How does the monthly Shopify maintenance backlog work?
We keep a shared backlog of fixes and enhancements. Each month we agree priorities based on urgency, impact and remaining capacity in the retainer.

What helps us get specific
Share your store URL if you have one, the project type, markets you sell into, known apps or integrations, and any hard deadline. That context turns this FAQ into a useful next step instead of generic advice.
Common mistakes to avoid
Using a retainer as a hidden rebuild budget
Large redesigns and migrations do not fit inside small monthly hours. Quote them as projects.
No backlog or priorities
Unprioritised ticket piles bury urgent bugs under nice-to-haves. Agree what matters this month.
