When done correctly, your SEO rankings should not be negatively affected. We implement 301 redirects for all URLs, preserve your metadata, and follow Shopify's SEO best practices. Many clients actually see improved rankings post-migration due to Shopify's faster performance and clean code structure.

Most migrations take 2-4 weeks from start to finish, depending on the complexity of your store. Simple stores with under 500 products can sometimes be completed in 1-2 weeks, while enterprise stores with custom functionality may require 4-6 weeks. We'll provide a detailed timeline after reviewing your specific requirements.

No. We perform all migration work on a development store that's separate from your live site. Your current store remains fully operational throughout the process. We only switch the DNS to point to your new Shopify store after everything is tested and approved by you, resulting in minimal downtime (typically less than 1 hour).

Yes. We analyze all custom features from your current platform and determine the best approach to replicate them in Shopify. This might involve using existing Shopify apps, custom theme development, or creating private apps for unique business logic. We've successfully migrated complex customizations from Magento, WooCommerce, and other platforms.

We migrate all customer accounts with their complete profile information. For password migration, it depends on your current platform. Some platforms allow encrypted password transfer to Shopify. If not possible, we implement a seamless password reset flow that emails customers with instructions to set new passwords while preserving their accounts and order history.
