Every store is different, so we quote per store — no one-size box. But here's exactly how we structure it, and how the value stacks up against Shopify Plus.
By the time you add the apps and fees a growing store actually needs, "cheap" gets expensive. You own none of it.
| What you're paying for | Shopify Plus + apps | Your Two Techies platform |
|---|---|---|
| Platform / plan | High fixed monthly ($2,000+/mo typical) | Fair monthly or one-time — your choice |
| Transaction fee per order | ✕ Cut on every sale | ✓ 0% platform fee |
| Loyalty & referrals | Paid app (e.g. Smile.io) monthly | ✓ Built in — no rent |
| Checkout customisation | Limited / gated behind Plus | ✓ Fully yours to change |
| Bundles, gifts, gamification | Multiple paid apps | ✓ Included |
| Advanced analytics & reports | Paid apps / external tools | ✓ Included & owned |
| New gateway / carrier you need | Only if an app exists | ✓ We build it |
| Data & code ownership | ✕ Theirs | ✓ Yours |

Because a 500-order store and a 50,000-order store shouldn't pay the same. We quote to your volume, current app spend and must-haves — usually well below your combined Shopify Plus + app bill. We'll model it on a call.
You launch on a managed plan with low upfront cost. A portion of your monthly builds credit toward the source license, so after an agreed term (typically 12–24 months) the code is yours — with no big lump sum.
Only if you want to be. We fully hand over and train your team, and you can keep us on a maintenance retainer for updates, fixes and new features.
No platform transaction fee from us — ever. You'll still pay your payment processor's standard rate (e.g. Stripe/PayPal), just like any store.
Most stores go live in a few weeks depending on catalog size and custom needs. We can run in parallel with Shopify so there's no rush and no downtime.
