You can turn these off from your staff notification settings:
- Log in to your Shopify admin and go to Settings > Notifications.
- Click Staff notifications.
- Next to each staff member’s name, click the ⋯ (more) menu and select Turn off.
- Repeat for every staff member you want to stop notifying.
- After the migration, follow the same steps and select Turn on to reactivate the notifications. You can also check Shopify’s official staff notification instructions for more details.
This only affects internal staff alerts – customers won’t receive any emails about past orders even while staff notifications are on. If you’re migrating data with LitExtension, we’ll prompt you at the first step to turn these off temporarily, since each migrated order is treated as a brand-new order, which can trigger a flood of staff emails during transfer.
Important: If you have marketing plugins that use order triggers (e.g., Shopify Flow, Conversion), disable them too before migrating. Otherwise, they may fire automatically on imported orders and send customers unwanted emails like “Order created,” “Order fulfilled,” or “Order paid.”
