Questions before we start
How do I choose between Shopify and CommerceTools?
Shopify (and Shopify Plus) is the best choice for most Australian retailers, it's fast to launch, has a massive app ecosystem, and handles most B2C use cases well. CommerceTools is a composable, API-first platform designed for enterprises that need complete flexibility and own their frontend. Choose Shopify if you want speed to market; choose CommerceTools if you have a development team and need a fully custom, headless architecture.
Can you integrate our eCommerce platform with NetSuite?
Yes, this is one of our core capabilities. We build automated integrations between eCommerce platforms (Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, etc.) and NetSuite using Celigo. Typical data flows include orders, inventory levels, customer records, pricing, and product data, all syncing automatically so your team doesn't have to move data manually.
What is composable commerce and do we need it?
Composable commerce is an architecture where you pick best-of-breed services (commerce engine, CMS, search, payments) and connect them via APIs, rather than using a single monolithic platform. It offers maximum flexibility but requires more technical investment. Most mid-market Australian retailers don't need it, Shopify Plus or BigCommerce will serve them well. Composable commerce (e.g., CommerceTools) makes sense for enterprises with unique requirements and dedicated development teams.
How long does an eCommerce replatforming project take?
A typical replatforming project takes 3-6 months from kickoff to launch. This includes platform configuration, theme/frontend development, data migration (products, customers, orders), ERP integration setup, payment gateway configuration, and thorough testing. Simpler migrations (e.g., Shopify to Shopify Plus) can be faster, while complex multi-store setups take longer.
Do you handle GST configuration for Australian eCommerce?
Yes. Australian eCommerce requires GST-inclusive pricing displayed to customers, with the GST component correctly recorded in your ERP for BAS reporting. We configure your eCommerce platform and ERP integration to handle this correctly, including multi-currency scenarios for international customers and GST-free thresholds for exports.
What's the difference between Shopify Plus and standard Shopify for Australian retailers?
Shopify Plus offers higher API rate limits (critical for ERP integration), Shopify Flow for automation, custom checkout (Checkout Extensibility), wholesale/B2B channels, and dedicated support. For retailers processing high volumes or needing ERP integration, Plus is usually worth the investment. Standard Shopify works well for smaller stores that don't need heavy automation or custom checkout experiences.
