Shopify Migration Checklist
Replatforming to Shopify without tanking your SEO or losing data comes down to process. This is the migration checklist our team follows on every move.
ABOUT THIS CHECKLIST
Most horror stories about migrating to Shopify come down to two missed things: a redirect map that was never built, and data that quietly didn't come across. Done properly, a migration preserves your rankings, your customers, and your order history. This is the checklist we work through when we move a store to Shopify from WooCommerce, Magento, Wix, or BigCommerce — preview it below or download the branded PDF.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Common questions about this checklist.
Will I lose my Google rankings when I migrate?
Not if the migration is done right. A complete URL-level 301 redirect map, preserved metadata, and 30 days of monitoring protect your SEO equity. Skipping the redirect map is the number-one cause of traffic loss — see our migration services.
Which platforms do you migrate from?
Most commonly WooCommerce, Magento, Wix, and BigCommerce. The data and SEO steps are the same; only the export method differs.
Can you run the migration for me?
Yes — we handle the whole move, including the redirect map and data import, with zero-downtime cutover. Talk to us or start with a free audit of your current store.
