Speed & Performance Specialist for Shopify Stores - and the measurement behind your revenue I helped an apparel brand cut product-page load time from 15.4 seconds to 7.4 seconds - five weeks before Black Friday. That's what I do: I find what's slowing your store down and fix it. The same work keeps surfacing a second problem: stores where the numbers are broken. Pixels firing twice and double-counting conversions. Ad campaigns spending across the whole catalog with no filter on what actually earns. Apps billing every month for work nobody has measured. So alongside speed, I measure what your money - ad spend, apps, tracking - is actually doing, instead of trusting what the platforms and vendors report. Then I fix what the measurement finds. I specialize in Shopify speed optimization, Core Web Vitals, ad-spend and tracking measurement, and sales-channel recovery for established, founder-run stores. I treat speed and ad spend the same way: as revenue problems, not technical checkboxes. What I work on: Speed audits and Core Web Vitals optimization Ad-spend clarity - which products earn your Google/Meta budget, measured per product Meta Pixel and GA4 tracking setup, audits, and double-counting fixes App and tool bill audits - is each paid app earning what it charges? Where a paid app is doing what Shopify Flow already does natively, I replace it with a built-in workflow, including the multi-step logic that prompt-built automations get wrong Sales-channel recovery - when your products stop showing in Google Shopping or on Meta, finding why the catalog fell out (feed disapprovals, a dropped channel connection, market or policy misconfiguration) and getting them back in front of shoppers - verified on the storefront a shopper sees, not a green light in a dashboard Server-side tracking and attribution contamination fixes Ongoing monitoring and technical support - monthly Store Care across speed, tracking, apps and channels, or a support pack of hours Key results: Product-page load time cut from 15.4s to 7.4s - 52% faster Mobile PageSpeed on product pages from 18 to 28 - with the client's chosen app stack kept in place, at their call Two apps billing to track what the store's own Google channel already handled - removed, tracking verified clean, and $199/yr off the app bill Repeat clients going back to 2018 - one store at 14 projects across four years How I work: A diagnostic audit measures the actual problem - no guesswork, and the audit fee credits toward the fixes Phased implementation - you approve each milestone Every delivery closes with verified before/after numbers and a short list of the next opportunities I found 80+ projects completed. Clients across the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and Denmark. Send me your store URL and I'll tell you exactly what's slowing it down - and whether your numbers can be trusted. No commitment needed.

This means faster turnaround, fewer revisions, and more value for your budget. My background spans custom store builds, GA4 + GTM tracking setups, Klaviyo integrations, loyalty app configurations, A/B testing, and cross-functional collaboration with design and marketing teams. I treat every project like it's my own store on the line. I'm a Computer Software Engineering graduate and Growth Collective certified in Creative Website Design (Shopify). Let's build something that converts.
Recharge work prices higher than most Shopify app specialisations, because subscription revenue is recurring and mistakes compound — a broken dunning sequence quietly loses revenue every billing cycle until someone notices. Typical ranges from experts listed on shopexperts:
Freelance specialists to senior subscription consultants
Monthly retainer
$1,500 – $12,000+
Ongoing subscription programme management
Initial Recharge setup and product configuration runs $1,500-$5,000. Customer portal customisation — the page subscribers actually manage their subscriptions on, and one of the biggest levers on churn — runs $2,500-$12,000 depending on how much is bespoke. Migration to Shopify Checkout Integration from Recharge's legacy checkout runs $2,500-$15,000 and is the most common large project on this page right now.
Migration from another subscription app (Bold, Skio, Loop, Stay Ai) runs $3,000-$20,000 depending on subscriber count, since active subscriptions and payment tokens have to move without interrupting billing. Failed payment and dunning optimisation runs $1,500-$6,000 and usually pays back fastest of anything on this list. Churn analysis and retention strategy runs $2,000-$10,000.
Ongoing management retainers run $1,500-$12,000/month for brands where subscriptions are a primary revenue line. These fees are separate from your Recharge subscription and transaction fees. Request a free quote for a figure specific to your subscriber base.
Frequently asked questions about hiring Recharge experts
What does a Recharge expert do?
A Recharge expert handles subscription setup and product configuration, customer portal customisation, migration from Recharge's legacy checkout to Shopify Checkout Integration, migration in from other subscription apps, failed payment and dunning optimisation, and churn reduction work. Most engagements are project-based, though brands where subscriptions are a primary revenue line often keep someone on retainer.
How much does a Recharge expert cost?
$1,500 to $40,000+ per project, $85 to $250 per hour, or $1,500 to $12,000+ per month on retainer. Setup runs $1,500-$5,000, customer portal customisation runs $2,500-$12,000, checkout integration migration runs $2,500-$15,000, migration from another subscription app runs $3,000-$20,000, and dunning optimisation runs $1,500-$6,000. These are separate from your Recharge subscription and transaction fees.
What's the fastest-paying Recharge project?
Failed payment recovery, usually. Every subscription programme loses a percentage of billing attempts to expired cards, insufficient funds, and issuer declines, and most merchants accept the default retry behaviour without ever looking at it. Tightening retry timing, enabling card updater services, and rewriting the dunning email sequence typically recovers a meaningful share of otherwise-lost recurring revenue — and unlike acquisition work, it compounds every billing cycle. It's also one of the cheaper projects on this page at $1,500-$6,000.
Should I migrate to Shopify Checkout Integration?
For most merchants on Recharge's legacy checkout, yes, and increasingly it's not optional as Shopify consolidates on its own checkout. The benefits are real: one checkout for subscription and one-time orders, access to Shop Pay and accelerated payments on subscription purchases, and consistency with the rest of your store. The migration is genuine work rather than a toggle — plan for $2,500-$15,000 and a testing period where you verify existing subscriptions bill correctly before and after. Don't run it into Q4.
Can I move subscribers from another app to Recharge without interrupting billing?
Yes, but it's the highest-risk migration in the Shopify app ecosystem and worth paying properly for. Active subscriptions carry payment tokens, next-billing dates, discount states, and subscription histories, and all of it has to arrive intact or customers get double-billed, missed, or silently cancelled. Any of those generates support tickets and churn. Budget $3,000-$20,000 depending on subscriber count, insist on a staged migration with a test cohort first, and never migrate during a peak billing week.
Why are my subscribers churning?
Usually one of four things, and they need different fixes. Cancellation is too easy and offers no alternative — a portal that offers skip, swap, or pause before cancel retains a meaningful share of would-be cancellations. Delivery frequency doesn't match consumption, so subscribers accumulate product they haven't used. Payment failures are silently cancelling subscriptions the customer never intended to end. Or the value proposition weakened after the introductory discount expired. Cohort analysis identifies which, typically $2,000-$10,000 including the remediation plan.
How much of the customer portal can be customised?
More than most merchants use. The portal is where subscribers manage everything, and its design directly affects both churn and support volume — a portal where skipping a delivery takes four clicks generates cancellations that a one-click skip wouldn't. Customisation ranges from theming and copy changes at the low end to fully bespoke portal builds at $2,500-$12,000. If your support inbox is full of "how do I skip a delivery" emails, that's a portal problem with a measurable payback.
Recharge or a newer subscription app?
Recharge remains the most established option with the deepest integration ecosystem, which matters if your stack is complex. Skio, Loop Subscriptions, and Stay Ai are credible challengers, often with more modern portals and different pricing structures — and Shopify Subscriptions exists as a free native option that suits simple recurring models without advanced logic. The honest position: if Recharge is working, migrating costs $3,000-$20,000 and carries real billing risk, so it needs a specific reason beyond newer being better. If you're choosing fresh, the answer depends on how complex your subscription logic is.
