How to migrate from Webflow to Shopify: Detail Guide By LitExtension Expert
Migrate your important data, including Products, Customers, Orders, Coupons, Reviews, Blogs, etc., from Webflow to Shopify quickly and securely. Our Webflow to Shopify Migration is managed by experienced specialists who handle all technical aspects with precision. We guarantee secure and accurate data transfer while ensuring your Webflow store remains fully functional throughout.
How to Manually Transfer Data from Webflow to Shopify
Since Webflow and Shopify operate on fundamentally different architectures, a manual migration requires a steady hand and a clear plan. If you prefer to handle the transition yourself rather than using our migration service, follow this comprehensive 5-step roadmap.
Pre-Migration Requirements. Before you begin, ensure you have:
- Full Admin Access for both your Webflow and Shopify accounts.
- A Stable Connection to prevent data corruption during imports.
The DIY Migration Checklist:
- Step 1: Export Data from Webflow
- Step 2: Import Data into Shopify
- Step 3: Review, Optimize, and Test Your Shopify Store
Step 1: Export Data from Webflow
You must extract three distinct types of data. Note that dynamic features like checkout and forms must be rebuilt natively in Shopify.
Static Site Code. Extract your HTML, CSS, and assets to use as a design reference for your new Shopify theme (Requires a paid Workspace Plan):
- Step 1: Open the Webflow Designer.
- Step 2: Click the Export Code icon.
- Step 3: Select Prepare ZIP, then click Download ZIP to save the files locally.
- Step 1: Open the CMS Collections panel.
- Step 2: Select the specific collection you want to move.
- Step 3: Click the Export button at the top to download your CSV file.
- Step 4: Repeat for every collection you need to migrate.
- Step 1: Go to the CMS Panel and select the Ecommerce tab.
- Step 2: Choose the data type you need (e.g., Products or Orders).
- Step 3: Click the Export button to generate and download your CSV data.
Step 2: Import Data into Shopify
You can import your data into Shopify using a CSV file, but Shopify has a strict CSV format. Follow these steps to import your data correctly:
- Step 1: Prepare your CSV file. Edit your Webflow CSV to match Shopify’s import template. Make sure it includes required columns such as Handle, Title, Body (HTML), Vendor, Tags, Option1 Name, Option1 Value, Variant SKU, Variant Price, Variant Inventory Qty, Image Src, and more. Save the file in UTF-8 CSV format.
- Step 2: Upload the CSV to Shopify. In your Shopify Admin, go to Products > Import, select your CSV file, and start the import process.
- Step 3: Add product images. Webflow exports usually do not include image URLs. If your images are hosted online, add their URLs to the Image Src column. If not, upload images manually in Shopify after the import.
- Step 4: Review and fix errors. After the import, carefully check your products. Review titles, descriptions, variants, SKUs, prices, inventory, images, and collections, then fix any missing data or broken links.
Step 3: Review, Optimize, and Test Your Shopify Store
Review your Shopify store to make sure everything looks good, works properly, and is ready to launch:
- Adjust your design using Shopify’s theme editor or Liquid to match your style.
- Add SEO elements such as page titles, meta descriptions, and image alt text, and set up 301 redirects to handle URL changes and protect your rankings.
- Check that all content: products, pages, blog posts, etc. has migrated correctly.
- Finally, test navigation, links, checkout, and payments, review mobile and desktop responsiveness, and run speed tests to fix any performance issues before going live.
Manually moving data from Webflow to Shopify is possible, but it takes time, care, and technical effort. You must export your data correctly, follow Shopify’s strict CSV rules, rebuild design elements, and carefully review SEO, content, and store functions. If you follow each step closely, you can create a stable and fully working Shopify store. However, for large stores or complex data, a manual migration can be risky and time-consuming. In those cases, using a LitEtxension migration service can help save time, reduce errors, and ensure a smoother transition to Shopify.

Popular Questions About Webflow to Shopify Migration

Can I transfer Webflow to Shopify?
Yes, you can transfer your Webflow site to Shopify either manually or by using LitExtension migration service. A migration service streamlines the process by managing data transfer, maintaining SEO, and ensuring smooth functionality across platforms.
Can I migrate options and attributes from Webflow to Shopify?
Shopify doesn’t support product options and attributes directly, so they can’t be migrated from Webflow as-is. Instead, LitExtension converts your product options into variants on Shopify and imports attributes into meta fields for display. Note that due to Shopify’s limits, each product can have a maximum of 99 variants and 3 attributes.
Is it possible to move all of the Webflow blogs and posts in bulk to my new Shopify store as blogs?
Not fully possible. A bulk migration will only transfer text and formatting. However, you’ll still need to manually handle other elements such as design customization, image URLs, internal links, and 301 redirects to achieve the best results.
Can I migrate categories and subcategories of products from Webflow to Shopify?
Yes, you can possibly migrate categories and subcategories of products from Webflow 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.

LitExtension provides a seamless migration experience with 24/7 support. We offer a 60-day free update policy covering Re-Migrations, Recent Migrations, and Smart Updates.

Your Success, Our Motivation
Who We Truly Are? Let Our Customer Define!
LiteExtension did the migration of my WebFlow site. I really can recommend them. Their knowledge about databases is in one word superb! I also was really surprised about the quality of their communication. Their mails were very structured and in perfect English. The fee they ask for custom field migrations is very decent. I especially want to make compliments about the developer Samuel who personally helped me. I wish him the very best for the future!
I have used LitExtension twice for client web migrations. I thought this migration would be a simple one, but we ran into a few glitches and the LitExtension team swooped right in to help get everything set up correctly and answered all my questions. Very reliable, dependable and works with you to make sure everything is set up correctly
We were moving our website from 1 shopping cart to another, Both shopping carts were not BIG NAME, so there was a lot of tweaking back and forth. As a more “Arty” than “Techy” web designer LitExtension paid attention to my needs and lack of knowledge. Truly Fantastic Service.
I must say that I am extremely satisfied: the work was carried out very fast and the technical assistance resolved all the problems that arose along the way in a clear and polite manner. I really recommend everyone to rely on them: one of the best experiences in 15 years of work in the field of web development.
