Shopify

Yes. One Shopify store can serve company accounts and retail customers at the same time. Company accounts get their own prices, payment terms, and credit limits, while retail customers use the public catalog. Order approvals and credit rules usually need custom work on top of Shopify B2B, which we build. Wholesale and retail share the same products and the same inventory, so a price change or a stock movement does not have to be entered twice. For Senneco, a Givesco brand, that setup improved operational efficiency by 20%.

There is no single duration. It depends on the size of the catalog, the integrations (ERP, payments, shipping), and how much of the old store is custom. Every migration starts with a roadmap that lists the data to move, the URLs to protect, and the integrations to rebuild, with a timeline and a price before anything is migrated. We have completed 12 migrations this way, from WordPress, Joomla, Laravel, and custom platforms. The roadmap is there so launch day does not surprise the team on SEO, orders, or how they work.

Shopify Select Partner is a tier in Shopify’s partner program for agencies with a track record of building and growing merchants on Shopify. Studio Maze Design is a Select Partner in Montreal, and Shopify is the only commerce platform we build on. That covers custom themes, web apps, POS apps, migrations, B2B, and Hydrogen. The people who write the roadmap are the people who ship it. We do not hand over a plan and leave the build to someone else.

Both. We design and develop custom themes, and we build Shopify apps for the web and for POS when the standard features stop. For Stay Sharp, we moved the store from Clover to Shopify POS and built a custom POS app for their knife-sharpening service. Checkout can also carry rules a theme cannot: delivery zones, order minimums, and product compatibility checks.

Yes, for most major ERPs, through an existing connector. When the ERP is custom, or the connector does not cover the orders, inventory, customers, or pricing you need, we build the integration directly. Either way, the goal is that those records move between Shopify and the ERP without someone retyping them.

Plus is a separate decision from choosing Shopify. It becomes relevant when checkout has to follow your own rules, or when B2B and a high-volume retail store need to live together. For Les 3 Maîtres Gourmands, a delivery-date app failed, so we moved them to Shopify Plus and rebuilt delivery-date selection, blackout dates, and payment rules in the checkout, replacing two paid apps in the process. Whether Plus is the right plan for a given store is covered on our Shopify Plus page.
