    Shopify Migration Services

    Move your store onto Shopify without losing the orders, customers and search rankings you already have.

    Store owners come to us worried about the same three things: the orders, the customer accounts and the Google rankings they spent years building. So our Shopify migration services are planned around those. Every product address gets a new home before the theme is built, and the switch is rehearsed first.

    Why Suff Digital

    Shopify migration experts who are still here after launch.

    Choosing a Shopify migration agency comes down to who picks up the phone in launch week. Here it is the senior person who scoped the work, and we will say when a move is not worth making.

    What Our Shopify Migration Services Include

    Shopify data migration is only half the job. The other half is making sure customers and Google can still find everything afterwards.

    (06)

    Products, variants and stock codes moved across

    Your catalog mapped into Shopify's product structure, with every duplicate stock code and oversized option set listed before the first import.

    A redirect for every address you have today

    One Shopify destination for every product, category, page and file, starting with the pages that bring traffic and carry links.

    Customers, orders and lifetime value

    Accounts, addresses and past orders carried over, so your team can answer a customer question and your reporting knows your best buyers.

    A decision on every app you use today

    Each app gets a Shopify equivalent, a rebuild inside the theme, or removal, with the content it holds identified first.

    Checkout, tax and shipping proved with real orders

    Payment methods, tax rules and shipping rates set up, then tested with live orders including a refund, before a customer sees the store.

    Templates checked against your old pages

    Product, category and content templates compared with the old store field by field, so titles and content depth do not thin out.

    Problems we solve

    What goes wrong when a store moves to Shopify

    What costs store owners money when migrating to Shopify, and what we do about each one.

    Diagnose my site
    01

    Every product and collection URL changes

    Shopify puts its own wording in front of product and collection addresses, so your current URL structure cannot be kept, whatever platform you are leaving. Every address Google indexed changes on the same day. We write the redirect list in week one.

    02

    Your design has to be rebuilt, not moved

    No platform hands its layouts to another, so the storefront is rebuilt in a Shopify theme. The risk is that a rebuild quietly drops what made pages sell: the buying guide, the size table, the badges near the buy button.

    03

    Customers who cannot log in on day one

    Accounts, addresses and order history all move across. Passwords never do, because they are stored scrambled in a form the new store cannot read. Every returning customer sets a new one, so we plan the email that warns them.

    04

    Content that lives inside a plugin or an app

    Size guides, care instructions and specification tables often sit inside an app rather than in the product record. The export brings the product across and leaves that content behind, so pages that ranked because they answered questions arrive thin.

    05

    Subscriptions that quietly stop billing

    Repeat orders run on saved payment details tied to your current provider, and those almost never transfer between platforms. Subscribers either stop being charged or get charged twice, and you hear about it by email, not from a report.

    06

    Reviews and star ratings on the wrong products

    Reviews, ratings and photos usually live in a separate app that ties them to your old product IDs. Move them without a matching list and they attach to the wrong items, taking your Google star ratings with them.

    Our Shopify Migration Process

    (06)
    Phase 01
    Week 1

    We find out what you actually have

    We export your catalog and crawl your live store, then compare the two. That comparison is where the surprises are: content inside apps, product pages nothing links to, addresses no export lists.

    Phase 02
    Weeks 1 to 2

    We map every old address to a new one

    Every product, category, page and file gets one Shopify destination, with its traffic and incoming links attached so you can see what is at stake. You approve the list before theme work starts.

    Phase 03
    Weeks 2 to 4

    We build the store on a test copy first

    Theme, catalog, categories and content go onto a development store. We crawl it and compare it with your live site for titles, product information, links and content depth.

    Phase 04
    Week 4

    We set up payments and tax, then lock them

    Payment methods, tax rules, shipping rates and any subscription re-approval get configured and frozen. We place real test orders, refund one, and confirm the order email and sales tracking both fire.

    Phase 05
    Launch day

    We switch over during your quietest hour

    We pick the hour from your own order pattern, pause orders briefly, publish the redirects and point your domain at Shopify. The point at which we would put you back is agreed first.

    Phase 06
    Weeks 5 to 8

    We compare your orders with the old store

    For the first month we set orders, visits and Google coverage against the numbers from before the move. Any gap gets a named cause: an unmapped address, a bad redirect, or broken tracking.

    Get started
    The rankings you already earned

    Your product pages already rank. Shopify changes every one of their addresses.

    Shopify migration services do not find you new customers. They move a store that already has them, and every page bringing you traffic today lands at a new address. What you are protecting is not the store. It is the years of rankings and links pointing at the addresses you are about to retire.

    Every old address matched to one Shopify address, ranked by traffic and links
    A short category list, so one product is not reachable at five addresses
    Content sitting inside apps rather than the product record, found before export
    What the move puts at risk

    What a Shopify migration puts at risk, and where we stand on each.

    If the switch breaches the limits we agree beforehand, we put you back on your old store using the rollback we already ran in rehearsal. The call is yours.

    Shopify Migration Deliverables

    What our Shopify migration services move across, what you get before we build, and how we prove the store works.

    Month One
    What moves across
    Moving off Wix — Products, pages and blog posts come across with some reshaping. The design does not, and anything running through a Wix app needs a replacement.
    Moving off Square — Catalog, stock levels and customer records come across cleanly. In-person sales history stays in Square, and booking flows are replaced rather than moved.
    Moving off WooCommerce — Products, variants, customers and orders come across with a matching list of IDs. Plugin-held content, custom fields and subscription payment details do not.
    Moving off Magento — Catalog and customer data come across. Attribute sets flatten into Shopify's simpler option model, and filtered category addresses collapse into a shorter list.
    Moving off BigCommerce — Products, price lists and customers come across. Customer group pricing is rebuilt with Shopify's own tools, and larger option sets need restructuring.
    Months 2-3
    Pre-build migration plan
    The redirect list — Every address you have today with its Shopify destination, ranked by traffic and by links, plus every page you chose to retire.
    The catalog report — Duplicate stock codes, option sets that overflow Shopify's limits and fields with no Shopify equivalent, listed before import.
    Shopify app replacement plan — Every app on your store with its Shopify equivalent, theme rebuild or removal, plus the content it is holding today.
    Ongoing
    How we prove it worked
    The test store next to your live one — Both crawled and compared side by side, with every difference grouped by the template that caused it.
    The timed rehearsal of launch day — The full switch run against a test store, rollback included, so the order pause has a measured length.
    Weekly order and traffic comparisons — Orders, visits and Google coverage against the numbers from before the move, weekly for the first month, with a cause for anything missing.

    See what moves and what does not before you commit.

    Every quote for our Shopify migration services starts with what ports across and what has to be rebuilt, because the rebuild is what you are paying for. Moves like these run from $2,500 to $75,000. A small startup catalog leaving Wix or Square sits at the lower end; a Shopify Plus store with wholesale pricing, custom checkout rules and years of app content to replace sits at the top.

    Frequently asked questions

    Common Questions

    It depends on whether Wix is holding you back. If your catalog is small and nothing is fighting you, Wix is fine and moving costs money for no return. It becomes worth it once you can name something you cannot do: stock across several locations, subscriptions, wholesale pricing, or an app only Shopify has. And yes, you can switch from Wix to Shopify. Products, pages and posts come across, the design is rebuilt, every URL changes.
