What's included
What we keep when you move
Every URL, redirected
Old product, category and blog URLs 301 to their new home. Google keeps the ranking, customers keep their bookmarks.
SEO that you already earned
Titles, meta descriptions, alt texts and headings carried over, then checked in Search Console after switch-over.
Customers
Names, addresses, marketing consent, tags. Passwords cannot be moved on any platform — we send a friendly account-activation invite.
Order history
Past orders imported so customers see their history and you keep your reports (Migration M and L).
Products and variants
Images, options, SKUs, barcodes, stock, weights — counted before and after, so nothing silently vanishes.
A switch-over with no downtime
We build on a password-protected store, freeze the old one for a few hours and move the domain when you say go.
From
Platforms we move stores from
Wix
Tier SWix is fine until you need real variants, faster pages or apps that do not fight each other. We move your Wix store to Shopify, redirect every old URL and hand you a store that is easier to grow.
Squarespace
Tier SSquarespace is a great website builder with a shop attached. When the shop becomes the business, Shopify gives you the catalogue, checkout and apps to match. We move it without breaking your rankings.
WooCommerce
Tier S / MWooCommerce gives you freedom and a server to babysit. Shopify takes hosting, security and checkout off your plate. We move products, customers, order history and your WordPress content, and keep the rankings you earned.
BigCommerce
Tier MBigCommerce catalogues lean on product options and modifiers that Shopify models differently. We map them field by field, move customers and orders, and redirect every category so your rankings come with you.
Shopware
Tier MShopware is powerful and expensive to keep up to date. Shopify runs the platform for you. We move products, properties, customers and orders, and rebuild your languages and countries in Shopify Markets.
Magento
Tier LMagento stores carry years of attributes, extensions and integrations. We audit everything, decide what moves, what gets replaced and what retires, and quote a fixed price before work starts.
PrestaShop
Tier S / MPrestaShop stores often run on modules nobody wants to update. We move products and combinations, customers and orders to Shopify, rebuild languages in Shopify Markets and redirect every old URL.
Shoper
Tier S / MShoper is built for the Polish market. When you start selling across the EU, Shopify gives you markets, currencies and languages in one store. We move the catalogue and keep your rankings.
JTL-Shop
Tier LMoving off JTL-Shop is rarely about the shop alone: the Wawi runs stock, invoices and shipping. We scope the connection first, then move catalogue, customers and URLs to Shopify.

FAQ
Questions merchants ask us
Will I lose my Google rankings when I move to Shopify?
Not if redirects are done right. We map every old URL to a 301 redirect, keep titles and descriptions, and watch Search Console for 30 days after the switch.
Can you move customer passwords?
No one can — platforms store passwords encrypted. Customers keep their account data and get an activation e-mail to set a new password.
How long does a migration take?
Migration S usually takes 2–3 weeks, Migration M 4–6 weeks. Magento and ERP-connected stores are scoped after a call.
Do you migrate orders?
Yes, on Migration M and L: historic orders are imported so customers see their history and your reports stay complete.
Will my store be down during the move?
No. We build the new store alongside the old one and switch the domain in a quiet window, usually in under an hour.
