Switching from Shopify to Square Marketplace

e3c — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 15:44:20 GMT

We are using Square POS and works great. We use Shopify for our website and I am looking to migrate our website to Square Marketplace. We have lots of questions, including the process. So here goes:

Messenger - Our website with Shopify has a messenger app that is included, which customers use all the time and the messages pop up on my phone in Shopify Inbox APP. How do we do this Square Marketplace.

Wholesale - We have wholesale customers that need to login to our site to view all of our products, inventory levels, and to add special pricing per customer. How do we do this with Square Marketplace?

Packing Slip - We receive online orders from Shopify and have the ability to print a packing slip for our shipping department to apply to each order.

Shipment Tracking - There is a section in Shopify to add the shipping waybill and the customer automatically gets notified with all shipping details.

Home Page Sliders - We had a graphic designer create custom ads for use to use on our home page and there are multiple sliders. Will these still work on Square Marketplace.

SEO & Google - Will we lose any of our SEO or Google rankings by switching over from Shopify to Square. The site has been running for 8 years on Shopify.

Contact Management - The Square customers section, is there an add-on to have the ability to use Square as a contact manager. Ability to create more than 2 Categories. For example: Wholesale and have the ability to filter all Wholesale accounts. Ability to have multiple contacts for a Business account.

Wholesale Pricing - When we create an estimate or invoice for a wholesale customer, how can we change the retail price to their wholesale price without having to figure out a discount to bring the price down to their price. We do not want to have to create a new item with their pricing.

Pros & Cons - What are the pros and cons of switching from Shopify to Square Marketplace? Our major reason is that the inventory will be automatically adjusted for Online customers and inventory levels will be real-time. Will the wholesale customers have the ability to see our inventory levels when they login.

Migration Tool - Is there a tool to migrate from Shopify to Square Marketplace? We have our own custom domain with Shopify. Are we better off creating a temporary domain, migrating over and making sure everything is working and then incorporate into our specific domain name?

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer on these items before we make the switch.

Hi Kassi,

Trust me I have tried for the past week. Is there a dedicated account manager for us, or would be able to have a Tech specialist answer our concerns. I have a few weeks to move off of Shopify to your Square Platform.

Thanks,

E3C
