What you're escaping when you leave Shopify

The April 2026 fee hike

Shopify just casually dropped an email saying they're bumping online card fees in April 2026 — 2.9% + $0.30, plus +0.6% for premium cards and +1% for international cards. — merchant on r/shopify, April 2026

0% platform transaction fees on every plan. No premium card surcharge. No international card surcharge. You pay your payment processor and nothing else.

Fees on cancelled orders

Multiple merchants on Shopify Community report being charged transaction fees on cancelled orders — one merchant was charged $53 on a cancelled order. Shopify support calls it "industry standard".

Zero platform fees. If an order is cancelled, refunded, or never captured, you owe Mercentia nothing.

Apps have become worse than the mafia

Viral Shopify Community post from a 15-year merchant: "Apps that should be one-time purchases now charge monthly recurring fees, usage-based pricing, and percentages of revenue." Average store spends $50–200/month on apps.

Email marketing, reviews, loyalty, subscriptions, abandoned cart, and B2B — all built in. No Klaviyo, Yotpo, Recharge, SparkLayer subscriptions.

How it works

From "connect" to "live" in under an hour for most stores.

1
Connect
Paste your Shopify API credentials. We probe the connection live and report the resource counts (products, customers, orders) before you commit to anything.
2
Preview the diff
See exactly what will be created vs skipped, with the carryover matrix above made concrete to your store.
3
Run the import
BullMQ worker streams the data through. Progress bar updates per phase — collections, products, customers, orders, redirects. Resumable on failure.
4
Test on a preview URL
Your Mercentia store comes up on a *.mercentia.com subdomain. Browse the migrated catalog, walk through a test order, check the redirect map.
5
Cut over
Point your domain at Mercentia. The 301 redirects fire from the old URL shape so customer bookmarks and search engines keep working.
No lock-in

And if it doesn't work out? Take your data and go.

Every product, customer, order and discount exports to CSV on demand — no support ticket, no notice period, no retention call. We do not ship an importer for Shopify's exact column shape, so moving on means a mapping step; what we guarantee is that your data leaves with you, in full, whenever you ask.
