OpenCart to Shopify Migration

Yes. Shopify supports multilingual stores through its native language settings and compatible translation apps. You can add and manage multiple languages in Shopify settings, allowing customers to browse your store in their preferred language.

The migration time depends on your OpenCart store size, data volume, and data complexity. A small store with a few hundred products may be migrated within a few hours, while larger stores with many products, orders, images, product options, attributes, custom fields, or multiple languages may require more time to review and transfer.

OpenCart to Shopify migration can affect SEO if URLs, redirects, metadata, internal links, and sitemap settings are not handled properly. To reduce SEO risk, map important OpenCart product, category, and CMS page URLs to their new Shopify URLs, create 301 redirects where possible, review meta titles and descriptions, update internal links, and monitor 404 errors after launch.

Yes. You can transfer OpenCart to Shopify, including products, customers, orders, categories, coupons, CMS pages, images, and SEO-related data. The migration can be handled manually with CSV files, through a migration app, or with an OpenCart to Shopify migration service like LitExtension.

Switching from OpenCart to Shopify usually involves preparing your OpenCart data, setting up your Shopify store, migrating store data, configuring your Shopify theme, setting up payment, tax, and shipping settings, testing checkout, and creating 301 redirects before launch.

If your store exceeds the free migration limit, you can still migrate the additional records for an extra fee. The final cost depends on the number of products, customers, orders, blog posts, and migration options you choose. Use the Pricing Estimator to check the estimated cost for your store.

OpenCart to Shopify migration can take longer due to Shopify’s API rate limits, which control how quickly data can be transferred to maintain system stability.

The overall duration also depends on the size of your OpenCart database, the complexity of data relationships, and the number of products, customers, and orders being migrated. Custom fields, multilingual content, and SEO data can further extend the process.

Although it may take time, these measures ensure data accuracy, prevent errors, and maintain consistent store performance during migration.

Yes. You can migrate product reviews from OpenCart to Shopify, including details such as reviewer names, ratings, review titles, content, and creation dates.

The data can be imported into Shopify using review apps like Judge.me, Loox, or Shopify Product Reviews. Properly transferring reviews helps preserve your store’s social proof, customer trust, and SEO value.

Using the LitExtension OpenCart to Shopify migration service ensures all review data is mapped and imported accurately into the corresponding products.

Yes. Product SKUs from OpenCart can be fully migrated to Shopify, including SKUs for both simple and variant products.

During migration, each SKU is preserved to maintain accurate product tracking, inventory management, and order processing. Ensuring SKU consistency between platforms is essential for seamless integration with apps, fulfillment systems, and reports.

LitExtension OpenCart to Shopify migration service guarantees all SKUs are transferred correctly and remain linked to the right products and variants.

Customer passwords cannot be migrated from OpenCart to Shopify due to Shopify’s security and encryption protocols.

Password data is encrypted and inaccessible to ensure customer privacy and data protection. After the migration, customers will need to reset their passwords to access their accounts on the new Shopify store.

You can notify them via email with account activation or password reset links to ensure a smooth and secure login experience.
