Step-by-Step Guide: Migrating from osCommerce to Shopify
Follow these steps to easily move your store from osCommerce to Shopify using the LitExtension tool:
- Go to the LitExtension app.
- Sign up with your email, or use Google to log in fast.
- If you already have an account, just enter your email and password.

Watch our video tutorial to see exactly how it works:
Step 1: Connect Your Source Cart and Target Cart
First, connect LitExtension to both osCommerce and Shopify so it can move your data.
On the Migration Page, click Create New Migration.
1.1. Set Up Your Source Cart (osCommerce)
Choose osCommerce from the drop-down menu and enter your store’s web address (URL).
You will see instructions based on your choice. You can connect your store in three ways:
- Install a Connector file (for open-source stores).
- Use API Keys (for hosted stores).
- Upload CSV Files (if your store is down or you have server issues).
1.2. Set Up Your Target Cart (Shopify)
Choose Shopify from the drop-down menu and type in your Shopify URL.
Follow the same steps you used above to connect Shopify using a Connector, API, or CSV file.
Step 2: Choose What to Move from osCommerce to Shopify
Now, pick the exact data you want to copy over. You can also pick extra settings to boost your new store’s SEO and setup.
Select Data to Migrate
Choose what you want to move. For an osCommerce to Shopify move, you can select:
- Products
- Product Categories
- Customers
- Orders
- Coupons
- Blog Posts
You can also just click Select All to move everything.
If you need to move something not on this list, please contact LitExtension experts for help.
Select the Additional Options
Check out the Additional Options to customize your move. Popular choices include:
- Clear data on Shopify before moving: Deletes old data on your new store to prevent duplicates.
- Keep old IDs for products, customers, and orders: Keeps your data numbers the same so everything stays linked and easy to manage.
- Create 301 Redirects: Automatically sends visitors from your old store links to your new Shopify links so you don’t lose traffic.
- Remove HTML tags: Cleans up messy code in your product and category names.
- Turn osCommerce Categories into Shopify Collections: Shopify uses Collections instead of categories. This option converts them for you automatically.

Step 3: Start Full Migration
Once you’ve picked your data and settings, you’re ready to go.
We suggest running a Demo Migration first to see how it works. Read our demo guide to learn more.
If you want to skip the demo, check Skip Demo Migration and click Start Full Migration.
The move takes a little time depending on how much data you have. Because LitExtension runs in the cloud, you can close your browser or turn off your computer while it works. You can check your progress anytime on the migration page.
You will need to pay before the full move starts. We accept many payment methods, like PayPal, Bank Transfers, and Crypto.
After the Move: osCommerce to Shopify Checklist
When you see “Full Migration Is Completed”, it’s time to check your new store.
- Check Product Visibility: Most items will show up right away. Out-of-stock items are hidden by default. Search your store to find them.
- Look at Product Details: Make sure descriptions, images, options (variants), and SEO tags look right.
- Check Your Setup: Remember, Shopify uses Collections and Tags. Your osCommerce categories should now be Shopify Collections.
- Check the Back-End: Log into Shopify and make sure your customer list and old orders are there.
