Ecwid to Shopify Migration Services

Ecwid is commerce embedded inside a website. It works until the catalog grows, the SEO limitations start costing rankings, or the app ecosystem no longer covers what the business needs. Shero migrates Ecwid stores to Shopify with products, customers, orders, and URL redirects intact.

Weeks for a standard Ecwid to Shopify migration

Standard Ecwid to Shopify migrations complete in 2 to 6 weeks depending on catalog size, custom content volume, and integration requirements. Stores with large catalogs or Ecwid's embedded-site architecture take longer to audit and redirect correctly. Shero scopes the timeline after reviewing the Ecwid store structure.

Apps in the Shopify ecosystem versus Ecwid's narrower catalog

Ecwid's app marketplace is narrower than Shopify's by a significant margin. Brands that have hit the ceiling on what Ecwid's integrations can do find the full Shopify ecosystem after migration: email marketing, loyalty, subscriptions, reviews, advanced analytics, and thousands of other tools built specifically for Shopify.

98%

Client Retention

98% of Shero's clients stay on retainer after their project closes. Post-migration, most brands need ongoing Shopify development support as they build out the capabilities their previous platform could not support.

Premier Partner

Shero holds Shopify Premier Partner status, one of fewer than 150 agencies globally. Ecwid migrations involving embedded-site SEO mapping, customer data transfer, and full store redesign alongside the migration require Shopify platform depth.

Since partnering with Shero Commerce, our eCommerce revenue has grown by 200%. Their support and solutions have been game changers for our business.

What transfers and what needs attention in an Ecwid migration

Products, categories, customers, and orders transfer via CSV export and import. Ecwid's numeric product ID URLs differ from Shopify's handle-based structure and need a full redirect map before go-live. Customer passwords cannot transfer customers receive a reset email. Order history imports for reference but cannot be refunded through Shopify's native tools.

  • Ecwid product catalog export and Shopify import with category and variant mapping
  • Customer record and order history transfer
  • URL redirect map from Ecwid product ID paths to Shopify handle-based URLs
  • SEO metadata, page titles, and descriptions migrated to Shopify
  • Shopify store design and theme setup for brands moving to a standalone storefront
  • App stack setup: email, reviews, loyalty, and analytics to replace Ecwid integrations

Why brands work with Shero on Ecwid to Shopify migration

The data transfer is straightforward. The redirect map is where self-managed migrations lose rankings. Shero builds it before launch.

01

URL redirects built before go-live to protect search rankings

Ecwid product URLs include numeric IDs that differ from Shopify's handle-based structure. Every product and category page needs a 301 redirect before launch. Shero builds the full map and post-launch.

02

Product catalog audited and cleaned before import

Ecwid CSV exports contain fields that don't map directly to Shopify. Shero audits and reformats the catalog before import so the store launches with the most important pre-migration criteria, clean product data.

03

Customer password reset flow prepared before go-live

Encrypted passwords cannot transfer. Shero prepares the reset email flow and triggers it at go-live so customers can access their accounts immediately.

04

SEO preserved through the Ecwid to Shopify URL transition

If the domain stays the same, the redirect map preserves existing SEO authority. If it changes, the old domain needs to redirect to the new one. Shero handles the mapping based on the brand's domain strategy, as part of the SEO practice Shero runs for every migration.

05

Shopify store designed as a standalone storefront, not an embedded widget

Ecwid embeds inside an existing website. Shopify is a standalone storefront. Most brands need a Shopify theme alongside the data migration. Shero scopes both so they complete together.

06

App stack configured to replace what Ecwid was providing

After migration, Shero configures the Shopify App Stack to cover email, reviews, loyalty, and analytics at a level Ecwid's ecosystem could not match.

With an existing Shopify build that no longer reflected its premium positioning, the Milwaukee specialty coffee roaster, serving both D2C customers and a growing B2B wholesale base, partnered with Shero to deliver a full design and functionality refresh in 8 to 10 weeks ahead of the holiday season. The project included a refined dark-mode aesthetic, native RoasterTools integration, and a B2B wholesale flow integrated into the storefront.

Swag Golf / Strike 2

"We partnered with Shero for the development work on the SWAG site. The dev was highly nuanced, specialized and complex—and the brand demanded a UX that was smooth, straightforward and memorable. The Shero team went above and beyond from the jump. As a partner to us, they were collaborative, organized and professional. As a partner to our client, they consistently set expectations clearly—and usually exceeded them. We were immediately faced with the challenge of getting this site up on a faster timeline than any similar project we’ve done before. Because of Shero’s tight process and expert dev talent, hitting this deadline was a walk in the park. And most importantly they are a group of terrific people and were a delight to work with. I can’t wait for our agencies to partner again."
