Why migrate from Umbraco to Shopify?

Shopify Plus offers the ease of use and scalability that enterprise businesses require. It provides a powerful system for managing high-volume sales, multiple international stores and complex business operations.

Whilst Umbraco is known for its content management system (CMS) and integrated ecommerce solution, it often requires significant technical input and extended project timelines, both of which can increase the platform’s overall cost of ownership.

Ecommerce teams using Umbraco are commonly looking for a more streamlined approach to tooling, with the ability to make quick, reactive customisations that align their store with fast-moving marketing trends.

In comparison to Umbraco, Shopify offers:

• Ease of use – Shopify consistently impresses retailers by combining user-friendliness with powerful, complex operations, reducing the need for constant developer involvement.

• Lower cost of ownership – Shopify’s total cost of ownership is approximately 33% lower than competing platforms, making it a cost-effective ecommerce solution for brands worldwide.

• Unrivalled app ecosystem – Shopify offers a vast app store, allowing ecommerce teams to easily add features and customisations without requiring development support. In comparison, Umbraco’s app marketplace is more limited.

• Flexibility – With Shopify’s extensive app store, Liquid coding and REST API, the platform offers limitless possibilities. Developers can integrate external systems and create custom solutions, so brands no longer need to choose between flexibility and ease of use.

• Enterprise-ready – Although historically associated with small to medium-sized businesses, Shopify is now a strong option for enterprise brands. Its advanced extensibility enables enterprise retailers to manage complex business operations at scale.

• High-performance – Shopify consistently ranks as the fastest ecommerce platform. With speed and site performance impacting SERP rankings, conversion rates and bounce rates, choosing Shopify means your platform will not restrict store performance or growth opportunities.
