SPP.co Alternative for Ecommerce Agencies
Ecommerce agencies handle complex, multi-service engagements — store builds, platform migrations, ongoing optimization, ad management, email marketing, and CRO — often for the same client simultaneously under different billing structures. SPP.co's productized order system can sell individual packages, but it cannot manage multi-phase development projects, coordinate cross-functional teams, track budgets against estimates, or handle clients who need a project-priced store build alongside an ongoing optimization retainer. The operational complexity of ecommerce agency work requires more than an order form. AgencyPro provides the structured engagement management, team coordination, and flexible billing that ecommerce agencies need.
If you're a E-commerce agency looking for an alternative to SPP.co, you're not alone. Many E-commerce teams switch when they outgrow SPP's capabilities — particularly around designed only for productized services, not custom projects. AgencyPro is purpose-built for agencies like yours, combining project management, client portals, and billing into one platform.
Why E-commerce Agencies Struggle with SPP.co
SPP cannot manage multi-phase ecommerce builds — store setup, design, development, data migration, QA, and launch require project management that SPP's order system does not provide
Multi-service client relationships are fragmented in SPP because each service line becomes a separate order with no unified client view or consolidated billing
No team coordination for cross-functional ecommerce work involving developers, designers, marketers, and strategists — SPP doesn't track internal team assignments or workloads
SPP's fixed-price order model cannot handle the mixed billing that ecommerce clients need: project fees for builds, monthly retainers for optimization, and hourly rates for ad hoc requests
Why E-commerce Agencies Switch to AgencyPro
Multi-Service Client Management
An ecommerce client might have a store redesign project, an ongoing SEO retainer, a PPC management agreement, and periodic CRO audits running simultaneously. AgencyPro provides a unified client view with multiple projects and billing structures per account. SPP fragments this into disconnected orders with no holistic view of the client relationship or consolidated billing across service lines.
Complex Build Project Management
Ecommerce store builds and platform migrations involve discovery, design, development, data migration, testing, and launch — with dependencies and multiple specialists. AgencyPro's phased project management with milestones, task dependencies, and team assignments handles this complexity. SPP has no project management at all; a store build and a social media graphic enter the same order queue.
Cross-Functional Team Operations
Ecommerce agencies coordinate developers, designers, marketing specialists, and strategists on shared client accounts. AgencyPro provides team assignment, workload balancing, and cross-project allocation views. SPP doesn't know your team structure — it processes orders with no awareness of who is doing the work or whether they have capacity.
Flexible Billing Across Service Lines
Ecommerce agencies bill project fees for builds, monthly retainers for ongoing services, and hourly rates for ad hoc requests — sometimes all for the same client. AgencyPro supports multiple billing structures per client with consolidated invoicing. SPP's rigid fixed-price orders cannot accommodate the billing complexity that multi-service ecommerce engagements require.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can AgencyPro handle a client with a store build project and an ongoing optimization retainer?
Yes. AgencyPro supports multiple projects per client, each with its own billing model, timeline, and team assignments. A single client can have a fixed-price store build, a monthly SEO retainer, and hourly CRO work — all visible in one unified client view with consolidated invoicing. SPP would require separate, disconnected orders for each engagement.
How does AgencyPro handle Shopify or WooCommerce migration projects?
Use phased project templates to structure the migration — data audit, platform setup, content migration, design implementation, testing, and cutover. Each phase has dependencies, milestones, and assigned team members. Budget tracking monitors hours against the estimate throughout, giving you margin visibility that SPP's flat order pricing cannot provide.
We sell some productized ecommerce services through SPP — do we lose that with AgencyPro?
Not at all. AgencyPro supports fixed-price project templates for standardized services alongside complex custom engagements and retainer management. You keep the ability to offer productized services while gaining the operational tools to manage everything else that SPP can't handle.
What's the biggest operational improvement over SPP for ecommerce agencies?
The unified client view with multi-service management. Instead of disconnected SPP orders for each service line, AgencyPro shows all active work, billing, team allocation, and progress for each client in one place. Combined with actual project management for complex builds, it transforms how ecommerce agencies manage their client relationships.
