If your Shoplazza products have multiple variants and your collections rely on Smart Collection rules, a simple product import won't be enough.
We review variant SKUs, prices, weights, inventory, and collection conditions before mapping them to Shopify. We'll explain what transfers directly, what needs to be rebuilt, and how we'll handle each part so there are no surprises along the way.

Free post-launch migration support for 60 days is included, and we stay with you after the move.

Illustrative workflow, not a live project
Attention: 6 items need attention.
Can you find a layout that fits your brand?
Some reviewers find the built-in theme library small next to other platforms, and Capterra reviewers mention limited templates and customization options.
If your brand needs a layout none of the available themes offer, look at whether a Shopify theme with section and block settings, or some custom work, could cover it. How flexible a theme is depends on the theme and your plan.
Are fees on every sale eating into your margin?
Shoplazza's own material says it takes a commission on sales, lower on higher plans, and that using its own payments service can remove the commission on top plans.
Put your commission and plan fee beside Shopify's plan fee and payment processing rates at your sales volume. The answer changes with your plan and gateway, so run the numbers against today's pricing pages.
Do the guides match what you see on screen?
One independent review calls some of Shoplazza's self-help guides out of date. Experiences differ, and the platform does have a support team.
If you run the store from documentation, think about how much community content, expert help and developer documentation you want within reach. Shopify has a large ecosystem around all of it, though quality varies.
Will your current tools have a match elsewhere?
One migration guide points out that tools and plugins used on Shoplazza don't always have an equivalent on other platforms, so expect to pick some apps again.
Write down every plugin and integration you depend on before you move. Some will have a Shopify app, some will need a different tool, and a few may call for custom work. We sort this out during the free store review.
Do online reviews of Shoplazza concern you or your customers?
Public reviews of Shoplazza are mixed. Some commentators say many of the negative ones come from shoppers who bought from unrelated storefronts built on the platform, so they say little about the merchant tools.
Take it as background. It doesn't prove anything in either direction. If customers or partners ask where your store is hosted, decide whether the platform name matters to your brand.
Is moving your data a worry?
Migration vendors report that common migration tools usually can't connect to Shoplazza through a direct API, so data travels in CSV exports.
Moving by file works, but the files need cleaning and field mapping, particularly for variants, images and order history. Leave time to check what you export.
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.

What we look at, how it lands on Shopify and the main check we run.
| Shoplazza | Where it goes in Shopify | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| Products, variants & SKUs | Imported. The products we agree on, with their valid options and identifiers. | That combinations are valid, and that prices, SKUs, stock and active status are right. |
| Media & custom fields | Imported. Suitable files, metafields or structured content. | Which images belong to which product, embedded assets and whether the source files can be reached. |
| Categories & collections | Imported and rebuilt. The collections, navigation and filters we agree on. | How shoppers browse, plus any rules that group products automatically. |
| Shoplazza | Where it goes in Shopify | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| Customers & subscribers | Imported. Agreed profiles and addresses, with consent mapped on its own. | Duplicates, history worth keeping and separate proof of permission. |
| Historical orders & after-sales | Imported or archived. Either a supported import or an archive you can still open. | Items, totals, currencies, fulfillment and open cases, with no new emails, shipments or charges going out. |
| Reviews & review media | Imported. Into a compatible review solution, if we can access the source. | Real records, the right product for each review and accurate attribution. |
| Shoplazza | Where it goes in Shopify | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| Pages, blogs & translations | Imported and rebuilt. Agreed content, recreated along with the translations you have published. | Formatting, links, languages and the translations that are actually live. |
| Promotions & app features | Rebuilt. The behavior we agree on, set up again with Shopify features, apps or development. | Who qualifies, what gets charged and how offers combine at checkout. |
| Shoplazza | Where it goes in Shopify | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier & marketing connections | Rebuilt. A replacement or reconnection we agree on. | External IDs, events, product feeds and order routing, tested from start to finish. |
We don’t assume passwords, payment credentials, original payment transactions, exact order numbering, identical reports, live cart sessions or recovery links will carry over. Data kept in third-party apps gets assessed provider by provider before we include it.
Every item is either imported as a record, rebuilt as a working feature or kept in an archive you can open. The proposal tells you which applies to what.
Which exports, records and API access are available.
Variant structure, media and how much storefront we build.
Apps that need replacing and whether we can reach your reviews.
Fulfillment connections, feeds and tracking setup.
How many languages, currencies and providers you use.
Domains, subscriptions, links and sign-offs we wait on.
The proposal lists our project fee apart from your Shopify plan, theme, apps, payment fees and provider costs. Price and schedule are confirmed once the review is done.

60 daysPost-launch migration support at no charge
Tell us what you sell, which tools you depend on and what you’d like to fix. We go through your setup, then tell you what moves, what gets rebuilt on Shopify and what the project would cost.
You don’t need technical knowledge, an app list or export fields to begin. We don’t ask for exports or logins up front, and we set up secure access later.
Shoplazza’s official Store Migration app is documented for bringing stores into Shoplazza, and it can’t be run backwards as a one-click route to Shopify. So we choose an extraction and import method that fits your store.
Designed for moving stores in.Shoplazza documents a product export in XLSX, plus customer and delivery-address exports in CSV or XLSX. We look at how far order records and API access reach, and set up permissions securely.
We check every field after use.Resaving an XLSX file as CSV won’t get it ready for Shopify. We work out what every field means, how identifiers and relationships connect and which import method to use.
Every field gets mapped.Built-in features and installed tools for reviews, upsells, subscriptions, suppliers and sales channels, along with what each one currently does for your store.
We decide on each one.Shoplazza, Shopify and SHOPLINE are three separate platforms, and an export only gives you data, not how the store behaves. The proposal says which records get imported, which functions get rebuilt on Shopify and what goes into an archive you can open. Admin access and API permissions are arranged through secure onboarding, and never through a public form.
| In your Shoplazza catalog | What we review | How we set it up in Shopify |
|---|---|---|
| Products & sellable choices | SKUs, options, prices, stock and status, and which choices are real stocked variants and which are personalization or customer input. | Variants for each valid stocked combination, and input fields or a suitable app for personalization and paid options. |
| Images & structured information | Media, custom fields, embedded images and any files that live outside the product records. | Files, metafields or structured content attached to the right records. Externally hosted assets get checked before the old store is retired. |
| Categories & merchandising | How your store is browsed today, which products sit in which collection and any rules that group products on their own. | Collections, menus and filters that suit the catalog. We review automated grouping for future products apart from today’s product list. |
| Supplier & fulfillment links | Your Shoplazza product and variant records, supplier item IDs, open orders and inventory updates, wherever you use them. | We relink the provider’s Shopify connection to the new variants, then test it with an order and a stock update. |
The example on the right is only an illustration. Real IDs, suppliers and workflows depend on how your store is built.
| Variant internal ID | Shoplazza ID |
|---|---|
| SKU | LAMP-OAK-M |
| Supplier item linked by app | SUP-48213 |
| Stock updated by | Supplier app |
| Open orders at cut-off | 2 |
| Variant | New ID |
|---|---|
| SKU | LAMP-OAK-M |
| Supplier item | Relinked |
| Test order | Sent once |
The SKU carries over, and the supplier link is rebuilt and tested.
Shopify’s help center currently allows up to 2,048 variants and up to three options per product (checked October 2026). Older pages quoting a 100-variant limit are out of date. We still test what your theme, apps, import method and supplier connections can handle, since a very large option set may call for a different product structure.
We find where your reviews are stored, then confirm which records, photos, product links and dates we can reach and which importer takes them on the Shopify side. Shoplazza’s review-import documentation doesn’t show that a complete export exists.
We promise nothing until the route is confirmed.We keep supported dates and media wherever we can. A verified-purchase label, or any stronger proof, only appears if the source backs it up.
Real reviews only.We go through profiles, addresses, duplicates and useful links between records. Marketing subscription status and proof of consent are mapped apart from accounts and purchases.
Nobody gets subscribed by default.We agree on a supported import or an archive you can open, and look at original totals, currencies, fulfillment, refunds and open cases. We test imports so they can’t send new emails or shipments, take charges or grant entitlements.
Past orders stay in the past.We don’t assume passwords transfer. Together we plan the Shopify customer-account setup you choose and how existing customers sign in, instead of sending everyone the same password-reset email.
Your advertising history sits in your ad and analytics accounts. Moving the storefront doesn’t wipe it out, and we plan the reconnections that make sense. A copied pixel ID proves nothing about whether a setup works, and nobody can guarantee the same attribution, audiences, campaign learning or ad performance after changing platforms.
Product, page and theme translations that are really stored, matched from Shoplazza records to the right Shopify records. Translation generated by the browser is handled on its own.
Live languages, regional domains or subfolders, and navigation. A language selector on its own says nothing about whether the content is complete.
For every market you sell to, we confirm which currency is displayed, which is charged and which is settled.
Sample prices, shipping options, taxes and payment methods get tested in each market. A feature called “Markets” on both platforms doesn’t mean the same setup or capability.
| Check | What we confirm | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Old /de/ product link | Lands on the German product page | Test |
| Translated content | Stored translation, not machine display | Agreed |
| Price shown | Agreed EUR price, not a rough conversion | Test |
| Currency charged | Matches what the shopper saw | Test |
| Shipping, tax & payment | Methods available for that market | Review |
A converted price may not be the price charged. Shoplazza’s documentation for its Multi-Currency app says converted prices are for reference and the order total reverts to the store’s default currency. That covers one app and not every Shoplazza Markets or payment setup, so we check how your store behaves and test the result on Shopify.
We look at your business location, products, provider availability and requirements. Importing records doesn’t carry Shoplazza Payments over to Shopify, and we can’t promise approval for Shopify Payments or any other gateway.
Looked at before you commit.We find your real subscription provider and review recurring agreements, saved-payment permissions, Shopify compatibility and what you tell customers, including whether they need to re-authorize.
A saved record doesn’t give permission to bill.We settle who deals with open fulfillment, returns, refunds and payment disputes after the switch, and which source records and provider access have to stay available.
Every case gets an owner.We reconcile customer credits, gift value and loyalty balances and agree how each is handled, so every balance is honored once and can’t be spent twice.
Matched up before launch.Shoplazza’s Subscription app documentation says deactivating, closing or freezing a store cancels its subscription contracts, and describes deleting the app differently. That makes the order important. We confirm your real provider and its current behavior, move or re-establish recurring agreements, and only then plan the store closure.
Product templates, brand layouts, navigation and editable sections, or the parts of your current Shoplazza design we agree to keep.
Explore theme & design →Custom functions and integrations for cases where no existing app does the job, such as bundles, upsells or supplier logic.
Explore app development →The migration checks we agree on for URLs, content and metadata. Ongoing optimization is a separate service.
Explore Shopify SEO →Google Ads, Meta Ads, email and other fitting channels to help you grow after launch.
Explore ecommerce marketing →Migration gets its own quote. We check checkout fields, bundles, upsells and promotions against your Shopify plan and the options it supports. Extra development, redesign and ongoing marketing come in only if you ask for them, each with its own scope and price.
URL structures that look alike still get tested. Rankings can shift after any migration, so we don’t promise unchanged URLs, unchanged rankings or traffic growth.
These paths are examples. We work from your store’s actual URLs, redirects and market settings.
Pointing a domain at Shopify and transferring its registration are two separate things. A domain you own can usually be connected without changing registrar. We look at DNS first.
Shopify doesn’t host email inboxes. Whenever DNS changes, we leave your mail records intact so mailboxes hosted elsewhere carry on working.
We hold on to agreed exports, assets and provider access until refunds, disputes, subscriptions and any other dependencies are cleared.
We set up access to your Shoplazza admin, apps or payment provider securely, and never through the public enquiry form.
Migration tools can move the common store records, and some providers add managed services and human quality checks. Merchants use them successfully, and if a tool fits your data we can use it inside the project. We take responsibility for the agreed project around it, which means getting to know your store as a business, reviewing the data and connections, and building and testing the Shopify side.
| Your question | Self-service migration tool | Migration managed by WEP |
|---|---|---|
| Who reviews the source? | You pick from the records the tool supports and check the settings yourself. | We go through your exports, apps, suppliers and markets, and write down what moves and who handles what. |
| Supplier and feed links? | Products may move, but relinking suppliers and feeds usually falls to you. | We plan the relinking with you, then test an order, a stock update and the agreed feed. |
| Reviews, markets and payments? | That depends on what the tool supports, and currency and provider checks often sit outside it. | We confirm review access, languages, checkout currency and provider eligibility early on. |
| Who builds the storefront? | You, the tool provider’s service or a different agency. | We plan theme setup or customization alongside the data work. |
| Who runs the launch? | Your team runs the cut-off, domain, redirects and checks. | We run the cut-off, domain, link and tracking tests and late-order checks, and 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 go through source access, exports, apps, suppliers, translations, payment and provider eligibility and your main buying journeys, then agree the scope with you.
We prepare the data and the Shopify storefront, run a sample migration and go over it with you before the full import happens.
Catalog edits are kept under control, chosen records that keep changing get a final update, and we agree who owns inventory and when the cut-off falls.
We line up the domain, feeds and integrations, reconcile late orders and hand over the documentation and support we agreed.
This is how we test. It is an illustration and not a client result.
The switch gets planned well before the day.
This is a one-time migration with a final update at launch, and it doesn’t keep Shoplazza and Shopify synchronized in both directions afterwards. We cut the risks down, but nobody can promise uninterrupted trading or zero data loss.
Yes, and it costs nothing. We look at your current store, your product and customer data, your apps and your traffic sources, then tell you what moves cleanly, what needs rebuilding and what to expect. Nothing obliges you to go ahead.
Our team does the data move, the Shopify setup, the theme work and the redirect planning. You review and approve at set checkpoints, so you don’t have to learn a new system on your own.
We build and test the new Shopify store while your current one stays live. Once it’s ready, we schedule the switch for a quieter period and keep any gap as short as we practically can. We can’t promise zero downtime, and we confirm the plan during the free store review.
Migration vendors list products, categories, customers, orders, reviews and pages as the usual data types, and they move them through CSV files because direct API tools generally aren’t available. Export screens and fields differ by plan and version, so we confirm them in the free store review.
Usually they do, but CSV files have to be mapped to Shopify’s product format, and variant structures and image links often need cleanup. We check a sample import before running the full one.
Generally yes, as imported records, so your reporting and support history stay with you. They show up as historical data and not live orders, and details like payment records may not map one to one. We confirm what your store makes available.
Yes. Before anything changes, save a full copy of your exported files and a note of your settings, shipping rules and discounts. We can help you gather it all.
No. For security reasons, passwords generally can’t move between platforms. Customers get an invite or reset email to choose a new password on Shopify, and we plan that message with you.
Normally yes. Customer names, emails and addresses can come in from an export file. Marketing consent has to be carried over correctly, so we check it before importing.
Customers who had accounts will need to activate or reset their account on the new store. Guest shoppers have nothing to do.
Shopify has its own URL patterns, so we map your old product, collection and page URLs to the new ones with 301 redirects. Rankings can move for a while after any replatform, and we can’t promise they’ll stay the same.
A Shoplazza theme can’t be copied over. We rebuild the look on a Shopify theme using your brand, content and layout needs, within what that theme and its settings allow.
The domain remains yours. We point it at Shopify at launch, and email on the domain keeps working as long as its DNS records are preserved. We check those records beforehand.
We list each one, find the Shopify app or built-in feature that covers it, and flag anything with no match. Some features don’t map one to one and may need an app or custom work.
That depends on your plan, apps, payment gateway and sales volume. Set your current plan and commissions beside Shopify’s plan and processing fees on their current pricing pages. We help you work out the estimate in the free store review.
Yes. A free post-launch support period is included, so we can fix whatever shows up once real customers and orders arrive. We confirm what it covers when we agree the scope.
Some features come built in and others need paid apps. We try to keep the app list short, and you see the monthly total before you commit.
We quote once we’ve looked at data access, design, apps, suppliers, languages, payments and launch requirements. The proposal lays out the schedule, the outside running costs and the support terms, including 60 days of free post-launch migration support within the agreed scope. The store review and quote are free.
Tell us what you sell, which tools you depend on and what you want to change. We’ll look through the data, connections and buying experience, then propose a scope, a next step and a quote.
