Migration to Shopify and Shopify Plus for eCommerce brands that are already selling

When a platform starts making it hard to change your catalog, integrations, or campaigns, migrating can be a business decision. But the challenge isn't simply opening a new store: you have to move an operation that already has customers, orders, traffic, and processes in motion.

At Webmefy, we plan and execute eCommerce migrations to Shopify and Shopify Plus. We review data, architecture, SEO, and connections with the rest of the business to prepare a controlled transition and a store that can keep evolving after launch.

Replatforming without losing sight of what already works

Replatform without losing sight of what already works

A migration shouldn't start with choosing a theme. First, we need to understand why the current platform no longer meets the business's needs and what must keep working when the switch happens: products and variants, orders, payments, logistics, inventory management, analytics, content and traffic acquisition.

Not every store needs to migrate, and not every store needs Shopify Plus. We study the current situation, dependencies, and growth goals before defining the scope. That way, we avoid carrying old problems over to new technology or replacing processes that work without good reason.

What our Shopify migration service includes

Diagnosis and planning
We review the source platform, catalog, integrations, markets and processes. We define phases, dependencies, responsibilities and validation criteria.

Catalog, customer, order and content migration
We prepare the mapping between the source and destination in Shopify. We document limitations, required transformations and alternatives. Not all fields or historical data transfer identically.

SEO migration
We inventory URLs, set up redirects and monitor Search Console after launch. You can check out our Shopify SEO migration guide and the eCommerce SEO service.

Design, shopping experience and integrations

When the move includes a redesign, we review navigation, categories, product pages, cart and every step to purchase. Improvements are validated, not taken for granted just because you're on Shopify.

We evaluate connections with ERP, inventory, logistics, payments, customer service, and marketplaces. When the project includes CRM and retention, we coordinate the necessary data and events. You can also learn about our CRM and Klaviyo service.

Shopify Plus: for businesses with multiple markets, large catalogs or B2B needs, we assess whether Plus is the right fit. It's not an automatic choice: the decision must be justified by features, complexity and total cost of ownership.

Migrations from PrestaShop, Magento, WooCommerce, and other platforms

From PrestaShop to Shopify: we analyze categories, products and combinations, modules, business rules and integrations, paying special attention to URL differences.

From Magento or Adobe Commerce to Shopify Plus: these projects can involve complex catalogs, B2B rules, multiple markets, and enterprise connections.

From WooCommerce to Shopify: we analyze variations, orders, customers, WordPress content and plugins. We decide what to keep, where to host it and how to handle URLs.

From other platforms or custom builds: we assess data export, data access and integrations before defining the feasible scope.

How we approach a Shopify migration

Migrations that connect technology and growth

1. Audit of your current eCommerce
We analyze your catalog, organic performance, data, sales processes, integrations and business requirements. We identify risks, dependencies and elements that must be preserved.
2. Target architecture and migration plan
We define the Shopify structure, the data to be migrated, the URL map, integrations, testing and the launch timeline.
3. Build and test imports
We set up the new store and verify that products, customers, orders and connected services behave as defined.
4. Validation and controlled launch
We verify navigation, checkout, payments, taxes, shipping, analytics, redirects, and connections. A transition window may be necessary; we don't promise zero disruption.
5. Post-launch follow-up
We monitor errors, data integrity, integrations, crawling and indexing. We prioritize issues that affect customers, sales or operations.

Frequently asked questions about migrating to Shopify

Yes, there are import and development procedures for moving stores from those platforms. The actual scope depends on the catalog, the versions used, custom functionality and the data available at the source. We define it after reviewing the project.

A migration can cause temporary visibility fluctuations, even when it's well planned. We build the URL inventory, prepare redirects, review the new structure, and monitor Google Search Console after launch to reduce risk and identify issues. It isn't possible to guarantee that rankings will stay identical.

Many of these records can be migrated, but not all data transfers the same way. We check fields, relationships, historical data and technical limitations before defining what will be migrated and how it will be validated. Encrypted customer passwords, for example, can't be moved with a standard Shopify CSV.

The new store can be prepared and tested while the old one keeps running. For the final launch, we plan the data sync and the necessary changes. A transition window may be required; its length and conditions depend on the architecture and integrations.

Not necessarily. It depends on your commercial requirements, operational complexity and the features your business needs. We evaluate the choice of plan as part of the diagnosis, not as a prerequisite.

It depends on the number and complexity of SKUs, the volume and type of data, the design, the integrations, and the testing required. Before setting scope, budget, or timeline, we need to analyze your current store and the needs of your future operation.

Yes. We analyze the required integrations and their technical feasibility: catalog, inventory, orders, customers, and other processes. The solution depends on the existing systems, their APIs or connectors, and the business rules that need to be preserved.
