How long does a typical Shopify to MedusaJS migration take?

Most migrations complete in 8-16 weeks depending on complexity, custom features, integrations, and catalog size affect timeline. We provide detailed project plans with milestones during your free assessment. Simple stores can migrate faster; complex B2B operations with extensive customizations may take longer. We prioritize zero downtime, so final cutover happens in hours, not days.

What about my existing apps, how do those get replaced?

We audit every app you use and either replace functionality with MedusaJS native features (often superior to Shopify apps), integrate equivalent third-party services, or build custom solutions. Many apps exist because Shopify lacks core features, MedusaJS often includes these by default. We provide a complete app replacement strategy during assessment showing exactly how each function transfers.

Is this really cheaper than staying on Shopify?

Yes. Calculate 2-3% transaction fees on your annual revenue, add monthly Shopify fees and app costs, multiply by years you’ll operate. Most merchants recoup migration investment within 6-12 months through eliminated fees alone. Beyond first year, you’re saving tens or hundreds of thousands annually while owning a more capable platform. We provide exact ROI calculations during your free assessment based on your real numbers.

How do you ensure quality with Bangkok development costs?

Our Bangkok team operates under German engineering standards managed from our Frankfurt office. You get enterprise-grade quality at efficient pricing, not cheap work, smart pricing. We maintain 100% on-time delivery and 94% client retention by never compromising on quality. Every project includes rigorous testing, code reviews, and comprehensive documentation. Our clients span 12+ industries precisely because quality is non-negotiable.

What happens to my SEO and Google rankings during migration?

We preserve SEO through proper redirects, URL structure planning, metadata transfer, and schema markup implementation. Most migrations maintain or improve rankings because MedusaJS sites typically have better performance (Core Web Vitals) than Shopify stores. We include SEO preservation as standard in every migration, not an add-on.

Stop Paying Shopify 2% on Every Sale. Migrate to MedusaJS.

Own Your Platform, Keep Your Revenue

Every sale on Shopify costs you 2-3% in transaction fees. Add another $300-2,000/month for apps that should be core features. That's thousands disappearing from your revenue—money you've already earned. If you're doing $1M annually, you're giving Shopify $20,000+ just for the privilege of using their platform. DBot Software helps ambitious merchants break free. As an official MedusaJS Expert Partner with offices in Frankfurt and Bangkok, we've migrated brands from Shopify to open-source MedusaJS—eliminating transaction fees, removing vendor lock-in, and giving you complete control. Don't let platform fees cap your growth another quarter.

/The Challenge/

Shopify's Costs Add Up Fast

You started on Shopify because it was easy. Now you're stuck paying for features that should be standard. Transaction fees chip away at margins. Apps pile up—inventory management, advanced reporting, B2B capabilities, multi-currency—each adding monthly costs. Want custom checkout flows? That's Shopify Plus at $2,000+/month minimum. Need specialized B2B pricing tiers or complex approval workflows? You'll hit customization walls or pay developers to work around API limitations. Your data sits in Shopify's ecosystem, making migrations painful and keeping you locked in. Meanwhile, your competitors on open-source platforms operate with lower overhead and higher flexibility.

/Our Approach/

Every Month on Shopify Costs You More

At $1M annual revenue, you're paying $20,000+ yearly in transaction fees alone. At $5M, that's $100,000 going to Shopify instead of marketing, inventory, or team growth. Add app costs, platform fees, and developer workarounds—you're looking at real money leaving your business permanently. But here's what you're missing: complete platform ownership, zero transaction fees, unlimited customization without hitting API walls, true B2B and multi-vendor capabilities, and the freedom to build exactly what your business needs. Brands who migrate to MedusaJS typically recoup migration costs within 6-12 months through eliminated fees alone—then enjoy those savings perpetually while scaling without platform constraints.
