I have a Shopify site but barely sell anything online. Should I switch?+
Probably yes. If Shopify is functioning as a brochure site with a 'buy' button you rarely use, you're paying $29–$79/month for what should be a one-time $30–$100 site. Build the marketing version in DesignSnipe, keep Shopify only if you're actually doing meaningful order volume, or migrate fully if you're not.
Can DesignSnipe handle product pages and checkout?+
It can render product pages, pricing pages, and accept payments via Stripe (we ship a working cart-checkout integration). What it doesn't do: inventory management, shipping zone calculation, tax compliance across jurisdictions, abandoned-cart recovery, multi-variant SKUs. If you need those, you need a real storefront — Shopify or otherwise.
When should I stay with Shopify?+
When you're doing real e-commerce: physical products, inventory you need to track, multiple SKUs, shipping calculations, sales tax across states, recurring subscriptions. Shopify is genuinely best-in-class for those. DesignSnipe is the better choice the moment 'storefront' is just window dressing for a service business.
Will my Shopify customer data move over?+
Customer accounts, order history, and CRM data don't transfer to a marketing site — but they shouldn't need to. If you're moving because Shopify is overkill, the move is: build the marketing site in DesignSnipe, point your root domain there, and either keep Shopify on a /shop subdomain for the cases where customers really do buy, or sunset it entirely.
What about my Shopify theme customizations?+
Designed for replication, not migration. DesignSnipe's AI takes a one-paragraph brand brief and drafts the design from scratch — your visual identity, your brand colors, your photos. Most users end up with a cleaner, faster version of what their Shopify theme was trying to be.
