EKM is holding your business back
Rising monthly fees, limited design flexibility and a shrinking UK market share. EKM served its purpose but Shopify offers a fundamentally more capable platform for growth.
Limited design flexibility
EKM templates are rigid and difficult to customise beyond basic settings. Shopify gives you full control over every aspect of your storefront with a mature theme architecture and extensive app ecosystem.
Rising fees
EKM pricing has increased steadily while the feature gap with Shopify has widened. Transaction fees, template limitations and add-on costs erode your margin.
Shrinking ecosystem
EKM's developer community and app marketplace are a fraction of Shopify's. Finding help, extensions and integrations becomes harder every year.
Export limitations
Getting your data out of EKM is not straightforward. Product exports are limited and CMS content requires manual recreation. The longer you wait, the more content you accumulate on a platform you will eventually leave.

Questions
What happens to my SEO rankings?
Every URL on your EKM store gets a 301 redirect to its Shopify equivalent. Google follows the redirect and transfers the ranking authority. We also generate fresh SEO titles and meta descriptions using AI, which typically improves your search visibility from day one.
Does my current EKM site stay live during the migration?
Absolutely. Your EKM store stays live throughout the entire process. We build your Shopify store on a separate development domain. When you are ready to switch, it is a DNS change. Your current site continues to operate until you decide to go live on Shopify.
Will my conversion rate improve on Shopify?
Shopify has the highest converting checkout of any ecommerce platform. Shop Pay, Shopify's accelerated checkout, converts up to 50% better than guest checkout. The entire flow is optimised into a single page with auto-filled addresses, express payment options including Apple Pay, Google Pay and Shop Pay, and a frictionless one-step experience from cart to confirmation. Most merchants see an immediate uplift in conversion rate after migrating.
What if I have more than 2,000 products?
We have migrated stores with over 15,000 products. Larger catalogues are handled on a case-by-case basis. Get in touch with your store URL and we will confirm pricing within 24 hours.
Will my theme look exactly the same?
We visually match your current design on Shopify. The layout, branding, colours and structure will feel familiar to your existing customers. Many EKM merchants find the Shopify version is a significant improvement due to the platform's superior theme capabilities.
What about customer data and order history?
The fixed-price service covers product data, content and design. Customer accounts and order history migration are available as an add-on. Customer passwords require a reset on the new store due to differences between platforms — this is standard across all EKM migrations.
How long does it take?
Most stores receive their demo within a few days. The timeline depends on catalogue size and complexity. You will receive your dev store link as soon as it is ready for review.
Will I save money on Shopify compared to EKM?
Most EKM merchants see a reduction in total platform costs after switching to Shopify, particularly when factoring in transaction fees, app capabilities and the reduced need for workarounds. Shopify Basic starts at £19/month with a 2% transaction fee only when using external payment providers.
What about EKM's data export format?
EKM exports products as individual rows per variant which differs from Shopify's grouped structure. We handle the complete data restructuring as part of the migration. You simply share your URL and we take care of the rest. ---
