Custom code or Apps?

When to Use These Solutions vs. Apps

While these Liquid solutions are powerful, they're not always the right choice:

Use Liquid When:

• You need complete control over the functionality

• Performance is critical (no external API calls)

• The logic is specific to your business

• You want to avoid monthly app fees

Consider an App When:

• You need a quick solution without development time

• The feature requires complex backend processing

• You want regular updates and support

• The app provides additional services (like analytics)

As a rule of thumb: if a feature is core to your competitive advantage and needs to be perfectly optimized, custom Liquid is usually the better choice.
