However, finding software tailored to specific requirements can be difficult, and building a custom application can require significant time, cost, and development resources. Nitro Commerceis looking to address this challenge with Nitro Apps, an AI-powered platform that allows Shopify merchants to build applications tailored to their stores. Nitro Commercepublicly unveiled the platform atInc42’s ‘The D2C & Retail Summit 2026’, demonstrating how merchants can use prompts to create software for their specific requirements. The startup is bringing what it calls “vibe coding” to Shopify, allowing merchants to describe the software they need instead of developing it from scratch. “You can actually build your own private application on your own Shopify store just by a prompt,” Nitro Commerce cofounder and CEO Umair Mohammad said during the launch.
