Shopify backend + CRO no retainer, ever

01 A sharper kind of Shopify partner

Your store has a
leak. We fix it.

Copier Direct Line finds the backend friction and conversion drag keeping your best products from moving. One focused fix. Paid when it works.

Built for Shopify brands

02 The commercial difference

Not another agency
on the payroll.

We keep the scope tight, the diagnosis honest, and the arrangement simple: when the agreed fix is delivered, we get paid.

03 What gets fixed

Small points of friction compound.
We look where the sale gets quiet.

A / 01

Theme & app setup

Clean up the Shopify mechanics that slow a customer down: theme behavior, app conflicts, merchandising logic, and the handoff from product to cart.

04 Progress timeline

Three leaks,
one rhythm.

Three anonymous scenarios arranged as a sequence: identify the pressure, name the constraint, and give the next useful fix somewhere to land.

Planning without a demand signal

No predictive demand forecasting was making inventory decisions harder than they needed to be.

Starting pointCustomer support volume was the clearest available signal.
Time horizon3 months
ConstraintRisk aversion around changing what currently works.
DirectionClearer demand visibility for merchandising decisions.

The product page that asks too much

Low conversion and high bounce on product detail pages were making the mobile path feel harder than it should.

Starting pointMonthly revenue was the clearest measure of commercial pressure.
Time horizon5 months

03 / ACCESSORIESAUSTRALIA

When subscriptions quietly loosen

Subscription churn was rising without a clear view of where the customer relationship was weakening.

Starting pointEmail and SMS revenue share gave the team a useful retention lens.
Time horizon65 days
ConstraintConflicting priorities across teams.
DirectionA tighter post-purchase path for retention work.

05 Voices from the other side

Real people.

06 The working rhythm

A little less
agency fog.

01

Look closely

We start with an audit of the storefront and the systems behind it.

02

Name the fix

You get one clear, bounded intervention—not a pitch for a larger retainer.

03

Make it work

We build, test, and hand over the change. Payment follows delivery.

07 Small print, made simple

Questions,
answered.

What does “paid on delivery” mean? +

We agree on the scope and the definition of done before work begins. There is no upfront cash or monthly retainer; payment is due when that agreed fix has been delivered.

Is this a full-service agency relationship? +

No. Copier Direct Line is designed for a focused intervention: Shopify backend setup, app and theme friction, or a defined conversion-path problem.

What kinds of brands are a fit? +

We work best with Shopify teams who already have a product people want and need a sharper path from visit to purchase.

What happens after the first conversation? +

We look at the storefront, identify the most useful opportunity, and tell you plainly whether a scoped fix is something we can own.

08 Start with the useful question

Where is your
store losing its nerve?

Tell us what feels off. We’ll tell you whether there’s a focused fix worth making.

Start the conversation No pitch deck. No retainer conversation.
