Migration.
A Shopify migration moves your online store (including products, customers, order history, and SEO) from another platform to Shopify's hosted infrastructure. Athom.Agency handles migrations from WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, and OpenCart, preserving search rankings and minimising downtime throughout the process.
01The process
Migrating to Shopify.
Switching your e-commerce platform is a significant undertaking, but it doesn't have to be stressful. Whether you're moving from WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, BigCommerce, or any other platform, we make the migration to Shopify as smooth and risk-free as possible.
A successful migration is about more than moving products. It's about preserving your SEO rankings, maintaining your customer data, carrying over your order history, and ensuring your new store launches without a hitch. That's where we come in.
Our migration process typically covers:
Pre-migration Audit.
We start by thoroughly auditing your existing store, cataloging all products, variants, customers, orders, pages, and blog posts. We also map out your current URL structure to plan the SEO redirect strategy.
Data Migration.
Products, collections, customers, order history, metafields: we migrate it all to your new Shopify store accurately and completely. We use industry-standard migration tools combined with custom scripts to handle complex data structures.
SEO & Redirects.
Protecting your organic search rankings is critical. We implement 301 redirects from all your old URLs to the new Shopify structure, ensuring Google and your customers always land in the right place.
Theme & Customization.
We set up your Shopify theme to match or improve upon your existing store's design. All custom functionality, from unique product pages to specialized checkout flows, is rebuilt to Shopify's standards.
App & Integration Setup.
We configure all necessary Shopify apps and third-party integrations, from email marketing and reviews to ERP systems and fulfillment providers, ensuring your tech stack is fully operational on launch day.
02Go-live
A risk-free migration.
We run your new Shopify store in parallel with your existing platform until we're 100% confident everything is working perfectly. Only then do we switch over, minimizing downtime to mere minutes during the DNS cutover.
After launch, we stay close for the first weeks to monitor performance, catch any issues early, and ensure a smooth transition for both you and your customers. You're never left on your own after go-live.
