Is Shopify Plus worth it?

Usually once a store passes about $1M a year, or needs B2B, checkout control or several markets. Below that, Shopify's standard plans cover most stores and Plus rarely pays back.

How long does a WooCommerce to Shopify migration take?

4 to 8 weeks for a typical DTC store. Bigger catalogs and B2B take longer; we confirm the timeline after the catalog and URL audit.

Will I lose SEO when I move to Shopify?

Not if the move is planned. Every old URL is kept or gets a one-to-one 301 redirect, titles, descriptions and structured data carry over, and we watch rankings, 404s and indexing daily after launch.

Can you migrate subscriptions and gift cards?

Gift cards move with products, customers, orders and discounts. Subscriptions depend on the subscription apps on both sides, so we confirm at the audit whether contracts can be moved or customers need to re-subscribe.

Do you support Shopify POS?

Yes. We set up Shopify POS so the shop and the website share one inventory, including moves from legacy POS systems.

What is Hydrogen and do I need it?

Hydrogen is Shopify's React framework for headless storefronts, hosted on Oxygen. It suits big catalogs and custom UX and needs Shopify Plus; most stores don't need it.

Can we keep selling during the migration?

Yes. The new store is built alongside the old one and the cutover runs in a short window, typically 48 hours, so there's no freeze on orders.

What does a migration cost?

It depends on catalog size, integrations and design scope. We quote after the catalog and URL inventory.
