**Shopify App Developer — Build a Custom Social Gallery + Sephora-style Beauty Store** We run Femme Lux Beauty, a growing prestige beauty retailer (~52 brands, physical stores + warehouses). Our Shopify store is live but needs a strong developer to take it to a Sephora-level experience. **The centerpiece is a custom Shopify app that powers a social Gallery** — so app development is required, not theme-only work. **THE GALLERY (flagship deliverable):** An Instagram-style social feature, built as a custom Shopify app: - Logged-in customers upload photos/videos with captions - Like, comment, and follow other users - User profiles (username, avatar, posts, followers/following) - Tag Femme Lux products in each post - Tagged posts auto-appear on those product pages under "See it in Real Life" (shoppable UGC) - Admin moderation queue (approve before public), report/ban, image moderation - Notifications on likes/comments/follows This is real social functionality with a backend and database — NOT a third-party UGC widget. If you can't build that, this role isn't a fit. **Plus the rest of the store build (full spec to share):** - Theme cleanup (links, menu hierarchy, SEO, content) - Reviews & Q&A with skin-type/tone/concern filters + photo reviews - Advanced filtering & search; wishlist ("Loves"); personalized recommendations - Loyalty/points program with tiers; shade/foundation finder quiz - Store pickup (BOPIS), store locator with inventory, in-store service & event booking **Must-haves:** - Senior Shopify **app development** (Shopify CLI, App Bridge, Admin & Storefront APIs, app proxy, theme app extensions, webhooks) - Full-stack: backend + database, auth, media uploads, image moderation - Strong theme dev (Liquid, metafields/metaobjects) - Portfolio of live Shopify stores AND custom apps **Reply with:** 1. A custom Shopify app you've built (link/repo/listing) — ideally with social or user-generated content 2. Have you built a feature with user uploads + likes + comments + follows? Show it. 3. Briefly: how would you architect the Gallery app described above (data model, auth, where posts live, how product tagging surfaces on product pages)? 4. Links to 2–3 Shopify stores you've built 5. Estimate broken down by phase, your rate, and availability We move fast and value quality.

Hi, The Gallery is the core risk, so I’d prioritize architecture before theme work. It needs user accounts, media uploads, moderation, likes/comments/follows, shoppable product tagging, notifications, and stable product-page UGC. If the auth flow or data model is weak, the app will become unstable quickly. My approach would be to map the full Gallery flow first: customer authentication, upload pipeline, post storage, moderation queue, and how tagged posts are surfaced in Shopify product pages via app proxy/theme app extensions. Then I’d build the backend and database structure, followed by the storefront UI, admin tools, and notification events to keep everything fast and maintainable. Key focus areas: Gallery data model Upload/auth flow Moderation and reports Product tagging display Product-page UGC surface I have experience building Shopify-facing social and content workflows, and I can help design this so it scales cleanly. Timeline: I can start with the architecture and flow audit immediately, then move into implementation once the moderation and publishing rules are confirmed.

Hi — Elias here from Miami. I see you’re looking to build a custom Shopify app that combines a social gallery with a beauty store. This is an interesting project that aims to enhance user engagement and streamline product discovery. A common issue in systems like this is ensuring seamless integration between the social gallery and the e-commerce functionalities. What usually matters most here is the scalability of the platform to handle user-generated content while maintaining performance. Additionally, managing user permissions for content sharing and ensuring a smooth checkout process can be complex. My approach would be to design a modular architecture that allows for easy updates and enhancements. This ensures that as user needs evolve, the app can adapt without significant overhauls. Emphasizing clean code and robust API integrations will enhance maintainability and reliability. I’ve worked on similar Shopify projects, focusing on creating engaging user experiences while ensuring backend stability. A few questions to better understand the scope: Q1 – What specific features do you envision for the social gallery functionality? Q2 – Are there particular integrations or payment gateways you want to prioritize? Q3 – How do you see user roles being managed in the store? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi - I read it closely: the flagship is a custom Shopify APP powering an Instagram-style social Gallery, not theme-only work, so I'm bidding as a Shopify app developer. For Femme Lux Beauty I'd build the Gallery app: logged-in customers upload photos/videos with captions, like/comment/follow, user profiles, and a moderated feed - integrated into your live store and elevated toward a Sephora-level experience across your ~52 brands. Custom app (embedded admin + storefront surface), proper data model, media handling, and performance at scale. We build Shopify and full-stack features regularly. I'll share an app architecture + Gallery UX outline. - Muhammad Idrees / Global IT Vision Pvt. Ltd

Hi I have strong experience building custom Shopify apps and premium ecommerce experiences using Shopify CLI, App Bridge, Admin API, Storefront API, app proxy, theme app extensions, webhooks, Liquid, metafields, metaobjects, backend services, and database-driven features. For Femme Lux Beauty, I can build the Gallery as a real custom Shopify app with customer profiles, media uploads, captions, likes, comments, follows, product tagging, notifications, reporting, moderation, and admin approval workflows. The main technical challenge is making social UGC work tightly with Shopify products while keeping uploads secure, moderated, fast, and shoppable across product pages. My solution would be to store posts, media, profiles, follows, comments, likes, reports, and product tags in a dedicated backend/database, authenticate users through Shopify customer sessions, and surface approved tagged posts through app proxy or theme app extensions. I can also integrate image/video moderation, upload validation, admin review queues, ban/report tools, and product-page blocks like “See it in Real Life.” Beyond the app, I can support theme cleanup, advanced filters, reviews/Q&A, wishlist, recommendations, loyalty, quizzes, store pickup, locator, and booking flows. I will focus on a scalable Shopify architecture that feels polished for beauty shoppers and remains manageable for your internal team. Thanks, Hercules

As a seasoned full-stack development team with an emphasis on Shopify-related projects, we're confident that we can elevate your Femme Lux Beauty store to the next level. With over a decade in business, we've worked with diverse e-commerce clients across the globe to create scalable applications and automate their business processes which is in line with what you're looking for. Our Shopify app developement skills are particularly relevant here. For instance, we recently built a custom social plugin where users could upload photos/ videos, like, comment and follow other users. Powered by a sophisticated backend and database, this particular project was focused on complete user experience - a similarity that stands out with your project needs. What makes us even more compatible is that had built features like user uploads, likes, comments and follows before and your gallery app offer us another opportunity to further refine and enhance our expertise in this niche. We've also worked credits directly on product pages based on their tags for other cliets; so thanks to our familiarity with the architecture of such apps, this can be easily carried forward here as well. In terms of architecture, it would be ideal to implement this as a separate service connected to the products through tagging.

Steering your Shopify store to a Sephora-like experience requires the keen eye of a developer who possesses a solid understanding of handling backend, database management, and authentication system while creating that visual 'WOW' factor. With 13+ years providing cutting-edge web automation, data extraction, AI solutions, and full-stack development, I am the ideal candidate to take on this project. In my portfolio is a remarkable Shopify app I built called 'TrendGram' which features rich social functionalities such as users uploading images, "liking" others' posts, commenting and following other users. Seamlessly integrating the backdrop infrastructure and database architecture for our Instagram-like social gallery won't be new ground to me at all. To facilitate an engaging user experience that amplifies engagement and conversion rates on your store's product pages, I would implement an image tagging system wherein tagged posts automatically appear under "See it in Real Life". This way, customers can shop each look with ease. For the rate and estimate broken down by phase, I'd offer it based on discussion with you about the specific elements you need prioritized. As a seasoned freelancer known for my speedy yet top-quality deliveries, availability isn't an issue. Let me build a fortress out of brick. Choose me today let's make this happen!

Hi, this is Jorge from IT GLOBAL SOLUTION LLC (FL, US). I’ve built Shopify projects like your concept, especially custom Shopify apps that power real user-generated content with moderation and social interactions (not third‑party widgets). Turning tagged UGC into shoppable product-page content can be a strong, scalable growth lever. My plan is a custom Gallery app using Shopify CLI plus App Bridge for embedded admin UX. I’ll implement Shopify OAuth, then use Shopify Admin and Storefront APIs with webhooks so product/tag changes stay in sync. Posts and media will live in a backend database (PostgreSQL) with an upload pipeline for image/video processing and storage, plus moderation states. I’ll model users, follower edges, posts, media, comments, likes, and permissions relationally with server-side checks; only approved posts are exposed to the storefront. Product tagging will be captured per post via a tag table keyed to product IDs. “See it in Real Life” will be driven by a theme extension that queries approved posts for the current product (Liquid), using lightweight metafields/metaobjects for linking. Likes/comments/follows will be handled via event-driven jobs so notifications and fanout are reliable.
