Engagement Models
Three Ways to Work With Us
Dedicated Monthly
Your specialist, full-time, on your tools and in your standups. Best for continuous roadmaps and brands shipping every week.
From $3,400 / month
- 160 hours per month
- Direct Slack access and daily standups
- Mid-level, senior and lead tiers available
- Monthly rolling, 30 days notice
Part-Time Retainer
A fixed block of hours each month for maintenance, improvements and the small jobs that pile up. Best for stores that are stable but not static.
From $800 / month
- 40 or 80 hours per month
- Prioritised task queue
- Unused hours roll over one month
- Upgrade to dedicated at any time
Project-Based
Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed deadline. Best for migrations, rebuilds and anything with a clear finish line.
From $3,500
- Written scope agreed before work starts
- Milestone billing, not full payment upfront
- 30 days post-launch support included
- Blended rate $25 to $45 per hour
A dedicated seat costs roughly a fifth of the loaded cost of a comparable US hire, with no recruitment fee, no benefits and no notice period. Most brands start on a part-time retainer and move to dedicated once the roadmap outgrows the hours. We will tell you honestly if a project quote serves you better than a monthly commitment.

How It Works
From First Call to First Commit
Scope
A 30-minute call to understand your stack, your roadmap and the gap you are filling. We will tell you which role actually solves it, even when it is a smaller engagement than you asked about.
Match
We put forward specialists from our team with the relevant experience, including work samples from comparable builds. You interview them yourself.
Trial Week
Your chosen specialist works a real ticket from your backlog. If the fit is wrong, you owe nothing and we match again.
Scale
Once embedded, adjust up or down each month as your roadmap changes. No renegotiation, no penalty.
Skills & Stack
Skills and Stack
When you hire a Shopify app developer from KolachiTech, you get a specialist who builds custom apps that solve problems no existing App Store app quite covers. Whether you need a private app for an internal workflow, a custom integration that syncs data between Shopify and your ERP, or a public app you plan to sell on the Shopify App Store, our developers ship code that passes Shopify's review process on the first submission.
Our Shopify app developers work with the full Remix app framework, OAuth flow, App Bridge, webhooks, and the GraphQL and REST Admin APIs. They understand billing API integration, embedded app design, and the performance requirements that keep your app from being throttled. From first scaffold through App Store submission, you get a developer who has done it before.
