Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build a Shopify store?
Most Shopify builds take four to eight weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on scope, custom features and integrations. We agree on a clear timeline and milestones at the start of every project.
Can you migrate my store from WooCommerce, Magento or BigCommerce to Shopify without losing SEO?
Yes. We migrate from WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, custom builds and more. We map your URLs, set up redirects and verify every product, customer and order, so your rankings and data are protected. Most migrations take 6-8 weeks depending on store size and complexity. Find out more about Shopify Migrations.
Do you work with my existing Shopify theme?
We can. If you already have a Shopify theme you love, we’ll optimise and extend it. If not, we’ll design and build a custom storefront that matches your brand.
Can you improve the conversion rate of my existing Shopify store?
Yes. We review how customers move through your store, then test and refine your product pages, navigation, cart and checkout to turn more visitors into buyers. It can be a standalone project or part of an ongoing growth retainer. Find out more about Conversion Rate Optimisation.
Do you take a percentage of our Shopify sales?
No. We work on fixed project fees and monthly retainers, so you always know what you’re paying – no hidden commission or surprises.
How much does a Shopify agency retainer cost in the UK?
Our retainers start from £1,500 per month for Foundation, £2,500 for Growth and £5,000 for Scale, depending on the hours and scope you need. Book a call and we’ll recommend a package and give you a clear quote. See our Shopify Growth Retainer page for more information.
What’s the difference between Shopify and Shopify Plus?
Shopify suits most growing online stores. Shopify Plus is built for ambitious, high-volume brands that need more automation, higher rate limits, advanced apps, B2B, multiple markets and headless flexibility. We design, build and migrate on both, and we’ll tell you honestly which fits your business. Find out more about Shopify Plus.
How long does a Shopify Plus migration take, and will my store go offline?
Most Shopify Plus migrations take 6-8 weeks. We use a staged go-live and test every stage before switching over, so your store keeps selling throughout the move. Find out more about Shopify Plus migrations.
What does a Shopify growth retainer include?
A dedicated team that keeps improving your store month after month. That includes a monthly growth roadmap, ongoing CRO testing, builds and fixes, and regular performance reporting. You can scale hours up or down as your needs change, and we onboard most retainers within a week. Find out more about Shopify Growth Retainers.
Do you build custom Shopify features, integrations and B2B stores?
Yes. Our Shopify development covers custom features, third-party integrations, subscription solutions, B2B and wholesale, and cross-border selling. We build around how your business actually runs.
Can you make my Shopify store easier to find through ChatGPT and other AI shopping tools?
Yes. Our agentic commerce service prepares your store for AI shopping, so your products are clear, structured and easy for tools like ChatGPT to find and recommend. Find out more about Agentic Commerce.
