The rebuild looks perfect. Now put the real store inside it.

Agencies build in development stores for good reasons — but launch day arrives and the beautiful new build contains twelve placeholder products. Moving the real catalog, metafield-driven content, customers and order history into it is the part nobody scoped. CSV round-trips lose metafields and break references; that's exactly the gap an API-level migration closes.

Sound familiar?

• New theme and apps built against sample data in a dev store
• Production keeps changing while the rebuild is reviewed
• Metafields and metaobjects drive the new templates — CSVs can’t carry them
• A long content freeze is commercially unacceptable

How a migration solves it

Every entity moves with references intact: metafields (including file and metaobject references, re-pointed to the new store's objects), metaobjects, products, collections, customers, orders, blogs, redirects. Because imports are idempotent upserts, we re-run the sync as often as needed while you review — the content freeze shrinks from weeks to the final hour.

How the migration runs

1. Book & pay — fixed price, secure Stripe checkout. The order form unlocks immediately after payment.
2. Submit your stores — domains and details in the order form; then provide revocable API tokens in your customer area (we never ask for your Shopify password).
3. We migrate everything — your live store keeps selling throughout; it is only ever read from.
4. Verified twice — the entire migration re-runs and must change nothing; you get the count-matched verification report before any cutover.

Frequently asked

Will my live store go down while migrating after dev store to production?

No. The migration only reads from your current store — it keeps selling the entire time. Everything is written to the new store, and traffic moves only when you approve the verification report.

What data moves in a dev store to production migration?

Everything: products with variants, SKUs and images, customers with addresses and marketing consents, full order history with tracking numbers, collections, blogs, pages, menus, 301 redirects, metafields, discounts, gift cards, reviews, markets, translations and your live theme.

How long does a Shopify to Shopify migration take?

Most stores complete in 2–5 business days including the second-pass verification, depending on your package. Very large stores are scheduled after we see your store's counts — before anything runs.

How much does it cost?

Fixed one-time packages from $247 (Standard DIY) to $797 (Enterprise) — no per-record metering. The migration order form unlocks immediately after checkout.
