Hire a Shopify expert for the migration process
Hiring a Shopify expert to migrate your store makes things a lot easier. Shopify experts can perform a complete migration process without any hassle. They perform the migration process with 100% security of the data. 

Copy content from your old website
Copy and paste option is quite practical for migrating small amounts of content. The website with fewer products or pages can use this option of migration.

Use the migration app from the Shopify store
Migration apps reduce the amount of work that you have to perform for migration. There are many free and paid applications in Shopify's app store, using which products and data can be transferred. 

Transfer products manually using CSV file

Shopify can convert data from CSV file into products. CSV file can be exported from the old Magento store and can be imported in Shopify. Make sure that the CSV file that you exported from the old store is matching the format of Shopify. If the format does not match then the import process fails. CSV file can be uploaded form the products section of Shopify.

The last two methods of data migration use the third party application and methods. If the migration process doesn't go as planned then you may face the situation of data loss. Hiring professional Shopify experts to perform this complex task would be more advisable.

Which makes it easier for a user to find your products on your new website.

Testing of the new website


Now the website is completely configured. All the settings concerning domain, tax configuration, payment gateways setting, and shipping are completed. It's time to test the new website. Try to perform a few transactions on your website. Try to place a few test orders to make sure that everything is working as expected. Try to perform different transactions like canceling the order, refund, and completing the failed transaction.

URL redirection


Make sure that you redirect the old product pages to the new website URLs. As we are changing the platform many of the URLs will be changed. Many of your customers might have bookmarked your old website URLs. As per SEO perspective, you might be getting do-follow links on your old URLs.
