Shopify Fix-It Call — No agency nonsense, Just a solid hour of paid problem solving.
One session. One issue (or few smaller ones). We'll scope it out, and then I'll fix each issue live, right in front of you. If it's bigger than the session, you leave with a clear plan and priorities — not a sales pitch.

I take Australian Shopify brands with global ambitions, make their sites blisteringly fast while obliterating glitches & bugs, all for a fraction of the cost (and none of the hassle) of a big budget agency. You'd be surprised how much can be done in just a few hours a month, so why not give it a try?
30 years of coding experience, combined with the efficiencies & power of AI, distilled into one focused session to fix your Shopify problems, fast.
100% Money Back Guarantee - If you're not happy, just email within 48 hours and I'll refund your money, no questions asked.
Most Shopify problems can be solved & fixed on the spot, no need for an expensive agency contract.
Most Shopify stores don’t need a “project”, or an outsized quote for a custom theme. They need one thing fixed: a broken add-to-cart, a slow product page, app bloat, or a manual process that’s turned into a tax.
This is paid problem-solving, combining my years of experience with the efficiencies & power of AI to rapidly speed up the process. We’ll focus on one issue at a time, fix what’s safe during the session, and you leave with a short, prioritised plan either way.
No retainers. No proposals unless you ask.
Problem solved, or a clear plan
You’ll get written priorities within 24 hours: do this / don’t do this / later.
100% satisfaction guaranteed
My no. 1 goal is to make you a smiling happy camper who is 100% satisfied.
I've worked with many Shopify developers over the years and John is a serious operator. His services are fast, affordable, and the quality of the work is top-notch.

FAQs
Got questions? We've got answers.
What happens during the Fix-It Call?
We pick one primary symptom (e.g. add-to-cart flaky on mobile, PDP slow, app conflicts, variant UX). We reproduce it, isolate the likely cause (theme vs app vs settings), and fix what’s safe within the session. If it’s bigger than the session, you still leave with a short, prioritised plan and the exact next steps.
Do you try to sell me a retainer or a bigger project after the call?
No. You’re paying for the session. That’s the transaction. If bigger work is uncovered, you’ll get options: - DIY with the plan - Book another session - Or ask me for a fixed-scope quote No proposal unless you request it.
Will you touch my live theme or checkout during the call?
Only with your permission, and only if it’s safe. Default approach is: - You give JohnDetlefs.com collaborator access (I'll walk you through it) - We'll duplicate the theme (so we don't break what's already there) - I'll create a local instance and screenshare what we're doing - You preview the changes and approve (or we'll iterate) - Then we push the changes to your store Anything risky (checkout, payments, live discount logic) gets handled conservatively with rollback in mind. If you don't have a Github account set up yet, we can set that up for you -- makes rollbacks easy!
What access do you need, and is it safe?
Best case is Shopify collaborator access (limited to what’s necessary) so we’re not guessing. If you’re not comfortable, we can do screen-share only — it just reduces what we can fix live. I don’t need access to payments, bank accounts, or anything unrelated. You can revoke access immediately after the session.
What if my issue can’t be solved in 75 minutes?
That’s common for messy problems. You still get value: - What we’ve ruled out - What the most likely causes are - The fastest path to confirm the root cause - A prioritised action plan (small/medium/big effort) within 24 hours If you want me to implement, we’ll only quote a small fixed block once the scope is clear.
Why $199? Seems low?
Because at that price point we get the best of both worlds: it’s low enough risk for you to try, but high enough that I can commit to giving you my full attention and expertise during the session. It also weeds out tire-kickers and ensures we’re both serious about solving your problem. I'm also just testing out the market for this offer at the moment... my suspicion is that we'll end up at around $249, but I'm happy to start at a lower rate to get some momentum 🙂.
What's stopping me from just vibe coding this myself?
Nothing is stopping you! If you enjoy experimenting and learning, you can certainly try to solve the problem on your own. That said, the AI models I use are custom (and expensive) and the session is designed to leverage my experience and the efficiencies of the AI models I've optimised to quickly identify and fix issues. But 100%, if you're not too run off your feet and enjoy the development process, go for it! If you get stuck, you can always book a call to get unstuck, happy to help. 👍
What if I’m not satisfied after the call?
I want you to be thrilled with what you get. If you’re not 100% satisfied, just email me within 48 hours and I’ll give you a full refund, no questions asked. And, you can keep whatever changes or fixes we've made! I’m 100% confident in the value of the session, so there’s no risk for you.
Are you a bigger brand and have a project you'd like to talk through and maybe even scope out?
If you're a larger brand and want to scope out a project — custom theme build, headless implementation, complex integrations etc — I do take on a couple of those each year. Projects typically start at $40k.
Here's what makes my approach different: I've built some seriously complex AI workflows that streamline what used to take teams of developers weeks to accomplish. I handle the technical execution myself, which means you get senior-level expertise without the overhead, delays, and miscommunication that comes with traditional agency structures.
If that sounds like your situation, email projects@johndetlefs.com with an overview of what you're looking to achieve, your timeline, and your budget range. I'll let you know if it's a fit.
