What’s the best alternative ecommerce software to Yahoo?Most of the Yahoo merchants we talk to are fed up with poor customer service, a lack of modern features, and a lack of more modern aesthetics and design opportunities.

There are a small handful of platforms that really stand out from Yahoo Web Stores (Yahoo Small Business Stores), in a meaningful way, and without a huge increase in price. We usually recommend Shopify, for ecommerce brands with more simplistic catalogs and business operations, and BigCommerce, for ecommerce merchants with more complex catalogs, and selling needs.

Both of these platforms are comparably priced to Yahoo, much easier to use, and much better maintained. You’ll find all the latest innovations in ecommerce, including headless storefronts, Facebook and Instagram Shops, etc.

We typically will spend about an hour talking with a Yahoo merchant to validate our recommendation of one over the other. Because our experts work with multiple platforms, their recommendation is aimed at what is best for you, and not what is best for commissions from the ecommerce platforms.

Coalition can help you safely move off Yahoo Stores.

As one of the leading ecommerce SEO agencies, we’re able to address the biggest concern for many Yahoo ecommerce merchants: how do I unwind nearly a decade of SEO value on the platform without losing a lot of revenue? We’ve done dozens of migrations, for stores worth tens of millions, and can help you move to a new platform without putting your revenue at risk.

Our Yahoo Stores Migration Process

Discovery

Discovery

An expert team of marketers and developers will dive into your current ecommerce store, gaining a deep understanding of how you sell, what your customers love, and what has driven your success over your stores’ history. That will help us define exactly what needs to be done to ensure a successful migration occurs.

Evaluation and Planning

Planning and Strategy

Once we have a great understanding of what makes you sell, our team will take the information we’ve gleaned and form it into a plan based on over a decade of migration’s experience. We’ll help identify the right ecommerce software for you, the details of your data and content migration, redirect plans, website features, and more!

Testing
5

Testing and QA

Before we launch, a thorough review of our work and your requested updates is completed. We’ll make sure all the redirects from the Yahoo store are ready, ensure that all of the necessary tracking and marketing integrations are in place, and cross-browser and cross-device test the ecommerce shopping experience.

Feedback
6

Feedback

You’ll have a final opportunity for review and sign off before we go live. If you have feedback, we can address it promptly before starting into the launch phase. As the store owner, you’ll also maintain the ability to make updates after launch too!

Release
7

Launch

Finally, launch day! On a scheduled and coordinated date, we’ll change the point of your domain name to the new store and make the final tweaks needed to take it out of staging and into production use. This can have a few hours of intermittent down time but that is a rarer occurrence. Once live, our team will do another thorough QA check on everything to make sure your customers are thrilled!

Support and Maintenance

Support and Maintenance

After launch, Coalition doesn’t disappear. Many of our former Yahoo web store clients stay on with Coalition because of our awesome maintenance and marketing programs.
