Mint Media maintains Shopify stores on fixed monthly plans. Our team reviews app and theme updates, makes product and content changes, handles small development tweaks and monitors the storefront and checkout, using 3 to 7 developer hours a month. ### How much does a Shopify maintenance retainer cost? Offshore retainers start around $150 per month, while North American agencies typically charge $600 to $1,700 for 4 to 10 hours. Mint Media's Shopify plans are $450, $750 and $1,050 per month for 3, 5 and 7 developer hours, with no setup fee. ### Do I need a developer after my Shopify store launches? Most stores do. Shopify keeps the platform running, but apps update, themes need fixes, promotions need new sections and integrations break. A maintenance plan gives you a developer for those jobs without hiring one full time. ### Who reviews Shopify app and theme updates so nothing breaks? On a Mint Media plan, we do. Theme and app updates are reviewed and tested against your store's customizations before they go live, and anything that causes a conflict is rolled back and fixed. FAQ ## Plan details ### Is hosting included? Shopify hosting is already part of your Shopify subscription, so our Shopify plans focus on the store itself: updates, changes, monitoring and development. ### What if my store is on Shopify Plus? Shopify Plus stores have their own plans with more developer hours, covering checkout extensions, Shopify Functions, Flow and B2B. ### Is there a setup fee or a long-term contract? No. There is no setup fee and no minimum contract. Plans are billed monthly and you can cancel at any time. ### What happens to hours I don't use? Unused hours roll over for up to 3 months, so a quiet month is not wasted. If you need more time in a busy month, extra hours are billed at your plan's hourly rate. ### What isn't included in the monthly hours? Plan hours cover fixes, content changes and small improvements. Larger projects such as a theme rebuild or a custom app are quoted separately, and extra hours are billed at $150 per hour.
