What We Migrate
Everything Your New Shopify Store Needs
Customers & Orders
Customer records and historical order information where supported by the source platform and migration method.
Pages & Blog Content
Important pages, blog posts, articles, and other content that needs to remain available after the move.
SEO Data
Existing URLs, relevant metadata, canonical information, and redirect requirements are reviewed as part of the migration.
Storefront Structure
Navigation, collections, filters, templates, product layouts, and other important parts of the customer journey.
Apps & Integrations
Third-party functionality, payment services, analytics, marketing tools, CRM connections, and other integrations are reviewed and configured where required.
Platform Migration
Platform Migration to Shopify
Magento to Shopify Migration
A Magento to Shopify migration can involve large product catalogs, customer and order data, custom functionality, integrations, and complex store structures.
We first review what exists on Magento, identify what needs to move, and determine which functionality should be rebuilt using Shopify's available features, apps, or custom development.
WooCommerce to Shopify Migration
A WooCommerce to Shopify migration can include products, variations, customers, orders, pages, blog content, categories, media, and relevant SEO information.
We map the existing structure to Shopify and review URL changes before launch so important pages are not left without a destination.
BigCommerce to Shopify Migration
Businesses that want to migrate from BigCommerce to Shopify may need to move catalog data, customer information, orders, content, URLs, and integrations while adapting the existing storefront to Shopify's structure.
The migration plan is based on the current BigCommerce setup and the functionality required on the new Shopify store.
SEO Migration and Redirect Mapping
Keep Your Important URLs Connected
When you move your store to Shopify, some URLs may change. We map your old URLs to the right new Shopify URLs and set up redirects to help protect your existing search visibility and avoid broken links.
We also check for redirect chains, broken destinations, missing redirects, and internal links that still point to old URLs.
Shopify supports URL redirects and recommends checking important old URLs after launch to confirm they reach the correct destination.
For example:
| Old URL | New Shopify URL |
|---|---|
| Old Category URL | New Shopify Collection URL |
| Old Product URL | New Shopify Product URL |
| Old Blog URL | New Shopify Blog URL |
Customer Accounts
What Happens to Customer Passwords?
Customer account data and customer passwords are not the same thing.
Passwords from another eCommerce platform generally cannot simply be transferred into Shopify as usable customer passwords. Customers may therefore need to activate or reset their account access after migration.
We account for this in the migration plan so customers receive a clear path to accessing their accounts rather than discovering the issue after launch.
Apps & Integrations
Apps, Integrations & Custom Functionality
A platform migration can also mean rebuilding functionality that was previously handled by plugins, extensions, or custom code.
Where Shopify already provides an equivalent feature, we evaluate the native option. Where additional functionality is required, we determine whether an appropriate app, integration, or custom development is needed.
Before migration, we identify important dependencies such as:
-
Payment gateways
-
Shipping tools
-
CRM integrations
-
Email and marketing platforms
-
Analytics
-
Customer accounts
-
Reviews
-
Loyalty systems
-
Subscription functionality
-
Custom product features
-
Third-party APIs
Migration Process
A Structured Move From Planning to Launch
-
01
Audit & Migration Mapping
We review your current platform, store structure, data, URLs, SEO, integrations, and custom functionality.
The migration scope is documented before development begins. -
02
Shopify Build & Configuration
The Shopify store is configured with the required theme, templates, navigation, apps, settings, shipping, payment options, and other agreed functionality.
Development and configuration can be carried out in a staging environment before launch. See our Shopify Store Design & Development service. -
03
Data Migration
Products, customers, orders, content, and other agreed data are transferred according to the migration plan.
The migrated data is checked against the source information to identify missing or inconsistent records. -
04
SEO & Redirect Setup
Important old URLs are mapped to their new Shopify destinations.
Relevant metadata, canonicals, internal links, sitemap requirements, and other technical SEO elements are reviewed before launch. -
05
QA & Launch
The new store is checked across important customer journeys, including navigation, product pages, cart, checkout, forms, redirects, integrations, analytics, and mobile usability.
The launch is then coordinated around the agreed cutover plan. -
06
Post-Migration Monitoring
After launch, we check important URLs, redirects, crawlability, indexing signals, analytics, and other available data to identify issues that need attention.
Shopify's current migration guidance similarly recommends post-launch redirect verification, crawling, Search Console checks, sitemap submission, and ongoing monitoring.
Why Migrate to Shopify?
A Migration Can Also Be a Chance to Clean Up the Store
Moving platforms does not have to mean copying every old problem into the new store.
Shopify's own migration guidance notes that migration can also be an opportunity to review and remove low-performing or outdated content rather than transferring everything automatically.
It is also a good time to improve store performance with Shopify Speed Optimization.
A migration can provide an opportunity to:
-
Simplify the store structure
-
Improve mobile usability
-
Review outdated content
-
Remove unnecessary functionality
-
Rebuild important customer journeys
-
Improve product and collection organization
-
Review technical SEO
-
Reconsider third-party app dependencies
-
Prepare the store for future growth
What a Well-Planned Migration Can Help Protect
Your Existing Business Assets

Required products, customers, orders, and content are transferred according to the agreed scope.
Customer Experience
The new Shopify store is tested across the main shopping journey before launch.

Future Scalability
The new Shopify structure can be organized around the store's current requirements and future functionality.
Migration Without Guesswork
Every Store Has Different Migration Requirements
A small catalog with standard functionality is very different from a large store with custom integrations, subscriptions, multiple markets, or complex historical data.
That is why we do not treat every migration as the same checklist.
From there, the migration scope and sequence can be planned around the actual store.
We first understand:
-
What do you have?
-
What needs to move?
-
What needs to be rebuilt?
-
Which URLs and SEO assets need protection?
-
What needs to work on launch day?
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
01 Will I lose my SEO rankings when I migrate to Shopify?
A migration can temporarily affect search visibility because URLs and site structure may change. Proper URL mapping, redirects, metadata, technical SEO checks, and post-launch monitoring help reduce avoidable SEO problems.
02 Can you migrate from Magento to Shopify?
Yes. A Magento to Shopify migration can include products, customers, orders, content, SEO information, integrations, and other agreed data and functionality. The exact scope depends on the existing Magento store.
03 Can you migrate from WooCommerce to Shopify?
Yes. We can migrate agreed products, customers, orders, content, media, SEO information, and other supported data while preparing the new Shopify structure and redirects.
04 Can you migrate from BigCommerce to Shopify?
Yes. We can plan a BigCommerce to Shopify migration around the existing catalog, customers, orders, content, URLs, integrations, and functionality that needs to be retained or rebuilt.
05 Will my customers' passwords transfer to Shopify?
Passwords from another eCommerce platform generally cannot be transferred as usable Shopify passwords. Customers may need to activate or reset their account access after migration.
06 How long does a Shopify migration take?
A standard migration may take a few weeks, while larger catalogs, complex integrations, custom functionality, and more extensive SEO requirements can increase the timeline. Our typical project range is around 2 to 6 weeks depending on scope.
07 Will my existing store go down during migration?
The new Shopify store can be built and tested before the final launch, allowing the existing store to continue operating during most of the migration process. The exact cutover and any downtime depend on the domain, integrations, source platform, and launch requirements.
08 What happens to my existing blog content and URLs?
Important blog content can be migrated, while existing URLs are reviewed and mapped to their new Shopify destinations. Redirects help visitors and search engines reach the correct new pages.
09 How much does it cost to migrate a store to Shopify?
The cost depends on catalog size, data requirements, custom functionality, integrations, theme work, SEO requirements, and the complexity of the existing store. A simple store requires a very different migration scope from a large store with custom systems.
