Will we lose order history in the migration?
No. Orders and their history migrate with the catalog and the customers. Keeping the history is the point — a store that arrives at Shopify with an empty order list has lost its most useful asset.
Shopify Tools
Migrations from Magento and WooCommerce that keep the history: catalog, variants, customers, orders, URLs and redirects — plus the automations the store needs on the other side.
The problem
Replatforming by hand loses order history, breaks URLs and takes the store offline at the worst moment.
How it works
Repeatable dry runs, field-level mapping, redirect tables generated from the old sitemap, then a scheduled cutover with rollback.
Impact
Zero-downtime launch with search rankings and customer history intact.
How a migration runs
The old store is mapped field by field
Products, variants, customers, orders and metafields are mapped explicitly before anything moves. Where the old model has no equivalent in Shopify, the decision is made and written down rather than improvised during the cutover.
Dry runs repeat until they are boring
The whole migration runs against a staging store, as many times as it takes. Each run reports what came across, what did not, and why — so the real cutover holds no surprises.
Redirects are generated from the old sitemap
Every indexed URL of the old store gets a 301 to its new equivalent, generated from the sitemap rather than typed by hand. This is the step that decides whether the store keeps its search rankings.
Cutover is scheduled, with a way back
The switch happens at an agreed hour, with a verified rollback plan. If something is wrong, the old store returns — that decision is never made under pressure at three in the morning.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the store down?
The target is zero downtime. Because data moves in repeated dry runs beforehand, the cutover itself is a DNS and configuration switch, not a bulk transfer.
What happens to our Google rankings?
Redirects are generated from the old sitemap so every indexed URL keeps pointing at real content. Rankings move when URLs break; the migration is built to stop them breaking.
