3 Simple Steps to Migrate to Shopify with LitExtension
You want to import to Shopify and start enjoying the power of that fantastic platform but are afraid of the complex Shopify data migration process? Worry not, LitExtension makes the Shopify migration seamless and stress-free with only six simple steps:
Backup database of the Source store
Set up a new Shopify store
Set up Source and Target Cart
Select entities to migrate
Perform full migration to Shopify
Follow a go-live checklist for Shopify stores after data migration
Now, let’s head straight to 3 critical steps of the Shopify migration with LitExtension automated shopping cart migration solution below!
Step 1. Set up Source and Target Cart
Once you have logged in, click “Create new migration”. Then, you will see a page where you can enter the information of your Source and Target Cart.
First of all, choose your Source Cart from the drop-down menu. Then enter your store URL.
If your Source Cart is open-sourced like WooCommerce, please follow the instructions to download the “le_connector” file. This connector has only one function, which is to create a bridge between your Source Cart database with the LitExtension App. Extract the zip file and upload the Connector folder to Source Cart root folder on your server. Once you are done, a notification will appear on your screen “Connection was successfully installed“.
If your Source Cart is a hosted one, like Wix or BigCommerce, please follow the instructions on the screen to get the right information.
Moving on to Target Cart setup, after you have chosen Shopify as your Target Cart from the menu, enter your store URL and the API password to the blank spaces.
In case you don’t know how to get an API password from your Shopify store, you can follow the instructions of this video.
Now you are ready to click “Next” and proceed to the next stage of the migration process.
Step 2. Configure Shopify Migration
This is where you choose the entities that you want to migrate to Shopify. LitExtension supports migrating products, customers, pages, blog posts, and coupons in this case. You can choose to migrate only a few or click “Select all” to migrate all of them.
To help you extend your migration possibilities, LitExtension also offers some additional options such as Clear current data on Target Store before Migration or Create the 301 redirects on your Target Store after migration. The former option allows you to delete all the existing data that you have chosen above on your Target Store (if you have any). The data duplication risk can therefore be avoided. 301 redirect is a procedure of pointing URLs from one site to another. In other words, when your customers click on the links of your old Source Cart website, they will be redirected immediately to the corresponding page on your new Shopify store.
Don’t forget to map your order status and language so that they will be displayed correspondingly on the Shopify site.
Step 3. Perform Shopify Migration
Now you are ready to run the migration. We highly recommend you run the FREE DEMO migration first to see how the migration process will be carried out by LitExtension. After that, you will receive $5 and later you can use it as a discount when running Full Migration.
Once the migration starts, it will run seamlessly on the server. Therefore, there’s no need to keep your PC on while the data is being transferred. It is completely safe to turn it off! Take a break, have a cup of coffee and your email will receive a notification when the process is completed.
You may have a number of extensions that you installed on your Source Cart to support your business and you don’t want to lose these extended functionalities. In order to achieve that, you need to find and install the Shopify apps which have similar purposes as those in your Source Cart store. After that, LitExtension will help you migrate data from the Source Cart extensions/apps/plugins into the corresponding in Shopify.
During the whole migration process, LitExtension still keeps your old Source Cart store running normally. Accordingly, you will still receive new orders and customers as usual while being busy decorating your new home. This is when our recent data migration, smart update and remigration services come in handy.
Recent data migration allows you to transfer all the newly appearing entities to your new store.
Smart update updates changes that you have made to data in old store along with all the newly appearing entities.
Remigration service enables you to migrate your data all over again.
All these three options are FREE under the condition that you have performed full migration with LitExtension within 3 months before and the total additional entities is less than 10% the total number of entities in the first migration.

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 any shopping cart to Shopify.
Shopify doesn’t allow creating product options and attributes. So, you cannot migrate options and attributes 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 to Shopify with no more than 99 variants and 3 attributes.
Yes, you can possibly migrate categories and subcategories of products 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. [Read More]

“Everything was perfect. The team at LitExtension was so responsive to my needs and my concerns and even when I was worrying a little bit too much, they put me at ease”
We recently had the privilege of working with Andy from LitExtension on our crucial migration project from Presta to Shopify. From the outset, Andy's deep expertise and dedication were evident. Not only was he consistently available to address our queries, but his proactive approach meant he often anticipated issues and provided solutions before they could escalate. His attention to detail, combined with his unparalleled problem-solving skills, ensured that our migration process was both seamless and efficient. It's rare to find such a combination of technical acumen and exceptional customer service. We are more than satisfied with the results, and it's largely thanks to Andy's exceptional work. We would highly recommend him and the LitExtension team to anyone considering a similar migration.
Great customer support. Support was available even before trial and while trying to select the best way to migrate our Prestashop to Shopify. Once migrated, the team was still able to help us update the migrated data.
The quality of the service and support is commandable!
They migrated all our data customer, orders, and products from BigCommerce to Shopify. Well done!
Older Magento versions 1.x to 2.3.7-p4 or even 2.4.x to 2.4.6 and higher usually cause headaches. That was our experience too. But thanks to LitExtension, it's not a problem at all. At the beginning, we were really expecting issues, but the whole process went so smoothly, thanks to the truly experienced team at LitExtension, always friendly and problem-free, that from now on, we will only rely on their help. Thank you for your patience and absolute speed in answering all our questions and the valuable tips.
This was the best service. From the starting talk in the page chat a costumer service agent (Peter Duong) and the best attention of the technician (Jay Tran) it was a really easy experience this people are really expert what what the promote and do. I love the guarantee and they walk you through the whole process and here all my suggestion and request. Thanks I'm really happy. I would recommend it to all my friends. Shopify should of recommend it to me first because they were recommending another’s company first but that didn't work. So this service in way better and fast. I work to transfer all inventory from square to Shopify and finish a website design.
After the last review, our migration project still goes on. Dean still helped us on all the cases and provided timely responses even though their timezone is 7 hours ahead of us (means he need to cover us outside his office hours). Still, Dean is patient and polite to do any response.
Very glad that we finally manage the migration project launched and I would like to update my rating from 4 stars to 5. A 5 stars does not mean that they are perfect as I still can see rooms of improvement. The 5 stars certainly awarded to Dean's help.
The migration took place quickly and effectively. They were very helpful and always helped in all doubts and questions. Excellent pre- and post-production follow-up.
