Migrating from Shopify to Shoplazza: A Step-by-Step Guide to a Seamless Transition
As ecommerce brands mature and expand across borders, platform needs change. What once worked well for launching a store may become a bottleneck for global scaling, integration flexibility, or total cost of ownership. If you're currently on Shopify and looking for a more international, scalable, and cost-effective solution, Shoplazza offers a powerful alternative—and at Power Commerce, we specialize in making the migration smooth and stress-free.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the strategic reasons to migrate from Shopify to Shoplazza, break down each step of the process, and share how we help ecommerce businesses transition without missing a beat.
Why Ecommerce Brands Are Moving from Shopify to Shoplazza
While Shopify remains a strong platform for many merchants, some brands find its limitations restricting growth, especially as they scale internationally or seek more platform control. Shoplazza has emerged as a global-first ecommerce platform that addresses these concerns directly.
Key Reasons to Switch:
-
Lower Transaction Fees and Better Cost Control
 Shoplazza offers more competitive fee structures and does not require premium pricing tiers for access to essential features. -
Built-In Localization Tools
 Unlike Shopify, Shoplazza provides native multi-language and multi-currency support without relying on third-party apps. -
International SEO Capabilities
 Shoplazza’s routing and domain structure support global search engine visibility and better local market ranking. -
Flexible Checkout and Payment Gateway Options
 Shoplazza offers region-specific gateway integrations and more freedom to customize the checkout process. -
Ownership Over Data and Integrations
Brands gain greater control over integrations and customer data, with fewer limitations on customization.
Step 1: Planning Your Migration
A successful migration begins with the right strategy. At Power Commerce, we work closely with your team to define your goals, mitigate risks, and align every step with your growth roadmap.
What We Do First:
-
Audit your existing Shopify setup (products, customers, pages, integrations)
-
Identify dependencies and third-party app usage
-
Create a migration plan with timeline, responsibilities, and milestones
-
Plan domain redirection and SEO preservation strategy
-
Define post-migration testing and launch support
Step 2: Data Migration – What and How We Move
Shoplazza supports structured data imports from Shopify. Here’s what we typically migrate:
 Product Data
-
Titles, descriptions, images
-
Variants, SKUs, pricing, inventory
-
Collections and tags
-
SEO metadata (URLs, meta titles/descriptions)
 Customer Data
-
Customer profiles
-
Order history
-
Segments and tags (if needed)
 Store Content
-
Pages (About, FAQs, Policies)
-
Blog posts and categories
-
Menus and navigational structure
We use automated tools and manual checks to ensure data integrity and formatting align with Shoplazza’s schema.
Step 3: Theme Selection and Design Translation
Shoplazza offers a library of modern, mobile-optimized themes. You can either:
-
Choose a new theme and adapt your branding
-
Recreate your Shopify theme structure and layout in Shoplazza
-
Use the migration as an opportunity to refresh your UX and conversion flow
At Power Commerce, we don’t just “copy” your design—we enhance and adapt it for faster load times, global UX preferences, and better performance metrics.
Step 4: Rebuilding Key Integrations
Your Shopify store likely connects to tools like:
-
Email marketing platforms (Klaviyo, Mailchimp)
-
Analytics and ad tracking (GA4, Meta Pixel)
-
CRM or ERP software
-
Shipping providers and fulfillment tools
Shoplazza offers native integrations or API-based solutions for all of these. Our team ensures:
-
Pixel tracking is implemented correctly
-
Customer data flows between Shoplazza and your CRM
-
Shipping rules are synced with real-time rates
-
Automation tools (abandoned cart, order follow-up) are fully restored
Step 5: SEO, Domain, and Redirect Setup
One of the biggest risks in any migration is losing search engine visibility. We take this step seriously and apply best practices to maintain your rankings.
Actions We Take:
-
Match URL structure where possible
-
Set up 301 redirects for all legacy Shopify URLs
-
Update canonical tags, hreflang, and sitemap XML files
-
Resubmit your site to Google Search Console
-
Monitor crawl errors and traffic fluctuations post-launch
This SEO transition is one of Power Commerce’s core strengths—we ensure you don’t lose traffic or rankings during the switch.
Step 6: Final Testing & Launch
Before your Shoplazza store goes live, we conduct a full QA process:
-
Product and checkout functionality
-
Page load speed and mobile responsiveness
-
Language switcher and multi-currency accuracy
-
Pixel and event tracking verification
-
Test orders and payment validation
Once everything is verified, we update your DNS settings and officially launch the new store.
Step 7: Post-Migration Support and Growth Optimization
After going live, the work doesn't stop. We continue to support you by:
-
Monitoring analytics and sales performance
-
Troubleshooting post-migration issues
-
A/B testing checkout flows and landing pages
-
Scaling marketing integrations (email, SMS, retargeting)
-
Preparing for new feature rollouts on Shoplazza
