Shopify migration

Custom platform to Shopify when the homegrown stack is done.

Homegrown carts and ageing stacks. If it holds products and customers, we can plan the move. The platform matters less than the state of the data.

Custom carts, legacy ERPs with a bolted-on storefront, or platforms with no active vendor support. If it holds products and customers, we can plan a Shopify migration.

We reverse-engineer the data, map what matters, protect SEO where URLs exist, and rebuild commerce on Shopify or Shopify Plus with integrations the business still needs.

What makes a Custom platforms migration different

  • Unknown data shapes

    Exports are rarely clean. We audit early, name the gaps, and refuse to invent structure at the last minute.

  • Hidden business logic

    Pricing rules, bundles and fulfilment quirks get written down before they disappear with the old code.

  • SEO on unusual URLs

    Odd path patterns still need redirects. We crawl what Google knows and map it deliberately.

How it runs

  1. 01

    Audit

    We inspect the current platform, catalogue health, traffic URLs, integrations and what regular customers rely on.

  2. 02

    Map

    Data fields, URL redirects and cutover risks get written down. You see the plan before we move a product.

  3. 03

    Migrate

    Catalogue and customers move into staging. Structure is cleaned. Integrations and the storefront come together.

  4. 04

    Rehearse

    Redirects, accounts, checkout and the top landing pages are tested. Cutover is practised, not hoped for.

  5. 05

    Launch and watch

    Go live on the agreed window. We monitor Search Console, 404s and the first trading days with you.

Custom platform to Shopify questions

What if we have no documentation?

Common. We start with the live site, the database or exports, and interviews with the people who run orders every day.

Can any platform move to Shopify?

If it has a catalogue and customers, yes. The work is in the data and cutover plan, not the brand name of the old stack.
