Store Migration｜Migrating your store from Shopify

Migrating your store to Shoplazza is now easier than ever! With the Store Migration Tool, you can seamlessly transfer your Shopify data while saving time and effort. This guide walks you through the step-by-step process, from setting up your Shoplazza account to verifying your migration results.

Before you migrate

• Shopify's Basic plan has limited access to customer data. Here's what you need to know when migrating:
  • Orders: Orders will be migrated without customer details (name, address, phone, email, etc.).
  • Customer Records: Direct migration of customer profiles is not available.
  • Discount Rules: Discount settings will transfer, but any customer-specific conditions will be removed.
• To fully migrate customer data, you’ll need to upgrade to the Shopify, Advanced, or Plus plan.

If you only need customer information (without orders or discount codes), simply export the customer list from Shopify and import it into Shoplazza. Follow this step-by-step guide to import customers:Customer management | Importing customer information

Step 1 : Installing the Store Migration App

1. Access the app: From your Shoplazza Admin > Apps, click Visit App Store.

2. Find the app: Search for Store Migration   in the search box and click Add app to add it to your store.

3. Enter the plugin and click the Shopify icon. You will be prompted to enter the source store URL and store access key. The following section will explain how to obtain these two pieces of information.

Step 2: Obtain Account Information

Get the source store URL

1. Log in to your Shopify panel and copy the store’s admin URL.

2. Enter the Shopify admin store URL into the plugin under Authorized Store → Source Store URL.

Creating an App

Create a dedicated app in Shopify for migration. Once created, you will obtain a Client ID and Client Secret.

1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel and click Settings in the bottom-left corner.

Situation 1: When the following interface is displayed, click "Develop apps", then click "Build apps in Dev Dashboard" to enter the developer application interface.

Situation 2: After clicking "Develop apps", first click the "Learn more" button, then click "Go to Dev Dashboard" to enter the developer application interface.

2. After entering the dashboard, click the "Create app" button on the page.

3. In the pop-up window, select "Start from Dev Dashboard". You can enter any name in the "App name" field, then click "Create".

4. On the app configuration page, enter the default URL in the "App URL" field: https://shopify.dev/apps/default-app-home.

5. Based on the data you want to migrate, go to "Access" and click "Select scopes" to configure the API scopes. Currently, the supported migration data includes product information, blog information, customer information, order information, and discount code information.

6. To ensure a smooth migration process and avoid any issues, it is recommended to select all "read" and "write" permissions for the following two modules (excluding Payments permissions) to ensure complete data migration:

7. After completing the above steps, click "Release" to publish.

Install the App

1. After completing the above steps and successfully releasing the app, click App Home in the left-hand menu.

2. Click Install app in the top-right corner of the page to install the application.

3. Select the target store for migration and click Install to complete the installation.

If the installation fails due to insufficient permissions, please check the staff permission settings or contact the store owner for assistance.

Obtain Authorization Information

1. After the installation is successful, return to the app management page of the app you just created, click Settings in the left-hand menu, and copy the Client ID and Client Secret.

Step 3: Start Migration

1. Select Shopify Migration Platform, click Start Migration, and after entering the Authorized Store page, fill in the authorization information to complete the verification.

2. Click Next to go to the migration module selection, and choose the modules you want to migrate.

3. After confirming the migration modules, click Start Migration to go to the data migration progress page.

4. The data migration page will display the progress for each module. If the data volume is large, migration may take longer. You can return to the homepage without waiting—the migration task will continue running, and you can check the results once it is completed.

5. While the migration task is running, you can cancel the migration. Canceling will stop any data that has not yet been migrated, but the data that has already been migrated will remain unaffected.

6. After the data migration is complete, you can navigate to the corresponding page to view the successfully migrated data.
