We already counted what is broken. We can go and fix it.

The scan is free and always will be. If you would rather not spend a weekend in the bulk editor, this is what it costs to have someone do it.

Four ways in

About the pricing rules

The ACCC lists "promoting a price as being a sale or special price, when it is actually the normal price" among its examples of misleading price displays, and states that businesses must not display prices that are wrong or likely to create a false impression. It also notes that where an item sits at a sale price for an extended period, it may be misleading to keep calling it a sale, because the price has effectively become the normal one.

In June 2026 a Melbourne online retailer paid $79,200 after the ACCC issued four infringement notices over strikethrough pricing and returns policy statements. The ACCC notes that paying an infringement notice is not an admission of a contravention.

None of that is a legal opinion about your store, and this is not legal advice. What we do is show you which of your price displays currently read incorrectly, fix them, and write down what changed. If your situation is genuinely arguable, that is a conversation for a lawyer and we will say so.

How it works, start to finish

1. You send your store address. I run the scan and send you the actual numbers before you pay anything, so you can decide whether it is worth doing at all.
2. If the numbers are small, I say so and we stop. No invoice.
3. If you go ahead, I send a fixed-price invoice for a 50% deposit. Bank transfer, payable within 7 days, ABN on the invoice.
4. You add me as a Shopify staff or collaborator account with product permissions only, once the deposit clears.
5. I do the work and send you the report, the work list, and a fresh scan showing what changed.
6. The balance is invoiced on delivery, and you remove my access the same day.

Paying, plainly

Bank transfer to an Australian account, against a numbered invoice with my ABN on it. Half up front, half when the work is delivered. Seven day terms. No card details, no payment portal, no subscription you have to remember to cancel.

There is no GST on the invoice, because DeadSKU is under the $75,000 turnover threshold and is not registered for it. If that changes you will see it itemised, and the price on this page will change with it rather than quietly gaining 10%.

If it goes wrong

The deposit is refundable until I start. If you change your mind before I have touched anything, say so and it comes straight back.

If the finished work does not match what this page describes, I fix it or refund the balance. That is a narrow promise on purpose. I am not promising your revenue will go up, because nobody can honestly promise that. I am promising the specific, countable thing you paid for: the pages listed get handled, and the follow-up scan proves it.

Nothing is deleted without your say-so. Every product marked for unpublishing or redirecting is confirmed with you first, product by product. If you later disagree with a call, the before scan means it can be put back.

The honest parts

Sometimes the answer is do nothing. Keeping a sold-out product live is a legitimate choice. Seasonal lines come back, restock alerts collect emails, and the page may hold a ranking worth keeping. I will tell you which of yours fall into that category rather than deleting them for the sake of a tidier number.

A comparison price equal to the selling price is not a problem. Most themes render nothing for it. Plenty of scanners will count it against you anyway to make the number look worse. We count it separately and we do not charge to fix it.

If your store is basically fine, I will say so and not invoice you. Plenty of the stores we scanned scored in the nineties. Running the numbers first is exactly so neither of us wastes the time.

I cannot promise a revenue lift. Anyone who does is guessing. What I can tell you is precisely how many pages are broken now and how many are broken after, because both are measurable.

See a real report before you decide

You should not have to take my word for what lands in your inbox. Here is an actual report, generated from an actual scan, with the store's name and product names removed because I do not publish an identifiable store's report without their permission.

Who I am, and how new this is

I am a web developer in Sydney. I built the scanner behind this page and ran it against 877 real Australian stores myself, which is where every number on this site comes from. You can read the raw findings for coffee and fashion without giving me anything.

I have been paid for freelance work before — $30,000 across 43 jobs on Upwork at a 4.86 rating. That work was 3D and NFT art, not ecommerce. So it tells you I finish things and clients pay me. It does not tell you I have done this particular job a hundred times, because I have not.

DeadSKU is new, and you would be early. I would rather say that than dress it up. What I can put in front of you instead of a wall of testimonials is the scanner, the 877-store dataset, the method written out, and a sample of the exact deliverable. Judge it on that.

Ask about any of these

Tell me your store address and I will run the scan and reply with the actual numbers, usually the same day. Nothing is charged and nothing is committed at this point — you are asking a question, not placing an order.
