Shopify Migration – We’ll migrate your online shop to Shopify

Migrating a Shopify store involves systematically transferring your existing online shop – including all data, content and features – to the Shopify platform. The process comprises several steps: first, products, categories, customers and orders are exported from the previous system and imported into Shopify. This is followed by design customisations, app integrations and technical configurations. To ensure a smooth migration, it is advisable to work with a clear strategy, professional tools and, ideally, experienced Shopify experts – this ensures the transition is carried out efficiently, securely and without any downtime.

Migrating to Shopify without losing SEO rankings requires careful planning and technical expertise. Clean URL mapping is crucial: old URLs must be correctly redirected to the new pages via 301 redirects so that Google recognises the connection. In addition, meta data, structured content, alt text and internal links should be fully transferred. Technical aspects such as loading times, mobile optimisation and crawlability must also be correct. During every migration, our experts ensure that your visibility on Google is maintained – or even improved.

The cost of a Shopify migration depends heavily on the scope of your current shop – for example, the number of products, the complexity of the design, the system architecture and any additional features you require. Small shops with just a few products and standard features can be migrated from as little as approx.€1,500 to €3,000migrate professionally. For more complex projects involving customisations, extensive SEO requirements or numerous app integrations, the costs can range from€4,000 and €10,000+. In any case, it’s worth the investment: you’ll get a future-proof platform, reduce long-term maintenance costs and maximise your turnover through improved performance.

Yes, a Shopify migration is worthwhile even for smaller shops – and often particularly so. Smaller online shops in particular benefit from the ease of use, reliable technology and low maintenance that Shopify offers. Instead of having to deal with hosting, updates or technical issues, you can focus entirely on sales. Shopify is also perfectly scalable – you can start small and cost-effectively, but grow at any time, integrate new features and expand internationally. Many of our customers have achieved a measurable increase in turnover following the migration – with less effort.

No – with a professionally executed Shopify migration, neither downtime nor a loss of revenue is to be expected. Your existing shop remains online throughout the migration, whilst the new Shopify store is being set up in the background. The site only goes live once all content, features and SEO redirects have been correctly transferred and tested. This controlled transition ensures that your customers won’t notice the change and that you won’t lose any traffic or revenue. On the contrary: thanks to improved performance, optimised usability and faster loading speeds, the conversion rate often even increases after the migration.
