01 — Shopify
Shopify, from migration to the Monday after.
We are a Shopify Partner, and more besides. Most of what we do on Shopify is one of four things. Some clients arrive with a store that already takes money and already annoys them; others arrive with nothing but a product and a deadline.
01
Migration
Moving without losing anything
Products, customers, orders, URLs and rankings come across. We redirect the old paths, keep the search equity, and pick a switchover window when you are not trading hard. You should notice the new store; your customers should not notice the move.
02
Store build
From nothing, or from something tired
Design, build, content and the operations behind it. We start from how you actually sell — your ranges, your seasons, your returns — rather than from a theme that has to be argued with later.
03
Point of sale
One stock figure, not two
Shopify POS set up or migrated so the shop floor and the website read from the same inventory. If you have ever sold something twice, this is the fix.
04
Growth
Knowing which half worked
Marketing, analytics and the reporting that tells you where the revenue came from. We would rather show you a smaller number you can trust than a larger one you cannot.
How a project runs
Six steps. No surprises in the middle.
This is the shape of almost every project we take. If yours needs to be different, we will say so on the first call rather than three weeks in.
01
First call
Working out whether this is a fit
Thirty minutes. You tell us what is not working and what you are trying to reach. We tell you honestly whether we are the right people. Sometimes the answer is no, and we would rather find that out now than after a proposal.
02
Look at the real thing
Your store, your numbers, your stock
We go through the store as it stands — the theme, the apps, the analytics, the way orders actually reach your warehouse. Most of the important problems are visible here, and most of them are not the one you called about.
03
Scope and price
One document, one number
You get a written scope: what we will do, what we will not, what it costs, and roughly how long. Fixed where we can fix it. If something is genuinely unknowable up front, we say that instead of padding the estimate.
04
Build
Visible while it happens
You get a staging store you can open whenever you like, and a person you can message. We would rather you tell us something is wrong in week two than approve it politely in week six.
05
Go live
The careful bit
Redirects mapped, analytics checked, payments and taxes tested with real transactions. We pick a quiet window and we are on hand for it. Launch day should be boring.
06
After
Whatever you actually need
Some clients want a monthly retainer. Some want us gone and reachable. Both are fine. What we will not do is make you dependent on us to change your own opening hours.
Questions we get asked first
How long does a migration take?
For a straightforward catalogue, four to six weeks from scope to live. What stretches it is rarely the products — it is usually a custom checkout, a subscription tool, or an ERP that has to keep talking to the store.
Will we lose our Google rankings?
Not if the redirects are done properly. We map every old URL to its new home before launch and check the crawl after. Expect a wobble for two or three weeks; expect it to come back.
Do we need Shopify Plus?
Usually not. Plus earns its price at high volume or with complex B2B rules — and for wholesale specifically, Bee2Bee does much of that job on a standard plan. We will tell you if you genuinely need Plus.
Can we keep our current design?
Yes, if it is working. Rebuilding a design your customers already know is often the most expensive way to change nothing. We will say when it is worth it and when it is not.
What happens after launch?
Whatever you want to happen. Retainer, occasional help, or nothing at all. You own the store and the code; we are not holding anything hostage.
Tell us what you're building.
A first call is thirty minutes and costs nothing. Bring the thing that is annoying you most — that is usually the fastest way in.
