What Makes Shopify the Best Ecommerce Platform to Migrate to?

By: Charlotte Head

Shopify is arguably the fastest, most flexible and most user-friendly ecommerce platform on the market to use and manage. The process of migrating to Shopify from a different hosted platform is no different.

One of the many benefits of Shopify is that there are already many measures in place to make migration as hassle-free as possible. After all, it’s in Shopify’s interest to encourage migration to their platform, and some of the biggest selling points for any customer are ease and convenience. Shopify goes above and beyond in this regard.

Will I lose any of my store’s data when migrating to Shopify?

The main concern of many ecommerce store owners when beginning any online migration process will be the potential loss of essential storefront features.

However, luckily, Shopify has a very strong CSB tool, which moves products and customers in and out seamlessly. There are also RSS feeds in place to transfer blog posts correctly and APIs set up for the smooth transfer of orders. You can therefore rest safe in the knowledge that nothing on your website will be lost or destroyed.

In addition, any data being transferred is carefully regulated by Shopify. While some open-source platforms (and indeed closed-source platforms) will let you move data that is not necessarily compatible with their format, meaning that your data will not work properly on your new website or that you may be left vulnerable to security threats, Shopify does not allow any data through that does not correlate into their platform. This means you will not need to fix any layout or security issues later down the line. Shopify is therefore much more functional and safe than other hosted platforms in this respect.

What aspects of my store can I keep intact during the transfer?

With Shopify, you can seamlessly migrate the following aspects of your store:

>> Products (with variants, images and meta info).
>> Product categories (with all images and meta info).
>> Customer data.
>> Orders and order statuses.
>> Customer reviews.
>> Manufacturers.

You can therefore maintain your storefront, keeping it just the way you want it, but also instantly customise your website to both work and look better using the wide range of Shopify apps available to you. In fact, Shopify’s quick and easy customisation features are what really sets it apart from other ecommerce platforms.
