It is important that we understand where you are now and where the journey should go. That's why we analyze the ACTUAL state of your business, so we can learn from previous experiences and integrate them into Shopify. This is how we create a unique shopping experience and create solutions to shopping challenges for your target audience.

Traffic forwarding

To find out what data should be transferred, we crawl your current website and analyze what really brings traffic. Then we create meaningful redirects. We prioritize the URLs according to relevance and transfer them either manually or automatically in the form of scripts.

Redesign and adoption of corporate design

Now we start visualizing what we've learned and create a basic structure for your online store! Once this is released, everything is made pretty and palatable.

Development

Now we choose the right theme for your project and extend it with the functions and the design that we have previously worked out together. So that in the end it corresponds 1:1 to your desired design.

Data migration

To ensure that nothing is lost along the way, we guide you through the process of migrating your data and create efficient ways to keep the effort as low as possible.

Integration

In addition, we connect your Shopify online store with your system relevant tools and recommend additional tools that simplify your processes and provide useful functionality for your target audience. These include, review tools, content manager, email marketing (CRM), support and much more.

Tracking

A correct database is the basis for a clean online store and segmented marketing. Therefore we attach great importance to clean data. We can set up the native integrations for you or also Google Tag Manager Tracking and ideally also Server Side Tracking. We are happy to advise you on this.

How does a migration to Shopify work?

A migration to Shopify usually involves several steps.

  • 1 Step: Planning and preparation: Together we define your goals and requirements for your move to Shopify. We check which existing data, products, customer information and other relevant information needs to be migrated. We then create a migration plan and set a time frame.
  • Step 2: Create a Shopify account: Now register with Shopify and select a suitable subscription plan that meets your requirements.
  • Step 3: Design customizations: Within the migration process, we can also modernize and customize your design if you wish. To do this, we select a theme from Shopify together and adapt it to your needs and target group.
  • Step 4: Data migration: Now we transfer your existing data such as products, customers, orders, content, etc. to the Shopify store. This can be done manually or by using import tools or migration services. Here we pay attention to data integrity throughout the entire migration process.
  • Step 5: Customizing the settings: Then we configure your required settings in your Shopify store, such as tax rules, shipping options, payment gateways, email notifications, etc.
  • Step 6: Product configuration: We set up your products in Shopify, including product images, descriptions, prices, variants, etc. We check these to make sure everything has been migrated correctly.
  • Step 7: Testing and verification: We carry out comprehensive tests to ensure that all functions work properly. Together we test the checkout process, payments, shipping calculations, etc.
  • Step 8: Go live: Once you're happy with the tests and everything is working properly, we can go live with your Shopify store. We'll make sure your domain is configured correctly and redirect traffic to your new Shopify store.
  • After the migration: We monitor the store to ensure that everything is running smoothly. If necessary, further adjustments or optimizations can be implemented.

What needs to be considered during a store migration?

When migrating a store, especially when switching to a new platform such as Shopify, a number of aspects need to be considered:

  • Data integrity: We ensure that your existing data such as products, customer information, orders, blog posts, etc. are transferred correctly and completely to your new store.
  • Design and user experience: Rethink your design and the user experience of your new store. Adapt the design to your brand and target group and make sure that your store is user-friendly and appealing. Test your navigation, checkout process and other important features to make sure everything works smoothly.
  • SEO and redirects: If you already have search engine optimization (SEO), it should be maintained or even expanded for your new store. We make sure that all URLs are redirected correctly so that your organic search rankings and backlinks are not affected.
  • Payment and shipping options: We check the payment gateways and shipping options that are available in your new store.
  • Testing and verification: We carry out comprehensive tests to ensure that all functions of the new store work flawlessly. We test your checkout process, payments, shipping calculations, product pages and other important aspects before we go live.
  • Communication with customers: It is important to inform your customers about the upcoming store change in case of interruptions.

Will I lose my data if I switch to Shopify?

No, you will not lose your data when you switch to Shopify. When you migrate to Shopify, your existing data such as products, customer information, orders, etc. will be transferred to the new Shopify store. However, we recommend that you create a full backup of your existing data before migrating. This will give you an extra layer of security in case unexpected problems occur during the migration process.

How can existing data be securely transferred to Shopify?

We can upload data manually, import CSV files or use specialized import tools or services to facilitate the migration process. By carefully planning and checking data integrity during the migration, you can ensure that your data is transferred correctly and completely to the Shopify store.

How long does a migration to Shopify take?

The duration of a migration to Shopify can vary depending on the scope of the existing online store and your individual factors. We advise you to allow sufficient time so that the transition runs smoothly and all necessary adjustments and tests can be carried out.

What does a migration to Shopify cost?
