Shopify migration

    Move from app-heavy commerce to owned infrastructure.

    Shopify is a strong place to start. Some brands outgrow app dependency and need more control over data, workflows, and tracking. We migrate without breaking the business.

    Who this is for

    • Brands paying more in apps each month than in platform fees.
    • Teams blocked by plugin limits when changing checkout, email, or stock logic.
    • Operators with scattered customer and order data across many tools.
    • Premium brands that need a storefront the theme will not allow.

    Common symptoms

    • Rising monthly app cost with little operational return.
    • Conversion tracking that disagrees with Stripe and the bank.
    • Customer data spread across reviews, email, loyalty, and support tools.
    • Slow product, content, and stock changes that need a developer.
    • Theme limits shaping the brand instead of the brand shaping the store.

    What we migrate

    Everything that defines the business moves with you, structured properly in your own database.

    • Products, variants, collections, and content.
    • Customer records and order history.
    • Stock balances and inventory logic.
    • Checkout flow with verified webhooks.
    • Email flows: confirmation, shipping, recovery, post-purchase.
    • Tracking events for ads, analytics, and internal reporting.
    • Admin workflows for the team that runs the business.

    What stays flexible

    We do not lock you in. Payment provider, email delivery layer, analytics and integrations remain swappable.

    • Payment provider of your choice
    • Managed email delivery layer for transactional and lifecycle email
    • Server-side analytics of your choice
    • Any third-party API the business depends on

    Migration process

    • Audit current stack, costs, data, and tracking.
    • Map data model and admin workflows.
    • Build the new storefront and backend in parallel.
    • Migrate data with verified counts and reconciliation.
    • Switch DNS, monitor, and stabilise.
    • Decommission rented apps in a controlled order.

    Risks and how we reduce them

    • SEO loss: 301 maps and content parity before cutover.
    • Order disruption: parallel run and verified reconciliation.
    • Email deliverability: warmed sending domain and gradual migration.
    • Team disruption: training and documentation in advance.
