Why Vercel for this
Migrating to Shopify is mostly a URL problem. Get the redirect map wrong and you lose the rankings you spent years earning, so we treat it as an SEO project that happens to involve a platform change.
Vercel is strongest at preview deployments per pull request and effortless incremental regeneration at scale. For shopify development that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: pricing at very high bandwidth favours a self-managed CDN. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.
Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions
Is Shopify suitable for India?
Yes. UPI, cards, netbanking and COD are all workable through Indian payment apps, and the major logistics aggregators have Shopify integrations. The main consideration is platform fees against your margin.
Can Shopify handle B2B pricing?
With Shopify Plus and a private app, yes, customer-specific pricing, quantity breaks and quote flows. On the standard plan it is possible but more constrained.
Will migrating hurt our SEO?
Only if the redirects are done carelessly. We map every existing URL before cutover and verify the redirects afterwards.
Alternatives for shopify development
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
