Weeks for a standard GoDaddy to Shopify migration

Standard GoDaddy to Shopify migrations complete in 2 to 4 weeks. GoDaddy's limited export capability means more of the data preparation is done manually compared to platforms with fuller CSV exports. Shero scopes the timeline after reviewing the GoDaddy store's catalog size and content volume.

Your GoDaddy domain it points to Shopify via DNS

Domains registered at GoDaddy stay at GoDaddy. The domain is pointed to Shopify by updating DNS records in GoDaddy's domain management panel. There is no transfer required and no interruption to the domain registration. Shero manages the DNS update as part of the go-live process.

Premier Partner

Shero holds Shopify Premier Partner status, one of fewer than 150 agencies globally. GoDaddy migrations involving manual data extraction, custom content rebuilding, and store design alongside data transfer require Shopify platform depth to execute correctly.

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 a GoDaddy migration

GoDaddy's restricted API means data extraction is more manual than most migrations. Products, customers, and orders transfer via migration tooling and CSV. Customer passwords cannot transfer. Content pages need to be rebuilt in Shopify. The domain stays registered at GoDaddy and is pointed to Shopify by updating DNS no transfer required.

  • GoDaddy product catalog extraction and Shopify import with category and variant mapping
  • Customer record and order history transfer
  • URL redirect map from GoDaddy URLs to Shopify handle-based structure
  • SEO metadata, page titles, and descriptions migrated to Shopify
  • DNS update at GoDaddy to point the domain to Shopify at go-live
  • Shopify store design for brands replacing GoDaddy's website builder with a standalone storefront

Why brands work with Shero on GoDaddy to Shopify migration

GoDaddy's export limitations add data preparation time most brands underestimate. The redirect step which GoDaddy's tools make harder than they should is where organic rankings are lost. Shero builds the map before launch.

01

Product data extracted correctly despite GoDaddy's limited API

GoDaddy's API is significantly more restricted than most platforms. Shero uses migration tooling and manual extraction where needed to capture the complete catalog before the Shopify import.

02

URL redirects configured before go-live to protect SEO

Every product and category page needs a 301 from its GoDaddy URL to the Shopify destination. Shero builds the map and verifies it in search console post-launch asurring no rankings are lost post-migration.

03

GoDaddy domain stays at GoDaddy DNS updated to point to Shopify

The GoDaddy domain stays at GoDaddy. Shero updates the DNS A record and CNAME in GoDaddy's domain panel at go-live. No transfer, no downtime.

04

Customer password reset prepared at go-live

Customer passwords cannot transfer. Shero triggers the reset notification at launch so customers can access their accounts without contacting support.

05

GoDaddy site content rebuilt in Shopify

GoDaddy's website builder content doesn't export to another platform. Content pages and blog posts need to be rebuilt in Shopify. Shero migrates content alongside the catalog so the store launches complete.

06

SEO setup on Shopify to capture what GoDaddy's tooling limited

GoDaddy's SEO tools are minimal. Migration to Shopify gives brands proper control over metadata, redirects, and structured data. Shero configures SEO from the start and monitors rankings post-launch.

"Our experience with Shero Commerce has been exceptional. Their expertise in migrating our website to BigCommerce resulted in a seamless transition, and we’ve seen a significant improvement in our checkout process and overall user experience.

Invisible Bead Extensions®

Working with Shero Commerce on our migration from WordPress to Shopify was honestly such a pleasant experience. We’d been on WordPress for five years with tons of content and very specific styling, and moving all of it into one cohesive Shopify site was no small feat — this was a genuinely complex, highly technical migration. But they pulled it off on deadline with zero errors and zero issues. Their team showed up with everything we needed: a project manager, multiple developers, marketing leads, email specialists, and CRO experts, all coordinated through dedicated meetings and a real task management system. They also designed several high impact conversion pages so our digital presence didn’t just function better — it looked beautiful too. Since migrating, we’ve seen an increase in revenue thanks to having one simplified, cohesive platform. I’m so grateful for how seamlessly they executed this, and I’d recommend Shero Commerce to anyone facing a migration like ours.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“
