Shopify Data Migration Services
Starting with Shopify can seem easy, however, migrating products can be tricky especially if you are migrating from a platform that is not very common such as BigCommerce. There are many tools that are available for your migration needs, however, they do not account for anything custom or unique to your business. Therefore, if you are looking for a proper data migration that will ensure your images, videos, descriptions, specifications, and whatever else you are display or needing in the back-end we got you covered! We have migrated small e-commerce product stores to those that come with 10,000+ products and need a lot of customization.
Shopify Customer migration can be done via the native CSV upload. However, it needs to be in the format that is provided by Shopify, more details can be found here. On top of the data manipulation, you may want to tag your customers differently based on customer groups you want to assign. Or perhaps you have a B2B customer database with multiple locations for the same account. We can handle the migration with minimum input from your team. This will save your team time so they can focus on other tasks.
Migrating orders to Shopify can be done in one of two ways, using a Shopify App or using Shopify’s API. Shopify apps can be pricey and not always reliable and can take a lot of time. That is why we exclusively upload via API, this ensures that no data is lost and all orders are migrated. There are some mandatory requirements making it hard to upload all orders, however, we typically offer solutions to combat those rare instances. Additionally, we recommend doing the order migration after the store is live or doing it in two steps, prior to launch and a small subset at launch. This will ensure that all data is captured.
