Locked
A clear statement of work
Scope, timeline, and budget agreed up front — the delivery risk is on us.
When fixed price is the right model
A fixed-price Shopify development engagement locks the scope, timeline, and budget before work begins. You get a single agreed number and date, and we carry the delivery risk — ideal when requirements are clear and stable.
It suits defined builds, theme projects, replatforming and migrations, and launches where you need budget certainty and a firm go-live.
What a fixed-price project includes
A locked statement of work, milestone-based delivery, and a production-ready store — at a single agreed price.
Milestones
Milestone-based delivery
A single fixed price split across milestones tied to real progress.
Delivery
What we ship
A complete, well-defined build — themes, pages, and integrations.
Outcome
Launch-ready results
A production storefront, live on the agreed date and ready to scale.
Protected
Scope stays locked
Out-of-scope work is quoted separately, so price and timeline stay protected.
How it works
How a fixed-price Shopify project runs
A fixed-price project turns a well-defined brief into a single agreed number and a clear timeline — you know exactly what you are getting and what it costs before any code is written.
01
Scope & quote
We scope the work in detail and put deliverables, timeline, and price into a statement of work.
02
Milestone build
Delivery is split into stages — design, build, integrations, QA, launch — each with clear acceptance criteria.
03
Approve as you go
Payment is tied to milestones, not paid all up front, so risk stays balanced on both sides.
04
Launch & hand-off
Ship on the agreed date, then move to a retainer or the next fixed-price phase — same senior team.
Best fit for
- Well-defined, one-off builds with a clear outcome
- Theme builds & Shopify migrations (Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce)
- B2B or Shopify Plus launches
- A specific, scoped feature or integration
- Work that needs budget certainty and easy internal sign-off
Good to know
Scope changes are handled through a simple change request — anything beyond the agreed brief is quoted separately, so the original budget stays protected and predictable.
Fixed price works best when requirements are stable. If the scope is still taking shape or the work is discovery-heavy, a rigid statement of work can force premature decisions — in that case time & material usually delivers better value, and we’ll say so during scoping.

Ready to launch a fixed-price Shopify project with the cost and date locked in?
For a well-defined Shopify build, migration, or launch, a fixed-price project is the most predictable model — a locked scope and statement of work, milestone-based delivery, a single agreed number, and a firm go-live date, with the delivery risk carried by us.

Common questions about this engagement model.
What if scope changes mid-project?
Out-of-scope requests are handled as clear, separately-quoted change requests, so the original price and timeline stay protected.
What do you need for a fixed quote?
A defined scope — requirements, designs or references, and integrations. If scope is still forming, we start on time & material and lock to fixed price once it is clear.
How is payment structured?
The single fixed price is split across milestones tied to delivery, so payment tracks real progress.
Is fixed price more expensive?
For clear scope it is competitive and the most predictable. For uncertain scope it can cost more because the quote includes a contingency for the unknowns — there, time & material is usually better value.
What happens after launch?
Many brands move to an on-demand retainer for ongoing improvement once the fixed-price build ships.
How do I hire a Shopify team on a fixed price?
Send us a defined scope and we will return a fixed-price Shopify quote with a firm timeline — a single agreed cost before work begins. Compare all engagement models if you are not sure fixed price is the right way to hire a Shopify agency for your project.
