Shopping cart migration, in general, or migration to Shopify<\/a>, in particular, is no longer scary with the help of LitExtension. You only need 3 simple steps to automatically transfer every important data from your old store to a new store on Shopify accurately and securely.<\/p>\n

If you've just finished a Shopify migration with LitExtension, here is the checklist to set up Shopify store after the process<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

Step 1: Check if your data has been migrated correctly <\/b><\/h2>\n

Once you've ticked all the boxes of the Shopify migration checklist, all of your products, except for those that are out of stock, will be displayed on the storefront. Therefore, you can easily find them from the catalog or by onsite search.<\/strong> Nevertheless, you should check your product details carefully, including product descriptions, images, variants, and meta descriptions (learn more about how to add meta tag to Shopify).<\/em><\/p>\n

One thing you should be aware of if you\u2019re new to Shopify is that there aren\u2019t categories and subcategories here. Instead, you will have collections and product tags. As a result, data in categories and subcategories on your Source store will be moved to corresponding collections and tags on Shopify.<\/p>\n

In the worst-case scenario, if you encounter some issues with the migrated data, you should use the Shopify backup and re-run the migration.<\/p>\n

After checking data on your front end, log in to the admin area and go through customs as well as order data from the backend.<\/p>\n

Note<\/b>: In case you want to transfer product reviews over, too, please follow these additional steps to import reviews to Shopify:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Install a free Product Reviews app on your target Shopify store (before or after the migration)<\/li>\n
  2. Export reviews from your Source store to a CSV file<\/li>\n
  3. Go to your Shopify admin, navigate to Apps -> Product Reviews -> Settings<\/li>\n
  4. Then click on the Import button in the top bar<\/li>\n
  5. Hit the \u201cChoose file\u201d button and select the CSV file you\u2019ve exported<\/li>\n
  6. Click the \u201cImport\u201d button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
