Will my store go offline?

Usually not for long. The new store is built in parallel and the switch is quick, planned for a quiet period.

Will I keep my order history?

Typically yes, with import tools or scripts, though some details may map imperfectly. We'll explain what to expect.

Migration to Shopify

Migrating your store from WooCommerce or another platform to Shopify, products, customers, and order history, moved over properly.

In depth

What migration to shopify really involves

Moving platforms is stressful for good reason. Your products, customers and order history live in the old system, your search rankings depend on its URLs, and any downtime costs sales. A migration done carelessly can lose all three.

So we plan before moving anything. What data comes across: products, variants, images, customers, past orders, reviews, blog posts? What can't, such as passwords, which can't be transferred and need a re-set invitation? Which URLs change, and what do they redirect to? We write this down so there are no surprises on the switch-over day.

Data usually moves via import tools or scripts, followed by careful checking. We compare counts, spot-check products and test the checkout. DNS cut-over happens at a quiet time. Sometimes a platform's quirks mean not everything migrates perfectly, and we'd rather tell you that early than have you discover it later.

How it goes

How we approach migration to shopify

Audit the old store

We list data, apps, URLs and integrations, and decide what moves, what's rebuilt and what's retired.

Build and import on Shopify

The new store is set up while the old one keeps trading, and data is imported and checked.

Map redirects and test

Every important old URL gets a redirect, and checkout, emails and tracking get tested.

Switch domain and monitor

DNS is pointed at the new store at a quiet time, and we watch orders and search results closely afterward.

Ideal for

Who this fits

Businesses outgrowing WooCommerce or another platform

Stores wanting Shopify's reliability without losing existing data

Watch out for

Common mistakes, and how we avoid them

Forgetting redirects

It's the biggest cause of lost rankings after a move. We map them all.

Customer passwords

They can't be moved. We plan an account-activation email so customers aren't stranded.

Moving junk

Old, unused products and plugins don't need to come along. Migration is a chance to clean up.
