Custom Platform to Shopify Migration

Discuss your migration

A discovery-led migration from a proprietary or custom commerce platform to Shopify, designed around data extraction, business rules, integrations, operational continuity, and controlled retirement.

A migration path that makes unknowns visible early and leaves the business with a maintainable, documented commerce foundation.

Migration scope

What the move from Custom platform can include.

The exact scope follows source-platform discovery, data quality, storefront requirements, integrations, SEO, and operational constraints.

01

Store, data and content

Map and move the information customers and internal teams depend on.

  • Source architecture and data discovery
  • Extraction and transformation specification
  • Business-rule and integration mapping
02

Validation and launch

Protect discovery, operations, and trading through the cutover.

  • Shopify architecture and custom extension plan
  • Rehearsal migrations and reconciliation
  • Cutover, rollback, monitoring, and legacy retirement plan
Migration process

Rehearse first. Cut over carefully.

Data, storefront, integrations, SEO, operations, and launch ownership move through one visible plan.

01

Discover the unknowns

Code, schemas, exports, APIs, integrations, owners, and undocumented operational behavior are investigated.

02

Specify the transformation

Every destination entity, business rule, exception, and dependency receives an explicit mapping.

03

Build repeatable migration

Extraction, transformation, loading, reconciliation, and storefront validation are rehearsed.

04

Cut over and retire safely

Final sync, operational handover, monitoring, rollback decisions, and legacy access are planned.

Migration confidence

Protect the business. Not only the data.

01

Unknowns become work

Gaps and assumptions are logged, assigned, tested, and resolved rather than hidden in estimates.

02

Migration is repeatable

Scripts, mappings, and reconciliation can run in rehearsals before the final cutover.

03

Legacy retirement is planned

Access, audit needs, data retention, integrations, and ownership remain clear after launch.

Migration questions

Useful answers before the move.

What if the old platform has no usable API?+

We assess database access, exports, reports, controlled scraping, and other extraction paths during technical discovery.

Can custom business rules be retained?+

Yes where they remain valuable. Each rule is mapped to native Shopify, an app, an extension, or a custom service.

How do you estimate an undocumented platform?+

We begin with a bounded discovery phase that produces the inventory, risks, migration approach, and delivery plan.
