The team behind scandiweb's Shopify consulting
What our Shopify consulting services cover
Shopify consulting services give you senior judgment before budget is committed: an outside view of the decision nobody inside the company owns. Every recommendation scandiweb makes is one we could also build. That keeps the advice honest about what your store requires.
Platform architecture review
How your current setup holds up against what you plan to build next, with risks and dependencies written down early.
Shopify store audit
Every important Magento URL gets a 301 redirect at launch, so the search rankings you spent years earning stay in place after the move.
Growth roadmap and priorities
A Shopify growth roadmap that names which investment comes first and lays out the evidence supporting each recommendation.
Shopify Plus scoping
When Shopify Plus is on the table, we scope what the upgrade buys you and when staying on standard Shopify makes more sense.
Stack and integration advisory
Advice on the systems around the store: which apps earn their cost, and where an ERP or PIM connection belongs in the stack.
Analytics and data review
A review of your GA4 setup and event tracking, run with our eCommerce analytics services when the data itself is the problem.
Not sure where to start? The audit sets the priorities.
A Shopify store audit that ends in a roadmap
A Shopify store audit at scandiweb benchmarks your store against 150+ stores we have optimized, and ends in a prioritized roadmap: what to fix, in what order, and the expected impact. scandiweb delivered the full move of The New York Times from Magento to Shopify Plus, in agile collaboration with 5 client departments.

What happens in a Shopify consulting project
The project closes with an answer and a plan your team owns, whether scandiweb implements it or you do. Nothing is recommended until the audit evidence is in, so the roadmap you approve is built on what your store actually shows.
Scoping call
The call starts from whatever is unresolved on your side. We agree what the review must cover and what falls outside it, so the quote you approve is complete.
Audit and discovery
Consultants examine the storefront and the stack behind it, applying the MIT architecture of complex systems to reduce risk before any recommendation forms.
Findings and roadmap
Findings arrive in writing, and each item names the fix and the owner. The document reaches your team before the workshop, with time to read it properly.
Decision workshop
A working session with your team. We go through the findings together, and the session ends with the decision made and the next steps assigned.
Implementation handoff
The plan goes to whichever team you choose. If scandiweb builds it, the project can continue into Shopify support and maintenance after launch

Why teams pick scandiweb for Shopify consulting
Senior architects lead the work
The person who reviews your store is the person who writes the recommendation, and a delivery manager keeps the work on schedule.
150+ Shopify projects behind the advice
Built and audited Shopify and Shopify Plus stores for over a decade, including multi-market setups with ERP and PIM systems attached.
Platform-neutral advice
scandiweb also runs a Magento consulting practice and builds on BigCommerce. If another platform fits you better, you hear it from us first.
Backed by $4B+ in client sales
The stores scandiweb runs process $4B+ for our clients every year. Recommendations come from what holds up in production at that volume.
70+ stores audited monthly
scandiweb's growth specialists audit 70+ eCommerce stores every month and measure your review against what is working in live stores right now.
A 0.4% hiring bar
Only 0.4% of applicants make it through scandiweb's hiring process. Senior rates here pay for people selected and tested at that standard.
How Shopify consulting projects are priced
The price depends on how many systems the review touches and how many decisions you want settled. You approve one number before any work starts, and nothing is billed by the hour.
Fixed-scope Shopify store audit
The full Shopify audit, paid and vendor-neutral, at one price. The usual starting point when the store underperforms.
Platform or architecture review
A senior eCommerce consultant reviews one Shopify decision, a headless build or a checkout rebuild, with each tradeoff spelled out.
Advisory alongside your team
The same consultants stay available as new decisions come up. Priced monthly, and you decide how long it runs.

Frequently asked questions about Shopify consulting services
What does a Shopify consultant do?
A Shopify consultant reviews your store and the systems around it, then gives you specific recommendations: which platform tier to run, how to structure the architecture, what to fix first, and what to stop paying for. At scandiweb, consulting is led by senior architects and delivery managers with 15+ years of experience.
Hire from the Shopify Experts marketplace or a partner?
A freelancer fits when the task is small and well defined: the Shopify Experts marketplace is built for quick, contained jobs. When the question shapes the store for years ahead, a Shopify Plus decision or an architecture that touches an ERP, a Shopify consultant is the safer route. scandiweb hands smaller tasks back to your team honestly.
How much does a Shopify consultant cost?
Freelance Shopify experts on the marketplaces typically charge $50 to $200 per hour. A Shopify consulting agency prices the work differently: one fixed scope, agreed at the first call and sized to the questions you want answered. A one-off store audit costs less than a full architecture review, and ongoing advisory runs monthly.
Will you tell us if Shopify is the wrong platform for us?
Yes, and it happens. scandiweb is also the most certified Adobe Commerce agency in the world with 894+ certifications, a Hyvä Platinum Partner, and a certified BigCommerce partner, so the recommendation is not tied to one platform's revenue. When the requirements point elsewhere, the roadmap names the platform that fits and the tradeoff that comes with it.
What is included in a Shopify store audit?
A scandiweb store audit follows a structured seven-step framework: a kickoff workshop, benchmarking against UX best practices, web data analysis, customer feedback, session recording analysis, optional user testing, and an Optimization Roadmap. On a Shopify store the review covers the theme and app stack, checkout, data tracking, SEO, and site speed.
Do you consult on Shopify Plus?
Yes. scandiweb is an official Shopify Plus Partner and has been a Shopify Partner since 2016. A Shopify Plus consultant here covers upgrade timing from standard Shopify, checkout extensibility, multi-store and multi-market architecture, and automation with Flow, Launchpad, Multipass, and Scripts.
How long does a Shopify consulting project take?
The scoping call fixes the timeline together with the price: a single-decision review is shorter than a full store audit, and ongoing advisory continues month to month for as long as you keep it. You see the schedule up front, and the decision workshop is booked at kickoff.
Who implements the roadmap after the consulting project?
Whoever you choose. The roadmap is written so any competent team can execute it. If you want one accountable partner, the same company that wrote the audit can build it. scandiweb's Shopify development services cover theme work, custom features, integrations, and post-launch support, with one Delivery Manager owning the result.
