Shopify Migration Without Losing Traffic or Data
Migrations fail in predictable ways: missing redirects, mangled product data, and a rankings drop nobody planned for. We treat the redirect map and data integrity as first-class deliverables, not cleanup after launch.
What you get
- Full product, variant, customer, and order data migration with verification
- A complete URL-to-URL redirect map from the old platform
- Metadata, structured data, and internal links carried across
- A staged store you review before anything goes live
- Post-launch monitoring of indexing and crawl errors
Platforms we migrate from
We handle moves from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Squarespace, Wix, and custom builds, plus Shopify to Shopify Plus upgrades and store consolidations.
Protecting your search visibility
This is where most migrations go wrong. Old URLs rarely map one to one onto Shopify's structure, and unredirected pages take their rankings with them.
- Full crawl of the existing site before anything changes
- Every indexed URL mapped to its Shopify equivalent with a 301
- Titles, descriptions, headings, and image alt text carried over
- Structured data rebuilt on the new templates
- Sitemap resubmitted and coverage monitored after launch
Data integrity
Products, variants, inventory, collections, customers, order history, and blog content all move, and we reconcile counts against the source before sign-off. Custom fields become metafields or metaobjects rather than being dropped.
Launch day
We plan the cutover around your lowest traffic window, verify DNS, redirects, checkout, payments, taxes, and shipping on the live domain, then watch Search Console and analytics closely through the first weeks.
How the engagement runs
Inventory
Crawl the current site, catalog every URL, integration, and data type in scope.
Build
Set up the Shopify store, migrate data into a staged environment, build the redirect map.
Verify
Reconcile data counts, test checkout and tax, and review the redirect map line by line.
Cut over and monitor
Launch in a low-traffic window, then track indexing, crawl errors, and revenue.
Who this is a good fit for
- Stores on WooCommerce or Magento tired of maintenance and hosting overhead
- Brands moving to Shopify Plus or consolidating multiple storefronts
- Anyone who lost traffic in a previous migration and wants it done properly
