Shopify development, every month

A Developpy retainer gives your Shopify store a monthly block of development hours for troubleshooting, theme customization, checkout upgrades and ongoing improvements, handled by a team that already knows your code.

What a retainer includes

Every month

A block of development hours, a team that knows your store, and a queue you control.

Monthly development hours

A fixed number of hours each month, spent on what you ask for, in the order you set.

Troubleshooting

Broken sections, app conflicts, checkout and payment issues found and fixed, with the cause explained.

Theme customization

New sections and blocks, layout changes and seasonal pages, built so your team can edit them afterwards.

Checkout upgrade

New checkout extensions and Functions, and the ones that replace your old customizations.

Custom domain setup

Domains, DNS, email records and redirects set up and checked.

How hours work

You see the hours used in real time. You can pause between months, with no notice period.

How a retainer runs

Typical duration
Month to month, no minimum term
  1. Onboarding

    We read the theme and the apps, write down what we find and set up the staging store and the request queue.

  2. Monthly cycle

    You send requests, we estimate them, you set the order, we ship them on staging and then live.

  3. Monthly report

    At the end of each month, a short report: what shipped, what is still in the queue and what we suggest next. The hours used are visible in real time.

Questions about support and retainers

How do retainer hours work?

A retainer is a fixed number of development hours each month. You send requests, we estimate each one before we start, and you set the order. You see the hours used in real time, and every month ends with a report of the work shipped.

Can we see how many hours are left?

Yes, at any time. The hours used and the hours left are visible in real time, and every month ends with a report of the work shipped.

Can we pause?

Yes, between months. Tell us before the next month starts and we stop the hours until you are ready to resume. There is no minimum term and no notice period.

Do you support stores you did not build?

Yes. A retainer starts with an onboarding of the theme and the apps already in place, whoever built them.
