A: Yes, and we do this regularly. We migrate product catalogs, customer accounts, order history, SEO URL structures, redirects, and reviews from platforms like WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, and custom-built stores. A properly executed migration loses nothing and maintains your SEO rankings. A rushed or poorly planned one can cost you months of search ranking recovery which is why how you migrate matters as much as whether you do.

That's the out-of-box theme problem. Shopify themes are starting points, not finished identities. We custom develop themes or heavily modify existing ones at the code level Liquid templating, custom sections, unique component layouts until your store has a distinct visual identity that no template buyer can replicate. The goal is for someone to land on your site and immediately feel they're somewhere specific, not somewhere generic.

Most Shopify stores have 15–25 apps installed and only actively benefit from 5–8 of them. Each app adds code that loads on your storefront, slowing your page speed and potentially hurting conversions. We audit your app stack, remove what's redundant, replace heavy apps with lighter alternatives, and sometimes build custom solutions for features that don't need a third-party dependency. Less is usually more.

Shopify Plus has a dedicated B2B module that handles company accounts, customer-specific pricing, payment terms (Net 30/60/90), draft orders, and bulk ordering. For stores on standard Shopify plans that need B2B features, there are well-established app solutions. We've built wholesale channels for clients across multiple industries and know exactly which approach makes sense at different business scales.

Abandoned carts are normal; high abandonment rates signal something specific. Common culprits: unexpected shipping costs revealed at checkout, too many form fields, limited payment options, lack of trust signals (no reviews, no security badges, unclear return policy), forced account creation, or a checkout flow that's slower than competitors. We run conversion audits that identify exactly where in your checkout funnel people are dropping off and why then fix those specific points.
