Website Migration for Shopify Stores
Ready to ditch your old ecommerce platform and move to Shopify? BluedgeUSA: Shopify migration experts.
Migrating data from one ecommerce platform to another requires experience, careful data handling, and a deep understanding of the retail industry.
Bluedge checks all the boxes, and we optimize turnaround time.
What's Involved in a Shopify Website Migration?
Bluedge: Meticulously moving products, orders, customer data, and content to Shopify's online ecommerce platform.
The goal of a Shopify website migration is to move your valuable data from your outdated ecommerce platform to Shopify safely, seamlessly, and without losing data.
Importing data from one ecommerce platform to another is not an easy process! It's not a process we recommend that you DIY. There is no one-size-fits-all website migration experience (your online store is unique), but we have developed processes and techniques to make the migration to Shopify seamless.
Our Shopify migration experience includes WooCommerce, Magento, Etsy, WordPress and more, as well as custom-developed ecommerce platforms.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about Shopify Migrations
We've compiled a list of questions that clients often ask us, but if you'd prefer to skip the FAQs and go straight to a conversation, we're here for that.
Many factors influence the duration of the migration process, especially the size of the inventory, the data structure and customization requirements. Because we've been building and migrating Shopify sites since 2013, we can give you a better idea of a timeline when we understand the complexity of your inventory and your goals. We think of our three-step migration process in terms of “Listen, Plan, Execute” where the “Execute” development phase takes the most time.

Although migrating to Shopify does not directly impact SEO rankings, we follow SEO best practices before, during and after the migration process. For example, we optimize your ecommerce site by using Shopify's built-in SEO tools, including customizable meta tags, URLs, and redirects. Part of our standard operating procedure is to ensure working 301 redirects for all old URLs to preserve SEO equity.
