Question 1

How long does it take to migrate to Shopify?

Accepted Answer

When considering a migration to Shopify, the determining factors are the project's nature and scale. Let's explore various scenarios to understand this better:

Imagine a small local store looking to expand online with a simple setup. This type of migration project is relatively straightforward and usually takes about 2 to 4 weeks. It's perfect for businesses with a modest website, fewer than 100 products, and limited custom features or integrations.

Then there's the standard migration, more suited to medium-sized businesses. This typically involves a broader range of products, between 100 and 1,000, along with some custom functionalities and a handful of integrations. Such projects often span 1 to 2 months and allow for a more comprehensive setup.

Large businesses with over 1,000 products, extensive customizations, and multiple integrations (like CRM and ERP systems) fall into this category. Such projects can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months, given their complexity and the volume of data to be migrated.

For large enterprises with highly specialized needs, an Enterprise-level migration usually require complex custom solutions, advanced integrations, and extensive data migration and optimization efforts. Such projects can stretch from 6 months to even a year, reflecting the scale and intricacies involved.

And lastly, custom migration projects. These are unique, tailored to specific needs or challenges, such as migrating from a bespoke system or dealing with unusual platform intricacies. The duration for these migrations is the most variable, hinging entirely on the specific requirements and challenges of the project.

Question 2

Shopify migrations impact SEO significantly?

Accepted Answer

Migrating to Shopify may pose a significant risk of losing search engine rankings. However, Shopify migration specialists ensure the maintenance of your SEO standing, even when substantial changes are made to your website's URL structure. A key aspect of the process that protects your SEO ranking includes setting up URL redirects, which allow the addresses from your previous e-commerce store to remain functional on your new Shopify site.
