Switching to Shoplazza involves deciding how to migrate your data effectively. The choice between using the Store Migration App (for Shopify users only) or importing data through spreadsheets in XLSX format depends on the type of data you need to transfer. Below is a table that provides a comparison to help guide your decision:

Importing spreadsheet files

Importing files through spreadsheets or more commonly referred as CSV imports is the most reliable way to transfer structured information from other hosting platforms to your Shoplazza Admin.

If you frequently use spreadsheet applications such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, or import data into Microsoft Outlook, you may come across a comma-separated values file, also known as a CSV. A CSV file is a plain text file that can be opened in many programs, such as the Notepad app. The content of a CSV file is organized in a specific manner, which sets it apart from other file types.

Migrating your content

Your blog posts can be directly imported through the help of the store migration App if your current store is based on Shopify. If you have other existing content that needs to be transferred alone with your store data. Below are some keypoints you might want to pay extra attention to when you initiate this process:

• Content formatting

Ensure that the formatting of your webpage content, including text, images, and multimedia elements, remains consistent after the transfer. Check for any discrepancies or issues that may arise due to differences in formatting options between platforms. This is particularly important when you are redesigning your content with the Shoplazza Theme Editor. You may want to understand what tools and features you will be working with to complete this process.

• SEO Optimization

Pay close attention to your webpage URLs, meta tags, titles, and descriptions. Ensure that they are properly migrated to Shoplazza, preserving important keywords and SEO optimizations. This will help maintain your search engine rankings and organic traffic.

• Content organization

Review the structure and organization of your webpage content. Ensure that categories, menus, and navigation are appropriately set up in the new platform. Verify that the hierarchy and arrangement of your content are maintained for a seamless user experience. There might be minor differences in the way platforms organize your content, such as your store navigation, and collection filters that enable a more effortless shopping experience.

• Broken links and redirects

Check for any broken links or internal references within your webpage content. Create redirects from old URLs to new ones to ensure that visitors are directed to the correct pages of your Shoplazza store. This will help maintain the integrity of your website and prevent users from encountering 404 errors.

• Reviewing your content

Take the opportunity to review your webpage content during the transfer. Update any outdated information, correct errors, and enhance the overall quality of your webpages. This is a good time to make any final edits before you officially launch your first Shoplazza store.

The final step

After successfully transferring your products, categories, and customer data to your Shoplazza Admin, the next step is to finalize the setup of your store. This involves configuring your shipping profile, sales tax rules, payment provider integration, and pointing your domain to Shoplazza.
