Migrate Shopify → code

Move beyond Shopify constraints without losing commerce operations.

We rebuild the parts of your commerce stack Shopify can't flex — a headless storefront, checkout logic, back-office operations — as maintainable custom software you own. Orders keep flowing, your rankings are protected, and you get a clear scope, published price range and a safe, phased cutover.

What moves to code

  • A custom or headless storefront, free of theme and app limits
  • Checkout and payment logic Shopify locks down
  • Back-office and operations workflows Shopify can't model
  • Your catalog and product data model, rebuilt cleanly
  • The app-stack functionality you're paying per-month for

What can stay on Shopify

  • Shopify as catalog / checkout of record while we phase in
  • Low-risk marketing and content pages
  • Anything a rebuild wouldn't pay for yet

A phased split like this is the default for production teams — less cost, less cutover risk. A migration review draws the line for your case.

What we handle

The parts of a Shopify rebuild that actually carry risk.

Catalog & product data

Products, variants, collections and media migrate cleanly into a model you control — with a reconciliation pass so nothing is silently dropped.

Checkout & payments

Stripe Elements or your gateways, subscriptions and B2B terms, rebuilt with hosted fields that keep card data out of your PCI scope.

Orders & customers

Years of order and customer history are migrated, validated and reconciled against source counts before anything cuts over.

SEO preservation

A full redirect map and metadata plan so the URLs that earn your organic traffic keep their rankings through the rebuild.

Every migration follows the same disciplined path — assess, scope, rebuild, validate, cut over, hand over. See how the process works.

Frequently asked

Shopify migration questions.

Will I lose my search rankings?
That's the risk we design around first. Every indexed URL gets a mapped 301 redirect and its metadata preserved, and we QA the redirect map before and after launch. We won't promise zero fluctuation, but preserving organic traffic is a first-class part of the plan.
Do I have to move everything at once?
No. Most teams start with one layer — a custom storefront, a constrained checkout step, or the back-office logic Shopify can't handle — while Shopify keeps running. We phase the cutover so operations never stop.
What happens to my Shopify apps?
Each app is functionality we either rebuild natively or reconnect through its API. We inventory your stack up front so nothing your store depends on disappears at cutover.
Can I keep taking payments during the migration?
Yes. Payments and orders keep running on Shopify until the replacement is validated, and we cut over in a controlled window with a rollback path.
How much does a Shopify migration cost?
Commerce scopes are quoted individually — run the estimator below for a recommended plan and timeline, then book a review and we'll confirm the scope and a fixed project price.
