Here’s Why More Specialty Food Brands Are Moving to Shopify in 2025
At Ludwig Marketing & Sales, we’ve worked with countless specialty food and CPG brands— sauces, condiments, snacks, you name it. If there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s this: when it comes to e-commerce platforms, most brands start with what’s affordable or familiar... and then quickly outgrow it.
Maybe you launched on WooCommerce or Squarespace. Maybe Wix felt easy at the time. But now, things are breaking. Orders aren’t flowing smoothly. The site is slow. Your SEO is underwhelming. Updating plugins feels like Russian roulette. And the worst part? You’re doing all this just to stay afloat—not grow.
That’s when Shopify enters the picture.
We’ve Been in the Kitchen With Brands
Our clients are busy building great brands, fulfilling orders, and scaling distribution. You don’t have time to play part-time developer—or chase down why your homepage is glitching again after a plugin update.
We’ve seen firsthand how platforms like WooCommerce become security headaches. How BigCommerce can feel rigid and require developer help for basic changes. How custom sites can become money pits when the original developer disappears.
Or how Wix and Squarespace—while beautiful—just aren’t built for serious e-commerce logistics like multi-warehouse inventory, wholesale support, or advanced checkout optimization. Shopify fixes all of that. It’s not just “easier.” It’s better for business.
Shopify = Faster Growth, Fewer Headaches
Let’s talk numbers. Shopify’s checkout consistently converts higher—up to 36% better than platforms like WooCommerce, Squarespace, and Wix. And that means more of your traffic actually turns into orders.
Speed? Shopify sites load fast out of the box. That matters when someone clicks over from your Instagram ad to buy that new truffle hot sauce or vegan cookie variety pack. Slow sites lose sales. Period.
Security? Shopify is PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant. You get fraud protection, SSL, and global uptime without patching anything. Ever. While other platforms require constant maintenance just to stay safe, Shopify gives you peace of mind baked in.
“But Isn’t Migrating to Shopify a Nightmare?”
We get this question a lot. And we get it—re-platforming sounds like a beast. But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be.
We’ve migrated brands in under 30 days—without breaking their SEO, losing sales, or driving the team crazy. We handle the heavy lifting: product data, design, SEO redirects, and all the nitty-gritty behind the scenes. You don’t have to rebuild your brand from scratch—we enhance it.
And with Shopify’s simple backend, your team can be trained and running confidently within days. No more chasing developers for every site tweak. No more wondering why your product pages aren’t loading.
