We help clients move their stores from custom solutions into new platforms. Regardless of your platform choice and current state of data, we can ensure a strategic migration.
This includes migrating of images, videos, descriptions, SEO information, pricing and custom fields, such as “additional product information.” We migrate to and from popular eCommerce platforms like BigCommerce, Shopify, and WooCommerce (as well as not-so-popular eCommerce platforms). As long as you can export your data, we can ensure it makes it to its new home.
We offer competitive pricing, with quick turn-arounds and customized solutions.

Store migration delays are rare but they can occur. Typically larger stores with customized data take longer and may require more work than originally anticipated. If data cleaning is needed prior to migrating that can also add time. For example, if wish to re-categorize products that may take longer as you may need to review every product. Finally, not having a clear layout in the new ecommerce platform can also slow down the data migration process. As a data migration corporation, we typically account for the unknowns but sometimes it is outside our control.
