Your Dedicated Shopify Partner
Ongoing Shopify Support & Maintenance Membership
Tired of complicated retainers and tracking hours? Our Shopify Support & Maintenance Membership gives you direct access to a Shopify Partner agency without the hassle of quotes, billable-hour debates, or scope arguments. We work as your dedicated ongoing partner, handling everything from quick fixes and theme tweaks to app integrations and strategic growth projects. It’s the simple, flexible, predictable way to keep your Shopify store moving forward.
Support That Puts Your Business First
Traditional retainers are broken. They create unnecessary overhead with endless quotes, complex project management, and a focus on billable hours instead of results. We do things differently. Our Shopify support and maintenance membership is built on a simple premise: direct, effective support for a predictable monthly fee. Here’s what that means for you:
One Predictable Monthly Fee
No more “how much will this cost?” anxiety. Your budget is simple and predictable, allowing you to focus on your ROI, not our invoices.
Focus on Value, Not Hours
We don’t sell blocks of time. Whether a task takes 30 minutes or a full day, the goal is always the same: to deliver the best possible result for your business.
Direct & Transparent Communication
You’ll get access to our ClickUp project board, where you can add tasks, chat directly with us, and see exactly what we’re working on at any time. No go-betweens. No communication maze.
Complete Flexibility
Your business needs can change. If you’re heading into a slow season or just require a break, you can pause or cancel your membership at any time, no questions asked.
An Unlimited Task Queue
Have an idea at 10 PM? Add it to the board. From minor bug fixes to brainstorming a new feature, you can add as many tasks to your queue as you like. We’ll work through them one at a time, keeping your business constantly moving forward.
A Proactive Growth Partner
This is more than a support ticket system. The longer we work together, the better we understand your business. We’ll provide strategic advice, recommend new tools, and help you navigate the Shopify ecosystem to ensure you’re always on the right path for growth.
How the Membership Works
We’ve designed our workflow to be as straightforward and effective as our membership model. Get started in 3 simple steps.
1. Subscribe & Get Onboarded
Once you subscribe, we’ll set up your dedicated ClickUp board and send you an invitation. This private space is your central hub for all communication, files, and task management, keeping everything organized and in one place.
2. Add Requests to Your Board
Simply add all the tasks you need to your ClickUp board. Whether it’s fixing a bug, designing a new landing page, or discussing a strategy, just write a new task. You can add as much detail as you like, attach files, and set priorities. There’s no limit to how many requests you can add to your queue.
3. We Work & Deliver
We get to work on your active requests and deliver on your plan’s cadence: weekly on Essentials, every 2 to 3 business days on Builder, and every 1 to 2 business days on Growth. For larger projects, we communicate a clear timeline upfront or break them down into smaller tasks. You get a notification when work is ready for your review, then we move on to the next item in your queue. It’s a continuous cycle of progress without the overhead of a traditional retainer.

Find the Right Membership for You
All our memberships are built on the same foundation: an unlimited task queue, direct communication, and the flexibility to pause or cancel anytime. Choose the plan that matches the speed and strategic depth your business needs to grow.
Every plan includes an unlimited queue: add as many requests as you like, whenever you like. “Requests in progress” is simply how many of them we work on in parallel. The moment one is delivered, the next in your queue starts automatically, so more parallel requests means a faster-moving store.

Shopify Support & Maintenance Membership FAQ
What is the Shopify Support & Maintenance Membership?
Think of it as having an expert Shopify partner on your team, without the cost of a full-time hire. For a flat monthly fee, you get an unlimited queue for tasks and direct access to us for ongoing support, optimizations, and strategic advice. It’s a simple, flexible way to continuously improve your store and drive growth.
What does “one request in progress at a time” mean?
Your queue is unlimited, so add every task you can think of and order them however you like. “In progress” is how many of those tasks we are actively working on at any moment. On Essentials, we work your queue one task at a time, and the moment a task is delivered, the next in line starts automatically. Builder runs two tasks in parallel and Growth runs three, which is how the higher tiers move through your list faster. Nothing ever falls off your queue; the in-progress count just sets the pace.
What counts as a request?
A request is any single task for your Shopify store. This could be anything from a quick bug fix, a theme customization, setting up a new app, or designing a promotional banner. You add it to your board in ClickUp, and we get it done. It’s designed to be fast and efficient, letting you set the pace for your store’s evolution.
How is this different from a traditional retainer or hourly contract?
The membership model is designed to eliminate the friction and unpredictable costs of traditional options. Here’s the difference:
- Predictable Investment: One flat monthly fee. No surprise invoices or scope creep. This makes budgeting for growth incredibly simple.
- Uninterrupted Workflow: Instead of quoting and approving every small task, you just add it to the queue. This keeps your store moving forward without constant administrative overhead.
- A True Partnership: We become deeply familiar with your brand and goals. You get consistent quality from a team that understands your business, not a different freelancer for every job.
- Total Flexibility: Unlike long-term agency contracts, you’re in complete control. You can pause or cancel your membership anytime.
How fast is turnaround on requests?
Most requests are completed within 2 to 3 business days. For more complex tasks, we’ll communicate a clear timeline upfront or break it down into smaller deliverables. Our goal is to maintain a steady, predictable rhythm of progress for your store.
What types of work is the membership best for?
The membership is perfect for the majority of day-to-day Shopify tasks. This includes theme customizations (CSS, Liquid), app integrations and configuration, performance optimizations, bug fixes, conversion rate optimization (CRO) tweaks, setting up promotions, and small design updates. If it helps you run or grow your store, it’s likely a great fit.
What’s NOT included in the membership?
The membership is designed for ongoing support and development, not large-scale projects. Tasks like a full website redesign, building a brand-new Shopify store, or complex data migrations fall outside the scope. We handle those as separate, fixed-price projects. For new builds, see our Shopify Store Setup and Shopify Development services. For migrations, see our Shopify Migration services for what those projects involve.
What if I have an urgent issue or emergency?
We understand that emergencies happen. While we normally work through your queue in order, flag any urgent item in ClickUp and we will assess it immediately and communicate how we can best prioritize it to support you.
Can I pause or cancel my membership?
It’s simple. You can pause or cancel your membership at any time. When you pause, we’ll save the remaining days on your subscription, and you can reactivate them whenever you’re ready. There are no hidden fees or penalties.
I’m not sure where to start. Can you help?
That’s a great position to be in. It means you’re ready for growth but need a clear roadmap. That’s why we offer a comprehensive Shopify Store Audit before kicking off a membership. The audit identifies your highest-impact opportunities and gives us a ready-made task list for your queue. Read our Shopify store audit checklist for the framework, then reach out and we’ll walk through it.
How fast is turnaround?
Turnaround depends on your plan. Essentials runs on a weekly delivery cadence, Builder typically delivers each request within 2 to 3 business days, and Growth within 1 to 2 business days. For more complex tasks, we communicate a clear timeline upfront or break the work into smaller deliverables, so your store keeps a steady, predictable rhythm of progress.
