Shopify Developer - Custom API Integrations + High-End Storefront Design (Healthcare)

Please read before applying: This project has two equally important requirements, and I need someone who’s strong in both, not one or the other. First, this is a real backend integration job: connecting Shopify to a telehealth provider network and multiple pharmacy APIs, handling live orders and prescriptions. Get this wrong and things fail. Second, the storefront needs to look premium and custom, not like a generic template. If you’re only strong in design or only strong in backend work, please don’t apply, I need both, or I need to know upfront which one you’re strongest in and can prove it. Project Overview: Launching a telehealth brand on Shopify. This isn’t a quick template store, the design needs to feel high-end, custom, and trustworthy (patients are making a health purchase, not buying a t-shirt), while the backend needs to reliably connect Shopify to a telehealth provider network (this is the platform that handles doctor visits and prescribing, similar to companies like Doctegrity or WopScript if you’ve worked with those) and multiple pharmacy partners for prescriptions and fulfillment data. Launching initially with a smaller product set, but the site and integrations need to be architected to scale to multiple categories (e.g. weight loss, hormone therapy, skincare) and 10+ SKUs over time without requiring a rebuild. Design Requirements: • Fully custom-feeling storefront, not an out-of-the-box template look • Strong, modern brand execution, clean UI, high-end feel appropriate for a healthcare/wellness brand • Smooth, conversion-optimized checkout and product flow • Site structure (navigation, collections, filtering) should be built to scale across multiple product categories, not just a single-category storefront • Please include a portfolio link with real custom Shopify builds, not just installed themes with a logo swapped in Critical Integration Requirements (this is not optional or secondary): • Build custom middleware using Shopify webhooks (order creation, fulfillment events) connecting to a telehealth provider network’s API (handles prescribing) and multiple pharmacy APIs (handle fulfillment) • Build routing logic so different products can be mapped to different pharmacies (e.g. Product A fulfilled by Pharmacy X, Product B by Pharmacy Y), not a single flat connection to one pharmacy • Handle authentication, data mapping, and error handling per integration, each pharmacy has a different API structure • Ensure fulfillment/tracking status flows reliably back into Shopify • Architect the data flow so sensitive health information stays out of Shopify’s database • Set up hosting for the custom integration app (Google Cloud or AWS) • Test the full order lifecycle end to end, including failed orders, refunds, retries To Apply, Please Include: • A portfolio showing your best custom Shopify design work • A specific example of a custom API/webhook integration you’ve built (not an installed app), or be upfront if this isn’t your strength and you’d want to bring in a partner for that piece • Estimated cost and timeline, broken out separately for design vs. integration work
