Webshop migration

We move you to PrestaShop. The search ranking comes along.

Products, categories, customers, orders and the old addresses. Redirects are built together with the migration, not after it.

Where migrations go wrong

Moving the data is the easier half. The harder half is that search engines and returning customers still find the webshop.

Lost addresses

Without redirects the old results lead to error pages and the ranking built up over years is lost.

Locked out customers

Passwords cannot be moved from every system. That calls for a password reset, not a new registration.

Incomplete product data

Variants, attributes and related products are what most often get left out of a transfer.

What we do

What the migration covers.

Data review

We review the current data and write down what can move and what has no equivalent.

Data transfer

Products, variants, images, categories, customers, addresses, orders and order states.

Redirects

Old addresses are matched to the new ones and redirected with a 301.

Payment and shipping

Payment and shipping methods configured and run through on the new webshop.

Rehearsal

The transfer runs as a rehearsal first, and the result is compared item by item with the old system.

Go live

The switch happens at an agreed time, followed by watching ranking and the error log.

How it works

Review, rehearsal, go live.

Frequent questions

What people ask before a migration.

Which systems can we move from?
From most common systems. Where there is no export we work from the database or the public data of the webshop.
Do customers need new passwords?
From most systems passwords cannot be moved safely. In that case a reset mail goes out and the account is kept.
Is the search ranking kept?
That is why redirects are built together with the migration, not after it. Ranking typically settles back within a few weeks.
How long is the webshop down?
The switch itself takes minutes, because the data is already in the new system.
Does order history come across?
Yes, orders and their states come across, so customers see their earlier purchases in their account.
