Shopify development on subscription.
Ongoing Shopify development for $1M–$10M stores.
Monthly subscription, async queue, no scoping calls.
File a card. We ship it.
Two tiers from $1,990/mo.
Cancel anytime, 7-day money-back guarantee.
SB-01 PROBLEM
You hit the DIY ceiling. The alternatives all have a tax.
Freelancers
procurement every time, scoping every time, quality you can't predict twice in a row.
Marketplaces
per-engagement pricing, no continuity, context rebuilt from zero on every task.
Agency retainers
$5–8k a month, an account manager between you and the work, and turnaround that drags.
A full-time hire
$80k+ and a six-month search for ~10–20 hours of work a month.
SB-02 SCOPE
One queue for everything technical on your Shopify store.
Subscribe, get a private Trello board, file tasks as cards. We work the queue and ship to your theme. Unlimited revisions within each card's original scope: we keep working a card until you approve it.
| WE HANDLE | ||
|---|---|---|
| CATEGORY | INCLUDES | EXAMPLES |
| THEME | Theme work: sections, customizations, layout changes | Custom Liquid, JavaScript, CSS, and theme extensions |
| FEATURES | Feature builds: storefront and admin | At the theme and app-config layer |
| FIXES & PERF | Bug fixes: storefront, checkout, and admin | Performance: page speed, asset loading, theme-code cleanup |
| INTEGRATIONS | App integration and app migration: wiring apps in, swapping one for another | Webhook and API integration with tools you already use |
| CHECKOUT & EMAIL | Checkout customization within Shopify Plus and Shopify Functions | Shopify-side email templates: notifications, transactional emails |
| CRO & UPKEEP | Conversion dev work: A/B test infrastructure, layout and copy changes for CRO | Routine maintenance: app updates, deprecation patches, version upgrades |
| WE DON'T | ||
|---|---|---|
| CATEGORY | EXCLUDES | EXAMPLES |
| DESIGN | Design work: Storebolt is technical | Logo, brand, visual direction, illustration |
| STRATEGY | Strategy and consulting: we execute, we don't advise on what to build | “Should we move to Shopify Plus?” · “What apps should we use?” |
| MARKETING | Marketing | SEO, advertising, copywriting |
| PLATFORM MOVES | Migrations off Shopify | Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, custom |
| PUBLIC APPS | Public Shopify App Store apps: single-merchant private apps only | n/a |
| INFRASTRUCTURE | Hosting and DNS | Beyond what Shopify's admin exposes |
| OFF-STORE | Work on anything that isn't your Shopify store | Your Klaviyo account, ERP, marketplace listings |
| CALLS | Calls, meetings, screen-shares | Any duration, any party |
If you absolutely need something from the “We don't” column, write to support@storebolt.co and we'll tell you straight whether it's worth your time asking.
SB-03 PROCESS
How it works
- 1
Subscribe.
Pick a tier and pay through Stripe. You get a private Trello board on signup.
- 2
File a card.
Title, URL, expected outcome, current behavior, priority. You set the priority; we don't reorder your queue.
- 3
We triage within 1 business day.
Every new card gets classified (in scope, out of scope, or handled by rule) with a comment on the card.
- 4
We ship.
In Progress, then In Review with a preview link or a diff. Typical card: ~3 business days on Basic, ~2 on Double-velocity.
- 5
You review.
Approve it, or send it back. Unlimited revisions within the card's original scope until you approve.
ASYNC-ONLYEverything happens on the Trello card. Business days are Monday–Friday, BST.

SB-05 FIT
Who it's for. Who it isn't.
A FIT IF
- You run a $1M–$10M Shopify store and the DIY stack (themes, plugins, piecemeal freelance) has hit its ceiling.
- You're the ops manager who feels the pain and holds the budget, and you want ongoing technical support without managing a hire.
- Your real workload is ~10–20 hours of dev a month: too much to keep re-scoping with freelancers, not enough to justify a full-time developer.
- You can work async: file a card, we ship it, you review it on the board.
NOT A FIT IF
- You need it in the next four hours. Storebolt is for ongoing support, not emergencies. For that, hire a freelancer.
- You need design: logo, brand, visual direction. Storebolt is technical; design is a separate engagement you handle elsewhere.
- You're a solo shop under $1M. Storebolt is scoped and priced for mid-market stores in the $1M–$10M range.
- You want calls, Slack, or any channel outside the board. Storebolt is async-only. Trello card comments are the one channel. Insist on out-of-band and we're not your shop.
SB-06 FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you do calls?
No. Storebolt is async-only. Trello card comments are the only channel: no video calls, no Slack, no phone, of any duration, with any party. If you need to talk it through live, we're not a fit.
How fast is turnaround?
First response within 1 business day on both tiers. Typical card ships in ~3 business days on Basic, ~2 on Double-velocity. Max is 5 business days on Basic, 3 on Double-velocity. Miss that and we credit 25% of your next month. Business days are Monday–Friday, BST.
What if I need it in the next four hours?
Storebolt is for ongoing Shopify support, not emergencies. If you need a fix in the next four hours, hire a freelancer.
How many revisions do I get?
Unlimited, within the card's original scope as filed. We keep working a card until you approve it. A request beyond the original scope is a new card in the queue.
Can I cancel?
Anytime, through the Stripe portal. It takes effect at the end of your current billing period: no pro-rated mid-month refunds. Cards in progress finish out.
Can I pause instead?
Yes, one calendar month at a time, through the Stripe portal. The pause takes effect at your next billing cycle (there's no mid-month pro-rating) and billing resumes automatically at the end of the pause month. You can re-pause for the next month if you need to.
What's the money-back guarantee?
Full refund if you ask within your first 7 days and before you file your third card. Email support@storebolt.co to request it. First billing period only. No questions, no exit interview.
Who does the work?
Storebolt does. You file a card, we ship it. One address, one brand.
What if Double-velocity still isn't enough throughput?
Then you've outgrown a subscription. Double-velocity is the highest tier. If you consistently need more than two cards moving at once, hire a full-time developer.
