The company changed. The store has to follow.

Shopify Payments, taxes and billing anchor a store to a legal entity and country — and that anchor mostly can't be re-pointed in place. Incorporating properly after starting as a sole trader, relocating the business, or restructuring for investment all end at the same door: a new store under the new entity, with everything migrated across.

Sound familiar?

• New legal entity (or new country) that payments must be settled to
• Store country locked to where it was first created
• Investors or accountants requiring clean separation from the old entity
• Trading must continue through the transition

How a migration solves it

The new store is configured for the new entity from day one — country, currency, tax registrations, payment provider. Then everything moves: catalog, customers with consents, order history for continuity, content, redirects, markets and theme. The old store trades until cutover day, so revenue never gaps across the restructure.

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 new legal entity?

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 new legal entity 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.
