Migration guide · Shopify

Moving from IdeaSoft to Shopify

We also work with stores that are open on IdeaSoft. If you move to Shopify, the theme is not copied one-to-one; brand language stays, the storefront is built on Shopify.

Products, customers, and core content are transferred. IdeaSoft themes and Shopify themes are different systems — that is a migration fact, not a slight. Sellers who stay keep marketplace and operations support.

Staying is also a path

Staying on IdeaSoft is also a path

We walk with stores that keep selling from the IdeaSoft admin on catalog, ads, and marketplaces. No pressure to move.

When do we talk about Shopify?

The theme is rebuilt

Copying the old theme one-to-one is rarely the right job. We build a faster storefront in the same brand language on Shopify.

Content and catalog

Products, customers, and core pages are transferred. Blog or custom modules are listed in discovery.

Redirects

Old IdeaSoft addresses stay with 301s. The plan is written first so sales and search are not cut.

What moves?

01

Discovery

IdeaSoft catalog and theme needs are read. Stay or move becomes clear.

02

Catalog

Products, variants, and images are seated on Shopify.

03

Content

Core pages and customer records are transferred.

04

Theme

A new storefront is built on Shopify in the brand language.

05

301s

Old addresses are bound; payments are tried in staging.

06

Go-live

The window is short; training is part of the move.

A move is not required

We read the store first. If Shopify fits, we write the plan.

If you sell on ikas, Ticimax, T-Soft, or another admin, we also run operations and marketplaces. If you want to move, URLs and the sales rhythm stay.

Frequently asked questions

Does my IdeaSoft theme come over one-to-one?

Rarely. The two systems differ. Brand language stays; the storefront is built on Shopify. That is stating the work, not talking IdeaSoft down.

If I stay on IdeaSoft, is there support?

Yes. Marketplaces and operations also run in the IdeaSoft admin.

Do products move?

Yes. Catalog and customers are transferred; custom fields are written in discovery.

Do sales stop during the move?

The aim is that they do not. Work runs in staging; go-live stays short.
