Questions to ask a specialist

Planning the work
What can affect project scope
These factors help explain why proposals can differ. Include what you know and invite specialists to identify assumptions that still need to be resolved.
Catalogue complexity
Variants, product rules, bundles and large catalogues require more data planning and testing.
Design approach
Theme configuration, substantial customisation and custom development have different delivery needs.
Migration
Products, redirects, customers, subscriptions and order history may need separate migration plans.
Business systems
Inventory, POS, fulfilment, accounting and marketing tools can affect architecture and testing.
Before you choose
Common mistakes to avoid
- Installing apps before defining the actual business requirement
- Underestimating product data, photography and collection structure
- Ignoring redirects and organic search value during a migration
- Launching without testing payments, shipping, emails and analytics
