Platform Migrations

Move to Shopify from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, or Salesforce Commerce Cloud — without losing sales, data, or your search rankings. Migrations are one of the things we do best.

Saints & Sparrows migrates ecommerce stores to Shopify and Shopify Plus from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and site builders like Wix and Squarespace. A typical migration takes 6–12 weeks and covers everything: products, customers, orders, design, integrations, and the 301 redirects that protect your Google rankings. You keep selling the whole time.

What we migrate from

WooCommerce, Magento 1 and 2, BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud (Demandware), Wix, Squarespace, Volusion, and custom-built carts. If your platform has an export or an API, we can move you.

What’s included in every migration

  1. Audit and migration plan. We count everything — products, variants, customers, orders, pages, URLs — and give you a fixed quote and timeline. No hourly surprises.
  2. Data migration. Products, customers, order history, reviews, gift cards, and metafields, validated line-by-line against source counts.
  3. Design. Port your current look onto a fast Shopify theme, or use the move as the excuse for the redesign you’ve been putting off.
  4. Apps and integrations. We map your current plugins to Shopify equivalents and reconnect your ERP, 3PL, email platform, and marketplaces.
  5. SEO preservation. A complete 301 redirect map, title and meta parity, and structured data — then we watch Search Console for 90 days after launch.
  6. QA and cutover. Real-device testing, checkout verification, and a DNS cutover measured in hours, not days.

How long does a Shopify migration take?

Most migrations run 6–12 weeks. A straightforward theme-based move with a clean catalog can land in 4; an enterprise SFCC migration with ERP integrations runs longer. The biggest variable is the state of your product data — our product data preparation guide shows how to get it ready.

What does it cost?

Most replatforms land between $10,000 and $50,000 depending on catalog size, integrations, and design scope. Very large catalogs or heavy custom functionality push higher. Full cost breakdown: How much does a Shopify migration cost?

Platform-specific guides

Every source platform has its own quirks. See our WooCommerce to Shopify checklist, BigCommerce to Shopify SEO guide, and Magento vs Shopify comparison — and for the rankings side of any move, 301 redirects for replatforming.

What's included

  • ✓Full data migration — products, customers, orders, SEO
  • ✓URL mapping and 301 redirects that protect rankings
  • ✓Theme rebuild or port to Shopify
  • ✓App and integration re-platforming
  • ✓Pre-launch QA and a staged cutover
  • ✓Post-launch monitoring for traffic and revenue

How it works

  1. 1Audit — your current store, data, URLs, and what has to survive the move.
  2. 2Map — the redirect and data plan before anything moves.
  3. 3Build — your Shopify store and migrate the data.
  4. 4Cutover — a tested, low-risk go-live with redirects in place.
  5. 5Verify — we watch rankings and revenue and fix anything that slips.
A bad migration destroys two things: your conversion history and your SEO equity. We're obsessive about protecting both.

Common questions

Will we lose our Google rankings?
Not if it's done right. A complete 301 redirect map and preserved URL structure carry your equity across. Protecting rankings is the whole point of a careful migration.
What platforms do you migrate from?
WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Wix, Squarespace, and others.
Will our data come across?
Products, customers, order history, and SEO metadata all migrate. We reconcile everything before cutover.
How long does a migration take?
Depends on catalog size and complexity — we give you an honest timeline after the audit.
