Shopify Migration Agency
One destination, mapped before anything moves.
Start a projectThis is the Shopify-specific stop for a migration: the decision is already made, and you’re moving onto Shopify — off Magento, off WooCommerce, off BigCommerce, or off whatever cart came before it. The job from here is protecting what the old store already earned — rankings, order history, and customers — through the switch. That risk was never really about the destination platform. It’s the invisible work: the data model, the redirect plan, and the days right after cutover when search engines notice something changed.
If you’re still weighing Shopify against another destination, or want the full replatform methodology, that lives on our replatform pages — this page assumes Shopify’s already the call. From here, we extract your real data model instead of trusting a generic export, build the redirect map before your domain switches, carry customer accounts and order history into the new store, and track rankings through the cutover window itself. Narrower scope, same discipline as a full replatform.
Built and run, end to end.
Extracting data from your current platform
Magento, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce each store products, variants, and customer records differently, and none of them export cleanly into Shopify's data model. We pull directly from the source platform's database and APIs rather than trusting a generic export tool, so nothing gets flattened or dropped along the way.
Redirect mapping inside Shopify
Every platform Shopify replaces has a different way of building product and collection links, and Shopify won't preserve any of them automatically. We build the full redirect map ahead of the switch and set it up inside Shopify's own redirect tooling, then confirm it against a crawl once the new URLs are live.
Customers and order history carried forward
Buyers shouldn't have to create new accounts or lose their purchase history because the backend changed underneath them. We import customer records and past orders into Shopify so returning buyers land in an account that already knows them, not a blank slate that looks like day one.
Cutover with search visibility tracked
The days around a domain switch are when rankings actually move, for better or worse. We watch indexation and position through that window specifically, catching a missed redirect or a dropped page while it's a two-line fix instead of a quarter of lost traffic.
Questions, answered.
Which platforms do you migrate onto Shopify from?
Most often Magento, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce, along with older or homegrown carts that have hit their ceiling. The underlying work is similar regardless of source — extract the real data model, not a generic export — but each platform has its own quirks in how products, variants, and customer records are structured, and we scope for the one you're actually running.
Will we lose search rankings moving to Shopify?
Not if the redirect work happens before the domain switches, not after. Every live URL gets mapped to its Shopify equivalent and built into Shopify's redirect system ahead of the cutover, then we check indexation and rankings against a fresh crawl in the days that follow. Traffic loss on a migration is almost always a missed redirect, not something inherent to changing platforms.
Does our order history come over, or do customers start fresh?
It comes over. Past orders and customer records import into Shopify so a returning buyer sees their real history, not a new account with no memory of them. Loyalty balances or platform-specific extras sometimes need a workaround since Shopify's data model doesn't match every source system exactly, and we flag those cases up front.
What's the timeline for a Shopify migration?
For a mid-sized catalog, plan on six to ten weeks from data mapping through a monitored cutover — longer if the source platform carries heavy customization or a lot of integrations to rebuild. We'd rather give you a real number scoped to your catalog than a round figure that slips once the work starts.
