Ecommerce Data Migration & SEO Preservation

Data is the part of a replatform you cannot redo after launch. Symmetry Commerce runs verified, capped-and-counted data migrations into Shopify — products, customers, historical orders, reviews, blogs, discount codes, gift cards, store credit and B2B records — with SEO preservation engineered in. Standalone data migrations start at $7,500.

What’s included

• Data discovery and a migration data map documenting every field, source and transformation
• Custom migration scripts plus Matrixify-powered imports, sized to your volumes — we have moved 300,000 customers and 200,000 orders in a single project
• Store credit, gift card and loyalty balance migration so customers keep what they have earned
• B2B company and price-list migration for wholesale catalogs
• 301 redirects for all originally published pages, 404 scans, sitemap generation and Search Console submission
• Delta migration at cutover, notification suppression during import, and client-verified acceptance of every record class

How we work

Every record class gets an explicit cap and acceptance criterion in the SOW (e.g. “~20,000 customers entered into Shopify and client-verified”). Imports run first in staging, you verify, then we execute the delta migration at go-live so nothing sold in the final weeks is lost.

Proven results

Recent volumes: 10,000 SKUs / 300,000 customers / 200,000 orders from Magento for an optics manufacturer; 90,000 customers, 120,000 orders and 30,000 store-credit accounts for an apparel brand; three storefronts of catalog and redirect mapping consolidated for an outdoor-gear company.

Frequently asked questions

Can historical orders really move to Shopify?

Yes — imported as historical orders with dates, line items and totals intact, so lifetime-value and support lookups keep working.

How do you protect SEO during migration?

301 redirects for every published URL, preserved metadata, XML sitemap regeneration and Search Console submission, plus post-launch 404 monitoring.

What about data added while we build?

A delta migration at cutover picks up every order, customer and product change made after the initial import.
