Moving your Network Solutions store to Shopify? We'll help you bring its catalog, customer data, and store setup along.
We'll review your product variations, customer price levels, and available order data before planning the migration. If your store uses different pricing for different customer groups, we'll also work out how to recreate those rules in Shopify.

Every move includes 60 days of free post-launch migration support from the team that did the work.

Illustrative workflow, not a live project
Is Network Solutions only your domain registrar? Then what you need is a domain connection, and a full store migration is off the table. We’ll work out which jobs your setup really calls for. How domains and email work ↓
Attention: 6 items need attention.
Did your renewal bill come in higher than the price you signed up at?
Several reviewers say the eCommerce plan’s starting price sits well below what it costs at renewal, and a few describe the renewal bill as a shock.
Pull up your current renewal rate, your auto-renew settings and any domain or email add-ons before you compare costs. Experiences vary, and plenty of the complaints are about billing rather than the store software.
Is your catalog outgrowing the store tools?
Reviewers often call the ecommerce tools fine for a small shop but thinner than dedicated ecommerce platforms once the catalog gets big or the brand starts growing.
A small range may never hit that wall. If you want more product options, discount rules or custom checkout logic, write them down first and check what each platform handles natively or through apps.
Does changing the look of your store feel like a chore?
Reviewers describe the templates as dated or stiffer than some alternatives, and one says changing templates means rebuilding the site.
Your design doesn’t come along in a move anyway, so a migration is a natural time to rebuild the look. Decide which pages and layouts matter most before you start.
Are extras such as SEO tools inflating your monthly bill?
One review says features like the SEO optimizer and mobile builder cost extra, and another reports extra fees on some integrations.
Add up everything you pay beyond the base plan. Then price the same features elsewhere, including any apps you’d need to install.
Do you sell on marketplaces besides your own site?
One review reports that the Amazon, eBay and Etsy integrations sit on premium plans only, and plan features and prices can change.
If selling across channels matters to you, confirm which plan you need today and how inventory syncs. A replacement setup may need an app or its own channel connection too.
Has a support or billing problem made you want out?
Public reviews of the company are mixed. Some customers praise knowledgeable staff, and others describe long waits, surprise renewals or billing disputes.
Review sites tend to collect the unhappy voices, so weigh your own history. Keep your domain, email and billing apart from the store move so nothing lapses.
Is your store slower than you’d like?
Some reviewers report below-average load times in their own tests, though methods differ and your store may not match their results.
Measure your own pages before you decide. Images, apps and theme choices drive speed as much as the platform does.
Pet supplies
Advance Pet Mart started on WooCommerce, but plugin and hosting problems kept getting in the way. We moved the store to Shopify, and they are very happy with the move. We also worked with them on design, SEO, AI SEO and marketing.

Where each item lands in Shopify and what we check before launch.
| Network Solutions | Where it goes in Shopify | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| Products & identifiers | Products, variants and fitting custom fields. | Names, descriptions, SKUs, identifiers, prices, weights, custom details and text formatting. |
| Variations | Agreed variants, or another configuration that fits. | Sellable combinations, the prices tied to them, stock, which choices are on or off, and the right product relationships. |
| Personalization | Product fields, an options app or custom work, with the answers showing on the order. | Required questions, text fields, paid extras, restrictions and what gets passed along to whoever fulfills the order. |
| Categories & manufacturers | Collections, menus, vendor records or agreed fields. | Which products sit where, the hierarchy and the navigation. |
| Images, content & files | Shopify’s media library, files and pages. | Main and extra images, info pages, images embedded in pages, documents, and links that still lean on old services. |
| Network Solutions | Where it goes in Shopify | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| Customers & addresses | Agreed customer records and groupings. | Duplicates, any consent information available and how customers are grouped. Account access gets its own plan. |
| Historical orders | Order history brought in by a suitable method, inside an agreed date range. | Line items, customer matching, dates, totals, status mapping, plus product choices and customer input where they exist. |
| Open orders | A transition plan for each one, since a record alone won’t get an order fulfilled. | Which system and which team handle fulfillment, refunds and customer service. |
| Reviews | A compatible review app, once we’ve assessed it. | Whether we can reach the source, which fields exist and how reviews match products. |
| Network Solutions | Where it goes in Shopify | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| Customer price levels | Native Shopify settings, an app or custom work, depending on your plan. | Who gets which price, differences from product to product, who may buy and whether they must sign in. |
| Discounts | Rebuilt as Shopify discounts wherever Shopify supports it. | How each rule behaves and how it stacks with customer pricing. |
| Gift certificates & balances | A compatible solution when one is feasible. | Outstanding balances, redemption and who honors them. Importing history won’t bring them back. |
| Downloads & recurring billing | Its own delivery or continuity plan. | File access, ongoing customer access, the payment provider and what customers have to do. |
| Custom records | Agreed fields, an archive or leaving them out. | What the business still needs and where your staff will look for it. |
| Network Solutions | Where it goes in Shopify | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| SEO details & old URLs | Agreed metadata and a map from old URLs to new ones. | Your real URL patterns, query-based links and the limits on Shopify redirects. |
| Design & templates | A Shopify theme, either new, customized or a recreation of agreed elements. | Mobile layouts, navigation and editable sections. Old templates can’t be installed directly. |
| Payments, shipping & tax | Supported providers, with settings you approve. | Eligibility, delivery rules, tax setup and test checkouts. Billing agreements don’t move on their own. |
| Connected tools | Supported connectors, or integration work quoted on its own. | Links to inventory, accounting, fulfillment and marketing tools, and which direction data travels. |
Saved passwords and stored payment details aren’t assumed to transfer. Downloads, subscriptions, store credit, open orders and unpaid balances each need a decision from you. Every row depends on source access and the agreed scope.

Send your store URL and tell us which features you depend on. We go through your setup, the exports you can get, your catalog, customer pricing and key URLs. Then we explain what moves, what needs a different solution and what the project costs.
You don’t need exports or logins to begin. We’ll tell you what we need and set up secure access afterward.
We go through the product, customer and order exports you can get, plus any separate pricing, category or related records, and confirm which fields they really return.
We look at the specific store tools and the data they expose. Export options and features vary between products and packages.
A domain registered with Network Solutions can point at a store hosted somewhere else. In that case the migration begins with that other platform, and the domain is a connection job.
We study real sample exports, compare their fields with your account and with what your staff use, and check identifiers and how records relate.
We look for missing product choices and personalization, order line items and customer input, customer details, prices, categories and other records you need.
We try other exports, authorized account tools, existing integrations and supporting records, and public catalog pages when they help.
Together we decide what imports into Shopify, what needs its own solution, what goes into an accessible archive and what can’t be had or gets left out.
Before we process the full dataset we check typical products, complex options, customer relationships and the totals and detail of past orders.
| Field | In the sample | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Product name, SKU & price | Present | Import |
| Variation stock | Present | Map to variants |
| Personalization options | Partly | Rebuild & test |
| Customer input on past orders | Not found | Check sources or archive |
| Customer price levels | Separate | Rebuild the rule |
| Order line items & totals | Present | Validate a sample |
Why we look so closely. In a June 2025 Shopify Community discussion, an established Network Solutions merchant said their exports dropped important product details and customer input. Your store may be fine, and real samples are how we find out.
We can’t recover information that no authorized source provides. Public product pages can fill in visible catalog content, though they can’t supply private customer records, complete order history, hidden prices or balances. We also won’t assume an API route or a package upgrade exists until we’ve looked at your actual account.
We look at available dates, archived or status-filtered records, line items, totals, product choices and instructions customers typed in. If some history can’t practically be imported, we agree on an accessible archive.
During the transition, each open order needs a clear owner. We decide which system and which team handle fulfillment, refunds and customer service.
Before history goes in, we go through notifications and connected automations. Old orders shouldn’t trigger new-order messages, marketing flows or fulfillment actions.
We don’t assume existing passwords will transfer. Customer messaging follows the Shopify account setup you choose, which may use email sign-in codes. We check customer details for duplicates, addresses and any consent on file.
We pick a theme and configure it around your brand, your catalog and the way customers shop.
We reshape templates, product layouts and navigation to match how you sell.
Hold on to the design details your customers recognize. We agree which pages and elements matter, then rebuild them for Shopify.
Network Solutions templates can’t be installed as Shopify themes, so recreating a design is a scoped rebuild instead of a file transfer. We scope complex functionality explicitly.
Product templates, navigation and editable content sections built for your business.
Explore theme & design →Custom functionality and integrations for requirements that native features and suitable apps can’t cover.
Explore app development →The agreed migration SEO checks at launch, with ongoing optimization offered as its own service.
Explore Shopify SEO →Google Ads, Meta Ads, email and other fitting channels that help the new store grow after launch.
Explore ecommerce marketing →We quote the migration by itself. Custom development and ongoing marketing come in only if you ask for them, each with its own scope and price.
A product page still pulling files from a cancelled account is unfinished work.
Old links won’t all land on the homepage, and a JavaScript redirect sitting on a 404 page doesn’t count as a server-side 301. Rankings can shift after any migration. We cut the avoidable risks, and no one can honestly promise unchanged results.
Example mapping. We inventory your store’s real URL patterns and check query-based links, files and images one at a time.
Pointing your domain at Shopify through DNS doesn’t normally require moving the registration. Transferring to a different registrar is a separate decision.
Shopify hosts your store, and your inboxes live elsewhere. When we connect the domain, we protect the email-related DNS records, your existing inbox services and other connected services.
Hang on to exports, backups, source files and historical access until launch reconciliation wraps up.
Hold off on cancelling your whole Network Solutions account after launch, since it may still provide your domain, email or other services. We pick the connection method after reviewing your setup, and we never change nameservers before checking what depends on them.
The right tool can do the heavy lifting on a simple data transfer, and some providers add human support. If a tool fits your store, we can use it inside the project. No import software can invent private records the source doesn’t hold, and that is why discovery comes first.
| Your question | Self-service migration tool | Migration managed by WEP |
|---|---|---|
| Who defines the scope? | You pick from the records and options the tool offers. | We review your store and exports, then write down what moves, what gets rebuilt and who does which job. |
| What if the export is missing data? | The tool works with whatever the source hands over. | We find the gaps first, look at other authorized sources and agree on an import, an archive or an exclusion. |
| How are options and price levels handled? | Mapped into the structure the tool supports, then checked by your team. | We agree the setup, then test prices, stock and order instructions. |
| Who builds the storefront? | That falls to you, a theme or another developer. | Our team builds it, as a new theme, a customized theme or recreated design elements. |
| Who runs the launch? | Your team coordinates the final updates, domain, email records, redirects and checks. | We handle the final update, domain connection, redirects and catch-up checks, then give you 60 days of free support. |
The online store migration was seamless without having 0 downtime. The staff is properly trained, well communicated and proactive Highly recommended
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.
Arfat and team were proficient with BigCommerce Page Builder and Shogun to create and modify pages. We successfully completed the migration with their assistance and were happy with their work. We would hire again soon for our next project.
We settle which records and features move, how the design is handled, who does what and where the known limits are.

These costs sit outside our migration fee, and your proposal lists them so none catches you off guard.
Your Network Solutions store keeps selling the whole time. Orders and customers move in stages, starting with an initial migration, then a pre-launch update, a coordinated launch and a catch-up check for any order that still reached Network Solutions around the switch. During the build we agree on a catalog freeze or a change log, and prices and stock follow the agreed synchronization plan.
Only if what you pay now no longer fits what you need over the next year or two. Add up renewals and add-ons first. If the store works and the costs make sense, staying may be fine. We review your setup for free and tell you plainly what we find.
That depends on your catalog size, how much design work you want and how many orders come along. You get a timeline after the free store review, with no fixed number promised up front.
Hold on to admin access for your store, domain and email accounts. Export copies of your products, orders and customers, and jot down the pages, apps and integrations you depend on. We walk you through whatever else comes up.
Yes, the store control panel has an Import/Export area covering products, orders, customers, categories and more, according to Network Solutions’ documentation. Files come as CSV, and some types also offer XML. Exported files are only held temporarily, so download them promptly.
Only exported, according to the help documentation. For a move to Shopify that hardly matters, because Shopify has its own customer import, and we confirm field mapping during the review.
Often, yes, though not through a plain CSV file. Shopify says historical orders need a migration app or API. We can often bring history over that way, but how complete it ends up depends on what your export contains. We confirm the details in the free store review.
Mostly. Products with options can usually be mapped to Shopify variants, though the match isn’t always one to one. Shopify puts its own limits on options, so we check your catalog early and tell you what needs reshaping.
Possibly. Customer records can be imported, but whether passwords can move depends on what the export includes and which tool is used. Many migrations ask customers to choose a new password at first login. We settle the approach for your store during the review.
Your customer email addresses can be exported and imported, and marketing consent should move over accurately. Confirm you have a lawful basis to keep emailing people. Where the export includes consent fields, we help map them.
Usually they stay put, and you point the domain at the new store. Transferring the registration is optional and a separate step. Keep an eye on renewals so none lapse during the move.
Not directly. Your Network Solutions design can’t be transferred as is, so the storefront gets rebuilt on a Shopify theme. We can match your branding closely, or you can use the move to refresh the look.
Your old pages get 301 redirects to the new ones before launch, because Shopify uses its own URL patterns. Rankings can shift for a while after any migration, and we can’t promise they stay unchanged.
Yes. The old store stays live while we build and test the new one separately, and we schedule the switch for a quiet time. A short interruption around the domain change is possible, and we don’t promise zero downtime.
That depends on your catalog size, order history, design scope and integrations. After the free store review you get a clear quote, so you can decide before any work begins.
Yes. A free post-launch support period is included, so we can fix issues and answer questions while your team gets used to the new store.
Our own team does, covering data transfer, theme setup, redirects and testing. You review and approve it, and we keep you posted.
60 days of free post-launch migration support comes with every migration, within the agreed scope. Ongoing development, store support and marketing can be quoted on their own.
