Moving products from WooCommerce to Shopify is the easy part, and it is the part every migration guide covers. The parts that actually go wrong are URLs, variants, customer passwords and the redirect map. This is a migration plan built around the failure points rather than the data export.
The honest answer is that a Shopify store costs anywhere from a few hundred to six figures, and the range is not agencies being evasive. It reflects genuinely different projects. This breaks the cost into its four real components so you can work out which end of the range you are at.
A Shopify retainer is a monthly agreement to keep a store maintained and improved. It is also one of the easiest agency purchases to get wrong, because the thing being sold is availability rather than output. Here is what belongs in one, how they are priced, and the cases where you should not buy one at all.
Scripts ran in a sandbox on Shopify's servers and could be edited in the admin. Functions are compiled WebAssembly modules deployed as an app. That difference shapes the whole migration.
The hard parts of a Shopify app are rarely the features. They are the distribution choice, the review requirements, and the storefront surface you commit to on day one.
Headless is not faster by default and not better by default. It buys you control, and control is only worth its price when you have something specific to do with it.
Review is not a formality at the end of a build. A large part of the checklist describes architecture, and discovering that after the app is written is how timelines slip.
A custom app assumes one merchant, one theme, one configuration. A public app can assume none of those, and that difference runs through the whole build.
A portfolio proves something was built. It says nothing about whether it still works, who maintains it, or what it left behind in someone's theme.
