Migrate

Move your store to Shopify without losing what matters

Migrate your catalog, customers, orders, content and SEO structure with a planned process — so launch day is a cutover, not a scramble.

Supported moves

From the platforms merchants actually leave

We migrate stores ElvoApps can support properly — not every platform on the internet.

WooCommerce → Shopify

Products, variations, customers, orders, WordPress pages and blog content.

Magento → Shopify

Catalog complexity, attributes and customer history planned before the first import.

BigCommerce → Shopify

Products, customers and storefront content mapped to Shopify primitives.

Custom platform → Shopify

Exports, APIs or databases mapped into a Shopify-ready information model.

Scope

What a complete migration includes

Products and variants
Customers and accounts
Order history
Collections
Pages
Blog content
Images and media
Metadata
URLs
SEO data

Not every store needs every object. Discovery decides the cutover set so you are not paying to move junk data — or leaving behind the records operations still need.

SEO migration

Search equity is a deliverable, not a hope

A Shopify migration that ignores URLs will teach Google to forget you. We treat redirects and metadata as part of the build.

  • URL mapping

    Old paths matched to Shopify product, collection, page and blog URLs before launch.

  • 301 redirects

    A redirect table you can audit — not a last-minute spreadsheet dumped into an app.

  • Metadata and canonicals

    Titles, descriptions and canonicals carried across so Shopify does not invent duplicates.

  • Sitemaps and indexation

    New sitemaps submitted, old ones retired, and indexation watched after launch.

  • Post-launch monitoring

    Coverage, redirect errors and ranking URLs checked in the weeks after cutover.

How a migration is sequenced

  1. 1
    Inventory

    Catalog, content, apps and SEO URLs documented.

  2. 2
    Mapping

    Objects and URLs mapped to Shopify.

  3. 3
    Staging

    Imports tested on a unpublished store.

  4. 4
    Validation

    Counts, images, variants and sample orders checked.

  5. 5
    Cutover

    DNS, redirects, payments and apps go live together.

Questions

Shopify migration FAQs

Not if URL mapping, 301 redirects, metadata and post-launch monitoring are part of the project. Rankings can still move while Google recrawls, which is why we treat SEO as a workstream rather than a checkbox.
Customer records can be migrated. Password migration depends on the source platform. We explain the customer experience (invite vs. reset) before cutover so support is not surprised.
Historical orders can be imported. Open orders, gift cards and store credit need a specific plan because Shopify handles them differently than WooCommerce or Magento.
If the current storefront is the bottleneck, we often design the Shopify theme in parallel with data mapping. If the catalog is the risk, data and redirects come first and the theme follows a stable catalog.
