What we migrate
What your Shopify migration includes
Products and their variants. Titles, descriptions, prices, images, variants, inventory and attributes. During the Shopify migration, we also fix what was holding back your sales: incomplete product pages, poorly sorted categories.
Customers and orders. Customer accounts, addresses and order history carry over so your customer service team keeps all the information.
URLs and redirects. Every old URL gets a 301 redirect to the matching new Shopify page, never to the home page. That is the heart of a successful Shopify migration.
Page SEO. Title tags, meta descriptions, collection text and structured data follow the pages. See also Shopify SEO.
Payments, taxes and shipping. GST, QST and the taxes of other provinces, payment methods, carriers and shipping rates are set up and tested before opening.
Feeds and sales tracking. Google Shopping and Meta feeds are reconnected and GA4 receives purchases from the new store from day one, so your campaigns keep running and you can compare before and after the Shopify migration.
Our method
The steps of a Shopify migration
Taking stock of the current store
We list every product, every page and every URL that receives traffic, using your Search Console and your sales data.
The redirect plan
Every old URL gets its destination in the new store. This Shopify migration plan is approved with you before any switch.
Data transfer and the new store
Products, customers, orders, theme, apps, payments and taxes: the Shopify store is built and tested while the old one keeps selling.
The switch and the follow-up
On launch day, the redirects go live with the domain change. Over the following weeks, we watch Search Console and sales after the Shopify migration to correct any gap.
Your current platform
Shopify migration from WooCommerce, Wix, Magento or Lightspeed
Every platform has its traps. Our Shopify migration plan accounts for them from the inventory stage.
WooCommerce to Shopify
WooCommerce URLs (/product/, /product-category/) all change. Plugins that added fields to products need an equivalent in Shopify.
Wix or Squarespace to Shopify
The catalogue is often small but content pages are many. The Shopify migration also moves the articles and pages that attract traffic.
Magento or Lightspeed to Shopify
Large catalogues, complex variants and customer-specific pricing: these stores often aim for Shopify Plus and an ERP connection.

Definition
What is a Shopify migration?
A Shopify migration is the move of an online store from another platform (WooCommerce, Wix, Magento, Lightspeed or another) to Shopify. It includes transferring products, customers and orders, rebuilding the theme, setting up payments and taxes, then redirecting every old URL to its new page to keep search rankings.
Pricing

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Shopify migration cost?+
A Shopify migration is part of a Shopify project, offered from $4,900, or a Shopify Plus project, offered from $25,000. The price depends on the number of products, customers and orders to move, the integrations and the design. You receive a written quote after we take stock of your store.
Will we lose our search rankings by moving to Shopify?+
A poorly prepared Shopify migration can cost you positions, because Shopify imposes its own URLs (/products/, /collections/). With a complete redirect plan, set up before the switch and checked after it, you greatly improve your chances of keeping your traffic.
How long does a Shopify migration take?+
Plan for at least two months for a complete Shopify migration: inventory, data transfer, theme, redirects, testing and launch. A large catalogue or an ERP connection can take longer.
Can we keep our customers, orders and reviews?+
Yes, in most cases. Products, customers and order history all carry over in a Shopify migration. Customer passwords do not transfer: your customers receive an invitation to activate their account.
Should we redesign the store during the migration?+
Not necessarily. A Shopify migration can keep the current look of your store or double as a redesign. Keeping the two apart lowers the risk: change platforms first, then improve the design.
Do you also migrate stores to Shopify Plus?+
Yes. A Shopify Plus migration follows the same method, with integrations, B2B catalogues and automation on top. See our Shopify Plus agency.
Why leave WooCommerce for Shopify?+
Businesses that leave WooCommerce often do so to stop managing hosting, plugins and security updates. Shopify takes care of that technical side. If your WooCommerce store sells well and stays easy to manage, we may also advise you to keep it.
