Updates, monitoring, speed optimizations and priority technical support — all included in one fixed monthly subscription. You sell, I handle the rest.
Why you need maintenance
Shopify updates constantly. Themes, apps and integrations can fall out of sync. Without active maintenance, problems accumulate silently.
An app update can break your checkout or UI. Without monitoring, you only find out when a customer can't place an order.
Redundant scripts, unoptimized images and dormant apps accumulated over time reduce your Lighthouse score and directly impact SEO.
Third-party apps that are outdated or abandoned by developers can pose security risks for your customers' data.
Broken buttons, overlapping text or missing elements on mobile reduce conversion without generating visible console errors.
Ce include
I monitor and apply theme and app updates after testing in a staging environment — not directly on your live store.
Automatic alert if your store becomes unavailable. Immediate response, not after you notice sales have stopped.
Monthly performance audit: removing unnecessary scripts, image lazy loading, compression, Liquid adjustments for Core Web Vitals.
Got an urgent issue? Active subscribers are handled before new clients — I respond within 4 business hours max.
At the end of each month you receive a report with activities performed, performance metrics and recommendations for next month.
Check broken links, missing meta tags, images without alt text, updated sitemap and monthly Search Console monitoring.
Pachete
Fixed prices, no surprises. You can change or cancel your subscription anytime.
Ideal for stores just starting out
For stores with consistent traffic and sales
For high-volume stores with complex requirements
How it works
At subscription start, we do a full store audit: apps, theme, speed, technical SEO and checkout. We identify existing issues before taking over maintenance.
I monitor store uptime and receive automatic alerts. We check weekly for available theme and app updates.
Mid-month we perform planned optimizations: tested updates, speed audit, technical SEO. Every change is communicated and documented.
At month-end you receive the full report and next month's recommendations. Total transparency — you always know what was done and what's next.
Active Clients
"Since we started the maintenance plan with Horcrux I have not thought about the technical side of the store for a single second. It simply works. I focus 100% on marketing and products."
"We had a reviews app break on Black Friday. Cristian replied within 30 minutes and fixed everything before we lost any significant orders."
"The monthly report is genuinely useful. We found three inactive apps that were slowing the site down. After the cleanup, our Lighthouse score went from 54 to 87."
Frequently Asked Questions
Shopify updates its infrastructure and core features, but it does not update your theme or installed third-party apps. These can conflict with each other or with Shopify updates, generating visual errors, broken checkout or lost functionality. Maintenance covers everything Shopify doesn't manage automatically.
Yes. There are no long-term contracts or cancellation penalties. The subscription is paid monthly and can be cancelled 5 days before renewal. The only condition: if a project is in progress at cancellation time, we complete it together before closing the subscription.
The hours included in the subscription cover standard maintenance activities. If you need additional work (new features, section redesigns, etc.), these are billed separately at the agreed hourly rate, with your prior approval.
Yes, including fully custom Liquid themes or headless setups with Hydrogen/Storefront API. We evaluate complexity before setting the plan and price — contact me with details about your setup for a custom quote.
Yes. I monitor installed apps, test updates before applying them to the live store, identify redundant or inactive apps affecting speed and recommend more efficient alternatives when appropriate.
We offer discounts for multi-store portfolios. If you manage 2 or more stores, contact me for a custom package — a 20-30% discount typically applies for additional stores compared to the first.
