We recently worked with Michele and the team to redesign and migrate to Shopify. Our site had well over a decade of data and content, and they managed to transfer it all efficiently, while making it look beautiful. Their design suggestions were spot on, and they were there every step of the way to answer questions and guide us through the process. We are so glad we made the move. Huge thanks to Michele and the team for their ongoing support even after launch, we really appreciate everything they have done for us.

Our Shopify migration experts process. We’ve got you covered. No Matter Where Your Coming From

1. Consultation & Analysis

Our tried and tested approach to Shopify migration starts from initial discovery, data architectural analysis. We conduct a thorough analysis of your existing online store, understanding its structure, data organisation, and unique features.

2. Scope & Planning

Navigating the transition to a new eCommerce platform can be intimidating. We’ll work closely with you or your team to decide exactly which content should be migrated to Shopify, and the content that shouldn’t. Based on our analysis, we develop a tailored migration plan that details each step needed to seamlessly transition your store to Shopify.

3. Data Migration

Our Shopify migration experts handle the migration of your data, which typically includes products, collections, pages, content marketing pages such as blogs, customer data, historical order data, and other essential information to Shopify, ensuring a smooth and accurate transfer.

4. SEO Migration

One of the biggest risks in Shopify migration is its impact on organic rankings. Shopify’s fixed URL structure often requires changes, making proper management essential. Our migration team, alongside SEO experts, ensures smooth transitions reatining or improving your current SEO with thorough crawling, strategic redirects, and SEO optimisation. We build Shopify stores to the highest technical SEO standards

5. Design and Customisation

Migrating to Shopify from a legacy platform can be a perfect opportunity to re-design your store experience to ensure you deliver the very best customer experience on Shopify. We help you recreate or improve your store’s design on the Shopify platform, ensuring a consistent and visually appealing customer experience.

6. Testing & Launch

Before your Shopify site goes live, we run a full end-to-end testing sequence to ensure everything performs seamlessly — from speed, SEO to integrations, payments, and fulfilment. We launch with confidence, monitor live performance, and provide ongoing support post-launch so you can manage your store with total confidence.

Shopify Migration Development Frequently Asked Questions

What is Shopify and how does it work?

Shopify is a powerful ecommerce platform that makes it easy for anyone to sell online, in-store, and across multiple channels. It comes packed with built-in tools like customisable themes, secure payment processing, and smart inventory management… everything you need to launch, run, and grow a successful online store.

Shopify provides a powerful, scalable platform with seamless integrations, customisable themes, built-in marketing tools, and top-tier support. Whether you need advanced design, custom apps, SEO optimization, or a smooth migration, Shopify offers everything to streamline and grow your eCommerce business.

We carefully plan and execute the migration to keep any downtime to an absolute minimum. If you have a global reach sometime there is lag between propagation times internationally, this is often out of our control as it depends on servers. Our team works with you to schedule the transition at the least disruptive time, ensuring a smooth switch with little to no impact on your customers and sales.

Shopify supports a wide range of integrations, often improving functionality over your current setup. During the scoping phase, we’ll review your current systems to determine if pre-built ‘plug-in connectors are available or if a custom integration is needed. Considering the popularity of Shopify, it likely integrates with your existing technology. If an exact match isn’t available, we’ll find the best alternative to keep your operations running smoothly.

Totally. We specialise in seamless migrations, ensuring your products, content, data, and SEO rankings are preserved and enhanced during the transition. Some of the platforms we migrate from are WooCommerce, Zeald’s Zest, Magento, but there are many more Legacy Shops that we deal with. Find out more about the steps needed

We migrate key store data,  including customer details, order history, email lists, price lists, payment options, categories, product information, images, SEO, customer navigation and buying journey. We take this opportunity to look at improving your conversions. Our team can tailor the Shopify Migration to suit your needs.

It depends on size, content, complexity of your project. A simple store might cost just a few thousand, while a mid-range site with more features usually lands between $10k–$20k. Larger enterprise builds can range from $50k up to $250k+. We’ll always give you a clear estimate upfront, tailored to your needs. The we provide a quote, set on clear set of deliverables so there are no hidden surprises along the way.

A very popular question! Again, it depends. A smaller site might be ready in a few days, 2-3 weeks, some projects take 1–3 months, and big, complex builds can run 6–12 months. During discovery, we’ll map out a realistic timeline with clear milestones. When we build you are kept updated with progress reports so you know exactly where things are at.

Absolutely! We follow a detailed process that ensures a clearly defined scope of work, eliminating any ambiguity. By asking the right questions, we not only help you clarify your project needs but also guide you in understanding which areas are most critical for your success. This way, you’ll have a comprehensive roadmap for the entire project, ensuring all objectives are met with precision.

WooCommerce, Zeald/Zest, Magento are some of the ecommerce we migrate from, but there are many more that we deal with. If you don’t see your cart mentioned here, speak to us and we’ll be able to guide you through the steps needed to get you onto Shopify from a legacy system.

Super important. You can absolutely retain your SEO rankings and URLs during migration. With proper redirects and a focus on SEO best practices, we ensure your new Shopify store keeps its search engine visibility and ranking.
