Migrating clients to Shopify from another platform

There are a few different guides and tools available to help you migrate a client's store from another ecommerce website or platform to Shopify. Migrating a store can be complicated, so it's important to take care that your client's various records for customers, products, and orders are all imported correctly.

As a Shopify Partner, the best way to start migrating a client’s store is by creating a client transfer store in your Dev Dashboard. Then you can choose the migration guide that applies to your client’s current store, and follow it to import their data into the store. When you’re done, you can transfer ownership of the store to your client.
