What it asks
The factors that actually decide how hard a migration is
Not a generic checklist. These are the areas where migrations to Shopify most often turn out to be more work than the original estimate assumed — grouped the way the questions run.
Source platform
- What are you moving from?
Catalog
- How large is your catalog?
- How are your products structured?
Data
- How much order and customer history needs to come with you?
- How good is your access to the current data?
SEO
- How large is your indexed URL footprint?
Checkout
- How customized is your current checkout?
Commerce model
- Do you sell subscriptions or recurring orders?
- Do you sell business-to-business as well as retail?
Systems
- What else is connected to your store?
Markets
- How many markets do you sell into?
Team
- Who will own this internally?
Timing
- What is driving your timeline?
Using the result
A score is only useful if it changes a decision
Every risk the scorecard flags comes with an action you can take on your own. Whether that ends with us is a separate question — the result is worth having either way.
Before you request proposals
The flagged areas are the ones an agency will price defensively if you cannot answer them. Resolving a few first usually changes the quote more than negotiating does.
Before you fix a launch date
Timing risk compounds everything else on this list. Knowing which factors apply to you is the difference between a date you chose and a date you inherited.
When you need internal agreement
The report is written to be forwarded. It gives finance, operations, and marketing the same picture of what the move involves and where the effort actually goes.
FAQ
About the scorecard
What it measures, what it does not, and what happens to your answers.
It measures how much complexity and risk your migration is likely to carry, based on the thirteen factors that most often decide whether a move to Shopify goes smoothly — source platform, catalog structure, data quality, SEO footprint, checkout customization, integrations, markets, ownership, and timing. A higher score means fewer complicating factors, not a better business.
No. Nothing is crawled, connected, or inspected. The result is calculated entirely from your own answers, so it is an informed indication rather than a technical assessment. A real audit looks at the data, the theme, the apps, and the integrations directly, and it regularly finds things a questionnaire cannot.
No. Your score, the risk areas, and the recommended actions all appear on screen as soon as you finish. The email is optional and sends you the same breakdown in a form you can forward to the people who need to see it.
We send the report, and we read every submission. If your answers suggest something we could genuinely help with, we may follow up once. We do not run a mailing list, and we do not pass your details to anyone else.
A low score means the migration needs phasing and proper discovery, not that it is a bad idea. Most of the highest-value moves to Shopify come from exactly the complicated situations this scorecard flags — long-lived catalogs, custom checkouts, and systems that have accumulated a decade of business rules.
Yes. Every risk is paired with an action you can take regardless of who does the work, and the report is written to be forwarded internally or used as a brief. If it makes you a better-informed client of someone else, it has still done its job.
