Should every Shopify store move to custom ecommerce?
No. A standard store may be better served by Shopify, targeted integrations, or a custom storefront retaining Shopify as its backend. We assess workflow requirements and total ownership costs before recommending a full migration.
What data can you migrate from Shopify?
The agreed scope may include products, variants, images, customers, inventory, and order history. We inspect permitted exports and API access first. Reviews, subscriptions, gift cards, app data, and customer account access require separate planning; not everything transfers automatically.
How do you handle SEO during a Shopify migration?
We inventory existing URLs, map redirects, preserve relevant content and metadata, and check canonical URLs, internal links, structured data, and sitemaps. Search performance is monitored after launch; unchanged rankings cannot be guaranteed.
What does a custom ecommerce migration cost?
We estimate after reviewing catalog size, workflows, integrations, data quality, and launch requirements. The proposal separates development and migration from hosting, third-party services, maintenance, and support. A custom platform is not automatically cheaper than Shopify.
What is custom ecommerce development for physical product businesses?
It is the design and development of ecommerce software built around the way a physical product business actually operates, including storefront workflows, admin controls, vendor roles, catalog logic, order visibility, integrations, and payment handling.
Who is this service a good fit for?
It is a strong fit for growing product businesses, multi-role stores, and marketplace-style commerce models that have outgrown standard hosted platforms or plugin-heavy setups.
Can you help businesses moving from Shopify or WooCommerce to a custom platform?
Yes. We help businesses assess whether a move makes sense, define what should migrate first, and plan a custom ecommerce structure around real workflows instead of platform workarounds.
Do you build vendor dashboards and admin approval workflows?
Yes. We can build vendor signup, vendor login areas, product submission workflows, admin moderation, and other role-based marketplace features when the business model requires them.
Can you handle Stripe, billing, and operational payment workflows?
Yes. We help plan and implement payment workflows for physical-product commerce, including Stripe integration, order-related billing logic, admin visibility, and the broader workflow around payments and support.
How long does a custom ecommerce project usually take?
It depends on catalog complexity, integrations, user roles, checkout requirements, and how much of the business workflow needs to move into the new platform. Focused phases can launch relatively quickly, while broader commerce platforms are usually delivered in structured stages.
