Shopify migration checklist

A safe Shopify migration needs inventory of products and customers, URL maps with redirects, app replacements, tracking parity and a rehearsed launch. Volumes for this query are not measured yet; use the checklist as an operational guide.

1. Inventory what you have

Export products, variants, customers, gift cards, blog posts and discount rules. Note custom fields apps invented.

List every critical app and whether Shopify has a native or app equivalent.

2. Protect URLs and SEO

Map old URLs to new Shopify paths. Plan 301 redirects before launch, not after rankings dip.

Preserve titles, metas and canonical strategy where the new IA allows.

3. Tracking and payments

Rebuild GA4, pixels and conversion events on Shopify. Test checkout in a sandbox before cutover.

Confirm payment providers, tax and shipping rules match your markets.

4. Launch day

Freeze the old catalogue, run final sync, enable redirects, smoke-test checkout and monitor analytics for 48 hours.

Frequently asked questions

Most migrations use a staged store and a short DNS or domain cutover. We plan for minimal downtime and a rollback path.
We replace must-have features with Shopify apps or light custom work, and leave behind redundant scripts that hurt speed.
