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.
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.

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.
Lotus was phenomenal! She is detailed-oriented and works extremely fast! She helped with the migration from Wix to Shopify in no time. Thank you so much Lotus and everyone at LitExtension!
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.
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.
I absolutely appreciate the professionalism, how quick and efficient they were in migrating my products and customer orders over from GoDaddy to Shopify. They communicated very well and would definitely recommend them.
Great support and communications during the migration process, quick responses to every questions that we had. Very happy with their services. Thank you.
