Your store is selling. You work on your product range, create promotions, negotiate with suppliers, launch ads, build strategy, and think about what else you can do to grow.

Meanwhile, someone has to make sure the site doesn't slow down because of a new module, checkout doesn't break after an update, products sync correctly with your accounting system, the server withstands an advertising spike, and design changes don't create new conversion problems.

That is the whole point of technical support for an online store: identifying potential problems before they start affecting customer behavior.

This is your technical backbone: you focus on business, sales, and strategy, while the support team makes sure the digital side of your business runs reliably and is ready for the next stage of growth.

And it doesn't really matter what you sell. Furniture for premium interiors, professional cosmetics, sports nutrition, electronics, clothing by designers, spare parts for heavy machinery, wine from your own winery, or thousands of products on a marketplace. Every ecommerce project has its own processes, load, and risk points. But everyone needs a store that runs reliably, responds quickly to change, and can sell even more.

Who needs online store support

Support isn't only for large ecommerce companies with hundreds of thousands of orders. At different stages of growth, it solves different problems, from keeping the store running reliably to expanding it and building integrations. Here are a few common examples.

You've just launched your online store

  • After launch, work on the site is only just beginning. Real customers, first orders, ad traffic, and integrations gradually reveal how the store behaves in real-world conditions. New tasks, bugs, user requests, and new sales scenarios appear.

  • You need to fix issues, add functionality, monitor speed, improve the mobile version, work on SEO, and gradually increase conversion and average order value.

  • That's why post-launch support is part of the team that helps the store get through its first stage of growth without piling up technical debt.

You're only planning to launch

  • Support is worth considering even before your online store launches. The choice of platform, architecture, hosting solution, CRM or ERP integration method, catalog structure, and frontend approach will affect not only the launch, but also the cost and complexity of further development.

  • If the team stays with the project after launch, it can build in scalability from the start, along with room for future integrations, SEO growth, design changes, and increasing load. After all, decisions that seem convenient at the beginning shouldn't turn into limitations a year or three down the line.

  • As a result, the store grows together with the business and doesn't need to be rebuilt just because it has outgrown its original architecture.

The store works, but no longer delivers the expected results

  • This is one of the most important moments to seek support. You have traffic, your range is growing, your ads are running, but sales don't grow in line with the resources invested. At the same time, the site may be getting slower, and changes may take more and more time when every enhancement affects several other parts of the system.

  • In this situation, the cause may not lie only in marketing. Results are affected by UX and checkout, the mobile version, technical SEO, loading speed, catalog and search structure, integrations, code errors, and infrastructure. Sometimes it's the technical condition of the store itself that holds back returns.

  • So before increasing your ad budget, it's worth checking the store itself: is it losing conversions due to technical or UX issues, and can its current architecture support the next stage of business growth?

Your previous team is no longer a good fit

  • Sometimes a store doesn't need to be built from scratch, but taken over from another team. Such a project may come with an outdated platform version, non-standard customizations, dozens of third-party modules, complex integrations, or infrastructure without up-to-date documentation. As a result, even a simple enhancement may first require figuring out how and why the current system was built.

  • That's why the work starts not with making changes, but with a technical audit of the project. We analyze the platform, code, modules, integrations, and infrastructure, and identify technical risks, critical dependencies, and components that need updating or reworking.

  • Based on this, we build a roadmap for further work: what needs to be fixed first, which changes can be planned next, and what should be done to keep the store manageable and able to grow without accumulating new technical problems.

Online store support is more than bug fixing

In professional ecommerce, support goes beyond "something broke, message the developer." For a business-critical store, it's important to catch an error before the customer notices it.

  • Comprehensive ecommerce support includes monitoring performance, security, logs, and infrastructure, regular updates, error handling, optimization, and feature development. Adobe Commerce, for example, specifically recommends ongoing performance and security monitoring after launch, log analysis, CDN control, updates, and infrastructure work. 

  • At Planeta Web, support can cover this entire spectrum. In our ecommerce experience, a technical problem is rarely isolated: a slow checkout may be tied to code, a database query, a third-party module, or the server; an indexing problem to catalog structure, filters, canonicals, or the frontend; and a sharp drop in speed during an ad campaign to infrastructure and the CDN.

  • That's why modern online store support deals not with individual bugs, but with the entire technical loop: development, performance, SEO, UX, integrations, security, hosting, and infrastructure. This approach makes it possible to solve current problems, keep the store's condition under control, identify risks early, plan updates, and keep the system ready for growth.

What online store support includes

Development and technical support

We maintain your store's current functionality and develop it in line with new business goals. We work on both the frontend and the backend, from fixing bugs and refining individual scenarios to building new functionality and automating processes.

  • As part of development support, we can:

  • fix bugs and technical defects;

  • enhance existing functionality and develop new modules;

  • modify checkout and the ordering process;

  • develop the catalog, filtering, search, and customer account;

  • implement new frontend and backend scenarios;

  • integrate CRM, ERP, PIM, payment systems, delivery services, and other external services;

  • develop and maintain APIs and data exchange between systems;

  • update the platform, CMS, modules, and dependencies;

  • automate operational and business processes;

  • implement new business scenarios and store features.

  • Tasks can vary in scale, from a spot fix or a small enhancement measured in hours to developing a full-fledged functional block. We take into account not only the request itself, but also its impact on architecture, component compatibility, performance, and future maintenance of the store.

Performance and optimization

PageSpeed is one of the points where the search for a problem can begin. We analyze the store at the frontend, application, database, and infrastructure levels, look for bottlenecks, and determine what exactly is limiting its performance.

  • The work may involve:

  • Core Web Vitals;

  • TTFB, LCP, INP, CLS;

  • PHP та PHP-FPM;

  • MySQL;

  • Redis;

  • Elasticsearch / OpenSearch;

  • Varnish;

  • Nginx

  • CDN та caching;

  • JavaScript;

  • Magento backend;

  • third-party modules;

  • database queries;

  • cron jobs;

  • If a store is slow, it's important not just to improve the score, but to find the cause of the slowdown so it can be eliminated at the right level. For Adobe Commerce, current best practices also include monitoring CPU, memory, disk space, database health, application performance, and logs, with specialized monitoring tools used for diagnostics. server resources.

SEO and technical development

As the store operates, new categories, products, filters, landing pages, promotions, redirects, and structural changes appear. All of this can affect organic traffic.

  • Support may include:

  • technical SEO audit;

  • indexing control;

  • robots.txt та sitemap;

  • canonical;

  • redirects;

  • structured data;

  • SEO-friendly URL;

  • handling filters and duplicates;

  • optimizing the technical structure;

  • Core Web Vitals;

  • Technical SEO works hand in hand with development: an SEO issue must not only be identified, but also properly implemented in the store.preparing technical changes for SEO.

UX, design, and CRO for online stores

Customers don't see the backend, the server, or the API. They see the catalog, the product page, search, the cart, and checkout. A new product range may require a different catalog structure. Growing mobile traffic may call for a new approach to navigation. Low checkout conversion may mean rethinking the ordering flow. 

  • That's why the support team can work not only with code, but also with the customer experience itself:

  • UI/UX;

  • design of new pages;

  • mobile experience;

  • catalog structure;

  • navigation;

  • product pages;

  • checkout;

  • banners and promo blocks;

  • A/B-testing;

  • CRO;

  • improving user flows.

  • This way, the store gradually becomes more convenient and more visually and technically appealing, which drives growth in conversion and average order value.

Hosting, DevOps, and infrastructure

An online store can be technically sound and still run unreliably because of poorly built infrastructure. Planeta Web works with VPS/VDS, dedicated servers, and cloud infrastructure, and can manage the store's entire infrastructure layer.

  • Support scope:

  • server setup and optimization;

  • resource scaling;

  • web та database infrastructure;

  • caching;

  • CDN;

  • backup;

  • monitoring;

  • deployment;

  • server optimization;

  • security;

  • cloud cost optimization.

  • For complex ecommerce projects, we also work with Cloudflare: CDN, DNS, caching, WAF, routing rules, traffic control, and other edge infrastructure components. So if the problem lies not in the CMS but at the level of PHP, Nginx, the database, the server, the CDN, or network configuration, it doesn't need to be passed between several contractors.

Security and updates as part of support 

Ecommerce security is an ongoing process, not something you can do once and forget. It's important to control not only platform updates, but also access, vulnerabilities, third-party extensions and integrations, server configuration, and suspicious activity.

  • We can plan updates to the platform, CMS, modules, and dependencies, test changes on staging, and roll them out to production in a controlled way. This helps reduce the risk of downtime, conflicts between components, and situations where updating one element breaks the store.

  • For Magento and Adobe Commerce, this is especially important due to the interdependence of the core platform, extensions, custom code, and infrastructure. Here, security updates, access control, monitoring, WAF, security scanning, and vetting third-party components are an essential part of technical support.

  • For other ecommerce platforms, we adapt the approach to their architecture and update process. With SaaS solutions, the platform itself takes on part of the security work, while the support team controls store configuration, integrations, access, third-party services, and changes that may affect security and stability.

Get in touch if you need ongoing control over your technical environment and risk-free, managed changes.

Typical support tasks

Support can start with a very specific task: "Checkout stopped working after an update." Or:

  • "The store slows down during ad campaigns."

  • "We need to integrate a new delivery service."

  • "We added thousands of products, and search keeps getting worse."

  • "We need to move the store to a new server without losing performance."

  • "SEO traffic is dropping, and we don't know why."

  • "We need a new product page design and its technical implementation."

  • "The previous team left the project, and now we need to figure out what's even going on in it."

  • From there, one task leads to the next. We look at and analyze not just the individual request, but its impact on the store as a whole.

Platforms we work with

Over years of working on ecommerce projects, we've supported online stores on a wide range of ecommerce platforms: from complex enterprise solutions and legacy projects to SaaS platforms and popular Ukrainian ecommerce systems.

At Planeta Web, we work with:

  • Magento 2 - development, support, optimization, and growth of large and complex ecommerce projects;

  • Magento 1 - support and development of stores still running on the legacy version of the platform;

  • Adobe Commerce - an enterprise solution for large-scale stores and complex B2B and B2C scenarios;

  • Mage-OS - a modern open-source ecosystem based on Magento Open Source;

  • Shopify - store support, customization, integrations, and storefront development;

  • WordPress + WooCommerce - technical support, development of ecommerce functionality and integrations;

  • Drupal Commerce - support and development of complex content-and-commerce projects;

  • BigCommerce - support, customization, and integrations for ecommerce projects;

  • Shopware - technical support and development of ecommerce solutions;

  • Prom.ua - technical work on the store and its ecommerce infrastructure;

  • Horoshop - support and development of stores on the Ukrainian SaaS platform;

  • OpenCart - support, customization, and integration with external systems;

  • PrestaShop - technical support, enhancements, and store development;

  • SuiteCommerce - support for ecommerce solutions tied to the NetSuite ecosystem.

This experience matters when your store is already live: you don't have to adapt your business to the technology or look for separate developers for different parts of the system. We get to grips with your current stack, its limitations and growth potential, and then tailor the support format to the specific project.

Support can cover frontend and backend, design and UX, SEO, performance, integrations, APIs, databases, hosting, DevOps, CDN, Cloudflare, security, and infrastructure.

That's why we remain the support team for our clients regardless of the platform their store is built on and how complex its technical ecosystem becomes.

SLA and engagement format: support tiers 

Different stores have different technical support needs. Some just need a team that promptly handles day-to-day tasks and keeps an eye on stability. Others need regular development, SEO, performance, and UX work. And for large ecommerce, the technical team effectively becomes part of the business, covering everything from infrastructure and security to architecture and scaling.

We can work in a variety of support formats. You can discuss the details with a dedicated manager right now.

The tier will depend not only on the number of hours, but on how actively the store is growing, how many technical components need to be monitored, and what role the site plays in your sales.

Basic - regular technical support

  • Sound like your store? It's already up and running, the core functionality is in place, but every now and then errors crop up, updates are needed, small changes, or a developer consultation. At the same time, keeping a dedicated in-house specialist for a few technical tasks a month makes no sense.

  • In this case, Basic covers the fundamental need for a technical backbone. The team monitors store stability and takes care of day-to-day tasks:

  • error correction and bug fixing;

  • updates to the platform, CMS, modules, and dependencies;

  • basic monitoring;backups and backup monitoring;

  • technical consultations;

  • minor enhancements and functionality changes.

  • This format is for stores that need access to a technical team when they need it, without building a full in-house IT department.

Business - support and growth

  • Is your store growing, and the number of technical tasks growing with it? Launching new features, connecting a CRM or ERP, working on SEO, improving speed, changing checkout, updating the design, or regularly testing new sales scenarios?

  • At this point, just reacting to errors is no longer enough. You need a team that not only maintains what works now, but also develops the store systematically.

  • Business includes everything in Basic, plus:

  • performance optimization and speed work;

  • technical SEO development;

  • UX/UI and customer experience improvements;

  • development and expansion of integrations;

  • regular improvements and functionality enhancements;

  • work with staging and controlled deployments;

  • advanced monitoring;

  • planning and prioritization of development tasks.

  • This format suits ecommerce projects where the site is already an important sales tool and technical development needs to happen in parallel with business growth, not only after a problem appears.

Advanced - ecommerce team as a service

  • Is your online store one of your key sales channels, where any technical problem directly impacts the business? Does the store have a complex architecture, lots of integrations, significant load, or is it constantly evolving? Then you need more than just support: you need a team that can cover the entire technical scope of ecommerce.

  • Advanced is an ecommerce team as a service format: instead of searching for separate specialists for development, SEO, UX, DevOps, or infrastructure, the business gets one team with a range of competencies.

  • Within this format, we can cover:

  • development and frontend/backend development;

  • UX/UI and conversion optimization;

  • SEO and technical development;

  • performance and optimization;

  • infrastructure and hosting;

  • DevOps;Cloudflare and CDN/edge solutions;security;monitoring;integrations and APIs;architectural tasks;preparation for scaling;strategic planning of technical development;priority handling of critical issues.

  • Cloudflare and CDN/edge solutions;

  • security;

  • monitoring;

  • integrations та API;

  • architectural tasks;

  • preparation for scaling;

  • strategic planning of technical development;

  • priority handling of critical issues.

  • This format is especially relevant for stores with a large product range, complex business processes, high load, or a significant number of external systems. Here, the team's job is to ensure uninterrupted operation, and to guarantee that the technical side of ecommerce is ready for new campaigns, load, functionality, and growth.

What is an SLA and why do you need one?

An SLA (Service Level Agreement) is a set of agreed working rules between the business and the support team. Put simply, it answers the question: what happens when a task comes up, how urgent is it, and when should the team respond to it.

For example, a critical error that prevents customers from placing orders can't be handled the same way as a small text change on a page. An SLA can define task priorities, team response times, support availability hours, the escalation procedure, and other working terms.

That's why the SLA will be different for every project. We agree on team working hours, task priorities, response times, and other support parameters based on the scale of the store, its infrastructure, and requirements.

The key thing is that you know in advance how your technical backbone will operate, and the team knows which tasks are critical for your business.

How much does online store support cost

The cost of support depends on the number of hours. However, pricing is also affected by the platform, code complexity, number of integrations, infrastructure, load, the required level of monitoring, the SLA, and team composition.

For a small store, a few hours of development per month may be enough. A large ecommerce project may require ongoing work from developers, QA, DevOps, a designer, and other specialists.

That's why, instead of a one-size-fits-all rate, we first assess the store and determine the scope that's actually needed.

Don't pay just for a team being on call. Choose expertise that solves problems. Choose a clear scope and clear results. In other words, a team that covers real ecommerce needs: development, SEO, UX/UI, performance, infrastructure, security - exactly the competencies your store needs now and as it grows.

Why businesses choose Planeta Web: what your business gets

Support should be invisible to the customer, but tangible in how the store runs. When the technical team does its job right, the store stays fast, easy to use, manageable, and ready for sales growth.

What it means for your business

Holistic ecommerce instead of a collection of separate tasks.

  • Design doesn't exist separately from UX, catalog structure from SEO, or speed from hosting and infrastructure. When these areas work within a single loop, changes in one place don't create problems in another.

Design that works for the store, not just to grab attention.

  •  Brand identity and visual solutions shouldn't go beyond the user journey. Design should help people navigate the catalog, discover new products, understand the seller's expertise, place orders, and build trust in the brand.

A structure that can handle growth

  • New categories, filters, products, regions, integrations, and business scenarios shouldn't require rebuilding the store every time. Architectural decisions should take into account not only current needs, but also where your ecommerce is heading.

Speed the customer can feel.

  • Performance is a good score in a test. But it's also fast-loading pages, a stable catalog, a predictable checkout, and a store that doesn't lose performance as traffic grows.

Infrastructure that doesn't become a limit on sales.

  • Increased ad traffic, seasonal peaks, or catalog scaling shouldn't turn into a scramble to find out why the site went down. Hosting, CDN, caching, the database, and other infrastructure components should match the store's real load.

Ecommerce needs different specialists at different times: a developer, QA, SEO, UX/UI, DevOps, infrastructure, or security expertise. With Planeta Web, your business gets access to these competencies when it needs them, instead of paying for a full staff of specialists who may be underutilized most of the time.Access to the right expertise without maintaining a large in-house team.

With Planeta Web, your business gets access to these competencies when it needs them, instead of paying for a full staff of specialists who may be underutilized most of the time.

Experience that isn't limited to one industry.

  • We work with ecommerce projects of different scales and with different business models. That lets us carry practical experience across projects: a solution that proved effective for one type of ecommerce can serve as a valuable reference for another, taking its specifics into account.

One accountable contact and a transparent process.

  • Each project is assigned a dedicated manager who keeps the context and coordinates the specialists' work. You know which tasks are in progress, what the priorities are, what stage the work is at, and exactly what you're paying for.

  • As a result, support becomes a system that helps your store stay stable today and keeps it from slowing down growth tomorrow.

What do you need to get started?

  • If your store is already live, we start by understanding its real condition: the platform, code, infrastructure, integrations, current problems, and business goals. If your store is still in the planning stage, we can join before launch and lay a technical foundation that won't need to be rebuilt at the first round of scaling.

Support can be just insurance in case something breaks. Or it can become your team, helping your store move faster.

Don't just fix what's already broken. Use support to build what will work better tomorrow.
