Hi all, I’m in the final stages of acquiring a small e-commerce business and need help finding experienced technical support for the migration process. I’m looking to close here quickly.
What I Need:
• Python developer with FastAPI/Shopify API experience
• Someone who’s handled similar SaaS/e-commerce migrations
• Ideally available for 2-3 months (migration + stabilization)
• Could be contractor, part-time
My Questions:
1. Has anyone here managed a similar tech migration during an acquisition?
2. Know any reliable Python developers who specialize in e-commerce/Shopify?
3. What gotchas should I watch for in the handoff process?
4. Any recommendations for maintaining business continuity during the transition?
The current owner has been cooperative with documentation, but I want to ensure I have the right technical expertise in place before taking over operations.
Would appreciate any insights, referrals, or lessons learned from your own experiences!
The Tech Stack:
• Python/FastAPI backend with Celery workers
• PostgreSQL database
• Shopify integration (multiple stores)
• API integrations
• Some deprecated components needing updates
