Frequently asked questions

How long does a Shopware to Shopify migration take?
Average lead time is 4–8 weeks, depending on scope and customisation. Thanks to our automation we speed up data export and validation.
Will my SEO rankings be preserved?
Yes — with a 301 redirect strategy, metadata migration and monitoring we ensure your SEO value is preserved and often even improves due to faster load times.
Can customer accounts, passwords and orders be migrated?
Yes. Customer data and order history are fully migrated. Passwords can be partially migrated depending on hashing, or we set up a secure reset flow in Shopify.
