Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Shopify Migration

SFCC is a capable enterprise platform, so the trigger is usually total cost of ownership. The licence, the agency retainer needed to ship small changes and the upkeep of custom cartridges add up. Shopify Plus moves hosting, upgrades and checkout security to Shopify, so the in-house team spends its time on the storefront instead of the platform.

Cartridges are not ported line by line, because Shopify has a different extension model. In the audit each cartridge is labelled: rebuild as a Shopify app or theme feature, replace with an existing app or a Shopify Function, or retire. Payment, tax and search cartridges often map to Shopify-native features or established apps; bespoke business logic is where the engineering goes.

Most SFCC promotions map to Shopify discounts. Logic that the standard discounts cannot express, such as tiered or conditional rules, is rebuilt as a Shopify Function. Custom apps that contain Shopify Functions run only on Shopify Plus, which is the plan an SFCC migration normally lands on. We list every promotion in the audit and show how each one will work before the build starts.

SFCC and Shopify use different URL structures, so every product, category and content URL needs a 301 redirect to its new address. We build the map from the SFCC storefront and Search Console data before cutover, check canonicals and structured data on the new pages, and monitor crawl errors and rankings after launch so gaps are fixed in hours.

Yes. Buying companies, their users and their delivery locations map to Shopify B2B companies, contacts and locations, with catalogs carrying negotiated prices. Shopify B2B is available on Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus; Plus adds unlimited catalogs and direct company and location catalogs, which complex B2B setups often rely on.

Products with variation attributes and images, categories, price books, customer profiles and order history. Large catalogues move through the APIs so custom attributes come across intact. Shopify does not import customer passwords from another platform, so we plan an account activation email for returning customers as part of the launch.

Yes. A store with very complex promotions, deep Salesforce CRM dependencies or B2B rules that Shopify cannot model may be better off staying. The audit compares the cost of staying with the cost of moving, and we put the recommendation in writing either way. We also build on SFCC, so a "stay" answer does not end the conversation.

SFCC merchants usually land on Shopify Plus. It is the plan with unlimited B2B catalogs, checkout UI extensions on the information, shipping and payment steps, custom apps that run Shopify Functions, and a GraphQL Admin API limit of 1,000 points per second against 100 on standard plans. The audit confirms whether you need it.

Each integration is rebuilt against Shopify's GraphQL Admin API and webhooks, keeping the data contract your ERP, OMS or PIM already expects where possible. We list every integration in the audit with its direction, volume and owner, and design around Shopify's API rate limits from the start.

Yes. Leaving SFCC does not mean leaving Salesforce. Customer and order data can flow from Shopify to Salesforce CRM through an integration, so sales and service teams keep working in the tools they use today. We scope that integration in the audit.

Yes. If you run a composable storefront on SFCC today, the front end can move to a headless Shopify build with Hydrogen on React Router or Next.js, with Shopify running the catalogue and checkout. We only recommend headless when the storefront needs it.

As a fixed scope, quoted in writing after the audit. The quote depends on catalogue size, custom cartridge depth, B2B scope and integration count, which we can only judge by reading your codebase. Quoting before the audit is how migration budgets go wrong.
