Shopify offers customizable themes, enabling you to achieve a similar appearance and user experience.

This is the second time we have used Litextension services to migrate from Zencart to Shopify. This migration was for an older store with considerably more customers and order history. We used the All-in-one migration which is well worth the small extra cost as it really does take ALL the hassle of the migration away – especially if you are not technically minded like us

Jake Gross

Mak from LitExtension was extremely helpful and responsive from the moment I reached out via their LiveChat. From start to finished there was clear and constant communication to help me with my data migration to Shopify from Zencart. The sync went smoothly and our clients are now live with their new Shopify site. Without this migration service from LiteExtension this site build would have taken triple the amount of time.

My company recently used LitExtension to migrate our old, outdated Zencart site to Shopify. Derek was very helpful in making it an easy process. Their staff really cares about making sure you’re satisfied with the entire process. Would definitely use again and highly recommend their service.
