Frequently Asked Questions
Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions to help you better understand our services. If you can't find the information you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact us, we are here to help!
Will I lose my SEO ranking by migrating to Shopify?
No, not if the migration is done correctly. This is one of our highest priorities. We perform a complete SEO audit and implement a comprehensive 301 redirect plan. This tells search engines where to find your old pages on your new Shopify store, thus preserving your domain authority and your ranking in search results.
Can you migrate my customers, orders and products?
Yes. Depending on the scope defined, we can migrate your products (including variants and images), collections, pages and blogs, as well as your customers (with password reset) and historical orders.
Will my store be offline during the migration?
We schedule the migration so there's little to no downtime. Your new Shopify store is developed and tested on a private address, while your current store remains 100% operational throughout. The only downtime is a few minutes during the final launch while we redirect your domain to Shopify. We typically schedule this during your store's quietest hours.
What happens to the features of my old store?
During the initial migration phase, we take inventory of your current store's features. We then determine the best way to replicate or enhance them on Shopify, whether through native features, Shopify store apps, or custom development. We ensure that you don't lose any functionality that's critical to your business.
Why should I migrate to Shopify?
Businesses choose Shopify for its reliability, security, and ease of use. You'll spend less time dealing with technical issues and more time growing your business. Shopify offers world-class infrastructure, a vast ecosystem of apps for all sorts of features, and a user-friendly admin interface that gives you greater control. All this, often with a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
How long does a migration take?
The duration generally varies between 4 and 10 weeks, depending on the volume of data, integrations, and design. A detailed timeline is provided to you from the start.
MOVING WITHOUT BREAKING DISHES
Moving an online store is a bit like moving a porcelain house. Every product, customer, and order is precious and deserves to be handled with the utmost care. Many developers present themselves as movers; at Mindweb, we consider ourselves architects and engineers.
We don't just move your data from point A to point B. We check the foundations of your new store, making sure every piece is in its place and everything works exactly as expected. Our success isn't measured by the speed of the transfer, but by how smoothly your new store runs.
Entrust us with your plans: we will give you the keys to a store ready for the future.
Ready for a more powerful platform?
Migrating may seem daunting, but staying on your current platform could cost you more in the long run in maintenance, security breaches, and missed opportunities. Shopify is designed for growth, simplicity, and performance.
