AI Return & Exchange Assistant
Solution
Having a UI-dashboard and an admin panel that worked for two types of users, admin, and customer, we started with the development of the Shopify plugin. It worked as a store credit system, which was available for users who had made a purchase return before. Now, the shop provides two options for users — a bonus or a cash balance on their account.
The next step was to develop an analytical system of orders and returns for online shop owners. We are still working on adding a Shopify refund feature to the application. In the nearest future, application users also may use cash refund. It creates a good ecosystem for a successful end-user experience in online purchases. It is a win-win situation, the business provides excellent service, and the customers are happy and loyal.
Shopify Store Development for a Garden Plants & Go
Solution
The client bought the Shopify Theme, and our major scope of work was to provide a redesign, setup new features, and develop a store management system. One of the engaging features was a growing calendar. It helped to track and discover phases of plants growing. We implemented that calendar by using meta fields that were open to be filled out by users.
Another important feature was related to creating a special algorithm for product availability. It also was implemented by using meta fields and Liquid. Depending on the meta field value, an item was shown as available or not, or available for pre-order on the website.
Insurtech Marketplace for Claim Technology
Solution
Our team developed an ecosystem of several applications that used a common API. We underscored product-specific processes as separate services that could be connected to the BPMN workflow engine. Also, we made a special interface for easy data management by the client side without coding. The separately connected services let us achieve the necessary flexibility and compliance with all requirements of the company's business processes.
Management System for American Outlets
Solution
Our team developed the system based on ElasticSearch, Node.Js, and AWS. It enabled adding and editing the distributors' products, adding tags and categories for every item, and helped to make an integration with the supplier database. Moreover, we developed a system of filter configuration that can be used by clients and an affiliate module for product promotion on the marketplace.
Headless E-commerce Platform for OURA
Solution
Our proposed solution was to continue developing the current website by implementing new integrations to existing services and updating the website with new necessary features. Such kind of optimization would save our client money as there was no need to develop everything from scratch.
We developed a new website and integrated it with the old admin panel. One of the core features was using headless architecture. It means that the client could use website content on various applications keeping custom logic by API. It is a necessary feature if the business strives to sell items on marketplaces or third-party applications. The final result was an e-commerce website integrated with Shopify Plus API that operated stock, shipping, and payment service. It helped the business to use the website as a sales tool for various markets in the US and EU.
Website Performance Optimization for a German Beauty Startup
Solution
The website was built by using Shopify Theme Store Brooklyn, so it includes JavaScript code. It reduced page loading time . We suggested the solution of code refactoring. By removing not optimized JavaScript and unused features, we improved website load speed. The next thing was to create separate websites in a few languages and domain switch setup in one place. It allowed us to remove the third-party app Langify and speed up the website even more.
Migrating User Accounts to a New Shopify-based Website
Solution
Our team investigated the request and shared ideas for implementation. We should mention that the basic Shopify functionality doesn't cover this query. So our team was forced to offer a custom solution.
We developed a secured database migration with saving all credentials and purchase history. We did our best to keep the old website URLs for login even when a new website was located on a new domain. As a result, customers use the new website and don't feel any inconvenience.
Migration from an Omnichannel Commerce Platform to Shopify Plus
Solution
We investigated all options of the Shopify Plus feature that we were going to implement. After that, we realized that it would not work correctly if a business had more than one offline store. Our team suggested developing a hybrid solution using JavaScript. As a result, we delivered a stable working checkout page that configures parameters depending on choosing a pickup store. It contained order notes, payment methods, and prices. Website admins saw all needed order information and could organize logistics of delivering parts to one place.
Shopify Store Development for a Healthy Pet Food Start-up
Solution
The key feature of personalization was an online questionnaire with specific algorithms. It helped customers to make the right choice of food for their pets. The first idea of realization was using React application, but finally, our team decided to use vanilla JavaScript with Liquid. That decision saved time and project budget.
The main aim of the online questionnaire for users to fill out was to get maximum pet information. Once it’s filled out, a script runs searching for suitable food. Thus, customers got personalized diet recommendations for pet and could buy a food packet.
Shopify Store Development for Kitchen Knife Manufacturer Artisan Revere
Solution
Providing a great user experience, we offered a gift accurately after a user added items to his/her cart. We found a Liquid-based solution that generates a layout without reloading the page. When the customer chooses items, he/she sees a related gift in the cart and can add it to the order. Moreover, customers who have a discount code can easily enter it into the cart and get goods at a special price. All that stuff is saving and available in a user account and for the website owners.
Cloud RPA Solution for a Modern Law Firm Laurus
Solution
The solution was to introduce digital transformation to the company. It included integration of the BPMN Workflow Engine RPA system for automation of manual tasks and development of two separate applications for gathering, sharing client information and other documentation between the company offices.
We developed a cloud-based platform with two Ul applications and a shared API. The first application was designed for automation of manual tasks. The second application was designed for collecting data from clients automatically and getting a quote for buying or selling a specific property.
Shopify Store Development from Scratch for Scentbird New York
Solution
We started working on the project by brainstorming and creating a use-case diagram. Analyzing the holistic user flow, we came up with a few options of how to develop a membership system in the right way.
Our team created "Membership" versions for all items by using JavaScript in combination with Liquid. It helped us to automate checking each user’s membership and change prices on his/her shopping cart. So, if a user paid for community membership, he/she saw the product prices with a discount.
Also, we created a positive user experience through modern UI/UX website design.
The 24/7 Digital Property Assistant and Management Platform for AskPorter
Solution
We developed a platform where each city resident can sign up in a personal account, send a request for repairs, and track the status. All requests are processed by a representative who is responsible for certain offices, accommodations, and districts. Then, the representative assigns issues to a specialist. Users can track all these processes online.
Shopify Pre-order Plugin
Solution
Our team analyzed the issues and technologies that could be used for the realization. Thus, we offered to develop a new Shopify plugin from scratch. It enables three major things:
1. Ordering of subscription-based products.
2. Processing of subscription-based products.
3. Ordering out-of-stock products with delayed payment.
Data Tracking Shopify App
Solution
We suggested developing a custom plugin that would resolve two major issues: integration of the Shopify web store with marketing automation service and detailed user tracking. The plugin enabled clients’ data and order tracking at the moment of changing the shopping cart items, shipment details, and further checkout information. Each time the initial order info was changed, the corresponding data was sent to the app and then to an email service for further processing and storage. The solution was developed according to GDPR standards. Both the customer’s and Shopify store data could be erased.
Dashboard for Evolve Markets
Solution
The solution we delivered was quite simple. The client granted access to frontend data, and we developed a dashboard. Also, the management tool allowed website administrators to work with data, including management of exchange rates.

Custom Software Dev for Web Development Company
"I’m very happy with DigitalSuits."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
We’re a web development shop based in Japan. We build web and smartphone apps mostly for Japanese clients. I work with our Ukrainian development partners as a bridge or project manager for Japanese clients.
What challenge were you trying to address with DigitalSuits?
I had a project involving Shopify app development, but it was difficult to find partners with deep knowledge of the platform in Japan. We only knew companies who could create Shopify sites without implementing a lot of customization. However, our customer was looking to finish a project that required heavy-duty backend work.
What was the scope of their involvement?
For the first project, DigitalSuits developed a menu and ordering app where restaurant customers could order through their smartphones. Shopify was used as a backend because the client wanted to cut down on development time to complete the proof of concept (POC).
The team is now completing our second project, which has nothing to do with Shopify. They’re using another custom API to complete a musical web app, which allows customers to order things online. The two apps are quite similar on the frontend, but what’s happening on the backend is quite different.
What is the team composition?
I’m the single point of contact on my side, and I serve as a bridge to our clients. On the DigitalSuits side, I normally work with two frontend engineers, 1–2 backend engineers, a part-time DevOps engineer, and a project manager. The DevOps engineer is in charge of setting up the environment and infrastructure.
I’ve also talked to Artem (CEO) at the beginning of a project, and they have a part-time CTO who works with us every few days. He oversees the engagement, helps with decisions on architecture, takes part in decision-making on what type of setup or technology we should use, and more.
How did you come to work with DigitalSuits?
I came across DigitalSuits on Clutch or a similar website. Shopify companies tend to be more-or-less specialized in Shopify, but building custom apps were not their strong suit. As a result, when we found out that Digital Suits had a dedicated team for building custom apps, we decided to hire them. Another consideration we had was their expertise in Shopify.
How much have you invested with them?
The first project cost around $40,000, and they’re going to charge more or less the same for the second one. Right now, they’re charging me around $15,000 per month for the second project, and we’re set to complete it within three months.
What is the status of this engagement?
Our ongoing partnership started in December 2020. Our first project ended in March 2021, and we started another project in mid-August 2021.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The Shopify project worked well, but we faced some limitations with the backend, so it remained in the POC stage for a long time. However, the client was generally happy with what we delivered. We were able to provide them with a unique skill set that was very hard to find in Japan.
On top of that, we made the right decisions around the technologies we needed to build the apps. As a result, they keep hiring us for more projects — it’s not easy, but we’re making solid progress with them.
The good thing about the client is that they’re also a tech company, and the person I’m working with there is a project manager and developer. He’s methodical and doesn’t dump random things on us. They're an easy client to deal with from that standpoint, but they obviously have their expectations, and we’ve exceeded what they wanted to get from us.
How did DigitalSuits perform from a project management standpoint?
I’m very happy with DigitalSuits. They’ve provided us with a different project manager for each of our projects. The manager I’m working with now is young and has made some errors, but she doesn’t get offended when I give feedback. It wasn’t easy in the beginning because we had different expectations and ways of doing things, but we’ve made adjustments, and everything is going smoothly now. In fact, we chat and have become friends with their project manager.
We receive daily update calls from them. We also use tools such as GitHub Issues, Slack, and Google Meet. Overall, DigitalSuits offers a complete package. They have good project management skills, and their CTO is involved with our projects.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’re a young company, but they seem to be skilled with different projects. We also like that they don’t just throw engineers at us and let us deal with it. We’ve worked with a lot of companies in Ukraine because their country has a reputation for having good engineers. However, at the end of the day, we have to work with teams; we can’t just hire a super-engineer and have that person do everything.
Additionally, I don’t like pushing them to work overtime, but they’re willing to do it. It shouldn’t be a requirement, but it shows that they’re dedicated.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They’re busy, and resources can be an issue, but that applies to everybody. Despite that, we always make adjustments; if I have a suggestion about the workflow or anything else, we talk about it and find a solution.
Overall, DigitalSuits is pretty good, and I can’t think of anything in particular for them to improve. Building an app isn’t an easy job so I can’t just let them handle it and come back three months later to find everything working perfectly.

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m a co-founder of a direct-to-consumer e-commerce startup.
What challenge were you trying to address with DigitalSuits?
We needed to develop a website.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We provided designs, which were done with another vendor. They developed our website on Shopify.
They created a custom template to bring our designs to life. They also did API integration and created an algorithm.
What is the team composition?
Yana (Customer Service Representative) is the project manager. There is also a lead full-stack developer, a junior frontend developer, a part-time backend developer, and a QA specialist. We interacted with Artem (CEO) at the beginning of the engagement.
How did you come to work with DigitalSuits?
We found them on Clutch. We liked their experience with startups and e-commerce projects, as well as their reasonable pricing. They also had good suggestions for solutions to specific challenges we faced.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent $10,000–$49,999
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working together around July 2020, and the project ongoing.

The website is getting traffic, with good conversion rates and sales. We are satisfied with the work they are doing for us.
How did DigitalSuits perform from a project management standpoint?
Overall, they did a good job. We communicate via Slack, and they are extremely responsive.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They have creative solutions and are great problem-solvers. We were happy with the effectiveness of the solutions they presented. They're also dedicated to completing tasks given to them.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They could hire more people to help the project manager avoiding being overloaded. There were times when she was unable to allocate her time as effectively as we would’ve preferred. We also found some minor bugs, so they could pay a bit more attention to detail.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Have clear plans and estimates. Take time on negotiations to make sure everyone is aligned on scope, timelines, and expectations. Stay involved on a daily basis to keep things moving.

Introduce your business and what you do there.
We’re a software design and development company, and I’m the CEO of the company.
What challenge were you trying to address with DigitalSuits?
We needed an e-commerce development team for two of our projects.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They started building from scratch, using Shopify. The application includes headless e-commerce, so e-commerce features are able to run independently of Shopify. The platform is maintained through a CMS system, making it easy for the client to edit and input new information. The web app was built using React.
What is the team composition?
I worked directly with the CTO, a project manager, and a developer. There were other teammates working in the background.
How did you come to work with DigitalSuits?
I met with the CEO and CTO before hiring them, and they were pretty confident about their ability to deliver. Their experience with Shopify was impressive, and they were willing to take on challenges.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent about $30,000 on their services.
What is the status of this engagement?
The first project was built from June–September 2020. Since then, we’ve started another project with them and continue to rely on them for maintenance.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
They’re an accountable team that has experience in the industry. Even when they don’t immediately know an answer to our questions, they take the time to dig for a technical solution. They’re a great team to collaborate with.
How did DigitalSuits perform from a project management standpoint?
Their availability, project management, and sense of accountability are great. We never have to hold their hand through issues, which is a big reason why we continue to work with them. We communicate with them through Slack, Google Drive, Jira, and Zoom.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their accountability was the most important.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They could have been more thorough budgeters from the beginning of the project.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
They’re a great team.
