Hi,
I’d like to understand / talk to people who have implemented or use a standalone app for admin UI (particularly around order entry flow):
Key questions around:
i) why you might have done that?
ii) How you thought about the standalone app vs. using flows / validations in Shopify.
iii) How much time / effort did it take.
We are on Shopify Plus, and primarily B2B so have a sales team that need to place orders in addition to customer that order online.
Use soemthing as basic as google forms and spreadsheets, or a line of business lowcode service like retool.
Because shopify provides introductory level features they don’t build your business for you or it’s bespoke needs.
Such as granular access controls, custom validations on admin inputs, hiding inputs , adding custom inputs,
e.g. you can add items to an order but that is not the same as a quote builder; etc etc etc etc ad nauseum.
Time needed for all features converted to a budget that is less than the cost of NOT doing it.
