| Pricing and business rules | Rebuilt. With native Shopify features, an app or development, matched to your plan. | Each customer type sees the right products and price. |

Some records import once they’re prepared. Some features have to be built a different way. Some records belong in an archive you can open. What moves depends on our access to the source and on what’s feasible, so any exceptions and extra costs are written down before you approve the scope.

Shopify’s redirect tool has limits. It only works from addresses that no longer load a page, and URLs with query strings may not redirect the way you’d expect. When a redirect can’t be done, we agree another way to handle it. Rankings can shift after a platform move, so we can’t promise the same traffic or a redirect for every URL. Our article on SEO considerations for ecommerce migration goes into more detail.
Example paths for illustration only. We work from your store’s real URLs, redirects and settings.
We go through your catalog, data, features, URLs and connected systems.

We get the agreed records ready while your current store stays live.
You look over Shopify in private and we fix the issues we agreed to.
We refresh the records that keep changing, then coordinate the cutoff and the switch of systems.
We look at what happened around the switch and account for any agreed records that went missing, even a single order.

Some requirements call for Shopify Plus and some can’t be matched natively at all. We compare each one with what the current Shopify plans offer, then recommend a native feature, an app, development or a different plan.
The online store migration was seamless without having 0 downtime. The staff is properly trained, well communicated and proactive Highly recommended
Web commerce pros created a really lovely design for our website. They also changed the layout for our images and updated/resized images so that the site is overall much more attractive. We have been receiving a lot of positive feedback from customers on the ease of use and the overall look of our site. In addition, we are very grateful to Roy for coming up with a creative solution for allowing customers to easily create their own quotes, which has been very helpful to both our operations and our customers.
Arfat and team were proficient with BigCommerce Page Builder and Shogun to create and modify pages. We successfully completed the migration with their assistance and were happy with their work. We would hire again soon for our next project.

What it usually covers
The directory above links to a guide for each platform we cover. We always begin by looking at your actual store, its data and the features you rely on. If your platform isn’t listed, send us the site address and we’ll see what access we have and how we’d approach it before we agree a scope.
No, your store URL and a note on what you want changed are enough. We’ll work out how the store is set up and tell you what we need for a proper review. Keep passwords, API keys and customer files out of the public enquiry form, because we arrange access separately.
Yes. We test the setup we’d propose against how your products behave, how customers buy, the systems you connect and what it all costs in total. Shopify isn’t the right home for every business. If something important needs a different approach, we say so before you agree to the project.
That depends on the proposal, which names the records, storefront work, feature replacements, integrations, SEO preparation, testing and launch tasks that are in. Moving data and rebuilding a whole store are different jobs with different scopes. We settle requirements and responsibilities first, so you know what you’re getting and what’s left out.
Parts of it, yes. We can look at recreating pieces of the design you have, customizing a Shopify theme or starting with a new one. The code from your old theme won’t run on Shopify by itself. Together we decide which layouts, content and behavior to rebuild, including how they work on a phone.
Often we can, depending on what we can reach. We look at the records, how they connect and which import methods are supported, then agree what’s included. Customer accounts, past orders, review data and marketing consent each need their own handling. Limits, and any records that are better kept in an archive, are written down so nobody assumes everything transfers as is.
Not as they are, so we look at what each important feature does and agree how to build it on Shopify. That could mean a native feature, an app, an integration or scoped development. Copying the data across doesn’t bring the behavior with it, and the proposal explains any extra app costs or changes to how you work.
Yes, it keeps trading while we prepare Shopify on the side. Ahead of launch we agree the cutoff, catalog changes, the records that keep changing and the final updates. Any temporary restrictions are planned in advance. Then we coordinate the switch and reconcile late activity around launch as agreed.
It can. We list the URLs and content that matter, match them to Shopify pages and test the redirect approach Shopify supports. The metadata, internal links and indexing checks we agree on are part of the scope. A platform change can move rankings and traffic, so no responsible migration service can promise they stay the same.
We look at your store before naming a price or schedule, because both depend on source access, catalog complexity, history, storefront needs, integrations and testing. The proposal keeps our project work apart from Shopify, theme, app and other third party costs, and it marks where your team reviews progress.
Not necessarily. We pick the plan based on the features your business needs, and things like B2B tools, catalogs, checkout customization and staff access differ from plan to plan. Having a large catalog or selling wholesale doesn’t settle it on its own, so we check the current plan details while we scope the project.
The proposal states how long support lasts and which migration issues it covers, plus what you and we each handle at handover and afterward. New features and unrelated development are scoped separately. Before anything gets cancelled, we also agree which source records and services need to stay available.
