    Why Shopify

    Why Migrate to Shopify Plus: Partner with Codal for Your eCommerce Transformation

    Shopify Platinum partner
    Image

    Outdated technology on legacy platforms is expensive to run, slow to enhance, and requires a dedicated team to maintain. For brands looking to scale and take advantage of the latest trends, a legacy platform becomes a blocker.

    Image

    Your total cost of ownership is high, maintenance is complex, and you’re falling behind on innovation. New integrations require custom development instead of being plug-and-play, and performance issues impact conversions.

    Image

    Migrating from this stack enables your team to market more effectively, improve operational efficiency, and benefit from built-in SEO advantages. Shopify Plus provides the scalability, flexibility, and automation needed to grow your brand with modern SaaS tooling.

    sap

    SAP Commerce

    SAP Commerce users often struggle with high development costs, slow time to market, and complex backend management. While it provides deep enterprise capabilities, it lacks the agility and ease of use modern eCommerce demands. Shopify Plus offers a scalable, API-first solution with reduced maintenance overhead and a faster innovation cycle.

    magento

    Magento

    Magento retailers face rising costs, slow performance, and extensive development requirements to keep their store competitive. Managing upgrades and security patches is a constant challenge. Shopify Plus eliminates technical debt, providing an intuitive, high-performing platform that supports growth without the need for heavy maintenance.

    salesforce CC

    Salesforce Commerce Cloud

    Salesforce Commerce Cloud retailers experience long development cycles, expensive licensing fees, and complex integrations. While robust for enterprises, it can be inflexible and slow-moving. Shopify Plus provides a cost-effective, agile alternative with a composable commerce approach that streamlines operations and enhances performance.

    shopware

    Shopware

    Shopware retailers are typically frustrated by poor checkout UX, limited integration options, and a lack of autonomy over website changes. While flexible, it can be restrictive when scaling internationally or managing omnichannel operations. Shopify Plus offers a vast app ecosystem, enterprise-grade checkout, and true scalability for growing brands.

    woocommerce

    WooCommerce

    WooCommerce merchants often struggle with scalability limitations, security vulnerabilities, and rising maintenance costs. Managing plugins, hosting, and frequent updates requires ongoing technical effort, leading to downtime and performance bottlenecks. Shopify Plus provides a fully managed, high-performance solution with enterprise-grade security, seamless integrations, and the infrastructure to scale without operational headaches.

    Image

    Custom Platforms

    Custom-built platforms often lead to high maintenance costs, security concerns, and limited feature updates. Scaling a bespoke eCommerce solution requires extensive development resources, slowing innovation. Shopify Plus removes these barriers, providing enterprise-level flexibility, security, and speed to market without ongoing technical complexity.
