  • Are my eCommerce needs too complex for Shopify?

    Novatize supports B2B companies with complex needs such as ERP integrations, advanced pricing rules, large product catalogs and specific operational processes. SPINE, Novatize’s Shopify accelerator, was specifically designed to address these complexities and enables the deployment of robust, scalable Shopify platforms up to three times faster.

  • What Is a Shopify System Integrator?

    A Shopify System Integrator is a specialized partner that designs, integrates, and optimizes Shopify-based technology ecosystems. This includes connecting Shopify with ERP, CRM, PIM, OMS, WMS, marketing platforms, and other business systems that support commerce operations.


  • Can you migrate from Magento to Shopify without losing SEO rankings?

    Yes. A properly planned Magento to Shopify migration can preserve and in some cases, improve organic search performance. Key considerations include URL mapping and redirects, content migration, metadata, internal linking, site architecture, structured data, and technical performance.


  • How long does a Shopify migration take in B2B or B2C contexts?

    The duration depends on factors such as system complexity, data volume, and required integrations. However, it can be significantly reduced through a structured approach and accelerators like SPINE, enabling secure and high-performance migrations within 3 to 6 months.

  • Why use an accelerator like SPINE?

    Fully custom Shopify projects can be lengthy, costly and harder to maintain. SPINE provides a solid foundation to address advanced business needs while reducing integration complexity, development costs and long-term maintenance. It allows teams to focus on high-value elements like customer experience and industry-specific features.
