Is this for you? Honestly, not always.
A retainer only works if the work is good. So we would rather tell you no than sell you the wrong thing.
Your store already makes money
And changes need to ship every week, not every quarter.
You have more Shopify work than your team can take
Product data, fixes, new pages and app work keep piling up.
You want one senior person accountable
Someone who owns the code and answers for it.
One project with a clear end
A fixed-price project costs less. Ask for a quote instead.

Still deciding? Fair.
How much does a dedicated Shopify developer cost?
Monthly plans start from $3k for one named senior developer, with unlimited revisions. If your workload is uneven, hourly starts from $70, billed by tracked hours. Switching between the two takes an email.
Can you design too?
Yes. Add design from +$2k a month on top of your developer plan, with unlimited design for your store. New pages, campaign layouts and refreshes are designed and built by the same team.
What can my developer work on?
Anything Shopify: new sections and landing pages, app installs and fixes, product data and metafields, speed housekeeping, B2B and international setups, and checkout extensions on Plus.
How quickly will they reply?
Within hours, not days. It is written into the contract.
Who will actually work on my store?
A named senior developer who stays on your account. No juniors learning on your store, and no new face each time something breaks.
How do requests work day to day?
Send them in Slack or on your project board, in the order you want them done. You see what shipped every week, and once a month you review what is next.
What do you need from me to get started?
Your store URL, collaborator access when the work begins, and the list that is on your mind right now. We start with a free code audit, so your developer begins on the right thing.
Do I need a call to get started?
No. Everything can happen in writing. If you would rather talk it through, we are happy to join a call.
What if I need more than one developer?
Add another. Monthly plans scale by developer, one named developer minimum.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any month, by email. There is no lock-in, and your code, theme and data are always yours.
Is a dedicated developer cheaper than hiring?
Usually by a wide margin. A senior Shopify developer in the US averages about $120k a year in pay, and benefits add roughly another $55k, before recruiting fees. Our monthly plan starts from $3k, and you can cancel any month.
Are you a Shopify Plus Partner?
Yes. Blinc is a Shopify Plus Partner, and our technical lead holds Shopify's B2B and checkout credentials, so Plus features like checkout extensions and B2B are covered.
How is this different from a freelancer?
You get a named senior developer who stays on your account, a contractual reply time and a team behind them that has built over 600 Shopify stores. Our longest retainer is in its fourth year with the same setup.
