Shopify maintenance and store management service

Shopify maintenance is the ongoing work of keeping a Shopify store fast, secure, and revenue-ready: theme updates in dev preview, app health checks, checkout monitoring, script tag audits, and same-day product / collection edits. Our Shopify care plans start at $149/mo because ecommerce downtime costs more per minute than a brochure site does per week.

What we do every month on your Shopify site

Runs whether you asked for anything or not. Reported back to you in plain language.

  • Theme + app updates staged in a duplicate theme, previewed, then swapped live
  • Checkout, Stripe / Shop Pay, and PayPal webhook monitoring
  • Script tag audit (GTM, pixel, third-party) with performance impact per script
  • Product and collection creation, variant setup, metafield management
  • Speed report focused on cart-to-checkout conversion
  • Weekly report during high-season (Nov and Dec) instead of monthly

How we work inside Shopify

  • We work as a limited-permission staff account. You own the store, we do the work.
  • Every theme change goes to a preview URL for you to sign off on before it goes live.
  • For Shopify Plus, we set up Shopify Flow rules and Launchpad campaigns.
  • For high-volume stores, we watch the Shopify status page and Stripe status page and alert you.

What counts as an "edit" on Shopify

Edits are what you request. Management is what we run in the background. Here's what a typical edit looks like on this platform.

  • New products, variants, and collections
  • Landing pages built on your existing theme sections
  • Header / footer copy and menu changes
  • Discount and campaign setup
  • Theme section additions from your style guide
  • Metafield and metaobject configuration

Shopify maintenance FAQ

How much does Shopify maintenance cost?+

The honest range is $200-$500/mo for base store care and $500-$1,500/mo when a monthly edit block is included. Our Store Care plan starts at $149/mo because we manage a fleet, not one-off retainers. Storetasker and hourly Shopify experts run $85-$200/hr, which adds up fast once you're doing more than one edit a month.

Do you support Shopify Plus?+

Yes. Commerce Scale is the tier most Plus stores land on. It covers Shopify Flow, Launchpad, scripts (for stores still on Rivet/Order Editor equivalents), and the extra webhook surface Plus stores have.

Do you build custom Shopify apps?+

Small custom apps and theme app extensions, yes. Full apps meant for the Shopify App Store we don't build. We can recommend a builder if you need one.

Can you handle Black Friday and Cyber Monday load?+

Yes. BFCM prep is a fixed-scope engagement we run every October: theme freeze plan, checkout stress test, app audit, discount rehearsal, and a 24/7 on-call engineer for the weekend itself.
