Intro

When migrating to ShopWired from Shopify you can use ShopWired's switching to us system to automatically import your product, product reviews and customer data.

Other data on your Shopify account will need to be migrated manually by following the help guides below.


Product data

The switching to us feature on ShopWired will allow you to migrate all the information about your products from your Shopify account to ShopWired in just a few minutes.

All data about your products, including the product images, will be migrated across automatically.

Read the help guide for step-by-step instructions.

Customer data

You can also use the switching to us feature to migrate your customer records from Shopify to ShopWired.

All data about your customers can be migrated (name, email, phone, address) automatically. Unfortunately it is not possible to migrate passwords, so customer passwords will need to be reset. More details on how to achieve a smooth transition for your customers can be found on the help guide about customer migration.

Read the help guide for step-by-step instructions.

Category/collection data

Unfortunately Shopify does not provide an export for it's collections feature. The collection(s) that products are assigned to is also not included in the Shopify product export.

Shopify does however include the product Type in the product export and we use this data to create ShopWired categories for your products. You will need to add data to each category ShopWired creates.
