Frequently asked
switcher questions
Everything you need to know about migrating from Shopify to Storofy.
Most competitors of Shopify (like Wix or BigCommerce) charge steep base subscriptions or force upgrades when your sales grow. Storofy provides an affordable, zero-complexity alternative with 0% platform transaction fees, built-in apps, and free setup.
Unlike typical Shopify type websites that require installing dozens of expensive 3rd-party plugins for reviews, bundles, and WhatsApp alerts, Storofy includes all essential ecommerce tools out of the box so your store loads faster and converts higher.
Yes! Simply export your products from Shopify as a standard CSV file and import them directly into Storofy in one click. Plus, our team can migrate your catalog, categories, and settings for free during our Done-For-You store setup.
Shopify's business model relies on expensive monthly tiers plus heavy third-party app store commissions. Storofy builds core essentials directly into the core platform (reviews, product bundles, custom domain connection, and analytics), saving you $100–$300+ every month.
Yes. Shopify charges an extra 2.0% transaction fee if you use any third-party payment gateway or manual payment methods like Cash on Delivery (COD) or IBFT. Storofy charges $0 platform fees across all plans. Payment gateway fees are separate.
Yes! You can connect your existing domain name (from GoDaddy, Namecheap, Shopify Domains, etc.) to Storofy seamlessly with free SSL included automatically.
In most cases, yes! Shopify stores often suffer from slow load times because multiple third-party apps inject unoptimized external scripts. Storofy has these features built directly into our lightweight architecture, resulting in faster load times and higher checkout conversions.
Not at all. With our Free Done-For-You Store Setup, our team connects your domain, uploads up to 10 products with categories, configures your recommended apps, and gets your store live for you.
