Due to the peculiarities of Shopify functionality, it sets limits for product variants. Thus, it is not allowed to migrate each product with more than 99 variants and 3 attributes from PrestaShop to Shopify.
No way to migrate passwords from PrestaShop to Shopify, since each shopping cart has its own password encryption peculiarities, moreover Shopify was the hosted eCommerce solution and none can touch to Shopify database to check Shopify password encryption.
Shopify doesn’t allow creating product options and attributes. So, you cannot migrate options and attributes from PrestaShop to Shopify. But don’t worry, if your Source Cart has this type of data, during the data migration process, LitExtension will generate product variants out of your existing product options on your Target Shopify Store.
Regarding attributes, to have product descriptions displayed, our tool will import them to meta fields on Shopify. Note that, due to Shopify’s limitations, any product on Shopify only has less than 99 variants. As a result, your products will be migrated from PrestaShop to Shopify with no more than 99 variants and 3 attributes.
Yes, you can possibly migrate categories and subcategories of products from PrestaShop to Shopify. However, in Shopify, products will be located under collections only. Therefore, all categories and subcategories of products from the Source Store will be changed into collections in Shopify.
To ensure the platform remains stable and fair for everyone, all Shopify APIs are rate-limited. Shopify APIs use several different rate-limiting methods.
As you may have known, custom fields are not available on Shopify. However, the platform offers meta fields. By default, our PrestaShop to Shopify migration tool imports product attributes from your source store to meta fields on your Target Store. To have them displayed on Shopify admin, you will have to install the Metafields Guru app.
On Shopify, SKUs are provided only for variants and simple products (products with no variants). Therefore, SKUs from your Source Store will be imported to variants or simple products on Shopify Store. That’s why migrating product SKUs from PrestaShop to Shopify is impossible if they are not simple products.
Unfortunately, several languages PrestaShop to Shopify migration can’t be processed. In this case, you can use an app that will allow you to translate the storefront into multiple languages or exploit several stores.
Our migration tool imports data from PrestaShop to Shopify via API which has limitations. One limitation is that we cannot import the “created_at” date-time, but it is autogenerated by Shopify instead. That’s why you see the same date/time as migration data/time instead of the actual date/time.
