•Why Suff Digital
We move the store around the way you actually sell.
Ecommerce migration services have to protect revenue while the platform changes underneath it. We test the options against your catalog, rebuild the connections your store depends on, move the data in controlled batches and keep sales tracking tied to the old store's baseline.

What Our Ecommerce Migration Services Include
The work runs from the first look at your catalog to the first weeks of trading on the new platform.
(06)
•Your catalog tested against each platform
Products, options, price rules and product relationships run against every platform on the shortlist, so you choose with the answer in front of you.
•Customer accounts and order history moved across
Accounts, addresses and past orders come across matched by ID, so support history and reporting still work on day one.
•Tax and currency set to match your current numbers
Tax rules, regional settings and currency handling rebuilt on the new platform, then checked against real past orders.
•Every page given a new address
Product, category and content pages mapped one to one where an equivalent exists, and given a deliberate decision where one does not.
•The systems your store talks to, reconnected
Warehouse, till, shipping, accounting and marketing connections rebuilt against the new platform and tested under real order volume.
•Sales tracking rebuilt and proven with real orders
Checkout, conversion tracking and refunds tested with live transactions, so the reports you make decisions on still mean the same thing.
•What goes wrong
The problems we solve when a store changes platform
Most replatforming damage shows up as lost sales, broken tracking or product data that looked fine until customers used it.
Diagnose my site •01
Your category and filter pages drop out of Google
A store with a few thousand products serves far more web addresses than that, because every filter and page of results has one. The new platform builds them differently, so pages that brought in visitors hit an error.
02
Imported product data with missing details
Your old store might hold five kinds of product option where the new one supports three, or your sizes might sit in a free text box and arrive as separate products. Row counts match, but customers can still receive the wrong thing.
03
Subscription customers stop being charged
Card authorizations belong to your payment provider and the account that created them, so subscriptions do not move by exporting a spreadsheet. Subscribers get missed or charged twice, and the first sign is a support ticket rather than an alert.
04
Product reviews and star ratings disappear
Reviews and ratings usually sit with a separate service that recognizes your products by their old ID numbers. Without a map from old IDs to new ones they attach to the wrong products or vanish, and the stars under your search listings go too.
05
Sales stop showing up in your reports
The new checkout fires different tracking events, or fires them from a page your tag setup does not cover. Orders keep arriving but stop being counted, so it looks like revenue fell off a cliff.
06
You oversell your fastest movers
Stock levels usually live in more than one place: the store, a warehouse system, sometimes a till in a shop. The connection that keeps them in step tends to get rebuilt last, and the counts drift apart under real orders.
Our Ecommerce Migration Process
(06)
Phase 01
Week 1
We list everything your store has and does
Products, options, price and promotion rules, every connected system and every piece of content that does not sit on a product page. We also crawl the live store to see which addresses Google knows about. The weeks shown against each step are an estimate. Your actual dates are agreed in the proposal, once we know how deep the catalog goes.
Phase 02
Weeks 1-2
We map the catalog and the web addresses
Your options, attributes and product relationships get matched to the new platform's structure, with every place they do not fit written down. You approve that and the address map before anyone builds.
Phase 03
Weeks 2-5
We build the new store and compare it with the old one
The catalog imports in batches with a check after each one. Then we compare the result with your live store for page titles, descriptions, content and internal links. Fixes go into the template, so one change repairs every product on that layout.
Phase 04
Week 5
We place real test orders, including a refund
Orders run all the way through: checkout, payment, tax, shipping handoff, confirmation email and a refund, with tracking watched throughout. A failure here is a configuration problem. The same failure after launch is a revenue problem.
Phase 05
Launch day
We switch over in a planned quiet window
Redirects go live, the domain switches, and we watch orders, completed checkouts and error codes against what we expect. The point at which we would put the old store back is agreed in writing beforehand.
Phase 06
Weeks 6-9
We compare your trading with the old store
Orders, conversion rate, average order value and search visibility measured weekly against your pre-move numbers. Each gap gets traced to a cause: a missing redirect, a broken tag and a slow re-crawl look identical on a revenue chart.
•The rankings you already have
Your category pages already bring in customers. A replatform decides how many keep doing it.
An ecommerce platform migration changes every address on the store at once: products, categories, filtered pages and images. How much that costs you is decided when you pick the destination, because the platform sets how much of your structure you can keep.
•
Your addresses are recorded from a crawl of the live store before the platform decision is final
•
Filtered pages that earn traffic get their own destinations rather than a blanket rule
•
Content held inside apps is found before export, so detailed pages do not arrive empty
•What the move puts at risk
Four ecommerce replatform risks, and how we handle each one.
We agree the thresholds before launch day and watch them through the window. If the store crosses one, we put the old store back, using the rollback we rehearsed beforehand.
•
Sales during the changeover. The window is timed from your own order pattern and rehearsed first
•
Rankings and traffic. Every address that earns visits gets a destination, including filtered pages
•
Your history. Order history and conversion tracking restart at zero unless they are carried across
•
The systems around the store. Warehouse, till, shipping and subscription payments are rebuilt early
Ecommerce Migration Deliverables
You get the platform recommendation, migration plan and launch checks in writing.
Month One
Which platform to move to
✓Which ecommerce platform is best for beginners? — For a first store the answer is usually a hosted platform: the vendor handles hosting, security updates, payment compliance and the checkout. Early on you are short of time rather than flexibility. Weigh the monthly fee against maintaining it yourself, then add what the apps you need cost.
✓When a self-hosted platform is the better fit — You want to own the database and query it, or you already run a site the store belongs inside. It also wins when your pricing rules would need several paid apps to imitate. The trade is control against maintenance.
✓When you have outgrown both — Several storefronts, multiple currencies, trade pricing tiers or a catalog deeper than a hosted plan will hold. At that point the platform fee is rarely the deciding number.
✓When the storefront needs its own front end — Your design needs more freedom than any theme allows, or you sell through several channels from one product source. That only pays off when the extra build has a clear owner and budget.
✓The shortlist, written down — The trade-off for each option in plain terms, what the apps you need cost, and our recommendation with the reasoning attached.
Months 2-3
Pre-build migration plan
✓Your catalog, mapped to the new platform — Every option, attribute and product relationship matched to its new home, with the ones that do not fit listed before import.
✓Every web address and where it lands — A one to one map covering product, category and content pages, including the filtered pages that earn traffic.
✓Integration rebuild plan for every connection — Each warehouse, till, shipping, accounting and marketing connection, with the test that proves it works.
Ongoing
Post-launch checks
✓What the test orders proved — A record of the live test transactions, refunds included, with tracking and the shipping handoff verified.
✓Your trading, compared with the old store — Orders, conversion rate and search visibility against your pre-move numbers, weekly, with every gap traced to a cause.

•Frequently asked questions
Common Questions
How complicated your catalog is matters more than how many products you have. A simple catalog with few connected systems moves in a handful of weeks. Deep product options, customer specific pricing and a warehouse connection push most of the schedule into mapping.
