Run your business continuously.

Magento Migration is not the work of a couple of hours only but it does need the time which means you can’t stop using your current Magento store until your new store on Shopify is fully ready to start.

 

Decide what you want to migrate

You must be having so many things in your store and will need to make a decision that what is most important to be migrated on the 1st priority and then what can be done on the 2nd or 3rd priority.

For instance, your store contains details of your products, information of your customers, orders’ history, the status of each order, and complete data of the store. If you are using Magento for a very long time, there must be some outdated features that the world has left behind, as the new practices are introduced in the market. Whatsoever, it is decided by you and your business partner, it will have to be redesigned as per the new store’s look.

 

Setup account on Shopify

You can easily get the free trial before getting your feet fully wet after making the final decision to move on it. It is an opportunity for you to familiarize yourself with the new store and its features, collections, page themes, designs. Shopify offers amazing customer support, who works as a best friend throughout the process.

 

Keep the backup store

You will need to keep the full backup of your Magento store because everything doesn’t work as a plan in the migration process and can cause you to harm in any unexpected way that is why plan B is always beneficial. 

 

Data Migration

You can use apps such as Cart2Cart and Shopify’s Magento importer to assist in your migration process. You have the option to export and import the data manually as well. Online tutorials for importing data into hosted platforms are also available if you are not a tech-savvy individual then hiring a developer is recommended as a second option.

Testing process

You will need to run the testing process in order to ensure the migration of everything into a new store. You will need to check the migrated data of customers and then will have to organize them from all the business aspects to access.

 

Revamp your website

Migrating from one platform to another means adjustment of the front end with back end ones. Your new store can’t look like the previous store because of the difference in the platform, offered themes, settings, and design styles. Shopify offers a collection of themes and designers/experts can help you help the customized eCommerce store. After finalizing your new theme, now you need to update the content fits well as per the page and products. Proofreading and checking everything on your website is very much important as we all know a famous saying that first impression is last.

 

If you follow all the above-mentioned steps, we are sure that you will be pretty satisfied with your decision to migrate.
