Intersport ElverysPartnering with StudioForty9 to migrate our ecommerce platform to Shopify Plus was a critical decision for Intersport Elverys. From the outset, the StudioForty9 team demonstrated a deep commitment to understanding our vision. We now have a website that is not only visually stunning but functionally superior, leading to increased engagement, conversion rates, and overall customer satisfaction. We are excited to continue our journey with StudioForty9 and I would highly recommend them for any large-scale ecommerce transformation.
KeanesWe worked with SF9 on a very big project of a new e-commerce website build, and we continue to work with them on growth strategy & support. I speak for our team as a whole when I say we could not recommend StudioForty9 enough! The whole process of was pleasant, efficient, and the team took a very hands on and in-depth approach in evaluating all of our wants & needs as a business.
GalvinVery professional, efficient and creative ecommerce company. These guys know exactly what they are doing and not only delivered for us an amazing end result but helped in enabling us to work along side and do our bit as part of the process. Also, very honest and logical when different issues arose as well as being patient with us in the early stages of the project roll out.
Compare your current legacy platform overhead against estimated Shopify Plus subscription, transaction, and operational costs in minutes.
Understanding your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is the first step in building a business case for replatforming. Use our interactive Shopify Fees Calculator to model your projected platform fees, payment gateway costs, and potential infrastructure savings.
Please Note: This calculator provides an estimate only. The calculator figures are based on standard platform pricing tiers, typical transaction volumes, and baseline build parameters. Every enterprise retail business has unique back-end dependencies—such as custom ERP/EPOS integrations, complex product option logic, or multi-store architecture. To obtain a fixed-scope commercial proposal and precise project budget, our Business Analysis team will evaluate your exact technical requirements during a dedicated discovery workshop.
Our average migration timeline is 4 to 6 months from initial discovery to live cutover. The exact duration depends on project scope, custom UX requirements and the complexity of back-end ERP/EPOS integrations. Every project begins with an intensive scoping phase ("Measure Twice, Cut Once") to establish a firm, realistic timeline and eliminate unexpected delays.
No. Safeguarding your digital assets is a core priority. We execute meticulous 301 URL redirect mapping to preserve organic search rankings and domain authority. We also migrate historical product data, customer accounts (using secure, passwordless re-authentication) and complete order histories so your customers experience zero disruption on launch day.
We use Orchestra, our proprietary integration middleware, as the central nervous system connecting your storefront to legacy back-end systems (such as Meridian, Trader, SAP or WaveOMS). Orchestra manages bi-directional inventory syncs, 15-minute delta updates, price file reconciliations and complex order pass-backs for kits and bundles without slowing down front-end page speeds.
We offer three distinct migration pathways tailored to commercial goals and technical complexity:
