No, we specialize in customized ecommerce migration services, therefore, we focus on the data and not development. However, we have partners that do ecommerce design and development services and would be happy to make the introduction.

No we are not the official Shift4 partner, this is because we are working with over 20 different ecommerce platforms including  custom ecommerce solutions. Our true partner is data, which is what we migrate.

Yes! We can migrate from any platform to any platform, because we are not an automated data migration tool, but rather a customized ecommerce migration service provider. We work with all platforms, with data in all states and we make it work the way you want it to, not the way it is at the moment. From SEO optimization to data cleaning, we ensure all data is migrated smoothly.

Each platform handles variations and modifiers differently, not all ecommerce platforms have the capability to do so. Regardless if you are moving to or from Shift4shop we can ensure that the products are set up the way the platform allows and the way your ecommerce development team has designed the product layout.

Data migration projects have a similar process. It starts with an ecommerce strategy, what will be migrated, what needs to be updated and what the new product layout going to be. Once that is finalized, we can then either export the data from Shift4Shop or use APIs. Then we prepare the data for the new platform, this can include product clean-up, standardizing orders and customer information, ensuring product SKUS match, managing the layout of products from multiple custom fields to one. Finally, when data is ready we migrate images, videos, PDFs, and other assets, followed by data to match those assets. Then we will do a quality control check to ensure that all data has been migrated and that it displays the way the designers developed the product pages.

Not only is it possible to update products during Shift4 Shop migration but it is often advisable. Especially if your current website is 5+ years old and has not been updated. We have worked with clients to remove list of products, add new products, update descriptions and swap new images. All we require is a way to keep track of all changes with a unique identifier. And if videos or images are replaced that we have a document with the file names and IDs/SKUs or names of products so we know where they go. It is also a great time to update your SEO, which we can help with as well.

Gift certificates are part of any data migration, as long as you have a list of gift certificate card numbers and balances, we can ensure they can be migrated to the new platform.
