Ready to move to something more flexible? Shopify and Shopify Plus give you the performance and the room to grow.
As a specialist Shopify development agency in Manchester, we manage the whole migration: strategy, data handling, custom development and go-live support. You keep your traffic and you keep trading.
Replatforming feels like a big step. We start with a full platform audit, mapping performance, integrations and where you’re heading next.
From there it’s a structured Shopify migration: product and customer data, theme development, checkout optimisation. As a Shopify agency in Manchester, we’ve done this often enough to know where it usually goes wrong.
We’re a dedicated Shopify Plus Agency in the UK supporting growing businesses with complex store requirements. If your roadmap includes automation, international expansion or multi-channel sales, Plus starts earning its cost. That includes:
Custom theme development aligned with your brand
Strategic planning to streamline your setup
API-driven integrations with tools like Klaviyo, ReCharge, and ERPs
Ongoing support and optimisation so your site keeps improving
Migrating to Shopify means access to the best of modern eCommerce. No clunky plugins or bottlenecks. Shopify Plus gives you:
1
Automated workflows with Shopify Flow

Integrations That Scale With You
We shape every integration around your setup. WMS platforms like Peoplevox, ERPs like Brightpearl or Netsuite, marketing tools like Klaviyo.
Custom integrations automate the operations work and cut the repetitive admin. As part of our Shopify store support, we build them around how you already work.
If you’re unsure whether to migrate now or wait, the NNP Workshop gives you an answer. We audit your setup, benchmark the key metrics and put a number on the revenue you’re leaving on the table, plus exactly where Shopify would help.
It’s the clearest first step towards replatforming, and creating your next nice problem.
An Aero Commerce to Shopify migration that paid off
Robinsons of Bawtry were held back by Aero Commerce, a platform that couldn’t keep up with their ambition. They needed a clean move to something built to scale.
We migrated them to Shopify and kept optimising from there. Online revenue grew by more than 500%, with conversion and traffic climbing alongside it. A migration that became a growth story.
That’s the point of replatforming. A foundation for everything that comes next.

What our clients say
I worked with Actuate on the redevelopment of the Pickett London website. Their team is an excellent asset for any company or team, it was a pleasure to work with them – easy to communicate with, easy to reach and always willing to help.

Actuate Digital has helped us improve the site’s UX and increase our conversion rate. Their team leverages their expertise to provide sound opinions and advice to guide the project in the right direction. They also always offer on-hand support and communicate via email and meetings.
Daniel Wright Reliant
Without Actuate’s help and support, our original website wouldn’t have succeeded. Time was of the essence, and Actuate stepped in to deliver a swift turnaround. The new site has performed exceptionally well ever since. We continue to grow thanks to Actuate. ❤️ Thanks guys!”
Chantelle Telford Robinsons of Bawtry
“What impressed us most was how quickly Actuate identified the root cause. Within the first call they’d spotted the metadata issue that had been tanking our traffic. Everything that followed has been just as sharp.”
Mitch Tamcken AutoID
We’ve worked with Actuate for several years and the results have been consistent. Conversion rate up 113%, AOV up, bounce rate down. They know our business inside out, and it shows.
