There is so much to understand about the platform as a whole, let alone how it interacts with apps and third parties, and Mitch seems to understand it all.

SHOPIFY TROUBLESHOOTING FOR US STORES

Get to the bottom of Shopify store issues.

Broken layouts, unexpected theme behavior and app conflicts can create friction for shoppers. I investigate the issue, explain the findings and agree on a sensible path to resolution.

Talk through a store issue
Hourly technical support$90/hour
No root cause found? No diagnostic fee.

If I cannot identify the underlying cause, you won't be charged for the diagnostic investigation. If I identify it, I'll explain the recommended fix and agree any further work with you before proceeding.

Diagnostic investigation is free only if I cannot identify a root cause. If a cause is identified, diagnostic time is billable at the stated hourly rate, even if you choose not to proceed with a fix. Further work is agreed in advance. Prices are in USD; applicable taxes, if any, are additional.
