Shopify migration services Shopify migration
Shopify migration
and 2.0 upgrades
Migrations don’t usually fail on the data — they fail on the details most agencies skip. URLs change and rankings vanish, order history goes missing, and integrations quietly break the week after launch. Our Shopify migration services treat the move as a project, not a data export: every old URL mapped to its new home, every order and customer carried across, every integration rebuilt and tested before you go live.
We migrate to Shopify from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, PrestaShop, OpenCart, Wix, Squarespace, Salesforce Commerce Cloud or a fully custom platform — and we upgrade legacy Shopify stores to Online Store 2.0. Fixed pricing, no surprise costs, and a team that’s still here after launch: we build it, run it and answer when you message.
What’s in scope
What a Shopify migration includes
-
Full data migration
Products, variants, collections, customers and complete order history transferred with their integrity intact, not a lossy CSV dump.
-
URL mapping and 301 redirects for every page
Every old URL mapped to its new Shopify equivalent before launch, so you migrate to Shopify without losing rankings.
-
Metadata and on-page SEO preserved
Titles, meta descriptions, H1s and image alt text carried across, structured data rebuilt.
-
Integrations rebuilt
ERP, CRM, accounting, fulfilment, email and analytics reconnected and tested, not left to break post-launch.
-
Theme build or 2.0 upgrade
A new store or a legacy Shopify to Online Store 2.0 upgrade with editable sections.
-
Zero-downtime cutover and post-launch monitoring
Staged and tested so customers never see a broken store, then watched in Search Console for the weeks that matter.
The differentiator
The part most agencies skip — redirect mapping
This is where migrations lose traffic. Shopify enforces its own URL structure —
/products/, /collections/, /pages/, /blogs/ — so your URLs will change, whether you plan for it or not. Every old address needs a 301 redirect to its exact new equivalent, with no redirect chains and nothing left pointing at a dead page.We crawl your entire current site, build a complete old-to-new URL map, implement the 301 redirects, resubmit your sitemap, and monitor Google Search Console after launch to catch anything that slips. It’s unglamorous work, and it’s the single biggest reason a migration keeps its rankings instead of losing them.
- Full site crawl
- Old-to-new URL map
- 301 redirects
- No redirect chains
- Sitemap resubmission
- Search Console monitoring

Shopify Data and rankings intact
Migrating to Shopify Plus — when the move and an upgrade to Plus make sense together.
Already on Shopify
Legacy Shopify? The Online Store 2.0 upgrade
Already on Shopify but on an old theme? A Shopify 2.0 upgrade moves you to Online Store 2.0 — editable sections on every page, faster load, better structured data and a store your team can actually update without a developer. We upgrade the theme, preserve your content and URLs, and hand it back cleaner than we found it.
- Editable sections on every page
- Faster load
- Better structured data
- Updates without a developer

Three situations we’re built for
Stores on outdated Shopify themes

Shopify migration — FAQ
The questions merchants ask before they move
How do I migrate to Shopify without losing SEO?
Crawl every existing URL, map each one to its new Shopify address, and implement 301 redirects before launch. Preserve titles, meta descriptions and H1s, rebuild structured data, resubmit your sitemap, and monitor Search Console after cutover. Done properly, rankings hold; skipped, they drop.
Will migrating to Shopify hurt my rankings?
There can be a short-term dip, but with complete 301 redirects and preserved metadata most stores recover within weeks. Ranking loss comes from missing redirects and lost on-page SEO — both preventable — not from Shopify itself.
Do I have to change my URLs when I move to Shopify?
Yes. Shopify enforces /products/, /collections/, /pages/ and /blogs/ prefixes, so URLs change. That’s exactly why a complete old-to-new redirect map is non-negotiable — every old link needs a 301 to its new equivalent.
How long does a Shopify migration take?
It depends on catalogue size and integrations. A small store can move in a couple of weeks; a large catalogue with custom integrations takes longer. We give you a fixed timeline in the migration plan before any work starts.
Will my store be down during the migration?
No. We build and test on a staging store and cut over with zero downtime, so customers keep shopping throughout and never see a broken store.
Can you keep my order history and customer data?
Yes. Products, variants, customers and full order history are transferred with their integrity intact — not a lossy export — so your reporting and customer accounts carry straight over.
