# We move your store to Shopify without losing a thing.

**Move to Shopify without losing a product, a customer or a Google ranking.**

The scary part of switching platforms isn’t the new store. It’s the old links that stop working, the customer list that arrives half empty and the week of lost sales while everything settles. We plan the move so none of that happens.

- Products, variants and images
- Customers and order history
- Old URLs redirected
- No downtime on launch day

## How we move it

1. **Inventory and map your data** — We list every product, variant, customer, order, page and blog post on the old platform and map each field to its place in Shopify before anything moves.
2. **Export, clean and import** — We move the data with Shopify’s import tools, Matrixify or the API, fixing broken variants, duplicate customers and missing images on the way.
3. **Rebuild the store and redirect old links** — We set up the theme, collections and settings, then create a 301 redirect for every old URL so customers and Google land on the right new page.
4. **Test orders, then switch the domain** — We place test orders, check totals, emails and stock, then point your domain to Shopify at a quiet hour and watch for errors after the switch.

## What the result looks like

- **Everything arrives** Products, variants, customers and order history are in Shopify and checked against the old store, so nothing goes missing in the move.
- **Old links still work** Every old product and page URL redirects to its new home, so bookmarks, ads and Google results keep sending people to the right place.
- **Customers can log in and reorder** Customer accounts and past orders come across, so regulars can find what they bought last time.
- **A switch-over with no lost days** The old store keeps selling until the new one is tested, and the domain moves in one planned step.

## How do you migrate a store to Shopify in Oman?

A Shopify migration moves your products, images, customers and order history from your current platform into Shopify, then redirects every old web address to its new home so search rankings and saved links keep working. EliteTeQ plans and runs the move for stores in Oman, and switches over only when everything has been checked.

- Full product and customer data moved
- Past orders kept for reports and returns
- Every old URL redirected to its new page
- Switch-over planned for a quiet hour

## What usually goes wrong when stores switch

- **Google forgets you overnight** Old product links return “page not found” and the rankings you built over years start to slide. Proper redirects tell Google exactly where each page went.
- **Variants come out scrambled** Sizes, colours and bundles exported from another platform rarely line up with Shopify’s structure. We map them by hand where the export gets it wrong.
- **Customers can’t log in** Passwords can’t be copied between platforms. We import every customer and send a clear invitation so regulars aren’t greeted by an error.
- **The store is half-live for days** Moving piece by piece leaves customers seeing two stores. We build the whole store first, test it, then switch the domain in one go.

## How the move is planned

### Every old link has somewhere to go

We list every product, collection, page and blog URL on your old site and point each one at the right Shopify page before switch-over.

- Products and collections mapped one to one
- Blog posts and pages kept or redirected
- Links shared on social media still work

### Data checked before anyone switches

We compare counts and spot-check records between the old store and the new one, so nothing is discovered missing after launch.

- Product and stock counts compared
- Customer emails and addresses checked
- Test orders placed end to end

## What you get

- **Products and images** — Titles, descriptions, variants, prices, stock and images moved across.
- **Customers and orders** — Customer records and order history imported for reports and returns.
- **Redirect map** — Every old URL pointed at its new Shopify page with 301 redirects.
- **Titles and descriptions kept** — Your page titles and meta descriptions carried over, not reset.
- **Planned switch-over** — Domain moved at a quiet hour with the old store kept as a fallback.
- **Watch period after launch** — We monitor errors and missing pages after the move and fix them fast.

## A rushed move vs a planned one

| Without it | With EliteTeQ |
|---|---|
| Old links return “page not found” | Every old URL redirected |
| Variants rebuilt by guesswork | Variants mapped and checked |
| Customers locked out at login | Customers invited to the new store |
| Two half-working stores for days | One switch-over, planned and tested |
| Past orders left behind | Order history kept for reports and returns |

## For stores ready to leave their current platform

- Wix and Squarespace stores

- Shops running on spreadsheets and Instagram
- Stores with years of Google traffic to protect

## Working with you in Oman

We set your store up for Oman: prices in OMR, delivery zones and rates for the places you actually deliver to, and the payment providers Shopify supports in Oman.

Shoppers in Oman use Arabic and English, so the store can run in more than one language, with right-to-left layouts for Arabic.

We work with you over WhatsApp and video calls, and share progress on a preview link you can open on your own phone.

- **Store currency:** OMR (OMR)
- **Customer languages:** Arabic and English
- **How we meet:** WhatsApp, video calls and email
- **Team:** Remote, from our Nairobi team

## One fixed price for the whole move

A fixed price, in writing, before work starts.

- Audit of your current store
- Written migration plan
- Data import and checks
- Full redirect map
- Watch period after switch-over

## Questions clients ask us

**Will I lose my Google rankings?**

Not if the redirects are done properly. We map every old URL to its new page with permanent redirects and keep your titles and descriptions, so search engines can follow the move.

**Which platforms can you move from?**

WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, Magento and most other platforms that can export data, plus stores that run on spreadsheets or marketplace listings.

**Can my customers keep their accounts?**

Their customer records move across, but passwords cannot be copied between platforms. We send a clear invitation so customers set a new password in one step.

**Will my store go down during the move?**

No. The old store keeps selling while we build and test the new one. The switch-over itself happens at a quiet hour and takes minutes, not days.

**What happens to my old store afterwards?**

We keep it available as a fallback until you are confident in the new store, then help you close it and cancel the old hosting.
