02 / PROCESS

How a Shopify migration runs.

Every engagement follows the same four stages. You always know what is happening next and how success is measured at each milestone.

  1. Stage 1

    Audit & migration plan

    We assess your current platform, data, SEO, integrations and goals, then deliver a clear migration plan with scope, timeline, risks and cutover approach.

  2. Stage 2

    Build & data migration

    Shopify store and theme are built in parallel. Products, customers, orders, content and redirects are migrated and validated on staging.

  3. Stage 3

    QA, integrations & cutover

    Full QA, app and tracking verification, then a planned cutover window. DNS and redirects go live with monitoring from the first hour.

  4. Stage 4

    Stabilise, train & support

    Post-launch fixes, team training and optional retainer support so your store runs cleanly and your team is confident on Shopify.

07 / FAQ

Questions we hear before every migration engagement.

Honest answers, including the ones most agencies dodge.

Get a free migration readiness audit
How long does a Shopify migration take?

Typical migrations run 8–16 weeks depending on catalogue size, integrations and whether a redesign is included. Every quote includes a fixed timeline in the SOW.

Will we lose SEO rankings?

Not if the migration is done correctly. We inventory important URLs, implement 301 redirects and monitor Search Console after launch so equity is preserved.

What data do you migrate?

Products, variants, collections, customers, order history, content pages and relevant metafields — scoped clearly upfront so nothing critical is left behind.

What does a typical engagement cost?

Project migrations: $12K–$80K+. Post-migration retainers: $2K–$8K/mo. Dedicated team: $8K–$25K/mo. Every quote is fixed-fee and locked in the SOW.

How much downtime should we expect?

We build in parallel and aim for a short cutover window — often under 24 hours. Exact downtime depends on DNS, integrations and your risk tolerance.

Can we redesign as part of the migration?

Yes. Many clients combine a controlled redesign with the platform move. We can also prioritise design parity first and redesign later if speed to Shopify is the priority.
