Service
I migrate the products, customers and content to Shopify, set up 301 redirects and check the store after launch. The old store stays live until the domain is switched over.
The data, the URLs and the settings are handled and checked separately.
It starts with a free assessment based on a questionnaire. Then we agree what will be imported, I prepare a data mapping and a map of the old and new URLs, and we place a test order. The domain is pointed to Shopify after the final check. The portfolio price starts at €1,590 excluding VAT, and the standard price at €2,190 excluding VAT.
See the real BMWParts.bg project from CloudCart to ShopifyIn the base package, I import products, variants, images, collections, customers, pages, blog posts and SEO metadata, and prepare 301 redirects. Historical orders are quoted separately. Data from review apps, loyalty programmes, historical analytics and saved payment methods usually cannot be imported directly. The exact list is recorded in the data mapping document after reviewing the export.
Usually 3–5 weeks from the data audit to launch. Before that, the free assessment takes up to 3 working days. After launch, I monitor the redirects, indexing and errors for 30 days and send a short report. The timeline starts once access is granted and the data is ready, and it is extended if the materials arrive late.
Your store is on OpenCart, WooCommerce, CloudCart or a custom platform.
The store takes orders and you cannot afford a long interruption.
You are worried about the URLs that already bring in traffic.
Check what is included in the price and which tasks are agreed separately.
You fill in a short questionnaire. Within 3 working days you get the main risks, the expected scope and an indicative price range.
I check what data the export from the old platform includes. We record upfront what will not be imported.
I prepare the data mapping, import the agreed data, and set up the Shopify theme and the map between the old and new URLs.
I check the imported data against the export and we place a test order. After the final check, we point the domain to Shopify.
I check the redirects, indexing and technical errors and send a short report. Ongoing maintenance is a separate service.
I migrate from OpenCart, WooCommerce and CloudCart. I also work with custom platforms, but there the scope is set once I see what the data export looks like.
I cannot guarantee that rankings will be kept. They depend on Google, the competition and the state of the old site. My job is to plan the redirects, move the metadata and monitor for errors for 30 days after launch.
I crawl the old site and collect the URLs that can appear in search engines. Where there is a suitable new page, I set up a 301 redirect. URLs with no meaningful equivalent stay 404, rather than misleadingly sending people to the home page.
No. The export usually includes the products, customers and content, but data from external apps often has limits. This affects reviews, subscriptions and loyalty programmes, for example. Historical analytics and saved payment methods cannot be imported directly either. We agree all the exclusions before we start.
Different platforms store orders in different ways, and moving them often needs separate processing. If you need them, I will include them as an add-on or a separate quote after the assessment.
The new store is built in parallel while the old one keeps selling. The switch involves pointing the domain to the new store and takes minutes, but full propagation depends on the providers’ caches.
I need full admin access to the old platform, access to the hosting, Search Console and Analytics, and the contracts with the couriers. The hosting is needed for the archive, and Search Console shows which old URLs have visibility and traffic.
You fill in a short questionnaire about the platform, the volume of data and the integrations. Within 3 working days you get the main risks, the expected scope and an indicative price range. At this stage I do not need access to the store’s admin.
I make an archive and hand it over to you. It stays with you as a backup of the old store. After the handover, I do not keep a copy of my own.
30 minutes, free, no commitment.
