Frequently Asked Questions

Questions, answered

What happens if my ecommerce store crashes during a sale?

Our active maintenance clients receive priority emergency support according to their support plan. Real-time monitoring alerts our technical team so we can investigate, roll back updates, or address server overloads as appropriate to the incident and agreed coverage.

Why can't I just run updates myself in the admin dashboard?

Direct admin updates on live ecommerce sites can cause plugin conflicts or break checkout functionality. We test updates on staging servers first to identify compatibility issues before publishing changes.

Do unused support hours roll over to the next month?

Support plan terms vary, but retainer hours are structured to give you dedicated developer availability for ongoing enhancements every month. Any rollover arrangement should be confirmed in your support agreement.
