Question 1

How long does migration take?

Accepted Answer

Most migrations finish inside 1 to 2 weeks. Headless and custom builds run 3 to 4. Discovery in week one sets a fixed delivery date, and we have not missed one in six months.

Question 2

Can you migrate all my products?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Products, variants, images, inventory, customer accounts, order history, reviews, and metadata move across with mapping you can verify before launch. We have migrated catalogs as small as 80 SKUs and as large as 240,000.

Question 3

Will my SEO be preserved?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We map every marketplace listing URL to its new store equivalent, deploy 301 redirects, and rebuild the sitemap and schema. Most stores recover or exceed their organic traffic baseline inside 90 days.

Question 4

Will people still find me on Google? Can I outrank my eBay listings?

Accepted Answer

Honestly: a brand-new domain does not outrank eBay overnight, because eBay has 25 years of authority. What we do is protect what you have and give you the levers eBay never did. We redirect your existing traffic and links to the new store, and you start ranking quickly for your brand name and specific product terms. Over the following months you out-rank your own eBay listing for those terms, because now you control the page titles, structured data, page speed, and content (a blog, guides, category pages) that marketplaces never let you touch. Our SEO Migration Pack add-on accelerates this. We will give you a realistic timeline in discovery rather than promise overnight number-one rankings.

Question 5

If I leave eBay, where does my traffic come from? eBay brings the traffic.

Accepted Answer

This is the most important question, so here is the honest answer. The biggest shift is that you stop renting customers and start owning them. On eBay every buyer belongs to eBay; on your own store you keep their email and order history, so your existing buyers become a list you can market to directly with email, SMS, and repeat offers instead of being one-time strangers. That owned audience is traffic eBay never let you keep. On top of that we set the store up to win new traffic: SEO and Google Shopping so you rank for what you sell, plus retargeting and paid ads that finally pay off once you are not handing 12 to 15 percent to the marketplace on every order. And you do not flip a switch and abandon eBay. You keep selling there through the migration and beyond, pointing those buyers to your own store over time, so traffic never drops while your owned channel compounds. Most sellers run both for a while, then watch more and more orders come straight to them at full margin.

Question 6

Can you integrate my existing systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shipping (ShipStation, Shippo, Royal Mail, USPS), accounting (Xero, QuickBooks, NetSuite), ERPs, 3PLs, PIMs, CRMs, email and SMS platforms. If it has an API or a webhook, we can connect it.

Question 7

Do I own everything after launch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Code, repository, domain, customer data, hosting accounts, and every credential transfer to you on day one. There is no retainer, no ongoing license to us, and no lock-in.

Question 8

What if I need a completely custom solution?

Accepted Answer

That is what our enterprise track is for. We architect bespoke commerce platforms on Next.js with the database, payment rails, and integrations your business actually needs. Delivery runs 3 to 6 weeks depending on scope.

Question 9

What does a migration project cost?

Accepted Answer

Fixed price, set after discovery. Shopify starts around $10,000. Headless and Plus builds run $25,000 to $60,000. Custom enterprise platforms scale from there. The fees you save in year one typically cover the build.

Question 10

Will my store keep running during migration?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your marketplace store stays live throughout. We cut over to your domain only when the new store is verified, tested, and approved by you.
