Frequently asked
switcher questions
Everything you need to know about migrating from Shopify to Storofy.
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 transaction fees across all plans. What you sell is 100% yours.
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.
