Popular Questions About Alibaba to Shopify Migration

Not seeing your question listed here? Contact Us for the quickest answer.

What is Alibaba to Shopify Migration?

While not a direct platform migration, integrating your Alibaba sourcing with your Shopify store involves importing product data, including descriptions, images, and pricing. This Alibaba to Shopify integration can be managed manually or through dedicated apps available on the Shopify app store.

How long does it take to migrate from Alibaba to Shopify?

Integrating your Alibaba sourcing with Shopify doesn’t have a set time frame. The duration depends on the number of products you are integrating, the methods used (manual or app-based), and any customizations required for your Shopify store.

How do I migrate from Alibaba to Shopify without losing SEO?

While Alibaba is not a direct ecommerce platform, integrating its products into Shopify requires careful URL management for optimal SEO. Ensure consistent and user-friendly URLs for all Alibaba-sourced products on your Shopify store to improve search engine visibility.

Can I migrate several languages from Alibaba to Shopify?

Consider translating your product descriptions and other relevant content. Shopify’s multi-language features or apps like Langify can help you reach a wider audience and enhance your international sales potential.

Can I migrate options and attributes from Alibaba to Shopify?

While a direct one-to-one migration of options and attributes might not always be possible, ensure your product listings on Shopify accurately reflect the options available on Alibaba. Use Shopify’s variant system and meta fields effectively to maintain consistency for your customers.

Why my product variants were not migrated from Alibaba to Shopify?

While integrating Alibaba products with your Shopify store, be mindful of Shopify’s variant limits. If your chosen products on Alibaba have more than 99 variants or use more than 3 options, you may need to adjust your product structure on Shopify to accommodate these limitations.

Can I migrate product categories on Alibaba to Shopify?

Create relevant “Collections” on Shopify to organize your products based on product types, suppliers, or other criteria. This will make it easier for customers to browse and find what they need.

Can I migrate my customer passwords from Alibaba to Shopify?

When integrating your Alibaba product offerings with Shopify, keep in mind that customer passwords are not transferred between the platforms. Both platforms have their independent customer account systems and security measures in place. Your customers will manage their passwords separately for Alibaba and your Shopify store.

Can I migrate my Alibaba product SKUs to Shopify?

When integrating products from Alibaba into your Shopify store, remember that you can easily add your own SKUs to those products within Shopify. This allows you to manage your inventory efficiently and maintain consistent product identification across your Shopify store, even for products sourced from Alibaba.

Can I migrate Alibaba reviews to Shopify?

When integrating products from Alibaba into your Shopify store, customer reviews from Alibaba are not transferred. However, you can encourage your customers to leave new reviews on your Shopify store, building a fresh collection of social proof for your products.

I am in the process of moving my existing website over to Shopify. As this is my 4th iteration of my website, I knew I didn’t want to do the migration part myself again! Using this service meant that I could concentrate on running my business for a couple of days while the migration was being done for me.

It was great service from those guys! Verry complex case with very old Woocommerce to new Woocommerce store!

Jen Gerard

I built our new Shopify site myself but with no developer experience. I really struggled migrating products, customers and order history. It was a bit overwhelming until I found Lit. They helped me set it up and did the contract. Emailed me at every stage and listened to my feedback. I found them on Thursday and by Monday the work was completed.

Took most of the work off our hands. The team were great and went out of their way to get the migration from J2store to Shopify completed. The time zone differences were slightly difficult but that didn’t stop the work from being completed.
