1/ Replatforms stall for boring reasons. Not because Shopify is “hard.” Magento, SFCC and BigCommerce moves die on theme, data, apps, redirects and ops.

5/ Redirects and ops: 301 every indexed URL before cutover. Plan password resets, shipping, tax, fraud and staff access. That is the work that protects revenue.

Most Magento / BigCommerce / SFCC → Shopify stalls are not “platform risk.” They are unfinished theme, messy data, missing app twins, late redirects and ops nobody owned. Check those five before you flip DNS. Free store review: cal.com/usegather/snowball

Apps and integrations: reviews, subscriptions, ERP, search, loyalty. List what must work on Monday after DNS. “We’ll find an app” is how go-lives slip.

Data: PIM exports missing prices or images, BC options over Shopify’s variant limits, SFCC cartridges with undocumented logic. Sample-import on a development store first.

Replatforms stall on data maps, app rebuilds, redirects, and who owns the first 30 days after go-live. Not on which theme you pick.

4/ Redirects and SEO: every URL that earned traffic needs a plan. Miss it and organic dips for months.

5/ Ops: who owns cutover, training, and the first 30 days of tickets? Agencies that vanish after launch keep brands stuck.

1/ Most Magento, SFCC, and BigCommerce → Shopify moves stall for the same four reasons. Not the CMS. The work around it.
