Pricing questions
Why do you show 'from' prices?
Because the real price depends on your project. For a store, the size of the catalogue, the integrations and the complexity of your data make the biggest difference. After a short call you get a fixed quote in writing.
Why do some services have no price?
Some work cannot honestly be priced until we know what you need. For those we explain how we work out the price, and you get the figure in writing before you commit.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. The quote lists what is included and what is not. Things that cost extra, such as Shopify's own plan, paid apps, software subscriptions or advertising spend, are named before you commit.
Is Shopify always the right choice?
Not always. If another platform would suit you better, we will tell you before you spend anything.
