A migration is more than copying products. Use this checklist to keep it calm.
Before you move
- Export products, customers and orders from the old platform.
- List every URL that earns traffic or links.
- Decide which apps you still need.
During the move
- Import products and check variants, images and prices.
- Create redirects from old URLs to new ones.
- Rebuild navigation, policies and key pages.
Before launch
- Place test orders with each payment method.
- Check taxes, shipping rates and emails.
- Confirm analytics and tracking fire once.
After launch
Watch search console for crawl errors and fix missed redirects first. Rankings can move for a few weeks, so compare trends rather than single days.
