Example Proposal Structure

Example Proposal Structure

Executive Summary

This proposal outlines a Shopify engagement focused on improving conversion performance, improving store maintainability, and reducing launch risk. The plan combines strategy, design, implementation, and post-launch support in a phased approach.

Business Objectives

  • Increase conversion rate and average order value
  • Improve mobile buying experience and site speed
  • Streamline merchandising and promotional workflows
  • Create a scalable foundation for ongoing growth

Scope Overview

Strategy and Planning

We align goals, customer journey priorities, and technical constraints before production begins. This includes analytics baseline review, information architecture, and implementation recommendations.

Design and Build

Work includes approved templates, theme implementation, app configuration, and QA. Deliverables are tied to acceptance criteria at each milestone.

Commercial Terms

The proposal should define project fee, payment schedule, included revisions, and assumptions around content, product data, and client-side approvals.

Next Steps

After approval, the project moves into onboarding, access setup, and a milestone-based delivery schedule with named responsibilities.

When to use this Proposal Template

A Shopify proposal template helps agencies convert discovery notes into a structured offer that clients can review without ambiguity.

This version is built for ecommerce engagements where design, development, app integrations, and conversion outcomes must be aligned before kickoff.

  • Use it when pitching a new Shopify build or redesign project.
  • Use it after a store audit identifies conversion and UX gaps.
  • Use it when procurement asks for documented scope, pricing, and assumptions.
  • Use it when multiple teams need clarity on launch responsibilities.
  • Use it when comparing phased delivery options for budget approval.

How to write a winning proposal

Shopify buyers typically evaluate proposals on commercial clarity, not just design quality. They want to know how merchandising, checkout flow, and technical implementation will support revenue growth.

For catalog-heavy brands, information architecture and collection logic should be explicit. For subscription or bundle models, proposal language should address app dependencies, recurring billing behavior, and fulfillment impact.

If migration is involved, include assumptions around data quality, redirects, and legacy app parity so launch risk is realistic.
