Why it is hard
What makes Shopify resist a shortcut.
Your scope accounts for the platform requirements below, with written standards and a clear owner for each task.
Product data is the foundation
Collections, filters, search and feeds all read from it. Messy data quietly breaks four systems at once.
Merchandising needs a person
Collection ordering, seasonal swaps and landing pages need weekly hands, not a quarterly redesign.
Order exceptions need daily attention
Returns, fulfilment holds and customer questions pile up quickly when nobody owns the queue.
