Shopify Migration Services — Move to Shopify Without Losing SEO or Data

Migrate from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Wix or a custom platform to Shopify, with products, customers, orders and URLs carried across and redirected.

Quick answer

A Shopify migration moves your store’s data and search visibility from another platform to Shopify. Lazapi transfers products, variants, customers, orders and content, maps every old URL to its new address with 301 redirects, rebuilds metadata and structured data, and monitors Google Search Console after launch.

Platforms we migrate from

  • WooCommerce

    Move your WordPress store to Shopify, with the option to keep the blog.

  • BigCommerce

    Products, customers, orders and URL structure mapped to Shopify.

Migration risks we manage

  1. 01

    Lost rankings

    Broken URLs and missing metadata are the main cause of traffic drops. Every URL gets a redirect and every page keeps its metadata.

  2. 02

    Missing data

    Variants, customer accounts and order history are checked against the source, not assumed.

  3. 03

    Downtime

    You keep selling on the old store until launch; a final sync brings across the last orders.

  4. 04

    Feature gaps

    Plugins and extensions are mapped to Shopify apps or theme code before the build starts.

  4. 04

    Build and redirects

    Theme, apps and the full redirect map are set up on the new store.

  5. 05

    Final data sync, DNS switch and Search Console monitoring after launch.

Questions we hear often

Will I lose my Google rankings when I move to Shopify?

Rankings can dip briefly during any migration, but a careful migration keeps them. We redirect every old URL with a 301, carry across titles and descriptions, rebuild structured data and watch Search Console after launch so issues are fixed quickly.

Can customer passwords be migrated?

No. Shopify does not allow passwords to be imported from another platform. Customer accounts, addresses and order history are migrated, and customers receive an invitation to set a new password.

Can you migrate my order history?

Yes. Past orders are imported as historical orders so they appear in reports and customer accounts. They do not trigger emails or fulfilment.

Do I need to stop selling during the migration?

No. The old store keeps trading while we build the new one. Just before launch we run a final sync to bring across new orders and customers, then switch the domain.

How long does a migration take?

It depends on catalogue size, integrations and design work. After the audit we give you a written timeline with a launch date.
