Migrate to Shopify without losing sales or SEO

We move your store to Shopify from WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Magento or another platform. Your current store keeps selling while we work, and the switch happens in a moment.

Tell us about your project

This is for you if…

  • Your current platform gives you more work than sales
  • You're paying for server maintenance, plugins and updates
  • You want to grow without technology holding you back

What we migrate

Everything your store needs to keep running on day one.

  • Products, variants, images and stock
  • Customers and their order history
  • Pages, blog and SEO metadata
  • 301 redirects for every old URL

From WooCommerce to Shopify

Categories become collections, attributes become variants and custom fields become metafields. Each plugin is replaced by a native Shopify feature, a reliable app or our own code.

SEO during the migration

Before changing anything, we map every URL. Each old address points to its new page, we keep titles and descriptions, and we track indexing in Search Console after the switch.

Step by step

Inventory of what exists, migration to a test store, review with you, adjustments and domain switch. Shutting down the old store comes last, once everything is verified.

How we migrate your store to Shopify

  1. Inventory of your current store

    Products, variants, customers, orders, pages, blog, apps and every URL that gets visits today.

  2. Data and URL map

    We decide how each piece of data moves to Shopify and which new address each old URL points to.

  3. Migration to a test store

    We import the data and set up the theme while your current store keeps selling.

  4. Review with you

    We check products, prices, orders and redirects before making the switch.

  5. Domain switch and monitoring

    We switch at the lowest-traffic moment and monitor indexing in Search Console.

A guide to migrating to Shopify

What gets migrated, what changes and how to protect your rankings when you move your store to Shopify.

Why migrate to Shopify

On platforms like WooCommerce, PrestaShop or Magento, the store depends on a server, updates and plugins that have to stay compatible with each other. On Shopify, hosting, security, updates and checkout are managed by Shopify, and your team can focus on selling.

Shopify also includes, out of the box, pieces that require plugins elsewhere: payments, multiple currencies and languages with Shopify Markets, inventory by location, automations with Shopify Flow and selling on channels like social media or marketplaces.

Which data is migrated and which is not

We migrate products with their variants, images and stock; customers with their order history; pages, blog posts and SEO metadata. Custom fields from your current platform become Shopify metafields.

There are two things Shopify doesn't allow importing: customer passwords, for security reasons, and URLs with their old structure. Customers sign in with their email and a one-time code, and every old URL is redirected to the new one.

  • Products, variants, images and stock
  • Customers and their order history
  • Pages, blog and SEO metadata
  • 301 redirects for every URL

How to avoid losing SEO in a migration

Rankings are lost when old URLs disappear without a redirect, when titles and descriptions that worked are changed or when content goes missing. That's why we first pull the complete list of URLs, including those with external backlinks, and set up a 301 redirect for each one.

After the switch we submit the new sitemap to Google Search Console and review crawl errors and indexing over the following weeks.

From WooCommerce, PrestaShop or Magento

From WooCommerce, categories become collections, attributes become variant options and custom fields become metafields. From PrestaShop, combinations become variants and features become metafields or filters. From Magento, we take special care with configurable products and customer group pricing, which on Shopify can be handled with B2B.

In all three cases, each plugin or module is replaced by a native Shopify feature, a reliable app or our own code.

Frequently asked questions

What clients ask us most about Shopify migration.

Are customer passwords lost?

Shopify doesn't allow importing passwords, for security reasons. Customers are migrated with their orders and, with Shopify's current customer accounts, they sign in with their email and a one-time code, no password needed.

How long will the store be unable to sell?

Practically no time. We set up Shopify in parallel and switch the domain at the lowest-traffic moment.

Are the URLs kept?

Shopify uses its own URL structure, so each old address is 301 redirected to the new one to keep your rankings.

What about product reviews?

They can be brought into the review app you choose on Shopify, as long as your current platform lets you export them.

How much does it cost to migrate to Shopify?

It depends on data volume, design and integrations. We send you a fixed price after the video call. If the data migration requires an external tool priced by volume, we tell you before we start.

Can I migrate and redesign at the same time?

Yes, and it's usually the most efficient approach: the structure, data and SEO work is done only once.

What happens to my domain and email?

The domain is connected to Shopify and remains yours. Your email doesn't change if it's with another provider; we review the DNS records so it isn't interrupted.

Will I lose rankings on Google?

The risk lies in unredirected URLs and content that disappears. We redirect every old URL with a 301, keep titles and descriptions and monitor indexing in Search Console after the switch.

Are past orders migrated?

Yes, order history can be brought over linked to each customer, so you keep it in Shopify.

What happens to my WooCommerce plugins or PrestaShop modules?

We review each one: many are replaced by native Shopify features, others by a reliable app and some by our own code in the theme.

Can I keep running my old store in the meantime?

Yes. Your current store keeps selling until switch day, which happens at the lowest-traffic moment.
