Platforms We Migrate From

Moving from any platform to Shopify.

Every platform has different data structures, URL patterns, and export formats. We have migrated from all of these - the approach is proven, not improvised.

WC
WooCommerce
Most common migration. Products, variations, orders, customers, blog posts, and ACF metafields all transferred.
MG
Magento 1 & 2
Complex product catalogs, customer groups, tiered pricing, and B2B attributes - all mapped to Shopify equivalents.
OC
OpenCart
Products, manufacturers, categories, and order history exported via database direct access and mapped to Shopify CSV format.
PS
PrestaShop
Full catalogue and customer migration. URL structure mapping for SEO preservation - PrestaShop URLs are very different from Shopify.
CS
Custom PHP / CI4 / Laravel
Direct database migration - we read your schema, map to Shopify fields, and import via API. We built many of these ourselves.
OT
Other platforms
BigCommerce, CS-Cart, OsCommerce, Shopware, or any platform with a database or export API. We assess and scope before committing.
Why Migrations Go Wrong

Six things that break in a Shopify migration when you rush it.

A DIY migration or an agency that has not done this before will miss at least three of these. Each one costs you in traffic, revenue, or customer trust.

SEO rankings drop overnight

Your WooCommerce URLs look like /product/blue-kurta. Shopify uses /products/blue-kurta. Without 301 redirects, every indexed URL returns 404. Google sees a brand new site. Rankings built over years disappear in days.

Product images not transferred or broken

Images still pointing to the old server. The old server gets switched off. Every product listing shows broken images. A proper migration uploads all images to Shopify CDN before the old server goes offline.

Customer passwords cannot transfer

Passwords are hashed and platform-specific - they cannot be migrated. If customers are not told in advance that they need to reset their password, they think their account is lost. This needs a planned communication before cutover.

Product variants mapped incorrectly

Shopify supports 3 options and 100 variants per product. WooCommerce and Magento often have more. Complex variant structures need to be restructured - not just imported blindly - or products break at checkout.

Payment and shipping not configured before go-live

The store looks perfect but checkout does not work. Razorpay not connected, shipping zones not set, tax settings incorrect. Orders start coming in on the new Shopify store - and failing at payment. Hours of lost revenue.

Order history not migrated - lost for accounting

Historic orders left on the old platform. Your GST filings, customer purchase history, and loyalty programme data all depend on order history. Once the old server goes, it is gone unless explicitly migrated.

Full Data Transfer

Everything that moves from your old store to Shopify.

Products, variants, and SKUs
Title, description, price, compare-at price, weight, barcode, inventory levels, and all variant options.
Product images - uploaded to Shopify CDN
All product and variant images downloaded and re-uploaded to Shopify CDN. No dependency on old server.
Collections and categories
Manual and smart collections created. Products assigned to correct collections. Collection images transferred.
Customer accounts and addresses
Name, email, phone, shipping addresses, and tags. Password reset email sent to all customers post-migration.
Order history
Historic orders with line items, customer, shipping address, total, and status. Essential for accounting and customer support.
Blog posts and pages
Blog articles, static pages, and their URLs - migrated and 301 redirected from old paths.
301 redirects for every URL
Every product, collection, blog, and page URL from the old site mapped to its Shopify equivalent or closest match.
Metafields and custom attributes
Custom product data - fabric, size guide, care instructions, specifications - mapped to Shopify metafields.
Also Included

Beyond data - what we set up on the new store.

Theme setup and customisation
Existing design replicated on a Shopify theme or a new theme selected and configured to match your brand.
Payment and shipping configuration
Razorpay, Shiprocket, or your preferred gateway connected and tested before go-live. Shipping zones, rates, and tax settings configured.
SEO setup on Shopify
Meta titles, descriptions, canonical tags, sitemap submission to GSC, and Google Analytics + Meta Pixel reinstalled.
App installation and configuration
Review apps (Judge.me), email marketing, loyalty, upsell - all equivalent apps set up on Shopify.
Pre-launch QA checklist
40-point checklist - checkout, payment, email notifications, mobile, page speed, redirects, analytics, and fulfilment - all verified before DNS switches.

Shopify Partner agency. As a Shopify Partner we have access to development stores, Shopify support priority, and Partner-only resources for complex migrations. You get a better migration because of the relationship, not just the technical skill.

Client Work

Shopify migrations we have completed.

Every migration below was planned, executed, and validated in-house. Data counts, redirect maps, and QA checklists on record.

All work
After the Migration

What changes once the store is on Shopify.

A migration is not just a data transfer, it is a platform change. These are the things the new store does that the old one could not.

No more plugin conflicts

On WooCommerce a plugin update can take the checkout down. Shopify hosts the platform, so an app failing does not take the store with it, and there is no stack to patch on a Friday night.

A checkout you do not maintain

Shopify's checkout is built and tested by Shopify, with UPI and cards through Razorpay live before DNS is switched. Nothing to keep PCI compliant, nothing to rebuild when a gateway changes its API.

Images and speed handled for you

Every product image is re-uploaded to Shopify's CDN during the migration, served in modern formats at the right size, from a network you do not pay for or configure.

Migration Process

How we migrate without downtime.

1
Audit & scope

We audit your existing platform - product count, order history, URL structure, custom data, and third-party integrations. Scope document produced before work starts: exactly what will be migrated, how, and in what sequence.

2
Shopify setup & theme

Development store created. Theme selected and customised to match your existing design or new direction. Payment, shipping, tax, and apps configured and tested on the development store.

3
Data migration & validation

All data exported, transformed, and imported to Shopify. Product count validated. Order totals checked. Images confirmed on CDN. 301 redirect map built and uploaded. QA checklist run on the development store.

4
DNS cutover & monitoring

Old store remains live until DNS switches. DNS TTL lowered 24 hours before. Cutover at a low-traffic window. GSC recrawl requested immediately. Uptime monitoring active from cutover. Old server kept for 7 days as fallback.

FAQ

Questions about Shopify migration.

Not sure if migration is right for you? Tell us about your current platform and we will give an honest recommendation.

Plan My Migration
Will our site go down during the migration?
No. Your old store remains live throughout the entire migration. We build and test the Shopify store on a development URL. Only when everything is validated - data, checkout, payments, redirects - do we switch the DNS. The window where neither store is fully live is typically under 15 minutes during DNS propagation, and we schedule this at 2–3 AM IST to minimise impact.
Will we lose our Google rankings?
Not if the 301 redirects are set up correctly - and that is our most critical migration step. We build a complete URL map from your old site to Shopify before any DNS change. Every product, collection, blog, and page URL gets a 301 redirect to its Shopify equivalent. We then submit an updated sitemap to Google Search Console immediately after cutover. Urbaneigh saw zero ranking drop through their migration.
What happens to customer passwords?
Passwords cannot be migrated - they are hashed with platform-specific algorithms. We migrate all customer data (name, email, address, order history) but not passwords. Shopify sends a password reset invite email to all migrated customers automatically. We plan this communication as part of the migration so customers are not surprised - it is framed as a store upgrade, not a security issue.
Can we keep our existing domain?
Yes. Your domain stays the same - we add it to Shopify and point the DNS records to Shopify servers. The domain registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.) stays the same. We handle the DNS record changes as part of the cutover process. SSL is provisioned by Shopify automatically once the domain is connected.
How many products can you migrate?
No hard limit - we have scoped migrations up to 10,000 SKUs. The approach changes at scale: very large catalogues are migrated in batches via the Shopify API rather than CSV import, which handles rate limits and validation better. The timeline and cost scale with product count - we scope accurately before committing to a price.
What Shopify plan do we need?
For most Indian D2C and wholesale brands, Shopify Basic (Rs 1,994/month) or Shopify (Rs 7,447/month) is sufficient. Shopify Plus is for high-volume stores (typically 10,000+ orders/month) needing custom checkout, B2B features, and dedicated support. We recommend the right plan based on your order volume and feature requirements - not upsell.
