What your store runs on today
We list every app, theme change and workaround on your store. Each one is rebuilt, connected or dropped.
Moving your store off Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento onto code you own
Outgrown Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento? We rebuild your store from scratch and move your products, customers, past orders and web addresses across. Nothing stops selling while we do it.
What does moving your store involve?
We build you a new store, written for how you sell, then move everything across: products, customer accounts, past orders and web addresses. Every old address points to its new page, so Google keeps finding you. Your old store keeps selling until the new one has passed its test orders. Then we switch over.
Should you move your store, or stay put?
- Built for
- Shops on Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento that now run on a pile of add-on apps and workarounds. Owners who have outgrown what the platform lets them do.
- Replaces
- Your store platform and its monthly app fees. Years of theme patches. The spreadsheets you download to get orders into Xero, MYOB or your warehouse.
- Not for
- A store its platform still suits, or one that just needs a fresh look. That is a new theme, not a move, and we will say so.
What is included when we move your store?
Products, customers and orders moved
Every product, customer and past order moves across. If passwords cannot follow, customers set a new one at first login.
Old web addresses keep working
Every old product and category address points to its new page. Google results and links in old emails still work.
Payments and shipping stay the same
Same card payments, same shipping charges. Checkout and delivery cost work exactly as they do now.
Xero, MYOB, warehouse and email reconnected
The new store talks straight to Xero, MYOB, your warehouse and your email tool. No add-on apps in between.
Test orders on a private copy
Your old store keeps selling. Staff place, pay, pack and refund test orders on the new one until they pass.
The switch-over
The last orders are copied and your web address points to the new store. Then you cancel the old subscription.

How is the move built and priced?
Each stage ends with something you can log in to and check.

We watch how an order moves through your store today, which apps it leans on, and what your platform will let us take out.
Plan and price
The written plan lists what moves, where old addresses will point, and which connections we rebuild. You agree it and the price before we build.
Build
Products and customers first, then checkout and shipping, then connections. After each stage you log in and see it running on your real orders.
Testing
You compare the counts, old store against new, click through old addresses, and pack and refund test orders yourself. The switch waits for your go-ahead.
Launch
The new store goes live on your web address. You get a record of everything moved, and the login your staff already know.
Questions before you call
Will we lose our search rankings when the store moves?
Nobody can promise a ranking, and we do not. What we do is point every old product, category and content address to its new page, tested before the switch, so nothing that ranks today lands on a dead page.
Does the old store keep selling while the new one is built?
Yes, customers keep buying there as usual while the new one is built. Orders placed right up to the switch come across when we copy the last orders.
Can our customers still log in after the move?
Yes, with the same email address and the same order history. Some platforms will not hand over stored passwords, so on those moves a returning customer sets a new one the first time they sign in.
How much does it cost to move our store?
One fixed quote, set before any code is written, based on how much there is to move and reconnect. You pay in five stages; stop at any stage and keep what has been built, with your old store still selling.
Do we own the new store?
Yes. There is no store platform underneath it and no app subscription, so it can be changed, moved to another host or handed to another developer whenever you like.
