  • 02Your current shop is slow, clunky or hard to manage.

  • 04You need subscriptions, trade accounts or something unusual.

Good to know

Shopify or custom?

Most shops are best on Shopify: it's reliable and easy to run. Custom builds make sense for unusual products, pricing or very large catalogues.

Can you move our existing shop?

Yes. Products, customers and orders can usually be moved, with redirects so you keep your search rankings.
