Shopify Migration Specialists
So you’re thinking of making the move to Shopify? If you’re stuck on another platform and you’re seeking to make the leap, we can help.
If you started small, other platforms may have served you well so far, but with an ever-growing business, your store could begin buckling under the strain. Whether you’re using another e-commerce platform like Magento or WooCommerce, or even a non-e-commerce platform like WordPress or Squarespace, a migration is exactly what you need, and we can make it easy.
Shopify makes e-commerce easier and more productive. While on those other platforms, you may spend your time worrying about hosting, security, or stability, Shopify takes care of all of those so you don’t have to. It also helps your business grow too. Whether you’re a business owner, CEO or e-commerce manager, you can manage your site and make changes with just a few clicks from a user friendly control panel. Adjust your site design to your tastes with Shopify themes, and expand your capabilities with thousands of ready-made apps in the Shopify App Store. Shopify will expand your e-commerce horizons, with endless possibilities. Find out more here.
Stuck On One of These Platforms?
Don’t be. Here are some platforms we love to migrate clients from.
Can’t spot yours? These are just a few examples of platforms we migrate our clients from. No matter your existing platform, contact our team for a free consultation and we’ll advise on how easily you can make the switch.
The Migration Process
Just like moving from an old house, if your store has been online for many years or your brand is home to an enormous product range, you might be quite daunted about the prospect of moving everything across to a new home. Thankfully, we’ll be right by your side throughout.
Working together with you and your team, we’ll put together a migration plan, where we’ll take an audit of your current store, recording all the content currently featured.
During the audit, we’ll work with your team to decide exactly which content should be migrated to Shopify, and the content that shouldn’t. We’ll take a close eye to products, collections and pages, and meticulously plan where data is coming from, and plot where it will be moving to.
Our tech wizards will then get to work on transferring the data, in many cases automatically, with little time or effort needed from yourself.
Design & Development
At this stage, we’ll work on creating your new store, ready for your content to be migrated over. Our expert web developers and designers will craft a bespoke new home created just for your business. We can closely match your old design, or you can use your migration as an opportunity for a refresh, or even an entire redesign if you're rebranding or want to maximise on Shopify's design flexibility. As the migration progresses, we’ll make recommendations for design changes, or new technical integrations that could not only improve your online store, but to help supercharge your operations, such as easier and faster shipping with ShipStation, powerful customer service with Gorgias, or automated inventory management with Linnworks.

Once our metaphorical moving vans are unloaded, and we’ve moved you into your shiny new Shopify home, our support doesn’t stop there. We’re here to help you get used to managing your store with Shopify, and will provide both you and your team with all the necessary training and support needed to make your migration a successful one. Our technical team will be on hand to answer any queries or resolve any issues that arise. No question is too small.

Certainly. Each project includes comprehensive training which is based on your specific requirements, such as existing knowledge of Shopify and the apps which will be integrated with your store. Typically, these sessions are delivered virtually and recorded for future reference. We can provide in-person training too, which is encouraged for more complex transformation projects.
A technology stack refers to the various apps integrated with Shopify. These apps often span various areas of the business such as customer service, inventory management, fulfilment, accounting to name a few. The power of Shopify is the strength of the ecosystem of technology partners that support the platform and we'll work with you to ensure you have the right tools at your disposal.
Considering the popularity of Shopify, it likely integrates with your existing technology. During the scoping phase, we'll discuss your existing apps and establish if pre-built connectors exist, or if an integration platform is required.
Possibly. Despite being Plus Partners, the majority of our clients are using Shopify 'Core'. We'll provide a recommendation once we have more information about your business as your fit for Shopify Plus is dependant on multiple factors including your order volume and plans for growth.
Customer information, customer price lists, customer payment options, product information, photography and payment terms are just some of the core store data we can migrate over from legacy systems, but the list goes on. If you have more specific requirements for a migration, speak to our Operations team.
WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento are some of the big names we migrate from, but there are many more that our team deals with regularly. Speak to our Operations team and we’ll be able to guide you through the steps needed to get you onto Shopify from a legacy system.
When it comes to larger projects, we tend to split the payment in equal instalments that span through the course of the project - rather than asking for a large 50% deposit upfront.
There are a number of Shopify plans available that suit businesses of every size. For full plans and pricing breakdowns, check out our handy blog here: Shopify UK Pricing Plans.
A project timeline depends on a number of variables, including whether the website is a migration from another platform or a theme build, as well as internal team operations and integrations to consider. During the scoping phase of your project, our team will map out your estimated timelines based on your specific requirements. We see new sites go live in as little as 4 months, but others take longer if the website is more complex to develop and it requires more operational time.
Like project timelines, any project costs will depend greatly on the individual business requirements, as well as bespoke development and any additional apps or integrations. Before sending across a proposal, our team will conduct a full scope to identify both pain points and opportunities so that you can get a flavour for what our agency can offer.
Absolutely. We conduct a thorough scoping process that provides you with a clear defined scope of work that leaves no room for assumptions. We find that by asking the right questions, we are able help educate and give you an understanding of what areas of your project holds the most importance.
Shopify has a very robust B2B offering, and we build sites for both B2B, B2C industries, and businesses who offer both. If you're curious about Shopify B2B, we have a handy free e-book you can download to learn more: Shopify B2B: The Future of B2B E-Commerce.
