Illustrative workflow, not a live project

Only your domain is with Network Solutions? That’s a domain connection, not a full store migration. We can identify which work your setup needs. How domains and email work ↓

Why merchants move

Ready for a storefront that is easier to improve?

If everyday changes, new features or integrations are hard in your current setup, Shopify can give your next stage a different foundation. We start with the requirements your store needs to meet.
01

Refresh the shopping experience

Rework mobile layouts, navigation and product presentation around how your customers browse and buy.

02

Make merchandising more manageable

Build editable templates for the products, content and promotions your team updates regularly.

03

Connect the tools your business needs

Review suitable marketing, inventory, accounting and fulfillment connections before choosing the setup.

04

Get a clear plan for the move

Know what can be extracted, what needs rebuilding and what the new store will cost to run before you commit.

Network Solutions ecommerce is already hosted, and depending on your package it can support variations, personalization and customer price levels. So we don’t assume your store is lacking. We compare what you use today with the proposed Shopify setup, and if a move doesn’t suit your business, we’ll say so.

Know your starting point

First, we identify the store behind your Network Solutions account

Network Solutions is a provider name, not one store system. Its help documentation covers a legacy ecommerce control panel, Website Builder stores and separate domain, hosting and email services. We check which one runs your store before choosing an export method.

Existing ecommerce control panel

We review the available product, customer and order exports, plus any separate pricing, category or related records, and confirm the fields they actually return.

Website Builder or another setup

We check the particular store tools and the data they make available. Features and export options differ between products and packages.

Only the domain is registered there

A domain registered with Network Solutions can point to a store hosted elsewhere. Then the migration starts from that platform, and the domain is a connection job.

What your account may includeWe check each one
  • Ecommerce store
  • Website Builder site
  • Product exports
  • Order exports
  • Customer price levels
  • Domain registration
  • DNS settings
  • Email service
  • Hosted files & images
  • Other add-on services

Why the dashboard matters

  • Export options and fields differ between store products
  • Package conditions can affect which exports an account can use
  • Domain, email and hosting are separate services that may stay active
  • A registered domain doesn’t prove the store runs on Network Solutions
You don’t need to identify the system yourself. Start with your store URL and tell us how you manage products and orders.
Export review

An export file is the starting point. We check what it leaves out.

Before the full migration, we compare sample exports with your store and the records your team actually uses. That gives a practical scope, instead of assuming a downloaded file holds everything.
  1. 1

    Inspect

    We review real sample exports, compare their fields with what you see in your account and what staff use, and check identifiers and relationships.

  2. 2

    Identify gaps

    Product selections and personalization, order line items and customer input, customer details, prices, categories and other required records.

  3. 3

    Assess other sources

    Other available exports, authorized account tools, existing integrations or supporting records, and public catalog pages where appropriate.

  4. 4

    Agree the solution

    What imports into Shopify, what needs a separate solution, what belongs in an accessible archive and what is unavailable or excluded.

  5. 5

    Validate a sample

    Representative products, complex options, customer relationships, and historical order totals and detail, before the full dataset is processed.

Every gap gets a decision before the full migration starts.

Why we check: in a June 2025 Shopify Community discussion, an established Network Solutions merchant described exports that left out important product details and customer input. That won’t be true of every store, which is why we check yours with real samples.

We can’t recover information that isn’t available from an authorized source. Public product pages can help with visible catalog content, but not private customer records, complete order history, hidden prices or balances. We also don’t assume an API route or a package upgrade: we check your actual account first.

Free store review & quote

Send us your store URL and the features you rely on. We look at your store setup, available exports, catalog, customer pricing and important URLs, then explain what moves, what needs another solution and what the project will cost.

  • What can be extracted, and what’s missing
  • How your options and pricing will work on Shopify
  • A quote and proposed timeline

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

What we migrate

What can we move from Network Solutions to Shopify?

Your written proposal defines the records and features included, subject to source access and the agreed destination. A data record and a working business feature are different deliverables, so we plan both.

Variations & stock

Sellable combinations, prices and quantities

Personalization

Required questions, text inputs and paid extras

Categories & manufacturers

Collections, navigation and vendor data

Customers & addresses

Cleaned, matched and de-duplicated

Order history

Agreed date range, line items and totals

Images, pages & files

Media, information pages and documents

Price levels & discounts

Planned as working pricing rules

Reviews

After an access and matching check

Gift certificates & balances

Assessed before any promise

SEO details

Titles, descriptions and internal links

URLs & redirects

Mapped from your actual URL patterns

Existing passwords and saved payment details aren’t assumed to transfer. Downloads, subscriptions, credit, open orders and outstanding balances each need an explicit decision. Every row depends on source access and the agreed scope.

Variations, personalization & pricing

Keep the choices and prices your customers expect

Network Solutions’ own documentation treats stocked variations and personalization as different things. They often need different Shopify solutions too, so we don’t turn every choice into a variant. For each choice, we check whether it:
  • Identifies a sellable itemUsually a Shopify variant with its own SKU and price
  • Changes stockTracked on the variant, so the right quantity goes down
  • Collects customer instructionsA product field or options app, not a variant
  • Adds a chargeA paid add-on, an options app or custom work
  • Must be answered before purchaseEnforced by the product setup and tested
  • Appears on the orderVisible to the staff who fulfill it

Then we test

  • Representative combinations
  • Final prices
  • Stock deduction
  • Required answers
  • Customer price levels
  • Order instructions

We validate how products behave in the cart and on the order, not only whether the record counts match.

The engraving “MAX” appears on the order for the team who fulfills it

A customer with a special price chooses a variation and adds paid personalization. We check the price, stock deduction and order instructions.

Customer price levels and business rules

Customer pricing is more than a customer tag. We review who gets which price, product-level differences, purchase permissions, required sign-in and how it all works with discounts. Shopify’s B2B features now reach beyond Shopify Plus, but some depend on the plan, so we choose the plan, apps or development from your actual requirements. We also review:

  • Shipping
  • Tax setup
  • Payment methods
  • Inventory & accounting
  • Fulfillment

We test representative orders through the proposed setup before launch.

Balances, downloads and recurring billing need decisions

A historical import doesn’t recreate financial obligations or working features. We assess each one separately:

  • Gift certificate balances
  • Store credit
  • Downloads
  • Subscriptions & recurring billing
  • Open orders

Each gets an agreed solution, or a clear exclusion, before it goes into your proposal.

Order history & customer accounts

Years of history need more than a record count

We check what’s available, what’s complete and how it connects, then agree what is imported and what goes into an accessible archive.

Historical orders

Available dates, archived or status-filtered records, line items, totals, product choices and customer-entered instructions. Where some history can’t practically be imported, we agree an accessible archive.

Open orders

We decide which system and team handle fulfillment, refunds and customer service for each open order during the transition.

No surprise emails

Before importing history, we review notifications and connected automations, so old orders don’t trigger new-order messages, marketing flows or fulfillment actions.

Customer accounts

Existing passwords aren’t assumed to transfer. Customer messaging matches the Shopify account setup you choose, which may use email sign-in codes. Customer details are checked for duplicates, addresses and available consent.

Full-service agency

A migration team that can also build your Shopify store

Set up a suitable theme, customize it for your brand or recreate agreed elements of your current design. Then add custom functionality, SEO and marketing when you need them.
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 the design details your customers know. We agree the pages and elements that matter and rebuild them for Shopify.

Network Solutions templates don’t install as Shopify themes, so recreating a design is a scoped rebuild, not a template-file transfer. Complex functionality is scoped explicitly.

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

SEO, images & files

Plan for old links, useful content and the images customers see

We map important existing pages to relevant Shopify destinations and check the media they depend on. Shopify’s redirects have their own limits, so we inspect your actual URL patterns and test the approach before relying on it.
  • Identify important existing URLs and content
  • Map each one to the most relevant Shopify destination
  • Preserve useful content and agreed metadata, and review internal links
  • Test the redirect approach, with query-based URLs and other exceptions checked individually
  • After launch, check indexing controls, sitemap access and agreed tracking, then monitor issues

Images & files we check

  • Main product images
  • Additional images
  • Images inside pages
  • Documents & downloads
  • Links to old services
  • Embedded media

A product page that still loads files from a cancelled account isn’t finished.

We don’t send every old link to the homepage, and a JavaScript redirect on a 404 page isn’t a server-side 301. Rankings can change after any migration; we reduce the avoidable risks, and nobody can honestly guarantee unchanged results.

No orders left behind

Keep your current store open while we prepare Shopify

We build your Shopify store separately and bring customers, orders and stock across in stages, so orders that reach your current store during the project aren’t left behind.
1

Build separately

We prepare the agreed records and validate Shopify while your current store stays live and keeps selling.

2

Refresh changing records

Just before launch, we bring across the agreed new orders, customers, prices and stock using a supported method.

3

Switch at a defined cut-off

We agree the cut-off and which store is the source of truth, connect the domain and run the launch checks.

4

Reconcile late activity

We check for orders or updates that still reached the old store, even if there’s only one, and reconcile the agreed records.

Your catalog during the migration

Product changes need coordinating, just like orders.

  • We agree a catalog freeze or a simple change log for the build.
  • Prices, stock and orders follow the agreed update plan, so you keep selling.
  • New or deleted products and changed options can add work or another import. We tell you upfront if that affects the cost or timing.
  • This is a planned launch that reduces disruption, not ongoing two-way syncing or a zero-downtime promise.
Domain & email

Move your store. Keep control of your domain and email.

Domain registration, DNS, storefront hosting and email are separate services. Your domain can generally stay registered with Network Solutions while your store runs on Shopify.

Separate services we review

  • Domain registration
  • DNS records
  • Storefront hosting
  • Email service
  • Other connected services
  • Ownership & renewals

Connect the domain, no transfer needed

Connecting your domain to Shopify through DNS doesn’t normally require transferring the registration. A registrar transfer is a separate choice.

Protect your email

Shopify hosts your store, not your inboxes. We protect the email-related DNS records, existing inbox services and other connected services when the domain is connected.

Keep the access you still need

Keep exports, backups, source files and historical access until the launch reconciliation is complete.

Don’t cancel your whole Network Solutions account after launch: it may still provide your domain, email or other services. We choose the right connection method for your setup after reviewing it, and we don’t change nameservers without checking what depends on them.

Choosing the right kind of help

Choose the right help for the whole move

A migration tool may suit a straightforward dataset. Our agency service coordinates the agreed source review, data preparation, storefront, business features, testing, launch and support.

Migration tools can help

A suitable tool can assist with straightforward data transfer, and some providers also offer human support. Where a tool suits your store, we can use it as part of the project. What no import software can do is supply private records that are missing from the available source, which is why discovery comes first.

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

Network Solutions to Shopify migration questions, answered

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

Getting started

Yes, after we review the actual store system, the available records and your business requirements. That gives a realistic migration scope and shows which features need a separate solution.

If your store runs on Network Solutions ecommerce, it’s a store migration. If only the domain is registered there, you may just need a domain connection; the data migration depends on where your store actually runs.

Network Solutions supports different store products and interfaces, and their export options and data structures can differ. We check your actual setup rather than assume one migration method fits every store.

We compare sample files with the information you need and assess other authorized sources. We explain the gaps and alternatives before agreeing the full migration. Data that isn’t accessible can’t be guaranteed recoverable.

Public pages can help with visible catalog information. They don’t provide private customer records, complete order history, hidden prices or account balances, which need authorized source access.

Not automatically. We check your current export access and practical alternatives before recommending any package change. Provider documentation covers different packages, so one instruction may not apply to your store.

Your store URL, approximate product count, important features and goals. We arrange any deeper access securely after the first review, never through passwords or database uploads on a public form.
