Shopify Leak Audit — TCC
Shopify Leak Audit by The Commerce Cowboys

Your Shopify Store Is Probably Paying for Things You Don't Need Anymore

Your store was built at a point in time. Apps were added. Tools improved. Shopify improved. But nobody went back and cleaned up what was left behind.

We go through your full setup — apps, tracking, email tools, theme — and tell you exactly what's costing you money and why.

Built for stores doing $5k+/month actively running apps, ads, or email marketing.

Why we call it a leak audit: When a pipe leaks, the water doesn't disappear all at once. It drips quietly for months — until someone actually looks. Your Shopify stack works the same way. It's not one big mistake. It's $29 here, $49 there, an app you forgot, a platform you outgrew but never cancelled.

Most stores we audit are losing between $100–$600/month this way. Fixed, that's a staff lunch every week. A month of Klaviyo. A paid campaign you didn't have to justify. Money that was always yours.

nobody checks

The problem isn't that you made bad decisions. It's that nobody reviewed them after.

A developer builds your store. You add apps as you need them. Your email list grows. You upgrade platforms. Someone patches your tracking together before a big sale.

Two years later, you're still paying for all of it.

The app that made sense before Klaviyo added that feature natively. The page builder installed because your theme was outdated. The meta fields app that Shopify now handles for free. The filter app that's been redundant since Shopify updated search.

None of it feels urgent. That's why it stays.

Most of the time, nothing is broken. It's just outdated.

what it adds up to

Small Monthly Leaks Become Expensive Over Time

$100 here. $200 there. It doesn't feel like much in a single month. But over time, it adds up fast.

$200/month doesn't feel like much… until it quietly turns into $2,400.
what we found

We've seen this more than once.

These aren't edge cases. They're what a standard Shopify setup looks like two or three years after a developer hands it over.

Case Study 01 $600/month found

Store had accumulated apps over three years — some installed by a developer who was no longer involved, others added during growth pushes and never revisited.

OptiMonk Klaviyo does this natively $149
PageFly outdated theme workaround $89
Meta fields app now native in Shopify $15
Filter app now native in Shopify $19
Misc unused apps ×5 $140
Email tier over-allocated $93
$600
saved per month

They weren't doing anything wrong. They just never revisited the setup. OptiMonk made sense when it was installed — Klaviyo has since added the same functionality natively.

Case Study 02 Found in 5 minutes

The store had cleaned their email list — removed dead contacts, did the right thing. But they never manually downgraded their Mailchimp plan. Mailchimp kept billing at the old subscriber tier. Month after month. Nobody had checked.

That's the thing about leaks. You can do everything right and still have one running quietly in the background.

$50
recovered per month

Five minutes. One plan change. That's $600/year back — every year going forward.

The audit fee was covered many times over before we even finished.

where the money hides

We look at the areas where these things usually sit unnoticed.

Apps & Subscriptions

  • Unused apps still charging monthly
  • Duplicate tools doing the same job
  • Apps Shopify or Klaviyo now replaces for free

Tracking & Pixels

  • Duplicate Meta pixels
  • Broken Google Ads conversion tracking
  • Missing or inconsistent events

Email Platform

  • Bloated lists pushing you onto higher tiers
  • Dead or low-quality contacts
  • Paying for features you don't need

Theme & Store Setup

  • Legacy apps from old developer installs
  • Features now native in Shopify you're still paying for
  • Avoidable performance drag

What you get back: A written findings doc — what we found, what it's costing you monthly, and what to do about it. No filler, no upsell pressure. If you want us to fix it, we'll quote it separately.

Money Back Guarantee

If the fixes we find don't save you at least $99 within three months, we'll refund you in full.

We're not asking you to find $99 in savings on day one. We're saying: implement what we find, and within three months the audit pays for itself — or you get your money back. In every audit we've done so far, it's paid back far sooner. But if yours is genuinely clean, you shouldn't pay for the confirmation.

Once-off · No retainer

For a store doing $5k+/month, that's one hour of ad spend. Most audits find multiples of that within the first month of implementing the fixes.
