YOUR STORE → SHOPIFYManaged by one team

Shopify Migration Services

We move stores from any platform to Shopify, with a migration plan built around your business.

Before we plan anything, we go through your products, customers, content and the systems connected to your store. That shows us what the move involves, so we can agree on the data migration, the storefront work and the launch your business needs.

Plus, you deal with one team from the first review to launch day.

  • The catalog, features and systems tied to your store.
  • Key content, customer records and URLs.
  • A proposed Shopify setup with scope and timeline.

MORE THAN A PRODUCT IMPORT

Decide which records and features come across

Your proposal lists the records we can reach, where each one lands in Shopify and how we check it. Moving data and rebuilding features are two separate jobs, and we plan them that way.

Products and variants

Variant options and SKUs

Images and media

Files tied to the right products

Categories, collections and navigation

How customers browse

Custom information and specifications

Metafields and page content

Customers and addresses

BUILD THE STORE AROUND THE DATA

Get a Shopify store that’s ready to sell

A theme from your old platform won’t install on Shopify, so how the storefront looks is its own decision. We can start with a new theme, customize one, or rebuild the pieces of your current design you care about.
Option 1

Set up a new Shopify theme

Pick a theme that fits, then set it up for your brand and catalog.

Option 2

Customize a Shopify theme

Change a theme’s templates, sections and navigation so they suit how you sell.

Option 3

Rebuild parts of your current design

We recreate the parts of your design you want to keep. Code from the old theme isn’t copied over.

Step 1

Current requirement

What the feature does for your business right now.

Step 2

Shopify feature, app, integration or scoped development

The route we recommend, with the cost and the downsides explained.

Step 3

Acceptance check

The test that shows it works the way your team expects.

Typical examples include product options, wholesale pricing, subscriptions, search, loyalty, fulfillment and accounting. We won’t name an app or promise identical behavior until we’ve looked at your store.

Your proposal itemizes the work. Migration, storefront work, extra development and optional ongoing services each get their own line, so you only pay for what you pick.

PLAN FOR THE TRAFFIC YOU ALREADY HAVE

Point your existing links at the new store

Changing platforms can change your URLs, how your content is organized and the channels tied to your store. We plan where each link should go before launch and check them once the switch is made.
  • List the public URLs and content that matter.
  • Match each one to a Shopify page.
  • Bring across the metadata we agree on and fix internal links.
  • Look over indexing, canonicals and any structured data worth keeping.
  • Test the feeds, campaign links and tracking in scope.

Shopify’s redirect tool has limits. It only works from addresses that no longer load a page, and URLs with query strings may not redirect the way you’d expect. When a redirect can’t be done, we agree another way to handle it. Rankings can shift after a platform move, so we can’t promise the same traffic or a redirect for every URL. Our article on SEO considerations for ecommerce migration goes into more detail.

Category page/lighting/301/collections/lighting
Content page/shipping-info/301/pages/shipping-info
URL with query string/lamps?id=1042ReviewAgreed approach

Example paths for illustration only. We work from your store’s real URLs, redirects and settings.

HOW THE MIGRATION WORKS

One plan you sign off on, with checkpoints along the way

There are six stages, and you look over the work at each one. Nothing goes live until you approve the new store.
1

Review the source and requirements

We go through your catalog, data, features, URLs and connected systems.

You reviewWhat we found and what you want from the new store.

2

Agree scope, destination and responsibilities

We write up the proposal, covering scope, the Shopify plan that fits, who does what and the quote.

You approveThe scope, the quote and who does what.

3

Map and test representative records

We map what transfers and try the awkward cases on sample records.

You reviewThe sample records and the trickiest buying scenarios.

4

Build Shopify and the agreed connections

We build the private Shopify store and hook up the apps and systems we agreed on.

You reviewThe private Shopify store, before anyone else sees it.

5

Validate the store and approve launch

We reconcile the data and go through the buying journeys with you.

You approveWhen the store goes live.

6

Complete final updates, launch and handover

We apply the final updates you agreed to, coordinate the switch and hand the store over.

You receiveThe handover and support after launch.

Migration tools, exports and authorized APIs can help with the transfer. What you’re paying for is the planning, building, checking and coordination around them. Timings depend on your store, and your proposal confirms them after the review.

YOUR LIVE STORE AND THE LAUNCH WINDOW

Your current store keeps selling while Shopify gets ready

1

Initial migration

We get the agreed records ready while your current store stays live.

2

Private build and testing

You look over Shopify in private and we fix the issues we agreed to.

3

Agreed final update and switch

We refresh the records that keep changing, then coordinate the cutoff and the switch of systems.

4

Late activity reconciliation

We look at what happened around the switch and account for any agreed records that went missing, even a single order.

Agree the launch window

You know the plan for the switch before it happens.

  • A catalog freeze or change log while Shopify is being prepared.
  • One named source of truth for stock and other records that change.
  • The final order, customer, price and stock updates we pick before launch.
  • The cutoff time and when integrations switch over.
  • Late orders that land around launch, even one.
  • Any temporary restrictions you agree to ahead of time.

We don’t offer unlimited automatic syncing or zero downtime in every case. We agree with you beforehand how the switch will go.

THE REQUIREMENTS DECIDE THE SETUP

A simple catalog and a complicated operation need different plans

01

Wholesale and B2B

Company logins, pricing, order quantities, terms and how business customers buy.

See also Sana Commerce · OroCommerce

02

Several brands or markets

Domains, catalogs, languages, currencies and operations that overlap.

See also Magento

03

ERP, PIM and fulfillment connections

Who owns each record, which way updates travel and an order flow that’s been tested.

See also Sana Commerce

04

Retail, subscriptions or specialist products

Point of sale choices, recurring obligations, digital access and products that behave in unusual ways.

See also Lightspeed · Big Cartel

Some requirements call for Shopify Plus and some can’t be matched natively at all. We compare each one with what the current Shopify plans offer, then recommend a native feature, an app, development or a different plan.

AAZ Stores
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

Shopify migration questions, answered

Plain answers about the service and what comes next. Questions about a particular platform are covered in that platform’s guide.

Getting started

The directory above links to a guide for each platform we cover. We always begin by looking at your actual store, its data and the features you rely on. If your platform isn’t listed, send us the site address and we’ll see what access we have and how we’d approach it before we agree a scope.

No, your store URL and a note on what you want changed are enough. We’ll work out how the store is set up and tell you what we need for a proper review. Keep passwords, API keys and customer files out of the public enquiry form, because we arrange access separately.

Yes. We test the setup we’d propose against how your products behave, how customers buy, the systems you connect and what it all costs in total. Shopify isn’t the right home for every business. If something important needs a different approach, we say so before you agree to the project.
