The problem
A Shopify store was paying approximately $700 per month for a cart solution. The store relied on a focused set of cart functions rather than the full platform.
What the merchant actually used
- Drawer cart and product quantity controls
- Free shipping progress
- Free gift progress
- Accessory upsells
- Package protection
- Checkout flow
The replacement
These functions were rebuilt directly into the Shopify theme. The implementation preserved the core cart functionality and gave the client ownership of the custom solution.
Implementation
The work focused on theme-level cart behaviour and the features listed above. Merchant-specific technical details are withheld. No measured performance or conversion improvement is claimed.
Cost structure
The reported former subscription was approximately $700/month. The actual project price and payment schedule are not published. The four-month examples elsewhere on this site illustrate our pricing target; they are not a disclosed price for this project.
The outcome
- No equivalent ongoing cart SaaS subscription
- Core revenue-generating cart functionality preserved
- A client-owned custom solution
- Reduced dependency on the former cart provider
What the long-term numbers could look like
At an unchanged $700/month, the former subscription would total $25,200 over three years. An illustrative $2,800 replacement would leave $22,400 before tax, support, infrastructure, subscription overlap and future changes. Actual project net savings have not been supplied.
