Outgrown WooCommerce plugins, Squarespace limits or Wix workarounds? I move stores to Shopify carefully — products, customers, order history, URLs and SEO — while your current store keeps selling until launch day. From a developer with live Shopify stores in his portfolio.
Get my migration quote See the process →Updates that break checkout, hosting that slows down on sale days, and a stack of plugins nobody fully understands. Shopify takes hosting, security and checkout off your plate.
Great for getting started, but limiting once you need better product options, subscriptions, wholesale, multi-currency or a serious app ecosystem.
Many brands move to Shopify for its theme and app ecosystem, simpler day-to-day admin and the large pool of Shopify-savvy help available.
Broken links from old URLs. Missing variants. Customers who can't log in. Analytics that stop tracking on launch day. A careful Shopify migration service is mostly about the details nobody notices until they go wrong — so I check them all.
Titles, descriptions, prices, SKUs, variants, images, inventory, collections and tags, cleaned up on the way in.
Customer records and addresses, with an activation email so accounts work smoothly on Shopify.
Past orders imported so you and your customers keep a full purchase record.
Every important old product, category and page URL mapped to its new Shopify home.
Page titles, meta descriptions, alt text, blog posts and structured data carried over.
Analytics, pixels, email marketing, reviews and shipping set up and tested before launch.
I audit your current store: catalog size, product options, apps, URLs, traffic and what ranks. You get a fixed quote and a list of what will and won't move.
I set up your Shopify store and theme — a customized existing theme or a new design — with payments, shipping and taxes configured.
Products, customers and orders imported, then spot-checked against the old store: prices, variants, images and inventory.
A full redirect map built and loaded, metadata carried over, and analytics and pixels connected.
Real test purchases through checkout, emails and fulfillment, on desktop and mobile, before anything goes public.
We switch the domain on a quiet day. I watch for broken links and Search Console errors, and support you free for 30 days.
Store audit, fixed quote, Shopify store created and theme work started.
Data imported and checked, redirects mapped, apps and tracking connected.
Test orders, your final approval, domain switch and post-launch monitoring.
Fixed quote after I review your store. Need a fresh design too? Shopify theme work starts at $750 and new online stores from $2,500. No surprise invoices, no lock-in contracts.
I've built and customized live Shopify stores for Katin USA, Scarlet, Viviva Colors and Tribe Organics, and WordPress sites for Scratch Pet Food and eDispatches. I know where data lives on both platforms.
Migrations start at $1,500. The final price depends on the number of products and variants, how much customer and order history you want to bring across, and whether you need a new theme or design. I review your current store first and then give you a fixed quote.
Moving platforms always carries some SEO risk, because URLs change. I reduce it by mapping every important old URL to its new Shopify URL with 301 redirects, carrying over page titles, meta descriptions and image alt text, and checking Search Console after launch. Short-term movement can happen, but a careful migration protects the rankings you've earned.
No platform lets you move customer passwords, because they are stored encrypted. Customer accounts, names, emails and addresses come across, and customers set a new password the first time they log in. I can help you send a friendly account activation email so it feels deliberate rather than broken.
No. I build and test the new Shopify store while your current store keeps selling. The switch happens on a launch day we agree on, usually at a quiet time, and the domain change itself typically takes effect quickly.
Most migrations take 2 to 4 weeks from the store review to launch. Very large catalogs, complex product options or a full custom theme can take longer, and you'll get a clear timeline with your quote.
Yes. Squarespace to Shopify, Wix to Shopify and BigCommerce to Shopify migrations follow the same process as WooCommerce. What can be exported differs a little by platform, and I'll tell you exactly what will and won't move during the store review.
A migration is a good moment to fix the store, not just move it. These services pick up where the move leaves off.
Send me your store link. I'll review it and reply with a fixed migration quote.
