A custom Shopify build typically ranges from the high four figures for a focused storefront to mid-five figures for complex catalogs, custom apps, or Shopify Plus. We scope a fixed price after understanding your products, integrations, and design needs. ### Do you customize a Shopify theme or build from scratch? Both. We can customize and extend a premium theme to move quickly, or build a fully custom theme from the ground up when your brand needs a one-of-a-kind storefront. We recommend the right path for your budget and goals. ### Do you migrate stores from WooCommerce or other platforms to Shopify? Yes. We handle migrations from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, and other platforms, moving products, customers, and content while preserving URLs and SEO so you do not lose rankings or traffic. ### What is Shopify Plus and do I need it? Shopify Plus is Shopify's enterprise tier, with checkout customization, higher API limits, and automation tools. It is worth it for high-volume stores, B2B, or brands needing custom checkout. We will tell you whether standard Shopify is enough for now. ### Do you build headless Shopify storefronts? Yes. For brands that need maximum speed and design freedom, we build headless storefronts with Hydrogen or a custom front end backed by Shopify, while keeping Shopify's checkout and admin.
