The Shopify price you see isn't always the price you pay
Your Shopify plan may cover the storefront. But the features you need to run the rest of your business often come from paid apps, paid upgrades, and extra transaction fees.
Your apps stack up
Subscriptions. Wholesale. Shipping automation. Page building. Product reviews. Each app may solve one problem, but together they can add hundreds of dollars to your monthly cost. Some charge a flat monthly fee. Others also take a percentage of sales or charge per transaction.
Your fees aren't always predictable
Shopify's advertised card rates don't always reflect the full cost of each sale. If you use a payment provider other than Shopify Payments, they can add an additional transaction fee, and some apps may charge their own percentage on top. These extra fees can make the true cost of running your store much higher than the starting rate suggests.
One missing feature can trigger a major upgrade
Sometimes you don't want to upgrade. You just need one more catalog, more staff access, or a feature your current plan doesn't include. On Shopify, that can mean moving to a much more expensive tier, even when the rest of your setup hasn't changed.
Support gets better as the price goes up
Shopify provides chat support across its plans, but priority support is reserved for Shopify Plus. Merchant Tech gives every merchant direct access to human support, without requiring an upgrade.
What if it was all included on one platform?
With Shopify, every app is another monthly bill and another interface to learn. With Merchant Tech, the features you need are already built in and your monthly price stays the same.

Your storefront
We replicate your website to a tee. Your store's design, navigation, products, and custom pages are all recreated so you get a 1:1 transfer when moving your website to Merchant Tech.
Your products and inventory
All the work you've put into your product pages comes with you. Descriptions, images, SKUs, variants, pricing, and inventory counts all transfer over intact.
Your subscriptions
We transfer your subscription details and notify subscribers when it's time to update their payment method so recurring charges can resume securely.
Your domain
Your web address stays the same. When your Merchant Tech store is ready, your migration specialist helps point your existing domain to the new site.
Your SEO foundation
The search signals attached to your existing store are left intact. We set up proper redirects and preserve meta data so the work you've put into SEO doesn't go to waste.
It's not just cutting costs.
It's letting go of what's dragging you down.
The hours spent learning another app, solving technical problems on your own, building workarounds for things Shopify doesn't support, or typing with a chatbot when you just need a real person who knows your store.
How migration works
Switching platforms is way smoother than people expect, and there's no interruption to sales.
01
We rebuild everything behind the scenes
We recreate your website and transfer your products, inventory, and store infrastructure without affecting your live Shopify store.
02
We migrate and review together
In one guided session, your migration specialist walks you through your new dashboard, and makes sure everything has been accounted for.
03
You approve it. We take you live.
After a final review, we guide you through connecting your domain. Your existing store stays live until the new one is ready, so there's no downtime or disruption to sales.
“Other platforms I've tried, you're on your own. But Merchant Tech actually handled the migration for me, and made sure nothing got lost in the transition. I couldn't believe I was getting that level of support for free.”
