OVERVIEW

About our Shopify migration service

What the work covers, who it suits and what changes after it is done.

A store migration has many moving parts. Products come with variants, images and SEO text. Customers have accounts and order history. Blog posts and pages have links pointing to them from Google and other websites. If any part is moved carelessly, customers see missing products and broken links, and search traffic drops.

Our Shopify migration service plans the move before any data is copied. We map products, variants and categories to Shopify products and collections, move customers and order history, rebuild your content pages, and create a redirect for every old URL. Shopify uses its own URL format, which makes redirects one of the most important parts of the job.

We migrate from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, OpenCart, PrestaShop and custom built stores. Your old store stays live until the new Shopify store is fully tested.

01

Planning a Shopify migration

Every product type, feature and page mapped before data moves.

A smooth Shopify migration starts with a full inventory of your current store. We list product types, variant options, custom fields, customer groups, discount rules, blog posts, pages and every app or plugin that adds a feature.

Then we decide how each item maps to Shopify. Product categories may become collections, custom fields may become metafields, and some plugin features may need a Shopify app or a small theme change.

This plan is shared with you before any data moves. It removes surprises and makes sure nothing important is left behind on the old platform.

02

Moving product data accurately

Variants, SKUs and images checked against the old store.

Products are the most important data in any Shopify migration. Shopify allows up to three variant options per product by default, so products with more complex options need careful planning, sometimes using metafields or a product options app.

We move titles, descriptions, images, prices, compare at prices, SKUs, barcodes, inventory and weights. Image file names and alt text are kept where possible, which helps image search traffic.

After import we check a sample of products against the old store, comparing prices, variants and images, and fix any mismatch before going live.

03

Redirects and SEO during a Shopify migration

Old URLs matched to Shopify's format to protect rankings.

Shopify uses fixed URL patterns like /products/, /collections/ and /pages/. Almost every URL from WooCommerce, Magento or Wix changes during a Shopify migration, which makes redirects critical.

  1. We export every old URL that receives traffic or has links pointing to it, match it to the right Shopify URL and import the redirects in bulk. Old category URLs go to matching collections, and old product URLs go to the same product on Shopify.

  2. We also move page titles and meta descriptions, set up the Shopify sitemap in Search Console and monitor crawl errors after launch, which protects the rankings your store has built.

04

After the switch

Test orders, account invites and close monitoring after launch.

Once the domain points to Shopify, we place real test orders, check payment and shipping, confirm emails are sent and watch analytics for any unusual drop in traffic or conversions.

Customers receive account invitations if you choose to send them, so they can set a new password and see their order history on the new Shopify store.

We stay involved during the first weeks after the Shopify migration to fix any issue quickly while your team settles into the new admin.

05

WooCommerce to Shopify migration

Leaving plugin updates and hosting bills behind for good.

  1. WooCommerce is one of the most common platforms we move stores from. Merchants usually switch to reduce the work of managing hosting, plugins, updates and security.

  2. In a WooCommerce to Shopify migration we map product variations to Shopify variants, convert categories to collections, move customer accounts and order history, and recreate important pages and blog posts.

  3. Features that came from WooCommerce plugins, such as product add-ons or wholesale pricing, are rebuilt with Shopify apps or theme changes, and we explain each choice before the Shopify migration starts.

06

Migrating from Wix, Squarespace and BigCommerce

Hosted builders and BigCommerce each need their own approach.

Hosted builders like Wix and Squarespace limit how much data can be exported, which makes the migration more manual. We export what the platform allows and carefully move the remaining content, such as page text and images.

BigCommerce stores usually have richer data exports, including products, customers and orders, which makes the data side of the Shopify migration more straightforward.

In every case the redirect plan matters most. Each platform uses its own URL patterns, and we map them carefully to the new Shopify URLs.

Training your team on Shopify

Daily tasks explained so the new admin feels familiar fast.

A new platform means new routines. Order processing, product updates, discounts and reports all work a little differently in Shopify.

After the Shopify migration we run a training session for your team, covering the daily tasks they will do most often, and we share short written guides they can refer to later.

Most teams find Shopify simpler than their old platform within a few days, especially once they no longer need to worry about hosting, updates or plugin conflicts.

09

Leave the headaches on the old platform

Hand the hosting, security and checkout worries to Shopify.

If you are thinking about moving, you probably know the feeling: plugin updates that break things, hosting bills that keep rising, security worries and a checkout that never quite feels reliable. Running the store has become a technical job instead of a business.

A Shopify migration hands most of that back to Shopify. Hosting, security, checkout and updates are taken care of, and your team can focus on products, customers and marketing.

The move itself is where most of the risk lies, and that is the part we handle for you, carefully and with a plan you can see from the start.

Share your current store link and platform, and we will tell you how the move would look for your business.

10

What affects the cost of a Shopify migration

Catalog size, history and design choices shape the price.

The size of the catalog is the first factor. A store with a few dozen simple products is quicker to move than one with thousands of products, many variants and complex options.

Customer and order history adds to the work, especially when it spans many years or includes custom fields that need mapping.

Features from the old platform, such as custom pricing, product configurators or loyalty programs, may need Shopify apps or custom theme work to replace them.

Design is another factor. Some merchants move to a ready-made Shopify theme, while others choose a redesign or a custom theme as part of the Shopify migration.

We explain each of these in the quote, which lets you choose what to include and plan your budget with confidence.

11

Keeping marketing running during a Shopify migration

Email flows, ad feeds and pixels reconnected at the switch.

  • Moving platforms does not mean pausing your business. During a Shopify migration we make sure your marketing keeps working, so sales continue while the new store is prepared.

  • Email marketing lists are moved or connected to the new Shopify store, and automated flows such as welcome emails and abandoned cart reminders are recreated. We check that sign up forms on the new store add subscribers correctly.

  • Ad campaigns need attention at the switch. Product feeds for Google and Meta are reconnected to Shopify, tracking pixels are installed and tested, and landing page links are updated so ads send shoppers to the right pages.

  • Social shopping channels, such as Facebook and Instagram shops, are reconnected to the new catalog, and any marketplace integrations are planned with you.

  • By handling these details, a Shopify migration becomes a step forward for your marketing, not a pause in it.
