Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to develop a custom Shopify theme?
Custom Shopify theme development typically takes 4-8 weeks depending on complexity, design requirements, and special functionality. The process includes discovery, wireframing, design, development, testing, and revisions to ensure a high-quality result that perfectly matches your brand and business needs.
Can I migrate from Magento to Shopify without losing SEO rankings?
Yes, with proper planning and execution, you can migrate from Magento to Shopify while preserving your SEO rankings. Goodahead implements comprehensive URL mapping, 301 redirects, metadata transfer, and content preservation strategies to maintain search engine visibility during migration, ensuring your organic traffic continues flowing after the switch.
What are the advantages of Shopify Plus over standard Shopify?
Shopify Plus offers significant advantages for enterprise businesses, including higher API call limits, script editor for custom checkout modifications, advanced automation tools, multiple user accounts with role-based permissions, clone store functionality, and dedicated account management. These features enable larger organizations to scale operations, customize the platform more extensively, and manage complex business processes efficiently.
How do custom Shopify plugins differ from apps in the Shopify App Store?
Custom Shopify plugins (private apps) are developed specifically for your business needs and aren’t available to other merchants, unlike Shopify App Store solutions. They provide tailored functionality, deeper integration with your specific business systems, enhanced security by limiting data access, and don’t incur recurring subscription fees common with marketplace apps, making them ideal for unique requirements or proprietary processes.
What ongoing support do you provide after launching a Shopify store?
After launch, Goodahead offers comprehensive support including monitoring, performance optimization, security updates, bug fixes, feature enhancements, and technical consultation. We provide various support packages with defined response times and service levels, ensuring your store remains secure, performant, and up-to-date as your business grows and Shopify’s platform evolves.

Technical Requirements for Shopify Development
- High-quality product images and detailed product information for catalog setup
- Brand assets including logos, color schemes, typography, and design guidelines
- Payment gateway account credentials for integration (Stripe, PayPal, etc.)
- Shipping carrier accounts for rate calculation and label printing
- Domain name and hosting credentials for proper configuration
- Existing platform access (if migrating) for data export and analysis
- APIs and access credentials for any third-party systems requiring integration
Shopify vs. Alternative E-commerce Platforms
While Magento offers extensive customization and is ideal for complex enterprise needs, Shopify provides a more accessible, fully-hosted solution with lower technical overhead and faster implementation. WooCommerce integrates well with WordPress but requires more hands-on management than Shopify’s turnkey approach. Custom-built platforms offer ultimate flexibility but at significantly higher costs and longer development timelines. Goodahead’s Shopify development services bridge this gap by providing enterprise-level customization on Shopify’s stable, scalable infrastructure, creating the perfect balance of flexibility, performance, and manageable total cost of ownership.
