Want to move from Magento to another e-commerce CMS?
You have checked Shopify feautures and are you excited at first?
We will tell you DO NOT be late!
First of all, let's make it clear that we are of the opinion that all CMS have their "good" and their "bad"! Shopify also has its disadvantages. Below we analyze you:
After our first applications, we found that it does not match the needs of our existing clientele and, in general, the way most small and medium-sized online stores work. All businesses prefer convenience and generally low operating costs. In this parameter we will add the most important element called "autonomy. What business doesn't want to be somewhat autonomous and not need a developer on hand for the slightest thing? Many businesses weigh the costs of hiring a developer or outsourcing the maintenance of their e-shop to a Development Agency. But that's not all!
In both cases you are never sure of the speed of execution of some actions. For example, most of the time business owners perform work on their e-shop in the late afternoon or on the weekend when they have free time.
During this time it is difficult to find a third party partner to provide support, or if they do, their hours may be a bit expensive. The same happens in the event that the e-shop has downtime due to a high workload or another unstable factor.
Always in such matters the existence of a team of programmers & server technicians is imposed. They will be informed soon to resolve the issues facing the e-shop, so that no time is lost from its online course. Due to the problems of the e-shop, the advertising budget will also be lost, if the advertisers do not deactivate the campaigns in time.
In summary we will tell you to choose Shopify for the following reasons:

Why should I move from Magento to Shopify?
The new Magento called Magento 2 is the CMS that here at IMBNet we decided not to provide to our customers, while we were quite happy with the older Magento 1. There are several reasons that led us to this.After our first applications, we found that it does not match the needs of our existing clientele and, in general, the way most small and medium-sized online stores work. All businesses prefer convenience and generally low operating costs. In this parameter we will add the most important element called "autonomy.

Due to the problems of the e-shop, the advertising budget will also be lost, if the advertisers do not deactivate the campaigns in time.
In summary we will tell you to choose Shopify for the following reasons:
- 1. Only with 32€/month you will have unlimited server space,
- 2. It has the fastest support compared to other CMS,
- 3. It is the most secure e-commerce platform with a whopping 99.8% uptime rate.
- 4. It has built-in SEO features and functions to improve organic ranking,
- 5. It has thousands of paid and free apps for different purposes,
- 6. It is quite easy and simple platform even for the most inexperienced user.
- 1. Server rental exclusively for your e-shop (dedicated server). Usually Magento server subscription costs more than €60/month.
- 2. The technical support necessary in Magento to avoid security threats or sudden outages. The hourly cost for Magento Developers usually ranges from €35 – €60.
- 3. Unclear information about the lifespan of Magento 1. Also, the way it was communicated by the company officials no longer inspires confidence in online stores. Migrating from Magento 1 to Magento 2 was not an easy task as it required a lot of time and money.
Conclusion
Considering all the above, if you wish to stay with Magento you should calculate the cost of maintenance and support from an experienced technical department. In no case should you save money from these actions as you will have major issues. With Shopify you'll have a modern ecommerce platform that's pretty up-and-coming without feeling like you're building daily the bridge of Arta!What we can transfer from your old e-shop
