Platform Migrations

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. See our honest breakdown: Shopify migration timelines.

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?

FAQ

Will we lose our Google rankings? Not if the migration is done right. Rankings drop when redirects are skipped or content parity is ignored — which is exactly what our SEO-preservation step exists to prevent.

Can we keep selling during the migration? Yes. We build your Shopify store in parallel while your current store runs. The cutover happens in a maintenance window measured in hours.

Do you migrate order history? Yes — orders, customers, and purchase history come with you, so your email flows, LTV data, and support lookups keep working.
