NP SoftTech Shopify FAQ
Maintenance
What happens if monthly Shopify maintenance hours are unused?
Unused hours handling depends on the retainer terms confirmed at signup. Some plans allow limited rollover; others are use-it-or-plan-it within the month. We state the rule in writing.
Who this answer is for
Buyers comparing Shopify retainers who want fair unused-hours terms.

Why policies differ

How we help you use value
A ready backlog turns idle capacity into shipped improvements.
When to resize

Common mistakes to avoid

Ask before signup.
