Service
A move to Shopify with a plan for your products, customers and existing URLs. Before work begins, I establish which data can be transferred, which integrations need replacing and how the switch will happen.
Products, customers, pages and old URLs: for each type of data, I establish how it will transfer and how I will check it.
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 ShopifyThe base package covers products, variants, images, collections, customers, pages, blog posts, SEO titles and descriptions, and 301 redirects. Historical orders are quoted separately. Reviews, loyalty programmes, historical analytics and saved payment methods usually cannot be transferred directly. After reviewing the export, I document exactly what the migration includes and what it leaves out.
Usually 3–5 weeks from the data audit to launch. Before that, the free assessment takes up to 3 working days once I have all the information I need. 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. Once I have all the information I need, within 3 working days you get the main risks, the expected scope and an indicative price range.
I review the export from the old platform and document what can be transferred. We agree how to handle missing data and exceptions before the import.
I match the fields from the old platform to Shopify and import the agreed data. I configure the theme and prepare redirects from the old URLs to the new ones.
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 work with OpenCart, WooCommerce and CloudCart. For a bespoke platform, I first review which data can be exported and in what format. I then define the migration scope.
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 return 404 or 410, rather than misleadingly sending people to the home page.
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.
I build the Shopify store separately while the existing store keeps taking orders. After testing, I point the domain to the new store. The change itself takes minutes, but when each visitor sees Shopify also depends on provider caching.
I need full admin access to the old platform, access to the hosting, Search Console and Analytics, and the contracts with carriers. 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. Once I have all the information I need, 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.
