Problems We Solve Every Day

If you're experiencing any of these challenges, you're not alone—and we can help.

Fear of losing Google rankings during migration
Risk of customer data loss or corruption
Extended downtime during platform switch
Complex product data and variant structures

The Challenge You Face

Platform migrations are one of the highest-stakes projects in ecommerce. Get it wrong, and you could lose years of SEO equity, customer purchase history, and weeks (or months) of revenue during the chaos.

Most migration horror stories stem from poor planning: broken redirects that tank search rankings, lost customer accounts that frustrate loyal buyers, missing product data that requires manual re-entry. We've seen it all—and we've built a migration process that eliminates these risks.

Our migration methodology has been refined across 200+ successful platform moves from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Squarespace, and legacy platforms. We map every URL, preserve every customer record, and execute zero-downtime cutnovers that your customers won't even notice.

More importantly, we use the migration as an opportunity. While moving your data, we also clean it up, optimize your URL structure, and set you up for better performance on Shopify than you ever had on your old platform.

Don't let fear of migration keep you stuck on an outdated, expensive platform. Our proven process makes the move to Shopify safe, predictable, and often profitable from day one.
