Will our customers’ accounts be retained when we migrate to Shopify?

While our Shopify migration can transfer your customers’ key information, such as names, email addresses, billing, and shipping details, passwords cannot be transferred due to the platform’s encryption policies. As a result, all customer profiles will appear as “deactivated” on your store after the migration.

To re-engage your customers, you can manually send account activation emails through your Shopify admin. LitExtension does not automatically send these invitations; therefore, this step must be handled on your end.

The good news is, with Shopify’s updated login flow, your customers can now access their accounts more easily:

  • If a customer already has a profile in your Shopify admin, they don’t need a password. They can log in using their email address and a one-time, 6-digit code sent to that email.
  • If a customer enters an email that isn’t associated with a current profile, Shopify will automatically create a new profile for them.
  • If a customer uses the Shop app, they can choose to log in via Shop or with a one-time code. Either method provides them with access to their account, and if they use Shop Pay, their checkout information will be automatically filled in for a faster, one-tap experience.

Let us know if you’d like help guiding your customers through the activation process!
