How much will we save by leaving Shopify?

Beyond eliminating 0.5–2% transaction fees and $2,000+/month Shopify Plus plans, you save on app subscriptions. Most stores save $30,000–$100,000+ annually.

Will we lose our Shopify apps?

Shopify app functionality is replaced with custom integrations or equivalent SaaS tools. We audit every app and ensure parity before migration.

Can we still use Shopify POS?

We can integrate your custom platform with Shopify POS via its API, or migrate to an alternative POS system depending on your retail needs.

Migrate from Shopify to Custom E-Commerce

Break free from Shopify's template constraints and transaction fees with a fully custom e-commerce platform built for your unique business model.

Migration: Shopify to Custom E-Commerce

From Shopify to Custom E-Commerce Platform

Why Migrate

Eliminate Transaction Fees: Shopify charges 0.5–2% per transaction on top of payment processor fees. A custom platform eliminates these platform fees entirely.
Custom Checkout & Pricing Logic: Build subscription models, dynamic pricing, bundle discounts, and multi-currency support without the limitations of Shopify's checkout extensibility.
Full Data Ownership: Own your customer data, analytics, and order history without platform lock-in. Build custom reporting and integrate with any third-party tool.

Migration Roadmap

E-Commerce Requirements Mapping (1–2 weeks): Audit Shopify store configuration, product catalog, payment integrations, and custom Liquid templates. Define custom platform requirements.
- Product catalog export and schema design
- Payment and shipping integration plan
- Custom feature requirements document
Platform Build & Data Migration (6–10 weeks): Develop the custom e-commerce platform, migrate products, customers, and order history, and integrate payment processors.
- Custom e-commerce application
- Migrated product catalog and customer data
- Payment gateway integration (Stripe/PayPal)
Testing & Launch (1–2 weeks): Test checkout flows end-to-end, validate inventory sync, and execute the production launch with DNS and Shopify redirect handling.
- End-to-end checkout test report
- Inventory reconciliation audit
- Production launch with monitoring

Risks & Mitigation

Order and customer data loss during migration: We export all data via the Shopify API, validate row counts and checksums, and run parallel systems until data integrity is confirmed.
Revenue loss during checkout transition: We launch the custom checkout in shadow mode first, comparing conversion rates before switching live traffic. Rollback is instant.

Estimated Scope

Hours: 250–500 | Cost: $500–$1,000 | Timeline: 8–14 weeks
