Start with the scope

Projects have defined deliverables. Maintenance covers recurring tasks.

Up to 20 products, a responsive storefront, a working preview, and agreed revisions. Confirm who supplies content and any custom features.

Changes to existing pages, templates, or buying flows. Agree on layouts, sections, and reviews; migrations and integrations need separate scope.

Move agreed records and rebuild on Shopify. Include redirects, app replacements, and launch testing in the quote.

Routine updates, small content or product changes, and basic support. Confirm task limits and response times; larger features need a quote.

Prices in USD. Shopify plans, paid themes, apps, and provider fees are separate. Final scope determines the quote.

These labels overlap: freelancers and agencies can both specialize in Shopify.

Direct contact with the builder. Check relevant work, availability, and support coverage.

Experience with your specific problem, such as theme code, subscriptions, or migrations.

A team for broader delivery. Confirm who handles design, development, and feedback.

Give each provider the same brief, integrations, and target date.

List deliverables, exclusions, required content, and who owns accounts, licenses, and code.

Agree on milestones, approvals, revisions, and how extra work affects the price.

Confirm launch checks, documentation, defect coverage, and maintenance response times.

For hourly work, set an estimate and spending limit. For maintenance, confirm task allowances, rollover, and cancellation terms.
