Everything you need to know about building, scaling, and optimizing your online store with AtlanticWorks. Have a specific question? Reach out directly.
We are a certified Shopify Partner with deep expertise in Shopify and Shopify Plus. The majority of our e-commerce builds, migrations, and optimizations are on Shopify. We also work with WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and Magento, primarily when migrating clients to Shopify for better scalability and lower total cost of ownership.
Shopify is built for growing online stores with straightforward needs. Shopify Plus is the enterprise tier that unlocks advanced checkout customization, B2B wholesale portals, multi-currency selling, higher API limits for integrations, and dedicated support. We recommend Plus for merchants doing $1M+ annually or those requiring ERP integrations.
A standard migration from WooCommerce, Magento, or BigCommerce to Shopify for a catalog of 500-2,000 products takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to go-live. That includes data migration, theme development, app configuration, checkout optimization, and testing.
