We’re here to hold your hand on your journey migrating to Shopify

Migrating to Shopify can be a significant undertaking, especially if you're transitioning from a platform like Magento. At playceholdr, we are committed to guiding you through every step of this journey, ensuring a smooth and efficient migration process.

We don’t just migrate content; we conduct a thorough analysis of your existing website. This includes reviewing features and functionalities to ensure that all necessary capabilities are transferred over.

Before we start, we create a detailed solution document. This document outlines all existing features, gathers requirements, and defines the scope of work for your Shopify project. This way, you will know exactly what we will deliver, ensuring complete alignment and no surprises or hidden costs, as we do all the heavy lifting at the beginning of the project.

As part of the migration process, we assess all the data in your current platform to ensure nothing is left behind. This includes the essentials like product listings, complete with descriptions, images, and pricing, as well as customer information to maintain your relationships. We also migrate order history, preserving past transactions for customer reference and business continuity. Beyond the basics, we take care of the smaller details too, such as coupon codes, reviews, and store credit, ensuring your new Shopify store is fully equipped with everything you need.

When migrating to Shopify, it's important to consider how your existing ERP systems—such as NetSuite, Cin7, odoo, or Unleashed—will connect with your new store. We evaluate your current setup and conduct investigations or proof of concepts (POCs) to map out the data points that need to sync between systems. This includes understanding how specific workflows operate, such as inventory updates, order processing, and customer data management. In many cases, integration with Shopify is straightforward due to pre-built connectors available for most ERP systems. However, if a direct integration isn’t available, we also develop bespoke solutions to ensure connectivity between your ERP and Shopify.

We build custom Shopify stores that match your brand identity while providing all the essential features your business needs. Our Shopify solutions focus on functionality, user experience, and powerful built-in tools like flexible product management, advanced analytics, and a mobile-friendly design to help you grow your online store and drive sales.

For UAT, handover, and training, we make a concerted effort to ensure our clients fully understand Shopify—both its strengths and limitations. We provide in-depth training on all custom features, equipping teams with the knowledge they need to manage their store effectively. Whether working with in-house staff or third-party partners, we collaborate to ensure everything is properly configured and ready for a successful go-live.
