E-Commerce Maintenance
Ongoing care for live online stores: platform and plugin updates, security monitoring, uptime checks, backups, bug fixes, small enhancements and preparation for high-traffic sale events.
Capability overview
What e-commerce maintenance involves
A store that took months to build can lose sales in minutes when a plugin update breaks checkout, a payment gateway changes its API or traffic spikes during a festive sale. E-commerce maintenance keeps the store healthy and gives you a team that already knows the codebase when something needs fixing quickly.
Maintenance plans cover scheduled updates tested on staging, security and uptime monitoring, daily backups with tested restores, checkout and payment monitoring, and an allowance of development hours for fixes and enhancements. Before major sales such as festive season campaigns, we run readiness checks and load tests.
