Ongoing Shopify support
Keep Shopify moving after launch.
BumpyLabs provides ongoing Shopify development support for teams that need a dependable technical partner to ship improvements, solve issues, and keep the storefront healthy.
Scope
What we help with
The work that typically sits inside this service. Every engagement is scoped to what your store actually needs.
- Theme updates and feature releases
- Bug investigation and fixes
- App and integration support
- Campaign and landing-page builds
- Performance and storefront improvements
- Merchandising support for complex launches
- Technical consultation and roadmap planning
- Issue triage within agreed support terms
Our approach
Continuity beats rediscovery.
The value of ongoing support is not availability alone — it is a team that already knows your theme, apps, integrations, and the reason that odd workaround exists. Work runs on a shared queue you can see, with priorities agreed rather than assumed.
One shared queue
Requests, bugs, and improvements tracked in one visible place with agreed priorities.
Context that carries over
Your store's decisions and quirks stay documented, so each request does not restart from zero.
Room for the roadmap
Capacity is planned across reactive fixes and the improvements that actually move the store forward.
Deliverables
What’s included
What you receive from an engagement of this type. Exact deliverables are confirmed in the scope we agree together.
Agreed support model and priorities
Capacity, hours of cover, and escalation set out in writing before the engagement starts.
Shared request workflow
One visible queue where requests, bugs, and improvements are tracked and prioritized together.
Development and QA process
Every change reviewed and tested before release, including the small ones.
Regular planning or reporting cadence, where included
A recurring look at what shipped, what keeps recurring, and what is worth planning next.
Maintained documentation for supported systems
Your store's decisions and quirks kept current, so each request does not restart from zero.
Support terms — including hours of cover, response expectations, and escalation — are defined together before an engagement starts. We do not advertise 24/7 cover or a response-time guarantee unless it has been agreed in writing.

Shopify Support & Retainers FAQs
Direct answers to what teams ask before starting this kind of work.
Usually as an agreed monthly capacity with a shared request queue and a regular planning rhythm. The right size depends on how much change your store goes through — we set it after reviewing your setup and recent activity, and revisit it as needs shift.
Only where a service level has been explicitly agreed as part of the engagement. We would rather set expectations we can meet than publish a number that does not hold at three in the morning during peak season.
Yes. We start with a review of the theme, apps, integrations, and any custom code so we know what we are taking on. That review usually surfaces a few risks worth addressing early, which we present as recommendations rather than mandatory work.
Peak periods and launches can be planned ahead with additional capacity for that cycle. The earlier we know, the more reliably we can reserve it — last-minute surges depend on availability at the time.
That is agreed when the engagement is set up, and we will be explicit about it in writing rather than leaving it to interpretation. Many teams prefer a small rollover allowance to smooth out quiet months.
