Plus feature and want to know if your current plan already supports it.
Businesses wanting Slack alerts on order exceptions
You want your team notified in Slack the moment an order looks risky or needs review.
Businesses with existing Flow workflows that need expanding
You have some Flow automations running but want more built, or the current ones tested and cleaned up.
Businesses deciding between Flow and an external tool
You're not sure whether Shopify Flow covers what you need, or if you'll need n8n or Make once you're connecting outside systems.
Not a fit for
You need to connect Shopify to systems outside the Shopify ecosystem, like your accounting software, CRM, or 3PL. Our n8n, Make and Zapier automation experts service covers that external connection work.
You're not sure yet whether Flow or an external tool is the right fit and want that decided as part of a broader build. Our Workflow Automation Services page covers that tool-agnostic build.
You want a broader process audit before committing to specific automations. Our Business Process Automation Services covers that assessment first.
You need high-volume, complex multi-step logic like iterators or data aggregation. Flow isn't built for that level of complexity, and we'd recommend Make or n8n instead.

12FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on what Flow can do, plan requirements, and when to look elsewhere.
What can Shopify Flow automate for my store?
Flow can tag orders, hold or release fulfillment, send Slack alerts, update customer or product data, and trigger other in-store actions based on events like a new order or a flagged risk score, all without leaving Shopify.
Can you build custom Shopify Flow workflows?
Yes, this is what we do: we design and build Flow workflows around your specific triggers, conditions and actions, then test them before they go live.
When do I need n8n or Make instead of Shopify Flow?
Once you need to connect to something outside Shopify, like your accounting software, CRM, or a 3PL, or need complex multi-step logic Flow isn't built for. Flow only operates inside the Shopify ecosystem.
Does Shopify Flow require Shopify Plus?
No. Flow is available on Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus plans. A few specific actions, like sending an HTTP request, need Grow or higher, but most workflows work on any plan.
How much does Shopify Flow setup cost?
Projects typically start from $399 for a handful of workflows, and scale with the number of workflows and how much conditional logic each one needs.
Can Flow send Slack alerts on order exceptions?
Yes, Flow connects to Slack directly, so a flagged order, a failed step, or another condition you define can trigger a Slack message to the right channel.
Can Flow tag orders and trigger fulfillment actions?
Yes. Tagging orders and holding or releasing fulfillment orders are both standard Flow actions, commonly used to route orders for review or trigger downstream automation.
How do you test workflows before going live?
We run each workflow against real order scenarios in a controlled way before it's active on live orders, so a mistake in the logic surfaces during testing, not on a customer's order.
