Flexible Retainers with Total Commerce Partners

One Partner. Every Capability. Total Flexibility.

Growth doesn’t happen in neat, predictable blocks. One month you need development firepower. And the next, you need conversion optimization, retention strategy, or hands-on Shopify coordination. Traditional agency models don’t flex with that reality.
That’s where our flexible retainers come in. With Total Commerce Partners, you don’t buy a fixed scope. You buy time, expertise, and momentum, applied wherever your business needs it most. No rigid deliverables. No wasted budget. Just a senior team deployed across disciplines to move your business forward, faster.
Most agencies force you into predefined service buckets. Design retainer. Dev retainer. Marketing retainer. Each with its own contract, scope, and limitations. We’ve rebuilt that model entirely.

How Our Flexible Retainer Model Works

1. Monthly Hour Allocation
You choose a retainer tier based on how much support you need. This becomes your monthly pool of hours.

2. Dynamic Prioritization
At the start of each cycle, we align on priorities. But nothing is locked. As your needs evolve, we shift with you.

3. Cross-Functional Deployment
Instead of siloed teams, you get access to specialists across development, design, strategy, and retention—working as one unified team.

4. Continuous Momentum
No re-scoping. No renegotiating contracts. No downtime between projects. Just consistent progress across your entire commerce operation.

5. When a Flexible Retainer Makes the Most Sense
-You’re scaling quickly and priorities change month-to-month
-You need multiple skill sets but don’t want multiple agencies
-Your internal team needs support across both strategy and execution
-You’re launching, replatforming, or optimizing simultaneously
-You’re tired of starting and stopping projects due to budget or scope constraints

What Your Retainer Can Flex Across

Your hours can be applied across our full ecosystem of services, including:
-Shopify Development & Technical Execution

-Retention & Lifecycle Marketing
Email, SMS, subscriptions, and LTV strategy that are built and optimized to turn one-time buyers into repeat customers.
-Strategy & Growth Planning
We don’t just execute tasks. We help define what should be done, when and why, based on your growth stage and goals.

The Total Commerce Difference

Your business doesn’t need the same thing every month. Our model reflects that. Building a full in-house team across dev, design, CRO, and retention is costly and complex. We give you that capability instantly. Traditional retainers create inefficiencies. You either underuse them or outgrow them. We eliminate both problems.
At Total Commerce Partners, we’re not just a dev shop and we’re not just marketers. We’re developers who operate at the intersection of:
-Technology
-Experience
-Retention
-Revenue growth

This means your retainer isn’t spent on isolated tasks, it’s invested in moving the entire business forward. We understand how development decisions impact conversion, how design impacts retention and how lifecycle marketing drives LTV.
Everything is connected. And we operate that way.
