Customer passwords transfer securely in X-Cart migrations no reset required

Unlike most platform migrations, X-Cart customer passwords can be transferred to Shopify via a cryptographic hash, meaning existing customers can log in with their existing credentials immediately after launch. This removes one of the most common friction points in migration go-lives and eliminates the password reset support volume spike.

2-4

Weeks for a standard X-Cart to Shopify migration

Standard X-Cart to Shopify migrations run 2 to 4 weeks. Products, product attributes, customer records with wholesale pricing tiers, order history, and CMS content pages all transfer. B2B account configurations need to be mapped to Shopify Plus's customer and company model before import.

98%

Client Retention

98% of Shero's clients stay on retainer after their project closes. X-Cart migrants typically invest in Shopify Plus B2B development to extend the capabilities the platform has delivered.

Shopify

Premier Partner

Shero holds Shopify Premier Partner status, one of fewer than 150 agencies globally. X-Cart migrations require mapping B2B pricing tiers and company account structures to Shopify Plus B2B, rebuilding X-Cart module functionality in Shopify's ecosystem, and decommissioning the self-hosted infrastructure.

The collaboration between us and Shero Commerce on the JustRite multi store site went beyond what we had hoped for. Their dedication to understanding our unique requirements has greatly enhanced our online presence.

What transfers and what needs attention in an X-Cart migration

Every X-Cart module needs to be reviewed and mapped to its Shopify equivalent before go-live. The migration involves:

  • X-Cart product catalog, attributes, and category structure migration
  • Customer accounts with membership levels and wholesale pricing tier mapping
  • Order history transfer including line items, payment details, and order notes
  • X-Cart module audit: each module mapped to Shopify app equivalent or rebuilt
  • CMS content page migration and URL redirect map
  • Shopify Plus B2B configuration to replace X-Cart's wholesale and company account features

Why brands work with Shero on X-Cart to Shopify migration

X-Cart's B2B pricing tiers and company account structures need pre-migration mapping before any customer data moves. Getting wholesale pricing wrong means B2B buyers see incorrect prices from day one. Shero maps every pricing tier before the import runs.

01

X-Cart wholesale pricing and company accounts mapped to Shopify Plus B2B

X-Cart's membership levels, wholesale pricing tiers, and customer role structures are migrated to Shopify Plus company profiles, company catalogs, and customer tags. Shero maps every pricing tier and account structure before migration so B2B buyers see the correct contracted price from their first login on the new store. See how Shopify Plus B2B handles wholesale pricing.

02

Customer passwords transfer without requiring a reset

X-Cart password hashes are compatible with a secure migration path to Shopify. Customers can log in with their existing credentials immediately after launch, avoiding the password reset support spike that most platform migrations generate. Shero confirms the hash migration process and tests it before go-live.

03

X-Cart modules reviewed and replaced before go-live

X-Cart's module system adds features that are specific to the PHP platform. Each module must be individually assessed: does a Shopify app cover the same function? Does it need to be rebuilt as a Shopify Function? Or is it legacy functionality the brand no longer needs? Shero runs this assessment in discovery so there are no surprises at launch.

04

X-Cart product attributes and classes mapped to Shopify's variant model

X-Cart's product class and attribute system is more granular than Shopify's variant model. Products with multiple attribute types need to be mapped to Shopify's three-option-per-product structure, using metafields for data that doesn't fit the variant model. Shero designs the mapping before any products are imported.

05

URL redirect map built before the new store goes live

X-Cart and Shopify use different URL structures. Shero builds the full redirect map from the X-Cart URL inventory to Shopify destinations and verifies it in Search Console after go-live. Full Shopify SEO setup is part of every migration Shero runs.

06

Self-hosted server infrastructure decommissioned after a stable go-live

X-Cart runs on self-hosted servers the brand manages. After migration, that infrastructure hosting, database servers, PHP environment can be retired. Shero includes server decommission planning in the migration timeline so the team knows when the old environment can be safely switched off.

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“
