Migrate to Shopify
We move your Ecwid store to Shopify with your products, variants, customers and order history, and connect every old product and category URL to its new address. You go from a shop embedded in another website to a full Shopify store managed from one admin.
5.0 client ratingEcwid lets you export product and customer lists as CSV from the admin, and we use the Ecwid API for order history and detailed fields. Data is mapped row by row to Shopify's product, customer and order model.
Ecwid often runs embedded as a plugin in WordPress, Wix or another site. That means the shop and the site content are managed in two different places. On Shopify, products, pages, blog and theme come together in one admin, and your store runs on its own domain, with its own theme and its own search signals.
With Ecwid's clean URLs, product URLs usually end with the product name, -p and the product ID, and category URLs with -c and the category ID. Each one is 301 redirected to its Shopify equivalent; the real list is built by crawling your site during the audit.
In older Ecwid setups, product URLs may look like shop.html#!/p/123. Because everything after the # isn't sent to the server, these URLs can't be handled with a standard 301. In that case we first check which URLs Google has indexed, then look at options such as leaving a small redirect script on the old page.
We only compare the points that affect the decision to move.

It depends on the number of products, the variant structure, order history and the integrations to set up. After the audit we give you a written schedule.
No. Your Shopify store is built and tested separately. Your Ecwid store keeps selling until the domain is switched over.
Rankings are protected when every old product and category URL is 301 redirected to its new address. In the weeks after launch we track indexing in Search Console.
No. For security reasons, no platform exports passwords. Customer records move, and customers receive an activation email to set a new password.
Usually we move the site content to Shopify too and bring everything into one store. You can also keep WordPress as a blog and move only the store to Shopify; we compare both options in the audit.
Yes. Past orders are imported linked to customer records, so your customers can see their old orders in their accounts.
We map your data, URLs and integrations and give you a written plan.
