Shopify migration services

Move to Shopify while the old store keeps trading

For merchants on WooCommerce, Magento or a custom platform who need to move to Shopify and keep their rankings and their order history. We handle the data, the redirects, the theme and the integrations, including the ERP, 3PL and CRM connections that have to keep working on launch day.

Happy clients

We audit the current store, write a scope with a fixed price, and build on a staging store while your old store keeps trading. Data moves across and is verified record by record. Every old URL gets a 301 redirect, and we test your top Search Console pages by hand. A final delta import catches the orders that came in meanwhile, and you launch on a day you choose.

After launch we watch Search Console for the first weeks and fix anything that moves. The people on the first call are the people who run the launch. We have migrated stores from WooCommerce, Magento and custom platforms, and Enibbana’s multi-brand storefront was one of them.

01What is included

What a migration includes

  1. 01Audit and migration mapWe go through the current store’s catalogue, customer accounts, order history, URL structure and apps, and write down what moves, what gets rebuilt and what gets dropped. That list becomes the fixed-price scope.
  2. 02Build on a staging storeThe new store is built on a Shopify staging store while the old one keeps selling. You click through collections, product pages and checkout as they are finished, weeks before anything is switched.
  3. 03Data moved record by recordProducts, variants, customers, orders and content come across and get checked record by record against the source. A final delta import on launch day picks up the orders and sign-ups that arrived during the build.
  4. 04A 301 for every URLEvery old product, collection, blog and page URL is mapped to its new Shopify URL with a 301 redirect. We then open Search Console, take the top-ranking pages, and test each redirect by hand.
  5. 05Apps and integrations rebuiltReviews, subscriptions, ERP syncs, 3PL feeds and CRM connections are rebuilt on Shopify before launch. Where an app on the old platform has no Shopify equivalent, we build the piece that is missing.
  6. 06Launch and the weeks afterYou pick the launch day. We run the final import, point the domain at Shopify, and then watch Search Console for the first weeks, fixing any crawl error or missed redirect as it shows up.
03How a project runs

Four steps, and you can see every one of them

  1. 01A 30-minute callWe look through your store before the call and come with questions about what is slowing it down, so the time goes on your store and not on a pitch.
  2. 02A written scope with a fixed priceWhat we will build, what it costs and when it starts, on one page. Most projects start within 3–5 business days of you saying yes.
  3. 03Build in the openA shared Slack channel, a staging store you can click through at any point, an update at least every 48 hours and a call every week.
  4. 04Launch, then stay closeWe launch, watch the first weeks of data and fix what the data says to fix. Most clients keep us on for the next thing.
