FAQ
What is included in a managed support retainer?

Retainers typically include bug fixes, routine maintenance, security monitoring, and a set number of development hours each month. Depending on the plan, they can also include performance checks and minor enhancements, giving your store consistent technical attention without needing to negotiate a new project scope for every small task. We're happy to walk you through the specifics during an initial consultation call.

How quickly do you respond to urgent issues?

Urgent, store-down issues are prioritized and addressed as quickly as possible under our support process, ahead of routine maintenance tasks. While exact response times depend on your specific retainer plan, keeping your store operational during critical issues is always treated as the top priority by our support team. This is handled with careful planning to avoid any disruption to your daily operations.

Can the retainer hours be customized based on my needs?

Yes, retainer hours and overall scope can be adjusted based on your store's size, traffic, and support needs. We review usage periodically and can recommend adjusting the plan up or down, ensuring you're neither paying for unused hours nor running short during busier operational periods. We continually refine our approach based on results and feedback gathered from your team.

Do you handle both bug fixes and new feature requests under the retainer?

Yes, retainers can cover both reactive fixes and planned enhancements within the allocated monthly hours. This means the same support relationship can address unexpected technical issues while also steadily improving your store, rather than requiring a completely separate engagement for each type of work. This gives you greater confidence and control over the outcome of the overall project.

What is the minimum commitment period for a retainer?

Commitment periods vary by plan, and we're happy to discuss options based on your business's specific needs and budget. We generally recommend an initial trial period so you can evaluate the value of the retainer before committing to a longer-term ongoing support arrangement with our team. This helps ensure a smoother, more reliable experience for both your team and your customers.
