Shopify migration services

We move your store to Shopify without losing your rankings or pausing your sales.

A data export takes a weekend and costs a hundred dollars. Everything around it is the actual project.

Where you are moving from

Every route has one thing that reliably goes wrong. Ours is knowing which.

01

Magento or Adobe Commerce to Shopify

The most common move we see, and the most involved. Magento stores tend to have years of custom logic in them: tiered pricing, customer groups, complicated attribute sets, extensions doing things Shopify handles differently or not at all. The work is deciding what becomes a Shopify feature, what becomes an app, what becomes custom code, and what quietly gets dropped because nobody has used it since 2019. Magento 1 stores have the extra problem of running unsupported software, so security is usually what starts the conversation.

02

WooCommerce to Shopify

Usually simpler data, harder content. The catalogue moves cleanly. The blog, the landing pages, the plugin behaviour and ten years of URL structure do not, and that is where rankings get lost.

03

PrestaShop, Squarespace, Wix, GoDaddy, Weebly, Webflow

Smaller catalogues, cleaner exports, and the same URL problem as everything else. These are the fastest projects we do.

04

Shopify to Shopify

Consolidating several stores into one, splitting one into several, or moving between accounts after an acquisition. Sounds trivial, and the customer accounts and subscription data are where it stops being trivial.

02 · Positioning

What a migration app will not do

Automated tools move products, customers and orders between databases. For a small store with a stock theme, that may genuinely be all you need, and we will say so rather than sell you a project. Here is what they leave on your desk.

Your URLs

A tool imports products. It does not map ten thousand old URLs to new ones or write the redirects. This is the single biggest cause of traffic loss after a replatform.

Your design

Nothing about the front end comes across. You either rebuild the theme or you accept a stock one.

Your integrations

ERP, accounting, PIM, 3PL, subscription billing, custom pricing, EDI. Each one gets reconnected, and Shopify's data model rarely matches what the old integration expected.

Anything Shopify does not do

Every store has two or three of these. Finding them before launch rather than after is most of what discovery is for.

Order history that stays usable

Historical orders imported as flat records break your reporting and your support team. They need to arrive in a shape people can still work with.

The launch itself

Tools give you a populated store. They do not tell you how to switch a trading business over without a gap.

03 · SEO

Keeping your search rankings

The reason most replatforms lose traffic is not Shopify. It is unmapped URLs and content that arrived as an afterthought. What we do is unglamorous work that mostly happens before anything is built.

01

Crawl every indexed URL

Pull the full index, including pages nobody on the team remembers still ranking.

02

Map each destination

Shopify equivalent, deliberate 410, or a redirect — never a surprise 404 after launch.

03

Move titles, descriptions, schema

Bring meta and structured data with the content instead of regenerating them blank.

04

Handle Shopify's URL rules

Product and collection paths change whether you plan for it or not. We plan for it.

05

Rebuild internal links

Point every in-site link at the final destination, not the old platform path.

06

Keep hreflang and canonicals

Multi-market signals stay intact so Google does not treat markets as duplicates.

04 · Cutover

Launching without pausing sales

You cannot close a shop for a weekend, so the switch is planned like an operation rather than a deployment.

01

Build in parallel

The new store is built and populated while the old one keeps trading.

02

Final sync

Data is synced again immediately before the switch so late orders are not lost.

03

DNS, redirects, real payments

Redirects activate, payments and tax are tested with real transactions.

04

Train before cutover

Your team learns the new admin before the switch, not during it.

05

Reconcile orders in flight

Open and in-progress orders are handled deliberately — the detail most plans skip.

06

Keep the old store

The previous store stays accessible for a period afterwards. You will need it.

08 · FAQ

Questions we get asked

How much does a Shopify migration cost?

Anywhere from a few thousand for a small catalogue on a stock theme, to a substantial project for a large store with custom integrations and a bespoke front end. What moves it: catalogue size, how many integrations need rebuilding, whether the design is being redesigned or reproduced, and how many URLs need mapping. The audit gives you a fixed price before you commit to the build.

How long does it take to migrate to Shopify?

Weeks for a simple store. Months for a large catalogue with ERP integrations and a custom front end. The audit gives you a date, and the schedule is usually driven by integrations rather than by data.

Will we lose our Google rankings?

Not if the URLs are mapped and redirected properly, which is the part automated tools do not cover. Every indexed URL gets a destination before launch, redirects go live at the switch, and we monitor daily for a month afterwards.

Can you migrate our order history?

Yes, and in a state your team can still use rather than as flat records that break reporting. How far back you go is a decision worth making deliberately, because full history is not always worth what it costs.

Do we have to stop selling during the migration?

No. The new store is built while the old one trades, data is synced again just before the switch, and the cutover is a DNS change rather than a shutdown.

Why not just use a migration app?

For a small store on a stock theme with no integrations, an app may be all you need, and we will tell you so. It stops being enough when you have URLs to preserve, a design to rebuild, integrations to reconnect, or anything your old platform did that Shopify does not.

What happens to our apps and extensions?

Each one gets a decision: a Shopify app that does the same job, custom code, or dropped. Plenty of extensions exist only to work around the old platform and have no reason to survive the move.

Can you migrate to Shopify Plus?

Yes. Whether Plus is worth it depends on your order volume, how much you need checkout customisation, and whether you sell across several markets. We will go through that before you commit to the plan.
