Choose my Shopify support scope

Prices cover the listed scope. Additional work and external costs are quoted separately.

From request to release

A clear path for every store change.

Small requests deserve the same clarity as large projects: what changes, who approves it and which store behaviour needs checking.

  1. Describe & prioritise

    Share the affected page, the issue and the desired outcome. We confirm urgency and dependencies.

  2. Estimate & approve

    Agree the acceptance check and time allowance, including testing and release work.

  3. Preview & check

    Review the change in a draft theme where appropriate, then check the affected buying journey.

  4. Release & record

    Publish the approved change and record the work, time used and rollback route.

Theme updates

Inspect the release notes and any code conflicts before using the updated draft.

What we check

Check custom sections, app content and the main shopping pages.

Store checks

Review the agreed forms, product options and cart journeys alongside the task queue.

What we check

Document failures and the next action, including third-party dependencies.

Backup responsibilities

A theme copy protects theme code and settings; other store data needs its own backup approach.

What we check

Confirm which exports or backup tools cover the agreed recovery needs.

Shopify Support and Maintenance

Before you decide

Questions worth asking.

If my store has a problem, when will someone respond?

The proposed target is a first reply within one business day during the agreed coverage window. That is a response target, not a guaranteed fix time. Choose five, ten or twenty monthly hours for the agreed task queue. The care agreement must name the working hours, timezone and escalation route; 24/7 staffing is excluded.

What can five hours cover?

It depends on the work. Estimate each task before scheduling it, include testing/release time and keep a time log. A few content or section adjustments may fit; complex integration work should be separately assessed.

What happens to unused hours or extra work?

The quote must state whether hours roll over and for how long. Additional work needs approval with its price before it begins. A monthly allowance should not be interpreted as unlimited changes or guaranteed resolution of third-party outages.

What is the starting budget and what is separate?

$400 / 5h; $750 / 10h; $1,400 / 20h per month. One-time access/handover review $150 – $300 These are published USD prices. The written quote must state the complete cost, payment schedule and applicable taxes.

When can the work begin and what do you need from me?

Monthly queue; target first reply within 1 business day in agreed coverage. To scope the work, prepare: Store; typical tasks; expected monthly hours. The schedule starts after the required access, inputs and approvals are ready.

How are revisions, extra work and support agreed?

Use the listed deliverables and exclusions as the starting point. The quote must state acceptance checks, review rounds, payment stages, cancellation arrangements and any ongoing support. Requested additions need an agreed cost and schedule before implementation.
