Customisable and easy to manage
You can heavily customise the user interface and experience of your storefront using Shopify's Hydrogen (for headless) or Liquid (for traditional themes). Adding apps, running A/B tests, and tweaking designs is all possible without heavy dev work.

Migration Tips
Start with must-have features, not nice-to-haves.
Use Shopify Plus Partners that have B2B experience - Pocketknife is built for complex B2B use-cases and CV extensions can be handed as part of the project.
Don’t overcomplicate — lean into Shopify's best practices where you can.
Plan SEO carefully if you get a lot of organic traffic now.
