Shopify Migration Services

Move to Shopify with your data, SEO and sales protected.

If your current platform is holding your business back, migrating to Shopify is one of the smartest moves you can make.

At Fat Buddha Web Design, we specialise in Shopify migrations for growing brands that want a faster, more reliable and easier-to-manage ecommerce platform. We plan every move to protect your data, your search visibility and your sales.


We handle everything from planning and data migration to redirects, SEO carry-over and post-launch checks, and time the switchover to keep disruption for your customers to a minimum. That's usually a few hours at the DNS change, done out of hours.


If you also need a new look and feel as part of the move, our Shopify web design services can combine migration, UX and visual design in one project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shopify Migration FAQs

Shopify Web Design Example

Rankings can dip for a few weeks after any platform change while Google recrawls the new URLs, so nobody can honestly promise no movement. What we do is keep that risk as low as possible. We map every old URL to its new home and set up 301 redirects, carry over page titles, meta descriptions and key content, and run pre-launch checks on redirects, canonicals and structured data. After launch we monitor Google Search Console for crawl errors and ranking changes, and fix anything that comes up quickly.

Most projects take 6 - 8 weeks. This can be longer depending on catalogue size and migration complexity.

Yes - we can migrate customers emails and historical orders.

Very little. Your existing site stays live while we build and test the new Shopify store. At launch, the domain switch (DNS) can take a few hours to update everywhere, so some visitors may briefly see the old site or a short interruption. We usually switch over late in the evening or overnight to keep any disruption to a minimum.

Yes. Many clients use migration as an opportunity to refresh their branding and improve conversions.

Yes. We offer monthly support, development retainers, and SEO packages.
