Benefits of Migrating to Shopify with LitExtension

1. 3-step simplicity, effortless

Migrating your online store can seem daunting, but LitExtension’s Shopify Migration service, designed with a straightforward 3-step process, offers a remarkably simple solution.

This streamlined approach offers significant benefits over traditional, more complex migration methods.

The most immediate advantage is the minimized time commitment required from you. Instead of grappling with technical details and troubleshooting potential issues, your focus can remain on running your business.

What’s even more, you don’t need to be a coding expert or hire a team of developers since this simplified process also eliminates the need for extensive technical expertise.

LitExtension handles the complexities, allowing you to proceed confidently, even without a strong technical background. This ease of use, coupled with clear, concise steps, leads to a significant reduction in stress often associated with platform migration.

With LitExtension, you can approach your migration from/to Shopify with confidence, knowing the process is designed for clarity and ease from start to finish.

 

2. Selling while migrating

Moving your eCommerce platform doesn’t mean having to put your business on hold. When you choose LitExtension for your Shopify migration, you can keep selling without interruptions as your data seamlessly transfers to your new Shopify store.

Different from traditional migration methods that often require you to put your online store on maintenance mode, LitExtension wipes out this downtime and minimizes the risks of lost revenues.

Our advanced technology ensures your current store keeps your store up and running and remains fully functional throughout the entire migration process.

This means your customers can continue browsing products, placing orders, and enjoying a seamless shopping experience while we transfer all your data behind the curtain.

3. Data security guaranteed

With LitExtension, you can rest assured knowing that data security is at the forefront of our Shopify migration service.

We understand the critical importance of protecting your information, thus, we’ve implemented robust measures to ensure its safety throughout the entire process.

Our secure migration system utilizes advanced encryption technology to safeguard your data during transfer.

This means your information is converted into an unreadable format, preventing unauthorized access as it moves from your existing platform to your new Shopify store.

In addition to encryption, we employ strict data handling protocols and access controls. Only authorized personnel, under strict supervision, can access your data during the migration process.

This multi-layered approach ensures your information remains protected from any potential threats.

4. Risk-free experience

We understand that migrating your online store to a new platform can feel like a leap of faith. With LitExtension’s Shopify Migration service, we take that leap with you, ensuring a risk-free experience from start to finish.

We achieve this by offering a comprehensive set of features designed to eliminate potential concerns and provide complete peace of mind.

Before committing to the full migration, you can take advantage of our free demo migration. This allows you to experience the entire process firsthand, transferring a limited number of product listings, customer details, and other data points to Shopify.

You can then verify the accuracy and consistency of the migrated information, assess the functionality of your new Shopify store, and make an informed decision with zero risks involved.

Furthermore, LitExtension offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with our Shopify migration service, you can request a full refund within 30 days of your migration.

This guarantee reflects our confidence in the quality and reliability of our service, allowing you to proceed with your Shopify migration knowing you have nothing to lose.

5. 3-month free updates

At LitExtension, we believe a successful Shopify migration is not a one-time event, but rather the start of a seamless transition.

That’s why we offer 3 months of free updates after your initial migration, ensuring your new Shopify store reflects the most up-to-date information from your previous platform.

These updates, including Remigration, Recent Data Migration, and Smart Updates, cover any changes, additions, or modifications made to your data within the 3-month period.

Whether it’s new product listings, updated customer details, or revised order information, we ensure everything is accurately reflected in your Shopify store.

This eliminates the need for manual updates, saving you time and effort while preventing data discrepancies between your old and new platforms.

Stage 3. Perform full Shopify migration

This is when the magic happens. LitExtension will migrate website to Shopify completely behind the scenes; therefore, there’s no need to keep your PC on while the data is being transferred. On top of that, you can continue your business as usual during the Shopify migration process.

Shopify migration – All-in-One Package

In many cases, due to the complicated data system of each platform, you might need to go for our All-in-One package. Our Shopify migration experts will take the headache of moving your shop from hard-to-configure platforms (such as Squarespace, Webflow, Zoey,…) to Shopify with ease.

Stage 1. Consultant by LitExtension experts

To gain a clear understanding of your project, we’ll arrange a brief consultation session with you before jumping into action. In this meeting, we will get a chance to learn everything about your Shopify migration, from the size and complexity of your data, any custom fields that you have, all your special requests, and most importantly, your expected deadline and outcomes. We’ll then propose our suggestions and how we can meet your requirements.  After both parties agree on the solutions, we’ll sign an SLA (Service-Level Agreement) to seal the deal.

Stage 2. Data mapping & setting by experts

We begin the Shopify migration by modifying data on your current platform. This involves a deep dive into the complexity of your existing data fields, and identifying areas where modifications were necessary for compatibility. Our approach prioritizes transparency and collaboration, leading us to create a series of demo migrations. These test runs allow us to simulate the data transfer process, closely examining how the modified data fields interacted with Shopify’s infrastructure to ensure everything will be transferred correctly. You will be informed of these demo migrations’ results and give us further comments and inputs when needed.

Stage 3. Perform full Shopify migration

This is the final stage of your Shopify migration project. After you’ve agreed to our demo migration, our experts will proceed to carry out the full migration for you. During this time, you can continue your business as usual since our service runs completely on the cloud. There’s no need to pause your business or put it into maintenance mode.
