Data we migrate for product pages and their attributes include: name, SKU, full description, status, manufacturer, price, special price stock status, meta title, meta description, product tags, variants (SKU, weight, attributes, quantity, price, special price, name and additional image). Also, we migrate product categories that is name, description, status, image, meta title and meta description.
Migration of data for orders include: Order Date, Order Status, Order Products: (Name, SKU, Option), Product Price, Quantity, Discount Price, Tax Price, Total Price, Order Comments Shipping Price Shipping Price. Customer Name, Email, Billing Address: (Company, Address 1, Address 2, Country, State, City, Zip Code, Telephone, Fax, First Name, Last Name). Shipping Address: (Company, Address 1, Address 2, Country, State, City, Zip Code, Telephone, First Name, Last Name).
Customers’ data migration to Shopify includes: First Name, Last Name, Email, Newsletter.

Shipping Address: (Company, Address 1, Address 2, Country, State, City, Zip Code, Telephone, First Name, Last Name). Address: (Street Address, Zip Code, City, State, Country, First Name, Last Name).
Bulk migration is a hassle and you need some sort of inventory or pricing rules to keep bulk options readily available after the migration process is over. Special formulas are there for bulk pricing and inventory updates for the data at hand. We ensure payment methods keep on working in the same flow and there won’t be any checkout issues.
All popular file formats for downloadable products are imported so that data can be readable and won’t get corrupt during the migration as the chances are fairly high. Shopify is the best in this way since it offers flexible and all possible file formats. Moreover, there are custom fields for unique products that can be added to product pages.
Coupon codes are usually part of product pages and checkout pages. Coupons, reviews (created date, rate, user name, title, and comment), the manufacturer (name), blogs (title, full description, SEO URLs), and CMS pages (title, created date, URL, description) can also be migrated. However, the coupon data we migrate is coupon codes, dates, and expiration dates.
An important consideration while migrating to Shopify is choosing between the options. There are primarily 3 ways of doing it:
1-Manual Migration – export all data from source store to CSV files and then import to Shopify. Data is reviewed, the existing one and the types of data you can export. Time and effort consuming, data loss chances are there.
2-Using Shopify App – export data from old store to CSV files and then use the Shopify import app. Downside, the old store must be on WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Etsy, Squarespace, Big Cartel or Presta shop.
3-Using an Extension – an automated way of data migration. However, again you can never be sure how well such extensions work with your type of store.
We recommend asking for a professional service provider for Shopify migration services. This way, chances of losing data (data security), store optimal performance and all data up and running can be ensured.
Don’t lose your precious data, reach out and play safe.
Moving or migrating from a legacy platform is never easy and it means a lot of work. Still, this couldn’t be the reason why you lag behind your competitors. Migration process if planned strategically, nothing goes wrong and usually you get an optimized and faster running website once the migration process is finished.
Our way of Shopify migrate is highly systematic where we do not compromise on quality services which is the reason why it’s time efficient and reduces cost too.
Products include titles, descriptions, images, tax, inventory, number of items, price etc., variants cover categories, subcategories of the product and product attributes involve all units of measurement etc. All said data is assessed first if need them all or need to cut the crap (thus improving webstore speed).
Sometimes, newly designed or added functionality stores lack some unique but must-have features in compliance with the business model. Especially if the products are not readily available online. We do custom Shopify apps if required to be integrated for boosting the overall function.
Shopify has an in-built payment gateway but it doesn’t support few regions on the globe. Moreover, there are some popular and hugely effective payment gateways which every other retailer asks us for integration and implementation. When a client asks for store migration, one of the major concerns are payment gateways too if they’ll work properly? And we handle all such use cases quite professionally.
Implementation of enterprise level resource planning solutions is another best part we do while a client is on the verge of switching his legacy processes too along with store migration. And why not? New look, new product displays, faster loading, and process automation. We implement NetSuite, Quickbooks, Oodo etc.
Ensure that the newly designed theme supports all back-office systems/apps/integrations. Although there are many apps/solutions offering smooth integration but again it depends on the ‘type’ of integration and data we are migrating.
When customer data is imported to Shopify, only customer records migrate and not encrypted information. Although, the solution helps business owners managing multiple accounts in management but sensitive information like passwords won’t transfer.
Plugins for bulk transfer of customer and production information from old platform to Shopify are available on Shopify app store. All products can bulk transfer in one click, we do prepare custom Shopify plugins if needed for migration purposes.
Shopify offers 24/7 support so that your user experience won’t get hurt in any case, be it migration or any other issue. You can seek support by making phone calls and email inquiries. Live help through chat is also available, all these channels are for free.
Shopify has different pricing plans. Make sure you know the pricing model/plan you are opting for before migration. From basic to enterprise level, you can choose as required. There is no lengthy process as you just have legitimate bank account and card details, hence entry barriers are very low for this platform.
We cover all types of Shopify migrations either you want them manual as if cautious enough or migration via apps or other automated ways. However, we will always suggest a cost-effective way of doing it. Our fully integrated and full-scale migration services are immaculate.
Your store will keep on running and won’t go down as we don’t want you to lose your customers. Rather we do migration in parallel where your current store keeps on working and new one is where we migrate data and once the process is done, we redirect.
Skilled and certified Shopify migration experts take responsibility of your store data, be it of customers, orders etc. Or sensitive information like encrypted customer passwords. We offer round-the-clock support along with migration services in case of query or any data loss.
Here at Code Ninja, we follow strict rules of quality and timeline so that clients get desired migration at the right time. We deliver what we promise, no fake timelines or useless efforts wasting time at both ends. If you are confused and need clarity, we’re happy to help you.
We can understand bad migrations put clients under so much stress since ecommerce stores rely heavily on their data. Since we follow a systematic process, we had never done any ‘bad’ migrations till date. Thinking through the process and transferring your store data seamlessly.

You can migrate pretty much each and every data from your existing store to Shopify. However, all the categories and subcategories will change to ‘collections’ inside Shopify platform. Other than term change, the functionality would stay the same and can be migrated easily.
It’s not possible to migrate sensitive information like encrypted security passwords to the Shopify store. However, we can migrate all customer data/records from your existing ecommerce store.
Depending upon the size of the data or the type of store you want to migrate to. A small or basic setup won’t take much time but medium to large size businesses with a larger number of products available in the existing store will take more time. So, the answer is ‘timeline varies’. To get an exact estimate of timelines, reach out and seek help.
Shopify platform is highly customizable and scalable at the same time. We can do custom Shopify theme development, Shopify apps/modules/plugin development, add custom functionalities etc.
We think when you migrate to Shopify platform, there is no need to compromise on your store functionalities, get exactly what you want.
If the migration is done properly or step-by-step like we mentioned, there will be no dip in the traffic or rankings whatsoever. We make sure the migration process is conducted by our Shopify migration experts, who know what to do and offer support for Shopify SEO migration too.
