Monthly Shopify maintenance

Monthly maintenance gives you a senior Shopify developer with up to 6 hours reserved for your store every month, from €400/month + VAT, with no lock-in. It covers fixing what breaks, keeping the store fast, making the changes that come up and adopting new Shopify features, without having to find someone new every time.

What maintenance covers

• Bugs: something stopped working after a new app or a theme change? I fix it.
• Speed: I check what's slowing the store down, including too many apps and oversized images.
• Changes: new sections, campaigns, pages, theme and checkout tweaks.
• New features: when Shopify releases something useful for your store, I tell you and set it up.
• Apps: I review installed apps and tell you which ones cost money without adding anything.

Who it's for

• Stores that are already selling and can't wait a week for a fix.
• Teams without an in-house developer who need someone who knows the store inside out.
• Stores with regular campaigns (sales, Black Friday, new collections) that need changes every month.

If your store is still being built, start with the audit or a new store build. Maintenance comes after.

How it works

1. Requests by email, tracked in a shared list showing what's pending, in progress and done.
2. Priorities agreed with you. Whatever is costing sales comes first.
3. A monthly summary of what was done.
4. No lock-in. You can stop whenever you like.

If you need more than the included hours in a given month, I tell you the cost upfront, so there are never surprises on the invoice.

Why work with me

I've worked only with Shopify since 2016, on small stores and on brands like Betsey Johnson and Dolce Vita. I know the problems that show up as a store grows: piling-up apps, patched themes, checkouts that slow down on the busiest days. You talk to me, not to a ticket queue. Portugal shares a time zone with the UK and Ireland and overlaps with US East Coast mornings, so urgent fixes don't wait for the next day. In audits I often find apps nobody uses still being paid for, and maintenance is the right moment to clean them up.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Shopify maintenance cost?

From €400/month + VAT, with up to 6 hours a month included and no lock-in.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. Maintenance is monthly with no lock-in. You can stop whenever you like.

What if I need more hours in a given month?

I tell you the cost of the extra work beforehand and only go ahead once you approve it.

Do you maintain stores you didn't build?

Yes. I start with a review of the store to understand the theme, apps and integrations, and from there I work on it as if it were my own.
