Shopify prioritizes commerce workflows such as catalog, checkout, variants, and inventory. Assess whether its content templates, URL conventions, structured data, local landing pages, and navigation are flexible enough for the service side. Avoid building a second site unnecessarily if one domain can support both intents well. Test indexable product and service pages, canonical behavior for variants, and internal links between commerce and services. A general-purpose CMS may offer greater content flexibility but requires a separate commerce solution.
