Scope
What this service covers.
Moving to Shopify from WooCommerce, Magento, OpenCart, BigCommerce, or a custom platform is far more than a product CSV. Customer accounts and password-reset flows, historic orders, product variants, metafields, tax and shipping zones, and payment-provider switching all have to carry across correctly, and the URLs that earned your search rankings have to redirect one to one so you do not lose traffic on launch day.
SEO-preserving redirects
Every old URL is redirected one to one to its Shopify equivalent so rankings, backlinks, and traffic survive the replatform.
Customers and historic orders
Customer records migrate with password-reset flows, since password hashes do not carry across, alongside historic orders for support and reporting continuity.
Tax, shipping, and payments
Tax zones, shipping rules, and payment-provider configuration are rebuilt and reconciled against the old store rather than assumed.
Rehearsed cut-over
A full dry run on a development store, then a live cut-over with a checklist covering redirects, DNS, payments, and post-launch verification.
Post-launch verification
We monitor for 404s, checkout errors, and indexing changes immediately after launch and fix regressions while the migration is fresh.

Common questions
Planning the work.
01Will migrating to Shopify hurt our search rankings?+
Not if the redirects are done properly. The biggest SEO risk in any replatform is broken URLs, so we map every old URL to its Shopify equivalent with one-to-one redirects, preserve title and metadata structure where it makes sense, and monitor indexing after launch. Done this way, rankings typically hold through the move.
02Can you migrate customer accounts and historic orders?+
Yes. Customers migrate with a password-reset flow because password hashes cannot transfer between platforms, and historic orders come across so support and reporting stay intact. We reconcile counts against the source store so nothing is silently dropped.
03How do you avoid downtime during the switch?+
We rehearse the migration as a dry run on a Shopify development store first, then run the live cut-over from a checklist that has already been tested. DNS, redirects, and payments are sequenced so the storefront stays available, and we verify checkout end to end before announcing the new store.
