Where are you moving from?
Every platform has its own quirks — different URLs, product structures and gotchas. Pick yours for the details.
- 01
WooCommerce to Shopify
Plugins, hosting and WordPress content.
- 02
Magento to Shopify
Magento 1, Magento 2 and Adobe Commerce.
- 03

Options, modifiers and customer groups.
- 04
Wix to Shopify
When you've outgrown it, and what moves.
- 05
Squarespace to Shopify
Keep the look, gain a platform built to sell.
What moves across
Everything that matters to your customers and to Google — mapped, migrated and checked.
- 01
Products & collections
Variants, images, descriptions, metafields and SEO fields, organised into collections that make sense.
- 02
Customers
Customer records and marketing consent. Passwords can't be moved, so customers are invited to activate their new accounts.
- 03
Order history
Past orders, so customers and your team can still see them.
- 04
Pages & blog
Content pages, blog posts and images, with their SEO titles and descriptions.
- 05
URLs & redirects
Every old URL mapped to its new home with 301 redirects, so rankings and backlinks carry across.
- 06
Apps & integrations
Email, reviews, payments, shipping and accounting reconnected — or replaced with something better.
Your search traffic took years to earn.
When a store moves to Shopify, almost every URL changes. Handle that properly and your rankings carry straight across; skip it and you start again from zero.
Every TigerCommerce migration includes a full URL inventory, a redirect map from old to new, your SEO content carried across deliberately, and monitoring in Search Console after launch.
How a migration runs
Audit and plan
We review the current store, list every URL and agree the scope.
Build alongside
The new Shopify store is designed and built while your current site keeps trading.
Migrate and redirect
Products, customers, orders and content move across, and the redirect map goes in.
Test and launch
Everything checked on mobile and desktop, then the domain switches over.
Watch and tune
Search Console, 404s and tracking monitored while Google re-crawls.

Read the articleMigration questions
Will I lose my Google rankings?
Not if the migration is handled properly. We map every old URL to its new page with 301 redirects, carry your SEO content across and monitor Search Console after launch. Some movement is normal while Google re-crawls; a lasting drop usually means a redirect was missed — which is exactly what the process is there to prevent.
Will my store go offline?
No. The new store is built alongside your current site, and the switch happens at launch by pointing your domain at Shopify.
Can customers keep their passwords?
Passwords can't be moved between platforms securely, so customers are invited to activate their new account. That invite can be a friendly, on-brand email rather than a surprise.
How long does a migration take?
Most migrations are live in around four weeks. Very large catalogues, custom integrations or several sites being merged can take longer — you'll get a timeline before anything starts.
