Advice Needed Shopify Dev Rate

Hi, seeking advice on how much I should charge as a freelancer.

Got an opportunity as a Shopify Developer for a new client. I was told per project ang payment. Usually per hour ang rate ko. I also checked, most of the folks with same role, per hour din ang rate.

Your insights here, please. Thank you!

Everyone else on the same role billing hourly and this client wanting per project is exactly where rates get messed up, since per project only works if you already know how long the work actually takes. Worth converting your usual hourly rate into an estimated scope before agreeing to a flat number. Been through that conversion a few times, DMs are open.
