Migrating platforms is the most technically dangerous thing you can do to an ecommerce store — one wrong redirect and years of SEO rankings are gone overnight. We handle every migration with surgical precision: zero data loss, zero downtime, 100% SEO preservation. From any platform. Guaranteed.
We migrate from every major platform to Shopify
WooCommerce requires constant plugin updates, hosting management and security patches. Magento is expensive and complex. Wix and Squarespace cap what you can build. BigCommerce charges transaction fees. Every day on the wrong platform is a day of slower growth, higher overhead and more technical frustration.
Shopify is the world's most powerful ecommerce platform — built specifically to sell, scale and grow. Over 4.4 million stores run on Shopify for one reason: it works better than everything else.
Slow load times, poor mobile UX, limited app integrations and complex backend management are costing you conversions every day while your Shopify competitors grow faster with less effort.
Incorrect redirect mapping, lost meta data, broken canonical tags and missing sitemaps can wipe out years of organic rankings in days. Most platforms don't document migration properly and DIY migrations frequently lose 30–70% of organic traffic.
Product data, customer accounts, order history, reviews and wishlists accumulated over years cannot be recreated. Losing this data is not just a technical inconvenience — it destroys repeat purchase revenue and damages customer relationships permanently.
The most common platform pain points vs Shopify advantages
Every platform has unique data structures, URL conventions, SEO configurations and migration challenges. We have a specialist migration service built specifically for each one.
WooCommerce is the world's most used ecommerce plugin — but it comes with the burden of WordPress: slow performance, constant plugin updates, security vulnerabilities and unreliable hosting costs. Shopify replaces all of that with a faster, more secure, fully managed platform that consistently converts better. We migrate your entire WooCommerce store to Shopify with zero data loss and full SEO preservation.
We migrate every product with its images, variants, SKUs, descriptions, metafields and collections. Every customer account with purchase history is transferred intact. All historical orders are preserved in your new Shopify admin — nothing is lost, nothing is recreated manually.
WooCommerce and Shopify use different URL structures for products, categories and blog posts. We map every single WooCommerce URL to its Shopify equivalent and implement 301 redirects — preserving your Google rankings and ensuring no visitor ever hits a 404 page after launch.
Every critical WooCommerce plugin function is replicated in Shopify's app ecosystem. Subscriptions, reviews, wishlists, bundles, loyalty programmes, wholesale pricing — we map every feature to its Shopify equivalent and configure it before launch so your store launches with full functionality from day one.
Zero data loss. Full SEO preservation. Zero downtime.
Magento is powerful but brutally expensive to maintain — developer costs, server costs, security licensing and constant upgrade cycles regularly cost merchants £30,000–£100,000/year just to keep running. Shopify Plus delivers enterprise-grade ecommerce at a fraction of the total cost of ownership. We handle the most complex Magento migrations — including multi-store, B2B and custom extension replacement — with zero business interruption.
Magento's configurable products, custom attributes, tiered pricing, customer groups and B2B catalogues require specialist handling. We map every Magento product type to Shopify's equivalent structure — including metafields, variants and custom collection logic — without losing a single product attribute or pricing rule.
Magento stores often rely on costly custom extensions for B2B pricing, complex checkout logic, ERP integrations and custom fulfilment workflows. We audit every extension and build Shopify equivalents — using native Shopify Plus features, app replacements or custom Shopify app development where needed.
Magento multi-store setups are migrated to Shopify Plus's multi-store architecture — including separate storefronts for different regions, currencies and B2B vs B2C audiences. All automation, flows and Shopify Scripts are configured to replicate every custom business logic from your Magento setup.
Enterprise migration — zero data loss, full complexity handled
BigCommerce and Shopify are direct competitors — but Shopify's app ecosystem, theme quality, and ease of use consistently win for growing brands. BigCommerce's transaction fees and per-revenue tier pricing also make it increasingly expensive as your store scales. We migrate your BigCommerce store to Shopify in as little as 7 days — bringing every product, customer and order across without interrupting your trading.
BigCommerce uses a different variant structure to Shopify. We map all product variants, custom fields, product specifications, related products and option sets to Shopify's native product and metafield structure — ensuring every product displays exactly as it did on BigCommerce, or better.
As your store grows, BigCommerce's revenue-tiered pricing becomes increasingly costly. Moving to Shopify removes those revenue-based tier fees and replaces them with a flat platform fee — saving fast-growing stores hundreds to thousands of pounds per month in platform costs alone.
Most BigCommerce stores run on dated themes that don't convert well on mobile. We migrate your store to a premium Shopify 2.0 theme and configure it to match your branding — giving you a significantly better-looking, faster-loading store on day one of your Shopify launch.
Stop paying revenue tiers. Move to flat-rate Shopify.
Wix is built for websites first and ecommerce second — and it shows. Limited inventory management, basic checkout customisation, restricted app options and poor scalability make Wix a ceiling for any serious ecommerce brand. Shopify is built exclusively for selling. We migrate your Wix store to Shopify — unlocking the full power of the world's best ecommerce platform while keeping every product, page and customer intact.
Shopify gives you inventory management across multiple locations, 8,000+ dedicated ecommerce apps, professional checkout customisation, advanced discount logic, subscription products, B2B tools and Shopify Payments — none of which Wix can match. Your business doesn't outgrow Shopify.
We migrate all product pages, collection pages, about/contact pages, blog posts and FAQ content from Wix to Shopify — preserving copy, imagery and formatting. No manual retyping, no lost content, no rebuilding from scratch.
Wix mobile stores are notoriously poor performers — heavy, slow-loading and often visually broken on small screens. We build your Shopify store mobile-first, ensuring the 60%+ of your traffic that arrives on mobile has a fast, beautiful experience that actually converts.
Upgrade from a website builder to a real ecommerce platform
Squarespace store to Shopify completely — every product, page, blog post and customer record — without a single minute of downtime and with every SEO ranking protected through a complete 301 redirect mapping.
Squarespace caps checkout customisation, restricts payment providers and limits your product management options. On Shopify you get full checkout control, 100+ payment gateways, multi-location inventory, unlimited product variants and 8,000+ dedicated ecommerce apps — none of which Squarespace can offer.
We export every product, page, blog post and image from Squarespace and migrate it into Shopify with formatting, copy and imagery preserved. No content is lost, no pages are rebuilt manually — the full migration is handled programmatically to ensure accuracy at every record level.
Squarespace uses a unique URL structure for products, categories and blog posts. We map every Squarespace URL to its new Shopify equivalent and implement 301 redirects across your entire site — ensuring Google seamlessly transfers every ranking to your new Shopify store without ranking loss.
Move from a website builder to a dedicated ecommerce platform
Volusion has been in long-term decline — plagued by technical debt, outdated design capabilities, limited app integrations and well-documented financial instability. Merchants on Volusion are increasingly vulnerable to platform disruption and falling behind competitors who are growing on Shopify. We provide a fast, complete migration from Volusion to Shopify — preserving every product, order and customer record while upgrading you to the world's most powerful ecommerce platform.
We export your full Volusion product catalogue, customer database and order history — then rebuild the complete data architecture in Shopify. Every product attribute, pricing rule and category hierarchy is preserved and mapped to Shopify's native structure for an exact, functional recreation of your store.
Volusion's market share has been shrinking consistently for years. Migrating to Shopify is not just a technical upgrade — it's a business continuity decision. Shopify is the fastest-growing ecommerce platform with over 4.4 million active stores and billions invested in platform development annually.
Volusion's theme options are limited and dated compared to Shopify's rich marketplace of premium, conversion-optimised themes. As part of your migration, we configure your new store on a Shopify 2.0 theme that immediately looks and performs better — without requiring a full custom build.
Escape a declining platform — move to Shopify before it's too late
PrestaShop is a powerful open-source platform — but its hosting complexity, module ecosystem fragility, update conflicts and developer dependency make it expensive and time-consuming to maintain at scale. Shopify removes all of that infrastructure burden while delivering a superior commerce experience. We handle the full technical complexity of migrating your PrestaShop store — including custom modules, multi-language and multi-currency setups.
PrestaShop's multi-language and multi-currency capabilities are one of its strengths — and we migrate them fully to Shopify Markets or Shopify Plus's international selling features. Every translated product, localised price and regional tax rule is rebuilt in Shopify's native international architecture.
We audit every PrestaShop module your store depends on — from loyalty programmes to advanced product configurators to custom shipping calculators — and build or configure Shopify equivalents. Your Shopify store launches with identical functionality to your PrestaShop setup, plus the performance advantage of Shopify's managed infrastructure.
PrestaShop stores are frequently slow due to shared hosting, unoptimised modules and heavy database queries. Shopify's managed global CDN delivers sub-2 second load times on every device without any infrastructure management. Faster load times directly translate to higher conversion rates from day one on Shopify.
Full feature parity migration — multi-language, multi-currency supported
OpenCart gives merchants complete control — but complete control means complete responsibility. Server management, extension conflicts, security vulnerabilities, slow updates and developer dependency all come with that freedom. Shopify takes those burdens away entirely, giving you a faster, more secure, professionally maintained platform that grows with your business without the infrastructure headache.
OpenCart extensions are notorious for compatibility issues and security vulnerabilities. We audit every extension your store relies on — from advanced product options to custom checkout fields — and replace each one with a Shopify app equivalent or build a custom solution, ensuring your Shopify store launches with identical functionality.
OpenCart self-hosted stores require constant security patching and PCI compliance management. Every Shopify store is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant out of the box — the highest standard of payment security — with SSL included, automatic security updates and Shopify's $1 million fraud protection guarantee covering every transaction.
OpenCart's native analytics are basic. On Shopify, you get built-in revenue attribution, customer lifetime value tracking, product performance reports, GA4 integration and Shopify's own analytics dashboard — all working together to give you a complete picture of your store's performance from day one.
Ditch the server headache — move to fully managed Shopify
Etsy is a marketplace, not a business platform. Etsy owns your customer relationships, controls your visibility through its algorithm, can suspend your shop without warning and takes a commission on every single sale. Shopify gives you full ownership of your store, your customers and your revenue. We migrate your Etsy shop to a fully independent Shopify store — while keeping your Etsy listing active as an additional sales channel.
On Etsy, every customer belongs to Etsy — not to you. You cannot email them, retarget them or build a relationship with them outside of the Etsy platform. On Shopify, every customer is yours. You own their email, their purchase history and the ability to market to them directly — building real brand equity and repeat purchase revenue that compounds over time.
Etsy charges listing fees, transaction fees (6.5%), payment processing fees and advertising fees. On a £10,000/month Etsy shop that can easily represent £800–£1,200/month going straight to Etsy. Shopify's flat monthly fee and payment processing rates typically save scaling Etsy sellers hundreds of pounds per month from month one.
We don't ask you to close your Etsy shop on day one. We migrate everything to Shopify first, then configure Shopify's native Etsy sales channel integration so you can continue selling on Etsy while building direct Shopify revenue in parallel — reducing risk during the transition and maximising total sales throughout.
Stop renting space on Etsy — own your store, your customers, your revenue
3dcart rebranded to Shift4Shop in 2020 — but the platform's fundamental limitations in design quality, app ecosystem depth and mobile performance remained. Shift4Shop's free tier is tied exclusively to Shift4 Payments, creating a payment processor lock-in that affects your negotiating power and checkout conversion. Shopify gives you payment freedom, a vastly superior design ecosystem and the world's most trusted ecommerce infrastructure.
Shift4Shop's free plan requires exclusive use of Shift4 Payments — which may not offer the best rates for your business and limits your checkout options. Shopify supports 100+ payment gateways including Shopify Payments, Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Clearpay and hundreds of regional processors — giving you the flexibility to choose the best rates and checkout experience for your customers.
3dcart / Shift4Shop stores frequently underperform on mobile — slow render times, poor touch UX and dated checkout experiences. With over 60% of ecommerce traffic coming from mobile devices, this is a critical conversion problem. Shopify's mobile-first themes and optimised checkout deliver measurably higher mobile conversion rates from launch day.
We export your full 3dcart product catalogue — including all product variants, option sets, custom fields, inventory levels and category structure — and rebuild it precisely in Shopify's native architecture. Every product arrives in Shopify exactly as it was in 3dcart, with no manual data entry required.
Escape payment lock-in — move to payment freedom on Shopify
Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) is an enterprise platform — but its total cost of ownership is extraordinary. Licence fees, developer costs, implementation partners, maintenance contracts and integration overhead routinely run £200,000–£500,000+ per year for mid-market brands. Shopify Plus delivers genuine enterprise-grade ecommerce at a fraction of the cost — with faster deployment, a superior app ecosystem and a modern headless architecture for brands that need it.
SFCC's product catalogue structure, price book logic, promotion engine and business rule layers are complex. We map every data architecture element to Shopify Plus equivalents — including metafield configurations, Shopify Scripts for custom pricing logic and Shopify Functions for complex promotion rules — ensuring zero business logic is lost in migration.
SFCC stores rely heavily on integrations with Salesforce CRM, SAP ERP, middleware layers and custom API connections. We rebuild every integration in Shopify Plus's modern API architecture — using native connectors, custom Shopify apps or approved integration middleware to maintain every data flow between your commerce platform and business systems.
Shopify Plus starts from $2,000/month compared to SFCC's six-figure annual licence cost plus ongoing implementation fees. Combined with reduced developer dependency, faster deployment cycles and Shopify's included CDN, security and updates — most brands reduce their total commerce platform cost by 60–80% by moving from SFCC to Shopify Plus.
Enterprise migration — reduce costs by 60–80% without losing capability
Custom-built ecommerce platforms often start as competitive advantages — but they quickly become liabilities. Maintenance costs grow every year, the original developer becomes a single point of failure and adding new features takes months instead of days. Shopify replaces all of that with a platform that has the world's largest ecommerce app ecosystem, 8,000+ developers and a product team investing hundreds of millions annually. We migrate bespoke platforms to Shopify with full custom-scoped discovery, data mapping and feature replacement.
Before a single line of code is written, we run a comprehensive technical discovery of your custom platform. Every feature, every business rule, every integration, every data table and every user journey is documented and mapped to a Shopify equivalent. You receive a full scope document with timeline and cost before we begin — no surprises.
Custom platforms use bespoke database schemas that standard migration tools cannot handle. We write custom extraction scripts tailored to your exact database structure — safely exporting all products, customers, orders, subscriptions, reviews and custom data fields — then transforming and loading everything into Shopify's data architecture with complete integrity verification.
Every unique feature your custom platform has is rebuilt in Shopify — either through existing Shopify apps, Shopify Plus's native enterprise features (Scripts, Functions, Flow), or custom private app development by our Shopify development team. Your Shopify store launches with 100% feature parity — and typically gains additional capabilities it never had on the custom platform.
Any platform. Any complexity. Fully scoped before we begin.
A complete migration means everything transfers — not just products. Here is exactly what we move from your old platform to Shopify.
Every product with all variants, SKUs, pricing, compare-at prices, inventory levels, weights, barcodes, vendor info and custom metafields migrated with full integrity.
All product images, additional gallery images, alt text and media files are migrated and reattached to the correct products — no broken images, no missing alt tags.
Your entire category or collection hierarchy is rebuilt in Shopify — including automated collection rules, manual collection assignments and collection page SEO meta data.
Every customer account including name, email, billing/shipping addresses, account tags and purchase history is migrated — customers can log in to your Shopify store from day one.
Complete order history — order IDs, dates, products, quantities, prices, customer details, shipping and fulfilment status — preserved in Shopify for reporting and customer service.
All product reviews including star ratings, review text, reviewer names and dates are migrated and reconnected to the correct products using Shopify's review app ecosystem.
Every page including About, FAQ, Terms, Contact and all blog posts with their content, images, categories and meta data are migrated and live on Shopify from day one.
Every page's meta title, meta description, canonical tag and URL slug is preserved and implemented on Shopify — protecting your Google rankings through the migration.
Every old platform URL is mapped to its new Shopify equivalent and 301 redirects are implemented across the entire site — ensuring no page returns a 404 after launch.
Every migration follows the same proven process — built over 500+ successful migrations — that guarantees a smooth, zero-downtime transition to Shopify.
We analyse your current store, map your data architecture and identify every migration challenge before we start.

Real merchants, real migrations, real business transformations.
"We were terrified of losing our Google rankings. Not a single position dropped. And our conversion rate went up 67% within the first 30 days on Shopify. Incredible result."
"We'd been told Magento was the only option for our scale. That was completely wrong. Shopify Plus handles everything Magento did and costs a fraction of the price. Migration was flawless."
"I had no idea how much Etsy was costing me in fees and customer ownership until I moved to Shopify. The migration was done in 8 days. My revenue has more than tripled since launch."
A migration is not a service you can undo if it goes wrong. Rankings lost, data lost and downtime experienced are not recoverable in the short term. Here is why merchants trust us with migrations that matter.
We have migrated stores from every major ecommerce platform — WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, Volusion, PrestaShop, Etsy and fully custom platforms. This depth of experience means we have solved every migration challenge before and know exactly how to handle yours.
Our migration process was built around SEO preservation from day one. 301 redirect mapping, meta data migration, URL structure planning and Google Search Console handover are not afterthoughts — they are core deliverables on every single migration we complete.
We build and test your complete Shopify store in a staging environment before any DNS changes are made. The domain cutover takes minutes and is performed during your store's lowest-traffic window. Your customers never experience downtime and never see a half-built store.
Every migration is scoped and priced before we begin. You receive a fixed-price proposal with a clear timeline and deliverable list. We never add costs mid-project for unforeseen technical challenges — those are our problem to solve, not yours to pay for.
If your Shopify store loses more than 10% of its organic search rankings within 90 days of migration — due to any error in our redirect mapping or SEO migration process — we fix it completely at our cost. We have never had to invoke this guarantee in 500+ migrations, but we back every migration with it in writing.
The questions we hear most often before a migration starts.
No — when done correctly. We implement a complete 301 redirect mapping from every old URL to its new Shopify equivalent, migrate all meta titles and descriptions, update your XML sitemap and submit it to Google Search Console post-launch. In 500+ migrations, clients maintain 95%+ of their organic rankings. We also back this with our SEO Preservation Guarantee in writing.
Absolutely not. We build your complete Shopify store in a staging environment while your existing store continues trading normally. The final DNS cutover — the moment your domain switches to pointing at Shopify — takes minutes and is performed during your store's lowest-traffic window. Your customers experience zero downtime throughout the entire process.
Zero data loss is our guarantee on every migration. We migrate every product, variant, image, customer account, order record and review using a verified migration process with pre and post-migration data integrity checks. If any record is missing from your Shopify store after migration, we find it and fix it before your store goes live — at no additional cost.
Migration timelines depend on store size and platform complexity. Small stores from Wix, Squarespace or Etsy typically complete in 5–10 days. Standard WooCommerce, BigCommerce and OpenCart migrations run 7–14 days. Complex PrestaShop and Volusion migrations take 10–21 days. Enterprise Magento and custom platform migrations run 3–8 weeks depending on complexity. You receive a firm timeline in your migration proposal before we begin.
Yes — you keep your domain. We configure Shopify to work with your existing domain and guide you through the DNS update process (or handle it entirely for you). Your URL stays the same, your email stays the same and from a customer perspective nothing changes — except your store now runs on Shopify.
Your existing store continues running completely normally throughout the entire migration process. We build Shopify in parallel — your customers keep buying, your orders keep coming in and nothing changes on your current platform until the moment you approve going live on Shopify. You decide when to flip the switch.
You will need a Shopify account to migrate into, but we will set this up for you and advise on the right Shopify plan for your business size and requirements. Shopify offers a 3-day free trial, and we typically build in the staging environment before any paid plan is required. We will walk you through exactly what you need during your free migration audit.
Yes — our enterprise migration process handles stores of any size. We have migrated catalogues of 50,000+ products using automated data pipelines and integrity verification processes. For large catalogues, we provide a detailed data migration plan showing exactly how products, variants, images and metafields will be handled before we begin.
