FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Shopify
Should I use Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify if you want zero infrastructure maintenance, fast launch, and proven scalability — you pay for the convenience. WooCommerce if you want full code ownership, lower platform fees, and already run WordPress. For most growing DTC brands, Shopify wins on speed-to-market and operational simplicity.
What is Shopify Plus and when do I need it?
Shopify Plus is the enterprise tier — unlocking checkout extensibility, B2B accounts, unlimited staff, Shopify Flow automations, multi-store expansion, and dedicated merchant success support. It becomes cost-effective above around $800K annual GMV when the features justify the higher monthly cost.
What is Shopify Hydrogen?
Hydrogen is Shopify's official React framework (built on Remix) for building headless storefronts using the Storefront API. It gives teams full design freedom while keeping Shopify as the commerce backbone — cart, checkout, payments, and inventory are all Shopify-native.
How long does a Shopify project take?
A theme customisation takes 2–4 weeks. A full custom theme build takes 4–8 weeks. A Hydrogen headless storefront takes 8–16 weeks. A platform migration (WooCommerce → Shopify) takes 4–8 weeks depending on data complexity and custom functionality.
Can you migrate our existing store to Shopify?
Yes. We migrate products, collections, customers, order history, blog posts, redirects, and custom metafields from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, or custom platforms. We preserve URL structure for SEO, validate every migrated record, and test in staging before DNS cutover.
How do you improve Shopify store performance?
We audit Lighthouse scores, reduce theme JavaScript, lazy-load below-the-fold sections, optimise images with Shopify's native image transformation, remove unused app scripts, and implement critical CSS inlining. Typical result: 30–60 point Lighthouse improvement and 40%+ reduction in LCP.
