Move to Shopify without treating migration as a simple import
A platform migration affects data, URLs, storefront functionality and customer journeys. We plan those dependencies together so the new Shopify store is tested as a complete system before launch.
Product & catalog migrationMove supported product data, variants, images and merchandising information into an appropriate Shopify structure.
Customer & order dataAssess what historical data can be migrated accurately based on the source platform, available exports/APIs and Shopify’s supported model.
Content & navigationRebuild or transfer important pages, menus and store content rather than treating migration as a product-only exercise.
URL & redirect planningMap important existing URLs and implement appropriate redirects where possible to reduce unnecessary disruption to organic visibility.
Theme & functionality mappingRecreate the storefront and identify whether existing features are native to Shopify, require an app or need custom development.
Pre-launch validationTest products, variants, navigation, mobile layouts, forms, domain/SSL, analytics, integrations and the collection-to-checkout journey.
WooCommerce to Shopify migration
WooCommerce stores may depend on plugins, custom fields, checkout modifications or integrations that do not transfer automatically. We assess those features and map them to suitable Shopify solutions.
SEO and functionality need migration planning too
Platform changes can alter URL structures and technical behavior. We review important redirects, metadata, indexability and tracking alongside the storefront and data migration.
