How to migrate from Shopify Plus to Saleor

Migrating an online store is one of the trickiest migrations: besides the catalog, you need to protect product-URL SEO and not lose orders in progress.

  1. 1

    Export the catalog from Shopify Plus

    Export products, variants, images and categories to CSV. Include each product's SKU — you'll need it to avoid duplicating references on import.

  2. 2

    Import the catalog into Saleor in a staging environment

    Before touching the production store, import the catalog into a separate Saleor instance and check that prices, stock and images look correct.

  3. 3

    Reconnect payment gateway and shipping

    Payment integrations (Stripe, PayPal) and shipping don't migrate — reconfigure them in Saleor and place a real end-to-end test order before launching.

  4. 4

    Redirect the old URLs

    Set up 301 redirects from Shopify Plus's product URLs to their equivalents in Saleor so you don't lose accumulated SEO ranking.

Before cancelling Shopify Plus

Before cancelling Shopify Plus, export the full order and customer history — many tax obligations require keeping those records for years.
