Shopify Migrations.
Move platforms without losing ground.
Migrations to Shopify from Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud or custom platforms, and upgrades from vintage themes to Online Store 2.0. Products, customers, orders and search rankings are planned for, not hoped for.
Built for established brands doing $100K+ a year in online sales.
What gets moved, and how it is proven.
| Specification | Deliverable | Acceptance |
|---|---|---|
| Data migration | Products, variants, collections, customers, orders, gift cards and reviews mapped field by field. | Reconciled counts |
| SEO continuity | Full URL inventory, 301 redirect map, metadata, structured data and internal links carried across. | Redirect test suite |
| Theme & OS 2.0 | Sections-everywhere templates, metafields and JSON templates replacing hard-coded layouts. | Editor-ready |
| Cutover plan | A rehearsed launch sequence with a content freeze window, DNS steps and a rollback plan. | Signed-off runbook |
Every legacy field gets a destination, a transformation rule and an owner, so nothing quietly disappears in transit.
Rehearse it before it counts.
We run at least one full rehearsal migration into a staging store, then compare record counts, spot-check data and crawl the redirects before the real cutover is scheduled.
Launch day becomes a checklist rather than an experiment: freeze, final delta import, redirects live, DNS switch, monitoring on.

From the journal: Why every migration gets a dress rehearsal.
From first question to final commit.
Audit
Read the system before rewriting it. Catalogue, code, customers, constraints.
Architect
Make the important decisions early. Data flows, dependencies, delivery plan.
Build
Small, reviewable changes. Clean code, shared context, visible progress.
QA
Test the complete journey. Devices, accessibility, integrations, edge cases.
Ship
Rehearse the launch. Redirects, rollback plan, monitoring, sign-off.
Support
Keep the system healthy. Document, measure, maintain and improve.
Not extras. Acceptance criteria.
A few things, clarified.
Will we lose our Google rankings?
Any migration carries some risk, which is why we inventory every indexed URL, map redirects one by one, keep metadata and test the redirects before launch. We then monitor Search Console closely after cutover.
Can you migrate order history and customer accounts?
Yes. Historical orders and customer records can be imported. Passwords cannot be migrated for security reasons, so we plan a customer account activation flow.
How long does a migration take?
It depends on catalogue size, data quality, integrations and design scope. We estimate after an audit, with the rehearsal and cutover dates fixed in the plan.
What is an Online Store 2.0 migration?
Moving an older theme to Shopify's sections-everywhere architecture, so your team can build and rearrange pages in the editor without developer help.

A new store. A difficult migration. The thing your current stack can’t do.
