Migration to Shopify

Moving an online store isn't just about copying data. Migrating without losing a single customer — that's the real challenge.

We've migrated dozens of online stores. We know where the pitfalls are and how to avoid them. We'll transfer your data, customers, and orders without any losses, and your search rankings will stay exactly where they are.

Why businesses switch to Shopify

A platform that grows with you

Shopify handles 10 orders a day just as easily as 10,000. No code rewrites or Black Friday nightmares. You simply scale according to your needs.

Expand without barriers

Sell in Czech, German, or English. In crowns, euros, or dollars. Shopify has everything ready, including tax calculation and shipping for every country.

Connect anything

ERP, PIM, WMS, marketing tools. Shopify has an API and ready-made connectors for thousands of apps. All your systems will communicate perfectly with each other.

Pay only for what you use

No full-time developers needed. Shopify takes care of servers, security, and updates. You pay a predictable monthly fee and invest your time in growing your business.

An online store that performs and sells

Fast loading, intuitive checkout, mobile optimization. Shopify tests and improves UX for you. Then you simply enjoy the new orders rolling in.

Security you don't have to worry about

PCI compliance, SSL certificates, DDoS protection. Shopify takes care of everything. You can sleep soundly even during the biggest traffic spikes.

Typical collaboration process

Questions? We have answers

Will I lose SEO rankings and traffic after migration?

Not in the medium to long term, though a slight short-term dip is possible. We carry out a detailed SEO audit, set up 301 redirects for URL changes, and optimise the new store — after a brief drop, we often see ranking improvements thanks to Shopify's speed and mobile-friendliness.

How do you ensure no data is lost during the transfer?

We use secure tools for exporting and importing products, customers, orders, and historical data. We start with a test transfer to verify everything — with no risk to your current store.

Will the store be down during migration?

We minimise downtime to an hour or less. We migrate during off-peak hours, with live testing on a staging version — your business keeps running until everything is perfect.

How much will it cost and are there hidden fees?

Costs depend on the scope, but our transparent approach means you always know the price upfront. You'll receive an indicative proposal after the analysis — and you'll often save in the long run thanks to Shopify's lower TCO.

How will you connect Shopify to my existing systems like ERP or PIM?

We have extensive experience with integrations using Shopify's API-first architecture. We use proven apps or build custom solutions — quickly and cost-effectively, without unnecessary complexity.

What about our specific features that have no equivalent in Shopify?

We analyse them upfront and propose alternatives from the App Store or build custom solutions. Shopify's flexibility (12,000+ apps) often replaces legacy features better and at lower cost.

Is Shopify secure and reliable enough for my business?

Yes — with enterprise-level security, 99.99% uptime, and DDoS/hack protection. Automatic updates and a global CDN ensure stability — no worrying about downtime like with legacy platforms.

How long does the whole migration take?

From 2–4 months for typically sized projects, but thanks to our agile approach we can launch a foundation very quickly. We plan phases to minimise the impact on your business.

How will my store's design and UX change?

It doesn't have to change at all — though as part of the migration we recommend optimising the design based on your data and best practices. With Shopify templates and AI optimisation tools, this doesn't need to be a hundreds-of-hours process. The result? Better conversions and a stronger mobile experience without complex redesigns.

What if the migration doesn't go according to plan?

Sometimes individual parts don't go exactly to plan — but that's why we have an experienced team that can handle any obstacle. And even after launch, we have intensive support phases to quickly and thoroughly resolve any scenarios not covered during implementation. With our track record in complex migrations, we minimise risks — and we offer a satisfaction guarantee.

    With Sounds Good we continued a long-standing partnership with their parent company Shopsys, and we remain satisfied with the collaboration to this day. Long story short: Sounds Good sounds good to me!

    We switched to Sounds Good from a competitor. What attracted me most was the depth and breadth of their Shopify platform knowledge — including direct contacts at the source and insider information. At Econea.cz we've always pushed the boundaries of what Shopify can do, and we were looking for a partner who is truly on the technological edge. We do a lot of development in-house, but when we run out of steam or hit a wall, we have a great partner to turn to.

    Co-founder and CEO

  • Quote icon

    For our Shopify-based projects, we needed an experienced partner to help us design and deliver more complex, non-standard requirements. These are B2B projects involving ERP SAP integration and accommodating the expectations of wholesale partners accustomed to the previous platform. I particularly value the reliability of project management and the technical expertise of the Sounds Good team.

    Digitalisation and Expansion Manager

    When migrating our website from a previous platform, we needed a strong and reliable partner to help us discover the world of Shopify — and one who could influence Shopify itself. This allowed us to be among the first in the Czech Republic to access Shopify Payments and other new capabilities, and to provide feedback directly to the Shopify platform. Solutions from Sounds Good have always been tailored and thoroughly vetted.

    We chose SoundsGood for their deep knowledge of the platform, which they demonstrated very quickly. The implementation wasn't without unexpected twists, but SoundsGood always responded quickly, adjusted the scope, and kept moving forward. That's exactly the approach we were looking for. Now we work with them every day on ongoing improvements.

    We have a complex product range and a demanding operation — manufacturing, warehousing, revisions, and a testing room — so we considered a custom-built solution for a long time. In the end, Shopify's cost-effectiveness, paired with only minor adjustments to our processes, simply won out.

    We were looking for a solution that could handle the broad range of our requirements — we run dozens of local brand websites across the Czech Republic and the EU, and at the same time we want to sell robustly in both B2C and B2B without a large development team. We also needed a solution for connecting to a wide range of marketplace and drop-ship partners. That's why Shopify. We benefit from the platform's rapid development and its wide range of third-party apps. After roughly 4 years, we're happy with that choice.

    We've been on Shopify for over 3 years and we definitely wouldn't switch. The level of technology and the speed of adopting new trends is unmatched. We run both B2B and B2C stores, and every limitation we've encountered has always had a solution. In my opinion, Shopify has no ceiling when it comes to international expansion or company size. I see it as the most expensive and simultaneously the best platform out there. And we have no problem paying for quality.
