Before you switch platforms
Most migrations lose traffic in the small details.
Old links break. Pages drop out of Google. Customers can't log in. Then the new store gets the blame. We map every detail before anything moves.

FAQ
Shopify migration questions.
Is WooCommerce cheaper than Shopify long term?
Often, yes. Shopify fees and app subscriptions keep adding up. WooCommerce has no platform transaction fees. Our calculator shows your own numbers.
Which is better for SEO, Shopify or WooCommerce?
WooCommerce gives you full control of URLs, schema and page structure. Shopify locks some of these. It matters more as your catalogue grows.
Will my store go offline during the move?
No. We build and test on a private server. Your Shopify store keeps taking orders until the final switch.
Will I lose products, customers or orders?
No. We move every product, variant, customer and past order, then check them before launch.
Will my Google rankings drop?
Rankings drop when redirects are missed. We map every old URL and keep your titles and descriptions, so Google can follow the move.
How long does a migration take?
Most take 7 to 14 days. It depends on catalogue size and custom features. You get a firm timeline after the cost audit.
What happens to my Shopify apps?
We list what each app does, then replace it with a built-in feature or a one-off plugin where possible.
