If you distribute the $2,000 among these several sites, those expanding retailers help to lessen your actual monthly fee.

What does it Cost to Migrate Data to Shopify Plus?

Ecommerce platform migration is a major undertaking! The cost of migrating your data to Shopify Plus is only one of several factors to take into account. The most typical data types our clients transfer to Plus are listed below:

  • Order Data
  • Customer Data
  • Product Data
  • Customer Reviews
  • 301 Redirects

It's essential to migrate order, customer, and product data to your new Shopify Plus site. Your clients will want to check past order histories before placing new orders because they anticipate a smooth transition to your new business. Additionally, you'll want to migrate all of your product evaluations. We can assist with exporting that data and transferring it to a variety of Shopify review choices, including Stamped.io, Yotpo, and several other well-known review applications.

Last but not least, keep SEO in mind. When you switch to Shopify, your URL structure will change, so it's crucial to implement 301 redirects so that buyers who click on your old Google listings are directed to the new URL on your Shopify Plus site.

As migration work is understandably quite specialized, the following factors will affect our quote for the work:

  • Number of customer records
  • Ease with which we can export data from your current platform
  • Total number of URLs we need to do 301 redirects for
  • Timing of when we can migrate
  • Necessary Integrations

How Much Does Shopify Plus Design Cost?

The process of designing your new Shopify Plus website can be exciting for your company. You now have the opportunity to completely redesign your brand's guidelines, colors, logo, and overall aesthetic of your new website.

Companies who approach us intending to switch to Shopify Plus often fall into one of four categories:

  • Need a completely new design for their store
  • Looking for a mild design refresh
  • Planning to grab a Shopify Theme with some minor customizations
  • Planning to develop own Shopify Theme for several Shopify stores

Your rates will vary quite a bit depending on where you are on the design scale. For instance, your design expenditures will be relatively low if you choose a Shopify theme and only want very small customizations. The majority of businesses who contact us are searching for a distinctive and personalized design as a means to set their brand apart from competing online shops. The cost of bespoke themes ranges from $10,000 and higher, depending on the degree of customization, the number of features needed, and the creation of unique templates that you desire.

How much does Shopify Plus development cost?

The cost of Shopify Plus development with ECORN Agency largely depends on the specific requirements and features you envision for your new store. Factors influencing the development expenses include:

  • Extent of design personalization
  • The total count of pages to be created
  • Required third-party integrations
  • Custom app creation
  • Deadlines

For instance, if you're aiming for a highly tailored design, it'll necessitate more intensive coding on the Shopify liquid templates. Similarly, the development of 8 distinct pages is more time-consuming than crafting just 3 or 4. Additional requirements, like API integrations with in-house software or connections to fulfillment centers, will further extend the development timeline. Notably, if you're considering having ECORN Agency develop a bespoke Shopify app for you, it could considerably augment the project's scope and intricacy based on the desired features.

When should we migrate to Shopify Plus?

Deciding when to migrate to Shopify Plus depends on a combination of your current business needs, growth trajectory, and the limitations you're encountering with your existing platform. Here are some indicators to help you determine if it's the right time to consider migrating:

  1. Scaling Sales Volume: If your sales are approaching or exceeding the $800,000 per month mark, it's likely a good time to consider Shopify Plus. The platform is designed for high-volume merchants and can handle significant traffic and transactions.
  2. Customization Needs: As your business grows, you might find that you require a higher level of customization – be it in the checkout process, theme, or overall functionality. Shopify Plus allows for a more tailored shopping and checkout experience.
  3. Multiple Storefronts: If you're expanding to different markets, languages, or currencies, and need multiple storefronts, Shopify Plus can facilitate that with ease.
  4. Complex Operations: Integration with third-party systems, such as ERPs, CRMs, or specialized fulfillment solutions, is easier with Shopify Plus due to its advanced API capabilities.
  5. Advanced Marketing and Promotions: With Shopify Plus, you have exclusive access to certain features and automation tools, such as Shopify Scripts, that can offer more sophisticated discounting, promotions, and overall shopping experiences.
  6. B2B Needs: If you're entering or expanding in the B2B segment, Shopify Plus offers a Wholesale channel that can accommodate the distinct requirements of wholesale business.
