Shopify stores don't fail loudly. They just quietly stop converting.

A Shopify app update breaks your checkout at 11pm. A Shopify theme edit six months ago is still slowing every page down. Nobody's watching until a customer complains. ControlF5 runs ongoing Shopify maintenance so small breakages get caught and fixed before they cost you sales.

Shopify Maintenance

The problems you don't see coming.

Your Shopify theme, your Shopify apps, and Shopify itself all update independently and often. None of them ask permission first.
Trigger: Shopify app update

A widget silently breaks add-to-cart

A review or upsell Shopify app pushes an update, and the add-to-cart button stops responding on mobile. Nobody’s told. It just shows up as fewer orders.
Trigger: old Shopify theme edit

A "quick fix" is still slowing every page

A one-off code change from months ago never got cleaned up, and it’s been quietly adding load time to every single page since.
Trigger: expired token

An integration stops syncing

Email, loyalty or review Shopify integrations rely on tokens that expire. When one does, data stops flowing, and it can take weeks to notice.
Trigger: no backup

One bad edit, nothing to roll back to

Without scheduled, verified backups, a mistake during a launch or edit becomes a full rebuild instead of a five-minute restore.

Ongoing coverage, not a one-time cleanup.

Every plan below runs on a recurring schedule. We don’t wait for something to break before we look at your store.
$ Shopify updates

Shopify Theme & Shopify app updates

Scheduled updates for your Shopify theme and installed Shopify apps, tested on staging first so nothing goes live broken.
$ test checkout

Bug fixes & QA

Regular checks across cart, checkout, discounts and shipping rules to catch breakages before customers do.
$ watch speed

Performance monitoring

Page speed and Core Web Vitals tracked over time, with fixes for whatever’s dragging your Shopify store down.
$ backup and verify

Security & backups

Scheduled, verified backups plus checks on access, permissions and staff logins.
$ uptime and alert

Uptime & error monitoring

Automated alerts for downtime, checkout errors or broken pages, flagged before they cost you a day of sales.
$ support and priority

Priority support

A direct line to the same team that built your Shopify store, instead of starting over with a new freelancer each time.

Pick the level of coverage your store needs.

Most picked

Store, maintained

Store, on call

Four steps, starting with a free look at what's already broken.

01

Free store check

We scan your Shopify theme, Shopify apps, checkout and speed and hand you the issue list. No commitment required.

02

Fix the backlog

We clear existing issues first, so maintenance starts from a clean, stable baseline.

03

Go on schedule

Updates, QA and monitoring run on the plan’s cadence, quietly, in the background.

04

Report & adjust

You get a monthly report of what was caught and fixed, and we adjust coverage as your Shopify store grows.

Results from stores on a maintenance plan.

A look at outcomes from Shopify stores we’ve built, migrated, and now maintain on a running plan.

Obi Outfitters — Baby & Pet Apparel (D2C, USA)

We built Obi Outfitters’ Shopify store from scratch, and we’ve stayed on to maintain it since launch, keeping the theme, app stack and integrations updated as the brand’s catalogue and campaigns grow, so nothing quietly breaks in the background.

YallaToys — Toys, Baby Care & Children's Books (Qatar & Bahrain)

After migrating a 25,000+ product Magento store to Shopify across two countries and two languages, we continue to maintain YallaToys, keeping updates, backups and its bilingual app stack running cleanly across both markets.

B3Books — Books & Stationery

We built B3Books’ Shopify store from the ground up and now maintain it on an ongoing retainer, keeping the theme, apps and checkout running smoothly as their catalogue and order volume grow.

Shopify apps we work with, and keep working, every day.

Part of Shopify maintenance is knowing how these Shopify apps behave together on Shopify, so an update to one doesn’t quietly break another.
