Who this is for
Owner of a WooCommerce or Magento store moving the product catalogue to Shopify with nobody technical to reshape the export.
You have decided to move platforms, have a product export in hand, and Shopify rejects it or imports it with options, variants or images in the wrong place.
The result
A Shopify product file and a redirect file for the agreed catalogue import on a test store with the same product and variant counts as the source, and sampled products matching in options, SKUs, prices and images.
What is included
- One product export from WooCommerce or Adobe Commerce and Magento 2, for up to 300 products
- A written mapping from the source columns to Shopify columns, including the decisions where the platforms differ
- A Shopify product file in UTF-8 with the exact headers, and a redirect file from the old product addresses to the new product addresses
- An import on a test store, a comparison with the source, and a short guide to the live import
You receive
- The Shopify product file, and the redirect file for the agreed old addresses
- A mapping sheet: source column, Shopify column, rule, and any decision you made
- A comparison report: product count, variant count, sampled products side by side, image results
- A list of products that did not fit cleanly, with the reason and the choice taken
- Live import steps, including the order of imports and how to undo them
What is not included
- Customers, historic orders, reviews, gift cards and coupon codes
- Theme design, apps, checkout setup and payment setup
- Moving the domain, or promising any search ranking result
- Products that need more than three options unless you decide how to merge or split them
- Exports from other platforms, which are quoted after we see the file headers
What we need from you first
- Which platform you are leaving, and its version if known
- About how many products and variants, and how many use options
- The first ten rows of the export, with prices and customer data removed if any
- Whether product addresses on the old store should redirect to the same products on Shopify
- Any product that already needs more than three options
Never send passwords, keys, customer records or confidential code in the first enquiry. Secure handover is agreed after scoping.
How we check it is done
- The test store shows the same number of products and variants as the source export, apart from items you chose to exclude
- Twenty sampled products, including every product with options, match the source in title, options, SKU, price and image count
- The import on the test store reports no row errors, and every image on the sample imports
- Every redirect target in the redirect file is the handle of a product that exists on the test store
You review the comparison and sign off before payment. The live import, redirects and domain change are separate steps you take.
When we would stop or decline
- More than about 300 products, which is quoted as a larger migration
- Most products need more than three options and nobody can decide how to merge or split them
- The export has no product codes and cannot be matched to anything
- The source store has custom product types that need custom fields we cannot map without your decision
Questions
Will my search ranking survive the move?
We do not promise any ranking result. We provide a redirect file so old product addresses reach the matching new ones, and you check the most visited ones after launch.
Can you move my customers and orders?
No. This job covers products only. Shopify handles customers and historic orders by different routes.
What if a product has four options?
Shopify allows three, so you choose between merging two options or splitting the product. We list each case for you to decide.
