Export from any platform
Your data pulled through the platform's API, CSV exports, or the database, custom fields included.
The Problem
Your Cart Needs Constant Fixes and Nobody Knows It Anymore
It shows up when a plugin breaks, a developer leaves, or a simple change takes a week. Moving looks risky, so the fixes keep piling up.
01 · Stale software
Your cart software hasn't had a real update in two years.
Every field maps to Shopify before anything imports.
02 · Rising fixes
Every fix costs more than the last one.
Plugins get swapped for Shopify apps, and the theme gets rebuilt.
03 · Old URLs
You don't know what happens to 3,000 product URLs.
Old product, category, and content URLs each point to their new page.
04 · Customer logins
You worry customers can't log in and reorder after launch.
Imports run products, then customers, then orders, so purchases link to accounts.
Your cart software hasn't had a real update in two years, and the developer who set it up has moved on. Every fix costs more than the last one. You've looked at Shopify and liked it, but the move feels like a black box. Which data comes over? What happens to 3,000 product URLs? Will customers still be able to log in and reorder the morning after launch?
We start with a sample export from your current platform and map every field to Shopify: products, variants, customers, orders, and pages. A full test import lands on a preview store, where you check counts, prices, and accounts. Then we build the theme, swap plugins for apps, and load a 301 for each page that moves. The launch date comes from your sign-off, not our schedule.
One map for every field
Products, variants, customers, and orders each get a Shopify home before anything imports.
Imports in the right order
Products, then customers, then orders, so every past purchase links to the right account.
Redirects for every old page
Old product, category, and content URLs point to their new Shopify pages with one 301.
Our Store Migration Process
From Sample Export to Live Shopify Store in Five Clear Steps
You see the field map, the redirect sheet, and a full test import before anything changes on your live store.
We pull a sample export from your platform and check what it holds: products, variants, customers, orders, and custom fields. You learn what moves cleanly and what needs rework. If Shopify's free Store Migration app can handle your store, we'll tell you before we quote.
What's Included
What You Get in a Full Shopify Data Migration
Every plan moves products, customers, and order history, redirects your old links, and ends with a supported launch. Bigger plans add design, plugins, and custom platforms.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built and relaunched ecommerce stores for.
We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture
Why Store Owners Trust Us With Their Move to Shopify
A migration touches every product, customer, and order you have. These habits keep the move predictable, whichever platform you're leaving.
Orders linked to buyers
Customers import before orders, so every past purchase lands in the right account. Reorders and order lookups work on day one.
Staff alerts muted during imports
We pause new-order emails while your history imports, then switch them back on. Your team's inbox doesn't fill with thousands of old orders.
Every plugin gets a successor
We list each plugin on your old store and name its Shopify replacement before the build. Nothing you rely on disappears quietly at launch.
Launch dates set by sign-off
We set the launch date after you approve the test store, not before. Busy weeks stay off the cutover calendar.
Honest about free tools
If Shopify's free Store Migration app or a CSV import covers your store, we'll tell you first. You pay us only for what those tools can't do.
Fixed scope, fixed price
You approve the field map, the redirect sheet, and one price before work starts. New surprises in your data get quoted before we touch them.

Good fit
Stores on custom or legacy carts
Your store runs on a custom or legacy cart, and no migration app or platform-specific page covers it.
Owners comparing agency quotes
You've asked three firms that each call themselves the top Shopify migration agency and want a quote listing every deliverable.
Stores with years of order history
Your customers reorder from their account history, so past orders must land in the right accounts after launch.
Marketplace sellers going direct
You sell on Etsy today and want your own Shopify store, with products and repeat customers carried over.
Agencies moving client stores
Your agency has client stores on older platforms and needs each move done under your brand.
Not a fit
Leaving a named platform
You're on Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace, or Wix. Each has its own migration page, linked below, with set prices for that platform.
Plus features needed
You need B2B company pricing, extra storefronts, or checkout extensions. Our Shopify Plus Migration Services page covers moves that need Plus.
Etsy or Square products only
You only need products and customers from Etsy or Square, with no redirects or design work. Shopify's free Store Migration app handles that.
Budget under $750
Your budget is under $750. A CSV import and a free Shopify theme can get a small catalog selling first.

Products, customers, orders, and subscriptions can all move, along with reviews, blog posts, and pages. Shopify's admin imports products and customers from CSV files, but historical orders need a migration app or the API. Subscriptions move through your subscription app, and saved cards carry over where your payment provider supports it.
We migrate from any platform that can export its data, including custom and legacy carts. Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace, and Wix each have their own page with set prices. For Etsy, PrestaShop, OpenCart, Square Online, and custom carts, we read a sample export first and quote from what it contains.
A move to Shopify with us costs $750, $2,400, or $5,200, depending on catalog size, platform, and design work. The $750 plan covers up to 250 products on a proven theme. The $2,400 plan covers catalogs up to 5,000 products, with your current design rebuilt. The $5,200 plan covers custom carts, large catalogs, and subscriptions.
Most stores make the switch in 3 to 12 weeks. A store under 250 products using a ready-made theme goes live in around 3 weeks. Larger catalogs, custom designs, and database exports from custom carts take longer. Your review of the test import usually sets the final date.
We keep rankings by pointing each old address to its closest Shopify page with a 301 and moving titles, descriptions, and copy unchanged. Shopify fixes its own paths, such as /products/ and /collections/, so most addresses change. Google advises keeping redirects for at least a year, and Shopify allows 100,000 of them on standard plans.
Our quote lists every deliverable: the field map, test import, record count checks, theme work, app replacements, redirect sheet, launch, and 30 days of support. It also names what's excluded, such as new photography, copywriting, or ongoing SEO. You approve one fixed price before any work starts.
Yes, since themes from other platforms can't run on Shopify. We rebuild your storefront in Liquid, either on a proven theme styled to your brand or from your own design files. For every plugin, we pick a replacement: an app, a native Shopify setting, or a small piece of custom code. Your payment provider carries over when Shopify supports it.
We test on a preview store loaded with your real data before your domain moves. Checks cover record counts, a sample of customer accounts, checkout, discounts, taxes, shipping rates, and order emails on phones and desktops. We also crawl the redirect sheet, and you sign off the test store before launch.
Every plan includes a 30-day support window once you're live. We watch 404s, orders, integrations, and Search Console, and fix what surfaces at no extra cost. Your team also gets a recorded admin walkthrough plus a handover sheet of apps, logins, and redirects, so nothing depends on us afterward.
Use the free Store Migration app when you only need products and customers from a supported platform such as Etsy, Square, WooCommerce, or Wix. It doesn't move order history, build redirects, or rebuild your theme. Hire help when rankings, past orders, or a custom design have to survive the move.
