Shopify Migration

Replatform without losing your rankings.

Products, customers, orders, content and URLs moved onto Shopify with a redirect map that keeps the traffic you already earned.

Platforms

Where we move stores from.

The mechanics differ, the discipline does not: audit the data, map every URL, rehearse the cutover.

WooCommerce

Variable products, custom fields and plugin logic rebuilt as native Shopify features.

Magento

Complex catalogues, customer groups and B2B pricing translated to Shopify Plus.

BigCommerce

Straight catalogue and customer transfer with a redesign in the same window if you want one.

Custom platforms

Bespoke or legacy systems exported, cleaned and normalised before import.

Shopify to Shopify

Store consolidation, market splits and a clean rebuild off an unmaintainable theme.

Data clean-up

Deduplication, taxonomy fixes and metafield structure — the part most migrations skip.

SEO safety

The redirect map is the whole job.

Every indexed URL is inventoried before launch and mapped one-to-one. We monitor rankings and crawl errors daily for the first month and fix drift immediately.

Thirty days of daily rank, crawl and conversion monitoring.

Questions

Before you ask.

Will we lose search traffic?

A well-mapped migration usually sees a small dip for two to three weeks, then recovery. Losses come from missing redirects — which is why the map is built first.

Can we redesign at the same time?

Yes, and it is often cheaper. It does make attribution harder, so we agree up front how success will be measured.

How long does it take?

A straightforward catalogue is four to six weeks. Complex B2B or multi-store setups run eight to twelve.
