It’s high time to transfer website to Shopify!

The sooner you start migration, the sooner your business will start to grow on Shopify. So let’s move on!

How do you migrate Shopify store?

The process of transfer website to Shopify starts with the analysis. We can’t migrate your store until we know the points that let us select the necessary tools. Next, we prepare data and get ready for the migration itself. We transfer your data, preserving the history, traffic, and indexing.

Why is Shopify the best choice for store development?

Shopify is an eCommerce platform, not a marketplace.This means that during your migration to Shopify, you acquire your own website, complete with all the necessary tools to run your business. Furthermore, the migration process to Shopify enables extensive customization and personalization of your content, empowering you to create a website that truly reflects the essence of your business.

What is the cost of migrating Shopify store?

Migration of your store to Shopify is a complex process, which is why the costs can vary for different websites. Before we start the process, we approve all numbers with our partners.

Why weren't my product variations migrated to Shopify?

Your product variations weren't successfully transferred to Shopify during the migration process due to the specific limitations of Shopify's functionality. Shopify imposes restrictions on the number of product variants that can be migrated, prohibiting the transfer of any product with more than 99 variants and more than 3 attributes from any other shopping cart to Shopify.

Is it possible to migrate options and attributes to Shopify?

Migrating options and attributes to Shopify isn't directly possible as Shopify doesn't support creating product options and attributes. During migration, our team will generate product variants from your existing options, and attributes will be imported into meta fields. Please note that Shopify has a limit of 99 variants and 3 attributes per product.

Can I migrate product categories and subcategories to Shopify?

Yes, you can migrate product categories and subcategories to Shopify. However, in the context of the migration to Shopify, these elements are restructured into collections and tags. Your source categories will undergo migration to become collections, and products will be appropriately tagged to mirror subcategories from your Source Store, ensuring alignment with Shopify's categorization system during the migration process.

How do I check product meta fields on Shopify?

While custom fields aren't available for migration, Shopify provides a feature called meta fields. During the migration process, you can check and work with product meta fields on Shopify by navigating to the Shopify admin. These meta fields are instrumental in managing custom information and attributes for your products, contributing to their enhanced customization and information during the migration Read more.

Can I transfer multiple languages to Shopify?

Regrettably, direct migration of multiple languages to Shopify isn't possible. However, you have options: you can employ an app to translate the storefront into various languages or set up multiple Shopify stores, each catering to a specific language. Also, you can import translated content in CSV files. Read more.

Do you facilitate migrations to Shopify using CSV, Excel, or XML files?

Yes, MakeBeCool uses a CSV file for migrating to Shopify. We ensure a precise and seamless migration of your data from various file formats, including CSV, Excel, and XML files, to Shopify or Shopify Plus.

Will customer passwords be transferred to Shopify during migration?

Customer passwords cannot be transferred to Shopify during migration. This is because each shopping cart has its unique password encryption methods, and Shopify, as a hosted eCommerce solution, restricts access to its database, making it impossible to migrate passwords.

Is it possible to include product reviews in the Shopify migration?

By default, Shopify doesn't support the Product Reviews feature, but they offer a solution with the Product Reviews App. The migration tool will export your review data into a CSV file, which you can then download and import into the Product Reviews App in your Shopify store.

What causes the migration process to Shopify to be time-consuming?

The migration process to Shopify is time-consuming due to Shopify's API rate limitations, which maintain platform stability. This API-based approach inherently takes longer compared to open-source platforms.

Factors like the volume of images being migrated and Shopify's restrictions on the number of products/variants created using API apps can also slow down the process. Contacting Shopify Support may be necessary to increase your store's limit.

Limitations on orders' migration can further affect speed, notably in trial or Partner development versions of Shopify, where you can create only 5 orders per minute.

Why couldn't my product SKU be migrated to Shopify?

The migration of your product SKUs to Shopify encountered an issue since, on the Shopify platform, SKUs are specifically assigned to variants and simple products, which are products without variations. As a result, during the migration process, SKUs from your Source Store are mapped to variants or simple products on your Shopify Store. Therefore, SKUs for products that are not classified as simple cannot be migrated.

Why is it not possible to migrate order dates to Shopify?

It's not possible to migrate order dates to Shopify because migration tools use the API, which has certain limitations. One such limitation is the inability to import the "created_at" date and time, as it is autogenerated by Shopify instead. So during the Shopify migrate process, you will observe the same date and time as the migration data/time, rather than the original order date.

What are the most commonly used migration options to Shopify?

  • Magento to Shopify
  • WooCommerce to Shopify
  • Squarespace to Shopify
  • WIX to Shopify
  • BigCommerce to Shopify
  • Prestashop to Shopify
  • OpenCart to Shopify
