Service Agreement
Stop handing over custom Liquid code and optimized themes to clients who might vanish the moment they get their hands on your hard work.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a clause in every service agreement stating that full intellectual property rights and usage licenses only transfer to the client upon receipt of the final payment.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Shopify Expert, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prove my work is complete without giving the client the ability to just copy the code and run?
Using an automated digital escrow system allows you to share password-protected or watermarked assets that are only decrypted and fully released once the system verifies the client's payment has cleared.
Is there a way to automate the delivery of theme files so I don't have to stay online until midnight for a client to pay?
Yes, digital escrow platforms act as a 24/7 intermediary, instantly providing the download link or access key to your client the moment their invoice is paid, regardless of your time zone.
How do I prevent clients from using my custom designs on multiple stores without paying for additional licenses?
By delivering your work through a secure escrow portal, you can gate access to the final files, ensuring that the transaction is finalized for the specific project scope before the 'master' files are ever accessible.
