When Shopify is the right fit
- ✓ You want a stable hosted commerce platform with lower infrastructure overhead.
- ✓ Your team needs an intuitive admin and mature merchant ecosystem.
- ✓ You want to launch or migrate without building every commerce primitive.
- ✓ Your differentiation is primarily the brand experience, catalogue, merchandising, and integrations.
- ✓ You need reliable multi-channel or international selling capabilities.
When to consider Medusa.js
- → Your core business model depends on custom pricing, subscriptions, fulfilment, or data models.
- → You require complete control over backend workflows and infrastructure.
- → Marketplace, B2B, or multi-entity logic cannot be modelled cleanly in Shopify.
- → Platform constraints create ongoing app cost or operational workarounds.

Shopify development FAQs
Do you build custom Shopify themes or customise templates?
Our preferred approach is a custom, modular theme designed around the brand, catalogue, and customer journey. We can also improve an existing theme when that is the more commercially sensible option. In both cases, we keep everyday content and merchandising editable in the Shopify theme editor.
Can you migrate an existing store to Shopify without losing SEO?
Yes. We inventory valuable URLs, products, collections, content, metadata, and backlinks; create a redirect map; migrate structured content; preserve canonical signals; and monitor Search Console after launch. Rankings cannot be guaranteed, but careful migration substantially reduces avoidable loss.
Do you support Shopify Plus and B2B?
Yes. We can design and implement Shopify Plus storefronts, company and buyer experiences, market-specific content, custom integrations, checkout extensions, and operational workflows. Platform features and plan requirements are confirmed during discovery.
Can Shopify be headless?
Yes. Shopify can power a custom storefront when the desired experience or system architecture cannot be delivered efficiently through a conventional theme. We recommend headless only when its benefits justify the additional engineering and operational complexity.

Plan your Shopify projectShopify privacy architecture
Theme, apps and markets form one customer-data chain.
A Shopify project should inventory native platform processing plus every installed app, tracking tag, market, checkout extension and external integration before launch.
Read the privacy policy- 01
Store and Shopify roles
Document the merchant’s decisions, Shopify’s platform role, eLan’s authorised implementation access and the responsibility of each selected app or integration provider.
- 02
Apps and pixels
Review the data requested by reviews, loyalty, subscriptions, email, analytics, advertising and support apps. Avoid overlapping tools and permissions that exceed the approved purpose.

Markets and transfers
International selling may involve market-specific notices, tax, currency, fulfilment providers and cross-border processing. Required regions and vendors should be confirmed during discovery.
- 04
Access and handover
Use collaborator or role-based access where available, identify the store owner, document app billing and permissions, and remove project access when the agreed work ends.
Shopify features, app behaviour and plan availability can change. The final privacy configuration must be checked against the merchant’s current Shopify plan, markets and installed apps.
