The guide

E-commerce replatforming to Shopify

Moving a store means moving products, variants, customers, order history and every URL that search engines and customers know. Lose any of those and you lose sales.

We export and transform your catalogue, rebuild the theme and replace the apps and integrations you rely on. Every product and category URL is redirected, and launch week is staffed in case anything needs attention.

Signs you need this

  • Your Magento or WooCommerce version needs costly upgrades
  • Checkout is slow on mobile
  • Extensions conflict after every update
  • Hosting and patching costs keep rising

Risks we remove

What usually goes wrong with e-commerce replatforming projects, and what we do about it.

01

Lost rankings on product pages

Every product and category URL is redirected and checked.

02

Customers locked out

A friendly account activation email, written for your brand.

03

Broken integrations on launch day

ERP, shipping and accounting connections are tested on a development store.

Worked example

A typical replatform

A retailer on an ageing Magento version faces a costly upgrade. Week one exports and profiles 4,000 products, customers and orders, and lists every extension in use.

Weeks two to six rebuild the theme, replace extensions with apps or custom code, and import in batches with counts reconciled after each. Launch includes full redirects and staffed launch-week support.

An illustrative example of how we would run this kind of project, not a client case study.

E-commerce replatforming: questions, answered

Do customers need to reset passwords?
Shopify can’t import passwords, so customers are invited to activate their accounts. We write that email so it feels like a welcome, not a chore.
Is order history kept?
Yes. Past orders are imported so customers and support staff can still see them.
How long does a replatform take?
Typically five to eight weeks, depending on catalogue size and integrations.
How does pricing work?
After a free scoping call you get a written proposal setting out the scope, the cost and a planned timeline, so you know what you are agreeing to before work starts.
Do I own what you build?
Yes. Code, designs, content and accounts are yours from day one, in accounts you control.
