# Custom development services

Need a feature that's not available out of the box? Staylime offers paid custom development for merchants who want tailored functionality on top of our themes.

***

### What we can help with

* Custom layout changes and design adjustments
* New functionality not included in the theme by default
* Third-party app integrations that require theme modifications
* Store setup and configuration

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** Custom development is a paid service and is separate from standard theme support. Our free support covers theme settings and built-in features only.
{% endhint %}

### How to request

1. Go to our [contact form](https://staylime.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new)
2. Describe what you need — the more detail, the better
3. Share your store URL and, if possible, a Collaborator Code (this helps us assess the scope accurately)
4. We'll review your request and provide a time estimate

{% hint style="success" icon="coin-blank" %}
**Rate: $80/hour.** We'll confirm the estimated hours before starting any work.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://staylime.com/docs/services/custom-development-services.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
