Illustrative workflow, not a live project

Why merchants move

Ready to build your next stage on Shopify?

If your current setup makes merchandising, new features or connected operations harder than they need to be, a move is a chance to rethink the store around your business. Every benefit depends on what your business actually needs.
01

Refresh your storefront

Plan navigation, product presentation and the mobile buying journey around how your customers discover and buy.

02

Give your team a suitable editing workflow

Editable templates and content sections for the campaigns, collections and pages you update regularly.

03

Connect the tools your business needs

We assess inventory, fulfillment, marketing and reporting connections rather than carry over a setup that no longer fits.

04

Review the whole setup and its cost

Compare the proposed Shopify plan, apps, theme and payment costs with your current Ecwid and website arrangement.

Ecwid is a capable hosted platform, and not every Ecwid store needs to move. It already offers mobile layouts, SEO settings, product variations and integrations. If your current setup fits how you sell, we’ll say so in the review. When a move does make sense, we show what changes, what it costs and who looks after each part.

Your website strategy

What happens to the website your Ecwid store lives in?

Ecwid can run as an Instant Site, sit inside another website, or sell in several places from the same store. So the first decision isn’t how to move the products. It’s what happens to the website, the content and the customer journey around them.

Moving an Ecwid Instant Site

We scope the storefront, information pages, navigation, images and files, plus the domain connection and existing links. The Instant Site design is rebuilt in Shopify; it doesn’t install as a Shopify theme.

Moving the whole surrounding website

If Ecwid sits inside WordPress, Wix or another platform, its pages, blog posts, forms, media, navigation and design belong to that platform. We scope them separately, because an Ecwid catalog export doesn’t include the rest of the website.

Keeping the surrounding website

Where it suits you, the content site stays and connects to Shopify commerce. We assess navigation, store location and routing, product links, checkout, analytics, required features and ongoing ownership and costs.

Where your Ecwid store may appearWe check each one
  • Ecwid Instant Site
  • WordPress website
  • Wix website
  • Another website or CMS
  • Other Ecwid embeds
  • Buy buttons
  • Product links
  • Partner-site placements
  • Campaign links
  • Social catalogs

Why a catalog export isn’t the whole website

  • The Ecwid catalog holds products, options, customers and orders
  • Pages, blog posts and forms may live in the surrounding website, not in Ecwid
  • Every selling location needs an update or retirement plan, or customers reach an old cart
  • A linked Shopify store, an embedded selling option and a full Shopify website are different approaches
We agree the website destination before the data transfer starts.

Keeping a website doesn’t mean swapping the Ecwid widget for an identical Shopify one. A Shopify Buy Button or linked store has its own features and limits, so we review it against your requirements. We confirm any same-domain or routing arrangement only after checking feasibility.

Source store review

Start with the store, website and channels you actually have

Before we quote, we look at how your Ecwid store is set up and what depends on it. The review is free and explained in business terms.

Your Ecwid account & exports

Your plan, the catalog, customer and order exports available on your account, and which fields they actually contain. Ecwid by Lightspeed is reviewed on its own terms; other Lightspeed products are separate systems.

Catalog & product choices

Products, categories, options, variations, customer input fields, images, files and identifiers, and how each relationship should work in Shopify.

Customers, orders & subscribers

Customer records, addresses, order history, open orders and marketing consent. A customer isn’t automatically an opted-in subscriber.

Website, channels & connections

The surrounding website, other embeds and buy links, Google and social catalogs, POS, inventory, apps and tracking, so we know what must keep working.

Account access and exports are arranged through a secure, private onboarding channel after the review, never through the enquiry form.

Free store review & quote

Get a free Ecwid store review and migration quote

Send us your store and website address and the features you rely on. We look at your Ecwid setup, catalog, website, channels and important links, then explain what moves, what gets rebuilt and what the project will cost.

  • What moves to Shopify, and how
  • A plan for the website around your store
  • A quote and proposed timeline

No exports or logins needed to start. We tell you what we need and arrange secure access later.

Product options & variations

Move the product choices—not just the product names

Ecwid separates product options, customer input fields and stock-tracked variations. They do different jobs, so they shouldn’t all become the same Shopify structure. We agree the right setup for each one, using Shopify features, a suitable app or scoped development.
  • Stock-tracked variationUsually a Shopify variant with its own SKU, price, weight, image and stock
  • Option without its own stockA variant or an option setup, agreed product by product
  • Paid extra or price modifierAn add-on, options app or custom work
  • Text or date inputA personalization field or options app, not a variant
  • File uploadA suitable app or custom work, with fulfillment instructions
  • Required selectionEnforced by the product setup or an options app

Then we test

  • Sellable combinations & SKUs
  • Prices, extras & totals
  • Variant stock deduction
  • Variation images
  • Required choices
  • Instructions on the order

Not every requirement works natively in Shopify. We confirm the route for each one before it goes into your proposal.

Shopify variants (Color)
Natural$32.00
Black$32.00
Navy TB-NVY$32.00

The monogram becomes a personalization field and gift wrap + $4.00 a paid add-on, not variants

Acceptance test: a customer picks a stocked color, adds gift wrap and enters a monogram. We check the total, the stock deduction and the order instructions.

Your Ecwid exports are a starting point, not a Shopify import file

Ecwid documents catalog, customer and order exports, which is a good start. Its catalog file uses different record types with relationships between them, so it needs deliberate mapping rather than a column rename. We check:

  • Product, option & variation records
  • Source IDs versus SKUs
  • Fields on your actual account
  • App data, assessed separately
  • The surrounding website, assessed separately

We validate a sample of records before processing the full dataset, then choose suitable tools, exports or authorized API methods.

What we migrate

What can we migrate from Ecwid to Shopify?

We select an appropriate method, transform the agreed records and validate their relationships. Your written proposal confirms the accessible data, the feature scope and any known limitations.

SEO metadata & existing linksAgreed metadata and an old-to-new URL plan.Actual hostnames, clean and legacy URLs, internal links and destination control.
Existing redirectsTested Shopify redirects, where Shopify serves the address.Redirect history, query and fragment links, and provider-owned addresses.
Gift cards & store creditA reconciled, redeemable solution, as agreed.Unused value, ownership, redemption rules and POS dependencies. An export alone doesn’t create balances.
Discounts & customer pricingShopify discounts, settings or a suitable app.The actual behavior, not just labels or group names, and any plan requirements.
Feeds, POS & connected toolsSupported connectors, or integration work scoped separately.Source of truth, product identifiers and imports that could trigger emails or fulfillment.

No standard CSV is a complete working-store backup. Existing passwords, saved payment credentials and every app’s data aren’t assumed to transfer, and a successful product import doesn’t mean the whole store has moved.

Customers, history & accounts

Handle the records your customers trust with care

We move what your data and the chosen method support, and we’re clear about the rest before you approve the scope.

Historical orders

For the agreed date range, we check line items, product choices, customer matching, dates, statuses and totals. Imported history is a record; it doesn’t re-run old payments.

Customer accounts

Existing passwords aren’t migrated. We plan the transition around the Shopify account setup you choose, which may use email sign-in codes, then test sign-in and order history.

Contacts & consent

Buyers and opted-in subscribers stay distinct. We map the consent information available; a purchase alone doesn’t subscribe anyone.

Notifications & open orders

Before importing history, we review notifications and connected automations, so no unintended emails, fulfillment actions or marketing flows are triggered. Open orders get their own plan for fulfillment, refunds and support.

Functionality beyond the data

Transfer the records. Recreate the features your business depends on.

Moving data and keeping things working are different jobs. Ecwid layouts, apps and settings don’t install on Shopify, so the migration runs as two connected workstreams, planned together.
Workstream 1 · Transfer

Prepare and transfer selected data

Cleaned, matched and moved with a suitable method, subject to access and the agreed scope.

  • SubscriptionsRecurring billingCompatible apps and a continuity plan. We assess payment-provider compatibility, customer authorization, active obligations and the communication needed. Historical records don’t transfer saved payment credentials or guarantee uninterrupted billing.
  • Digital productsFiles & accessA separate delivery plan: original files, download access, delivery and existing customer entitlements. A migrated product record doesn’t recreate download fulfillment.
  • Bookings & servicesDates & capacitySuitable destination tools, with dates, capacity, availability, existing bookings and staff workflow checked.
  • Gift cards & store creditOutstanding valueReconciled balances: unused value, ownership, redemption rules, POS dependencies and customer communication. Exporting gift-card information doesn’t create redeemable Shopify balances.
  • Pickup & local deliveryLocations & zonesA suitable Shopify fulfillment setup, with locations, delivery zones, dates and any capacity rules checked against how you fulfill orders today.
  • Discounts & customer pricingRules & groupsShopify discounts, settings or a suitable app, based on actual behavior rather than labels. We check current Shopify capabilities; not every wholesale need requires Shopify Plus.

Using Lightspeed or another POS? That’s its own decision.

Migrating Ecwid doesn’t automatically migrate your POS, and an existing connector isn’t assumed to work unchanged with Shopify. We review:

  • Exact POS product & version
  • Current integration
  • Stock source of truth
  • Product & variant matching
  • Online & in-store orders
  • Fulfillment
  • Gift-card dependencies

We test the agreed destination connection and explain any separate implementation scope.

SEO & existing links

Plan the old links before switching the store

Ecwid URL patterns vary with the Instant Site generation, the external website, the integration setup, clean-URL settings and older embeds. So we inventory your real links instead of assuming one pattern.
  • Review existing domains, subdomains and the links that are actually indexed
  • Map important product, category and content links to relevant Shopify pages
  • Check redirects already in place, plus campaign and external links
  • Carry over useful metadata and internal links, then check sitemaps and indexing controls after launch

Two links that need extra care

  • Older hash (#!) links
  • Ecwid-provided addresses

A URL fragment isn’t an ordinary server path, and browser-side handling isn’t the same as a server-side 301. We can’t control a provider-owned address after cancellation. We agree a feasible approach and document the limits first.

We don’t send every old link to the homepage. Rankings and traffic can change after a migration; we reduce the avoidable risks, but nobody can honestly guarantee unchanged rankings, zero traffic loss or an automatic SEO improvement.

Ecwid-provided addressyourstore.company.siteLimitedControl may end at cancellation

Example mapping only. Your store’s patterns depend on its setup; we inventory the actual links and test each type.

Sales channels, feeds & tracking

Your feeds, ads and stock connections need a launch plan too

Moving the storefront doesn’t automatically reconnect the services that sell or report on your products. Channel setup and reconnection are stated in your scope.

Google & social catalogs

Account access, product identifiers, landing-page changes, the selected feed connection and diagnostics. We avoid leaving old and new feeds active at the same time.

Inventory & fulfillment

The source of truth, order routing, product matching, cut-off and stock updates. We test that new orders reach the right place and reduce the right stock.

Analytics & ads

Agreed events, pixels, consent handling and checkout tracking, then test purchases and a check for duplicate reporting.

Old embeds & buy links

We update or remove the agreed Ecwid selling widgets and check campaign destinations, so new orders don’t go through an old cart by accident.

Product identifiers, ad history and audience matching aren’t guaranteed to stay unchanged, and a migration doesn’t guarantee approval by Google, Meta or any other platform.

Storefront & a full-service agency

One team for the migration and the store you want to build

Choose a new Shopify theme, a customized theme or a recreation of agreed elements of your current design. We define the essential layouts and behavior before the build.
Option 1

Set up a new Shopify theme

We choose and configure a theme around your brand, catalog and customer journey.

Option 2

Customize a Shopify theme

We adapt templates, product layouts and navigation to how you sell.

Option 3

Recreate agreed elements of your look

Keep what your customers know. We agree the pages and details that matter and rebuild them for Shopify.

Ecwid widgets, Instant Site layouts and another platform’s theme don’t automatically become a Shopify theme; they’re rebuilt. We don’t promise a pixel-identical copy by default, and complex functionality is scoped explicitly.

Migration is quoted on its own. Redesign, app development and ongoing marketing are added only if you want them, each with its own scope and price.

Keep selling on Ecwid while we prepare Shopify

We build Shopify separately and coordinate the switch in stages. This is a planned migration, not permanent automatic two-way syncing, and we don’t promise zero downtime or zero errors.
1

Review and agree

We identify Ecwid, the surrounding website, connected systems and business requirements, then agree the scope and costs.

2

Prepare, build and test

We validate representative records and complex products, and build Shopify separately while Ecwid continues trading.

3

Refresh and switch

We run the final update of selected orders, customers, prices and stock, then make the agreed website, domain, channel and embed changes.

4

Reconcile and support

We check late orders, remaining embeds, old links and agreed integrations. Even one late order through an old embed is accounted for.

Your catalog during the migration

Product changes need coordinating, just like orders.

  • We agree a catalog freeze or a simple change log, a cut-off and the source of truth.
  • Prices, stock and orders follow the agreed final-update plan, so you keep selling.
  • New products, deletions and option changes can add work or another import. We tell you upfront if that affects cost or timing.
  • Any temporary checkout restrictions are agreed, timed and documented.
Domain, email & cancellation

Switch the store without losing the services around it

Your existing domain can generally be used with the new setup. Before anything is cancelled, we review what still depends on Ecwid and on the website around it.

We review

  • Where the website will run
  • Where email is hosted
  • DNS records
  • Retained website hosting
  • Media & file links
  • Exports & historical access

Keep your domain

Domain registration doesn’t normally need to move just because the store platform changes. We plan the DNS changes around where the website and store will run.

Keep your email working

Shopify hosts the store, not email inboxes. Mail and DNS records are reviewed separately before anything changes.

Keep records and access for now

Retain the agreed exports, media and historical records until the final-order and dependency checks are complete.

Don’t cancel Ecwid the moment Shopify launches. First check remaining selling embeds, late transactions, active subscriptions, gift-card value, exports, media and connected services. If you keep the surrounding website, its hosting may still be needed.

Costs & responsibilities

Compare the complete cost of running the store

Both platforms are hosted, but the full cost also depends on the website around the store, apps and payments. We compare your actual setup with the proposed Shopify setup, rather than promising automatic savings.
Your current setup

The proposed setup

Shopify

  • The Shopify plan your requirements need
  • Payment processing and any third-party transaction fees
  • Apps for the features you keep
  • Theme, development and agency work
  • Any website services you retain

Shopify isn’t always cheaper. You see both sides before you decide.

Plan the payment setup

Your current payment provider and customers’ saved card details don’t move as ordinary customer fields. The Shopify provider is set up separately, so we check:

  • Your country, region and business eligibility
  • The payment methods your customers need
  • Provider compatibility, approval and applicable fees
  • Subscriptions that need a continuity plan
  • Access to refunds and historical payment records

We can’t guarantee the same provider or rates on Shopify.

Choosing the right kind of help

Choose the help your migration needs

A simple catalog on an Instant Site may suit a tool-assisted transfer. A store with complex product choices, a surrounding website or several channels usually needs broader planning.

Migration tools can help

Ecwid exports and third-party migration services can move common records, and some providers offer human support and testing. Where a tool suits your store, we can use it as part of the project. Our value is the coordinated scope around it: the website, product behavior, features, channels and launch.

  • Ecwid exports
  • Third-party migration tools
  • Authorized API methods

Platform migration

Web commerce pros created a really lovely design for our website. They also changed the layout for our images and updated/resized images so that the site is overall much more attractive. We have been receiving a lot of positive feedback from customers on the ease of use and the overall look of our site. In addition, we are very grateful to Roy for coming up with a creative solution for allowing customers to easily create their own quotes, which has been very helpful to both our operations and our customers.

FAQ

Ecwid to Shopify migration questions, answered

Straight answers about the move, including the parts that need extra care.

Your setup, website & costs

Yes. We review your Ecwid by Lightspeed setup, catalog, website and connected tools, then agree the accessible records and the Shopify solution. Other Lightspeed products are separate systems, so we confirm exactly what you use. The scope includes only the data and work stated in your proposal.

Yes. Instant Site is a single source website. An embedded store also sits inside a separate website, so we need to decide what happens to that surrounding content, design and navigation.

We can assess keeping that website and connecting it to Shopify commerce. The route depends on your requirements. A Buy Button or linked store isn’t an identical replacement for every Ecwid feature, and we confirm any routing or same-domain setup only after checking feasibility.

We can scope rebuilding the agreed website content and storefront in Shopify. Pages and blog posts outside Ecwid need access to their actual source; they aren’t included just by importing the catalog.

We can recreate agreed design elements or build a refreshed Shopify theme. Ecwid layouts, embed styling and another platform’s templates don’t transfer directly as a Shopify theme.

We choose suitable methods for your data and requirements. Tools may assist with the transfer, and some providers include human support. Our service also covers mapping, review, the storefront, features, channels, testing and launch.

We quote after reviewing catalog complexity, website scope, data volume, features, integrations, design, validation and launch. No fixed price or duration is promised before the review. Shopify, app, theme, payment and any retained website costs are separate where they apply.
