Shopify migration service FAQs
Got questions about migrating to Shopify or Shopify Plus? Scan our FAQs for answers
Is Shopify a good platform for established eCommerce businesses?
Yes, Shopify is well suited to established and growing eCommerce brands. It’s reliable, scalable, and easier to manage than many legacy platforms. Shopify reduces technical overhead while supporting complex product catalogues, integrations, and multi-channel selling. This makes it a strong long-term platform for growth-focused businesses.
When does it make sense to migrate to Shopify or Shopify Plus?
Migration is usually worth considering when your current platform feels slow, hard to manage, or expensive to maintain. Common triggers include performance issues, limited flexibility, or reliance on developers for simple changes. Shopify Plus may be appropriate if you need advanced automation, B2B features, or higher-volume support. We can help assess your current setup and advise whether Shopify or Shopify Plus makes sense for where your business is heading.
How long does it take to migrate to Shopify?
The timeline for migrating to Shopify really depends on the complexity of your project. On average, it takes about 3 to 4 months. Factors like the size of your product catalog, design requirements, and any custom functionalities and integrations play a big role.
If you have a tight deadline, our team can fast-track your project to meet your schedule. For a more precise estimate, contact us to discuss your specific needs in detail.
Which platforms can you migrate to Shopify from?
We migrate stores from Magento 2, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Neto (by Maropost), Square, and other custom platforms. Each migration is planned around the differences in data structure and functionality. This ensures products, customers, and orders are transferred accurately. The process is tailored to your existing setup.
Will I lose any data during a Shopify migration?
No, your core data is preserved during migration. Products, customers, order history, and key content are migrated safely. Passwords are not transferred for security reasons, but customer accounts are retained. Customers can reset their passwords once the new store is live.
Will my customers notice the migration?
Customers can continue shopping on your existing site while the new Shopify store is built in the background. Launch is planned carefully to minimise disruption. In most cases, customers only notice an improved experience after go-live. Any required communication, such as password resets, is handled clearly.
Will my SEO rankings be affected when migrating to Shopify?
SEO can be protected with the right migration process. We map URLs, implement redirects, and carry over metadata where possible. Site structure and performance are often improved as part of the move. While short-term fluctuations can happen, the goal is to preserve and strengthen long-term search visibility.
Will there be downtime during the Shopify migration?
Downtime is typically minimal or avoided altogether. Most of the work happens in a staging environment while your current site remains live. Domain and DNS changes are scheduled carefully. This keeps disruption to customers and sales as low as possible.
How long does a Shopify migration usually take?
Most Shopify migration projects take around 3–4 months. Timing depends on store size, custom features, integrations, and content readiness. You’ll receive a clear migration plan and timeline upfront. This helps keep the process structured and predictable.
How much does it cost to migrate to Shopify?
Migration costs vary based on complexity, data volume, and required customisation. Projects often start from around $20k and increase with advanced features or integrations. Pricing includes planning, data migration, design, setup, and testing. A detailed scope is provided before work begins.
Can migration and redesign be handled together?
Yes, migration and redesign are often combined. This allows you to move platforms while improving usability, performance, and brand presentation. Handling both together avoids rework later. The result is a cleaner, more future-proof Shopify store.
Do you provide support after the Shopify migration is complete?
Yes, every migration includes a post-launch QA and support period. This covers bug fixes, checks, and minor adjustments. After that, you can opt into ongoing support if you want continued help. This gives you flexibility as your store evolves.
Why work with Rainstorm for a Shopify migration?
Rainstorm brings over 12 years of eCommerce experience across multiple platforms. We understand how different systems handle data, integrations, and workflows. This reduces risk and avoids common migration issues. Clients value our clear communication and structured approach.
Is Shopify Plus required for complex or high-volume stores?
Not always. Many complex stores run successfully on standard Shopify. Shopify Plus is useful for advanced automation, B2B, or high transaction volumes. We help you decide whether Plus is necessary based on real operational needs.
