The honest version
What actually migrates between platforms - and what you rebuild.
Every "one-click migration" pitch is selling you the easy 30%. The hard 70% is the same in every guide here. Plan for it up front.
| What | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Products (simple) | Migrates | Every modern tool handles this cleanly. |
| Product variants | Partial | Up to 3 option axes on Shopify standard plans. Configurable products with more dimensions need to be collapsed. |
| Customers | Migrates | Names, emails, addresses, groups all migrate. Passwords don't - customers reset on first login. |
| Order history | Partial | Imports as display-only records on Shopify. Not re-fulfillable through the new platform. |
| Product reviews | Partial | Migrates via Judge.me, Stamped, or Loox importers - rarely via the platform's native tool. |
| Gift card balances | Rebuild | Cannot migrate as live balances via any CSV. Re-issue via API and email holders. |
| URL structure & SEO | Rebuild | Every product/category URL changes. 301 redirects must be built manually. |
| Theme & layout | Rebuild | No tool migrates themes between platforms. Plan a full rebuild. |
| Extensions / plugins | Rebuild | 1:1 replacement with platform-native apps. The hidden cost of every migration. |
| Custom checkout | Rebuild | Shopify checkout is locked unless you're on Plus. |
The migration playbook (every platform, same shape)
The specifics differ - Magento URLs end in .html, WooCommerce uses /product/ - but the eight steps are the same every time.
01
Audit
Inventory products, extensions, themes, and ranking URLs before you touch anything.
02
Export
Pull products, customers, orders, reviews, and inventory as CSVs from the source platform.
03
Map
Transform the source schema into the destination's CSV columns. The boring part that decides everything.
04
Import
Pick a tool (free importer, Cart2Cart, Matrixify, managed service) and run it against a dev store first.
05
Verify
Reconcile counts, spot-check 20 products, sample-test orders. Find the broken stuff before customers do.
06
Redirect
Build the 301 redirect map - every ranking URL points to its new equivalent. This is the SEO save.
07
Rebuild
Theme, extensions/apps, shipping zones, tax rules, payment gateways. None of it migrates.
08
Switch
Point DNS, submit the new sitemap, file a Change of Address. Keep the old store running 30 days as a fallback.
More platform combos in progress
We ship guides when we have something genuinely new to say about the migration - not for every permutation. These are on the bench:
Working on something not listed? Tell us - we prioritise based on demand.
After the migration: keep adding products fast
The catalog you moved is one snapshot. Restocking, new lines, supplier sync - all easier when you don't copy-paste from product pages.
On Shopify
Product Upload for Shopify
Paste any supplier URL - AliExpress, Alibaba, Amazon, Etsy - and publish to your new Shopify store with variants, images, and AI-written descriptions.
Supplier guide
AliExpress → Shopify
Pulling dropshipped products in? The variant matrix on AliExpress is where most apps lose data. Here's the working pattern.
Reference
Shopify product CSV template
Every Shopify CSV column documented with example rows - the spec the migration guides reference.
