Frequently asked questions

Still have a question? Talk to a real human on our team - we usually reply within one business day.

What do Shopify development services cover?
Theme work, app development, headless builds, integrations, migrations, performance, and CRO. The full lifecycle from launch through scale.
Shopify vs Shopify Plus - when does Plus pay off?
Plus pays off when you need checkout customization, higher API limits, B2B / wholesale, multi-store, Shopify Flow at scale, or dedicated account management. Most D2C brands hit that threshold between $1M and $5M annual revenue.
How much do Shopify development services cost?
Project bands depend on theme vs headless, integration count, and app development needs. Typical builds start in the mid-five figures. Retainer and dedicated FTE quoted separately.
How long does a Shopify build take?
A scoped theme-based build runs 6-12 weeks. A headless build runs 12-20 weeks. Replatforms run 10-18 weeks depending on source platform and data complexity.
What results can I expect?
Outcomes we have measured include 18x traffic and 15x revenue growth at Bummer over 2.5 years, and reduced operational cycle time on Shopify apps like warranty automation.
Headless vs traditional Shopify theme - which one fits us?
Headless wins when you need brand-led storytelling, multi-channel reuse, and frontend performance beyond what themes deliver. Traditional themes win when speed-to-market and app ecosystem ease matter most.
Can you migrate us from Magento, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce to Shopify?
Yes. Data parity, URL mapping with 301s, SEO preservation, and a parallel-run cutover are standard parts of every migration.
How is H4H different from a Shopify Plus partner?
Plus partners specialize in Shopify. We pair Shopify development with data, AI, marketing, and design under one team - useful when the roadmap extends past the storefront.
