Most merchants don’t put off a migration because they doubt Shopify. They put it off because they’re afraid of what breaks in the process: rankings that took years to earn, order history a support team relies on, or a checkout flow customers already trust. We plan the move around those three risks first, then execute the build, so the switch reads to your customers as a faster store, not a disruption.
Products, customers, orders and content leave your current platform on one coordinated timeline and land on Shopify already mapped, redirected and tested.

Why Merchants Migrate
What Actually Changes After Moving To Shopify
A migration is only worth the disruption if it moves the business forward. These are the four outcomes we plan every migration around.
Lower Total Cost
Replatforming off enterprise licensing, custom hosting and server maintenance most legacy platforms carry.
Faster Storefronts
Shopify’s global CDN and hosted checkout usually beat a self-managed server on load time out of the box.
Preserved Rankings
Every URL, meta tag and image is mapped and redirected so organic traffic survives the switch.
Room To Scale
Shopify Plus handles traffic spikes and multi-market expansion most legacy setups weren’t built for.
Migration Types
Whichever Platform You’re Moving From
Every platform structures products, customers and content differently. Pick your current platform below, or tell us what you’re on and we’ll scope the mapping work directly.
Where AI Actually Helps During A Shopify Migration
A migration involves thousands of small comparisons: does this field on the old platform match a Shopify field, does this URL have a redirect, does this meta title still make sense. AI speeds up the first pass on that work. A person still signs off before anything goes live.
AI-Assisted Data Mapping
Matching product attributes, metafields and category structures from your current platform to Shopify’s schema is mostly pattern matching across thousands of rows. AI-assisted mapping flags likely matches and clear mismatches upfront, so engineers spend their time on the exceptions instead of the routine matches.
Automated Content & SEO Preservation Checks
Before cutover, an automated pass compares every old URL, title tag, meta description and image alt text against its Shopify equivalent and flags anything missing a redirect or a rewritten tag. It’s a check, not a replacement for a human reviewing the final redirect map.
Faster QA On Large Catalogs
For catalogs running into the thousands of SKUs, AI-assisted comparison tools help spot pricing, inventory or variant mismatches between the old and new store during the parallel-run stage, well before customers see the new site.
This is the same engineering discipline behind our broader AI development and automation services, applied specifically to the data-heavy work of a platform migration.
Why Raulji Technologies
A Migration Partner That Plans Before It Cuts Over
A rushed migration shows up months later as missing pages, broken redirects or a support queue full of customers who can’t find their order history. We’d rather spend an extra week on the audit than fix that after the fact.
Senior Engineers Only
The people who scope your migration are the ones who build it, not a handoff to a different team.
Audit Before A Line Of Data Moves
Every migration starts with a documented map of what exists today, not an assumption about it.
SEO-First Redirect Mapping
Redirects are built and tested before cutover, not patched together after rankings start dropping.
Built On Supported APIs
We migrate through Shopify’s Admin API and supported import tools, not scripts that break on the next update.
Verified Before Go-Live
The old and new store run in parallel and get compared line by line before the DNS switch happens.
Support After Cutover
Traffic and ranking monitoring, plus fast fixes, continue in the weeks after the switch, not just on launch day.
Case Studies
The Same Discipline We Bring To A Migration
These builds weren’t migrations, but they show the catalog architecture and checkout engineering that any successful re-platforming depends on.

Frequently asked
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often.
What does a Shopify migration actually involve?
A Shopify migration means moving your products, customers, order history, content and SEO data from your current platform onto Shopify. It typically covers a platform audit, mapping your data to Shopify's schema, building the new theme, setting up 301 redirects, running the old and new store in parallel to verify everything, then a scheduled cutover.
Which platforms can you migrate from?
We regularly migrate stores from Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, PrestaShop, Wix, Squarespace, OpenCart and custom or homegrown platforms with no standard export format. If your platform isn't listed, tell us what you're on and we'll scope the data mapping directly.
Will I lose my search rankings after migrating?
Not if the redirect mapping is done properly. We map every existing URL, meta title, meta description and image alt text to its Shopify equivalent and build 301 redirects before cutover, so search engines see a continuous site rather than a new one starting from zero.
How do you handle 301 redirects during migration?
Every URL from your current site is catalogued and mapped to its new Shopify URL. We test the full redirect map during the parallel-run stage, before the DNS switch, so broken links and 404s are caught and fixed while the old site is still live as a reference.
Will my store go down during the switch?
No. We schedule the cutover for a low-traffic window and keep the old store accessible as a fallback until the new one is confirmed working end to end. Most merchants see no meaningful downtime because the DNS switch itself only takes minutes.
How long does a typical Shopify migration take?
A straightforward migration with a few hundred products usually takes 3 to 6 weeks. Larger catalogs, B2B pricing rules, custom integrations or Shopify Plus builds typically run 6 to 12 weeks depending on how much custom logic needs to be rebuilt.
What happens to my customer accounts and order history?
Customer profiles and historical order data are imported into Shopify so support teams and repeat customers see continuity. Depending on your current platform, customers may need to reset their password once after the switch for security reasons, which we communicate in advance.
Do you migrate custom apps and integrations too?
Yes. ERP, CRM, payment gateway and marketing tool integrations are reviewed during the audit stage and rebuilt or reconnected on Shopify, either through existing Shopify apps or custom API work where no direct equivalent exists.
How do you handle products with hundreds of variants or custom fields?
Custom fields and complex variant structures are mapped to Shopify metafields and the variant system during the data-mapping stage. For very large catalogs, we use bulk import tooling and AI-assisted comparison to flag mismatches before they reach the live store.
What if my current developer or agency is not cooperative during the handoff?
Most of what we need (a data export, admin access, or read access to your current platform) doesn't require ongoing cooperation from your previous developer. We can usually work from an export and public-facing site data if a clean handoff isn't available.
Can you migrate to Shopify Plus for enterprise-level needs?
Yes. For merchants with high order volume, multi-currency needs or complex B2B pricing, we plan the migration directly onto Shopify Plus, including Shopify Flow automation and Shopify Markets for multi-region selling.
What support do we get after the migration goes live?
We monitor traffic, rankings and redirect performance for a defined period after cutover and fix anything that surfaces, broken links, indexing issues or edge-case data problems. After that, ongoing Shopify maintenance and SEO retainers are available if you want continued support.
