Shopify Migration

Customer records — names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, tags and marketing consent — can be migrated, but passwords cannot, because platforms store them in encrypted form. With Shopify's newer customer accounts, shoppers sign in with a one-time code sent to their email, so there is no password to reset; where a store uses classic accounts, we send a planned account-activation email instead.

No, not if they are planned for. Historical orders can be imported so customers and your team still see past purchases, and reviews can be moved into Shopify review apps such as Judge.me, Loox or Yotpo through their import tools, keeping star ratings on product pages. Exactly what can move depends on the source platform's export options, which we confirm during the audit.

A Shopify migration takes two to four weeks for a small or mid-sized catalogue on WooCommerce, Wix or BigCommerce, and four to eight weeks for large catalogues, Magento or custom PHP stores with complex data. A theme redesign or custom features add time. The old store keeps trading throughout, so there is no gap in sales.

The main cost drivers are catalogue size and variant complexity, which data types move (customers, orders, reviews, blogs), how clean the source data is, whether the theme is redesigned or recreated, and how many custom features or plugins must be rebuilt. A WooCommerce store with a few hundred products and standard plugins is a far smaller job than a Magento store with tens of thousands of SKUs and an ERP link, so we quote after the audit.

Moving to Shopify is usually worth it when hosting, plugin conflicts, security patches and developer time take more effort than growing the business. Shopify trades some flexibility for a managed platform, a large app ecosystem and a checkout that is maintained for you. If you depend on very specific B2B pricing or deep custom logic, we assess whether Shopify, Shopify Plus or staying where you are is the better call before recommending a move.

Shopify Payments is not generally available to Indian-registered stores, so we connect gateways such as Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree or CCAvenue, and one-click checkouts such as GoKwik, Shiprocket Checkout or Razorpay Magic Checkout where they suit your order volume. COD is set up with pincode and order-value rules, GST is configured in Shopify's tax settings alongside a GST invoice app, and every method is tested with real orders before cutover.

Yes. We export your marketplace listings, restructure them for a brand store, rewrite key product pages for your own buyers, and set up checkout, shipping and tracking so the store is ready for ads on day one. Your marketplace listings keep running, and stock can be kept in step across channels with an order-management or multichannel inventory app.
