A contained issue should not require a long retainer. A store with a serious roadmap should not be managed as a queue of isolated tickets. The options below separate those needs clearly.
Defined before work starts
Scope, price and acceptance criteria are written before implementation.
Senior delivery
The person shaping the recommendation stays close to implementation and release.
Built for established stores
The strongest fit is a DTC or B2B business already generating more than $500K per year.
Defined projects
Start with the problem that needs to be removed.
Project work has a fixed commercial boundary. The exact scope is confirmed after the store and the available evidence are reviewed.
The $2,500 Scoped Shopify Intervention is intentionally narrow: one contained issue or implementation with a clear finish line. It is not a redesign, migration, CRO program, Shopify Plus architecture project or substitute for ongoing support.
Scoped Shopify Intervention
From $2,500
Defined after technical review
One specific storefront issue with a narrow, testable scope
Included
Senior technical review of the defined issue
Written scope, assumptions and acceptance criteria
One contained feature, fix or technical implementation
Implementation in a development theme or controlled environment
Quality assurance on the agreed customer or admin flow
Release notes and controlled production handoff
Strict boundaries
Full redesigns or broad UX programs
Platform migrations, replatforming or data migration
CRO programs or funnel-wide optimization

Shopify Plus architecture or enterprise systems work
Open-ended monthly support or multiple unrelated requests
These plans fit a store that needs recurring implementation but does not yet need broad senior ownership across growth, engineering and releases.
Starter is deliberately temporary: $1,495 per month for a maximum of six months. At the end of month six, the engagement either moves to another published retainer that matches the ongoing scope or ends.
