Shopify migration services
Shopify migration services for stores that can't afford to lose data or rankings
Moving a store to Shopify is a data project, an SEO project and a rebuild at the same time. We are Shopify developers who plan all three together: we map what moves and what doesn't, rebuild what your old platform did with custom code, redirect every URL, and switch over with a tested plan.
Signs it's time to move to Shopify
Security patches, hosting and extension upgrades take more of the budget each year than new features do.
Your platform version is near the end of its support, and the upgrade is as big as a migration.
Plugins conflict after updates, and the checkout or the admin breaks at the worst times.
Simple changes, like a new landing page or a discount rule, need a developer every time.
The site slows down or falls over during sales and campaigns.
You want Shopify's checkout, Shop Pay or Shopify Markets, and your current platform can't match them.
What moves to Shopify, and how
| From your current store | What we do on Shopify |
|---|---|
| From your current store01Products, variants, images, collections and categories | What we do on ShopifyMap them to Shopify products, variants, metafields and collections, then import and check counts and samples against the source |
| From your current store02Customers and their order history | What we do on ShopifyImport customers and past orders. Passwords can't be moved between platforms, so we plan how customers sign in again |
| From your current store03URLs for products, categories, blog posts and pages | What we do on ShopifyMap every old URL to its new one, import 301 redirects and test them before the domain switches |
| From your current store04Titles, meta descriptions, content and blog posts | What we do on ShopifyCarry them across so pages keep what they rank for, and rebuild structured data in the new theme |
| From your current store05Custom features, plugins and extensions | What we do on ShopifyReplace each with a Shopify feature, an app, or custom code such as a Shopify Function or a custom app |
| From your current store06Integrations with ERP, warehouse, CRM and accounting systems | What we do on ShopifyReconnect them through Shopify's GraphQL Admin API and webhooks |

Shopify migration, planned and tested
A fixed-scope migration for merchants who want one team to own the move from the first inventory to the weeks after launch.
What we do
- Inventory of your current store: data, URLs, features, plugins and integrations
- A mapping document that says where each thing goes on Shopify, and what won't move
- Theme build or adaptation, and custom code for what Shopify doesn't do out of the box
- Trial imports, with counts and samples checked against the source
- A redirect map for every indexed URL, tested before launch
- A cutover plan with a content freeze, a final data sync and a rollback step
What you get
- A store that is yours: your Shopify account, your theme code in your repository, your apps
- A written record of what was moved, what was replaced and what was left behind on purpose
- Search Console and 404 monitoring in the weeks after launch, with fixes as they appear
The scope depends on the size of the catalogue, the custom features and the integrations. We quote after reviewing the current store.
Platforms we move stores from
The steps are the same for every platform. What changes is where the data lives and which features need rebuilding.
- 01
Magento and Adobe Commerce: configurable products, store views, customer groups, extensions and ERP links. We map store views to Shopify Markets or expansion stores.
- 02
WooCommerce and WordPress: products, variations, plugins, permalinks and the blog. Content that stays on WordPress can run alongside the new store.
- 03
BigCommerce: products, options, customer groups and price lists.
- 04
Custom-built and other platforms: we work from a database export or an API, and write the import scripts ourselves.
- 05
Shopify to Shopify Plus: checkout extensions, Functions and B2B features that open up on Plus.
How it works
- 01
Review
We look at your current store, its data, plugins and integrations, and list the risks.
- 02
Map
We write the mapping for data, URLs and features, and agree what gets rebuilt, replaced or dropped.
- 03
Build and import
We build the theme and custom code, run trial imports and test redirects on a staging store.
- 04
Cut over
We freeze content, run the final sync, switch the domain and monitor orders, redirects and tracking.
Shopify migration questions
An inventory of your current store, a mapping of data, URLs and features to Shopify, the theme and any custom code, trial imports, a tested redirect map, the cutover itself and monitoring after launch. You get a written record of what moved and what didn't.
Rankings usually dip for a short time after any platform change. The lasting losses come from URLs that change without redirects, or from content that gets dropped. We map every indexed URL to its new address, keep titles and content in place, test the redirects before launch, and watch Search Console afterwards.
It depends on the catalogue, the number of custom features and the integrations. A small catalogue on a standard theme moves quickly. A store with ERP links, B2B pricing and several storefronts takes longer because each of those is rebuilt and tested. We give you a timeline with the migration plan.
No. Passwords are stored in a form that can't be moved between platforms. Customers and their order history are imported, and customers sign in again, either by resetting a password or with the one-time code that Shopify's new customer accounts use.
Each one is checked. Some are covered by Shopify itself, some by an app, and the rest are rebuilt as custom code, such as a Shopify Function for discount or shipping logic, or a custom app. A few are dropped because nobody uses them, and we list those for you to approve.
Yes. Configurable products become Shopify products with variants, store views map to Shopify Markets or expansion stores, and customer groups map to segments or B2B catalogs. Extensions are replaced one by one. Our Magento to Shopify guide covers the mapping in detail.
Yes. The blog can move to Shopify, or stay on WordPress on a subdomain or behind a redirect plan. We recommend the option that keeps your existing URLs and rankings with the least change.
Most stores start on a standard plan. Plus matters when you need checkout customisation, more automation, expansion stores or the full B2B feature set. We tell you which plan the mapping calls for, and our Plus guide explains the difference.
It depends on the size of the catalogue, the custom features to rebuild and the systems to reconnect. We quote after reviewing the current store.
