Move to Shopify without closing for a day.
Products, customers, orders and every old link, moved and redirected, with the shop open the whole time.

Journey Lab moves businesses onto Shopify from any platform, including WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, custom builds and older point-of-sale systems, keeping products, customers, orders and search rankings.
Why moves go wrong.
- Old links break, and years of search rankings disappear overnight.
- Products arrive without their variants, photos or stock.
- Customers lose their accounts and order history.
- The shop closes for a day it can’t afford.
What moves with you.
- 01
Products and variants
Every product, option, photo, price and stock level, checked against the old store.
- 02
Customers and orders
Accounts and order history, so returning customers find everything where they left it.
- 03
Every link, redirected
Each old address mapped to its new page, so search engines and bookmarks still land.
- 04
The counter, too
Point of sale moved onto Shopify POS, with stock shared between the shop and the website.
How a move works.
- 1
Inventory
Every page, product, customer and link on the old platform, listed.
- 2
Map
Old to new, one by one, with a redirect for every address.
- 3
Build and test
The new store on Shopify, tested with your real catalog.
- 4
Launch in boarding groups
Your team first, then a few customers, then everyone.
- 5
Watch
Redirects, rankings and sales checked after launch.
The proof.
Questions.
Will we lose our Google rankings?
Not if the move is planned properly. Every old address gets a permanent redirect to its new page before launch, and we watch rankings after it.
Which platforms can you move us from?
Any of them: WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, custom builds and older point-of-sale systems. Your Flight Plan names exactly what moves.
We run WooCommerce or Magento. Should we move after the PHP security issue?
Patch first: make sure your host is running a fixed PHP version today. Then it is worth planning a move to a hosted platform like Shopify, where there is no server for you to patch. See our page on moving off PHP.
Do we have to close the shop?
No. We move the counter onto Shopify point of sale while the shop stays open, then the website follows.
How long does a move take?
It depends on the size of the catalog. Your Flight Plan sets the timeline, with a milestone at every stop.
