HGDE Studio · Mannheim, Germany

Shopify apps built from running a real online store.

We run our own Shopify store, HalloGeschenk.de – and build the tools we wished we’d had there. First up: HGDE MatchGrid.

HGDE MatchGrid: image cards guide shoppers to a matching product

Our first release

HGDE MatchGrid

Image cards guide shoppers step by step to a matching product. With bundles, whole sets of real products go into the cart in one click – with a tiered discount that Shopify calculates at checkout.

  • Product finder with image cards – no dead ends
  • Bundles made from real products in your store
  • Added through the theme editor, no code
  • In English and German

HGDE MatchGrid is available on the Shopify App Store. You can try the finder and bundles live on our demo page.

Where it all starts

HalloGeschenk.de

HalloGeschenk.de is our German Shopify store for personalised gifts and fun little presents.

  • Photo gifts, including AI effects such as cartoon or pop art
  • Engravings on jewellery, glasses and more
  • Personalisation with a live preview
  • Gift ideas ready to ship

Running it every day shows us where shoppers get stuck and what costs merchants time. That’s where our apps come from.

How we work

Small, lightweight, honest.

Built from practice

Every app starts with a problem we had in our own store – not on a whiteboard.

Light on your store

No heavy code in your theme. HGDE MatchGrid needs about 3 KB of JavaScript and 2 KB of CSS (gzip).

Privacy-minded

We store as little as possible. HGDE MatchGrid collects no data about store visitors and sets no cookies.

Also from us

Sortylendo

Android apps for finding things again. Which code belongs to which parcel, which suitcase holds the charging cables, which box has the screws? Sortylendo always solves it the same way: you take a photo, and it becomes a card.

  • Parcel – which shipping label belongs to which parcel
  • Travel – what is in which suitcase
  • Moves – which box goes in which room
  • Warranty – receipt photographed, warranty in view

Everything stays on your device: no account, no sign-up, no server. Pay once instead of subscribing. Coming soon to Google Play.
