Guides

    Practical guides from projects we have delivered. Each one answers a question that comes up before a decision gets made, in enough detail to act on it - even if you never talk to us.

    No form, no download gate, no sales pages. If you want to know what a project with us would look like, the service pages are the right place instead.

    Migration & replatforming

    Changing platforms without losing revenue or visibility: redirect concepts, data model differences, sequencing and cutover.

    • Migrating from Shopware to Shopify without losing rankings

      This guide covers the redirect concept, data model differences, sequencing and cutover for a move from Shopware 5 or 6 to Shopify; theme development, payment selection and legal topics stay out of scope.

    • Enterprise replatforming: planning scope, decisions and cutover

      This guide covers planning, scoping, decision paths and cutover risks for platform changes at larger brands and B2B merchants, not the field mappings of individual migration tools.

      Read guide
    • Shopify migration checklist: before, during and after the move

      This checklist covers the sequence of a migration to Shopify regardless of the previous platform, not the field mapping of any specific source system, and not the choice of platform itself.

    • Shopify and PIM: when a product information system pays off

      This guide explains when a product information management system becomes necessary, which simpler means carry you until then, and what a staged rollout looks like. Choosing a specific vendor and negotiating contracts are not covered.

    Conversion & testing

    What can measurably improve in a store with purchase intent, and how not to fool yourself while testing.

    • CRO checklist for Shopify: running the audit in the right order

      Read guide
    • A/B testing on Shopify: tests that carry a decision

      This guide covers how to plan, run and honestly read a test, not which testing tool you should buy.

    AI & agentic commerce

    How to tell whether a store is prepared for AI assistants and agentic commerce.

    • Is your store ready for agentic commerce?

      This guide shows how to assess a store for agentic commerce readiness and what has to be in place; it is not an integration walkthrough for one specific protocol.

    How guides differ from the blog

    The blog is a running stream of articles: current topics, releases, observations from day-to-day work. Guides are the opposite - few pages, long-lived, revised rather than replaced, and structured so you can jump straight to the part you need.
