Shopify retainer questions, answered.
What is a Shopify retainer?
A Shopify monthly retainer reserves a set number of expert hours for your store each month — design, development, CRO and growth — so you have an on-call Shopify team without hiring in-house. It is month-to-month, invoiced at the end of each month, and you can cancel anytime.
How much does a Shopify monthly retainer cost?
There is no fixed package price. Every store needs something different, so we scope your retainer around your goals and the dedicated hours you actually need — then recommend the most accurate plan after your free 5-hour trial.
What does the free 5-hour trial include?
Five hours of real work on your store — a fix, an improvement or a quick win you choose — plus a read on where your biggest opportunities are. A no-risk way to see how we work before any commitment. No credit card required.
Do you work with Shopify Plus?
Yes — we are a Shopify Plus agency. Retainers cover standard Shopify and Shopify Plus alike, including Checkout Extensibility, Shopify Functions, headless builds, Markets and B2B.
Can you handle design and development together?
Yes — one senior team covers design, development, growth and platform work. Your dedicated hours flow to wherever they will move the needle most that month, with no hand-offs between agencies.
Is there a lock-in contract?
None. It is month-to-month — you stay because the work is good, not because of a contract. You own your store, theme, accounts, assets and data at all times.
