Moving from Shopify

Bring your Shopify shop to Specify.

We read your Shopify product export and your shop's own pages. You check what we found, and say yes once. This page says what comes across and what does not.

How the move goes

Some steps are yours. Some are done by our team, by hand, today.

  1. Tell us where your shop is

    Sign up, and the setup asks if you sell online already. Give it your shop's address.

  2. Send us your product export

    Export your products from Shopify as a file, and send it to us. You install nothing.

  3. Check it, then say yes once

    Our team loads it for you to check. Nothing is added to your store until you approve it.

  4. Switch over on one day

    On the day, your domain moves and old links lead to the new pages. Our team does this with you. It has not yet been done for a real shop.

What comes across

From your product export, and from your shop's own pages.

  • Each product with its variants, such as sizes and colours.
  • Each variant's code and price, and each product's description.
  • Whether each variant is in stock. Counts do not come across.
  • Your product pictures. They are copied into your store, so they stay when the old shop closes.
  • Your vendor, type and tags, kept on each product.
  • Your About, Contact and FAQ pages. Also your colours, font and logo.
  • Each product's old web address, so the old links can keep working.

What stays behind

The review names each of these, so nothing is dropped without a word.

  • Your customers and your past orders.
  • Your collections. You make your groups again here, by hand.
  • Draft and archived products. They were not for sale.
  • Gift cards.
  • SEO titles and descriptions. Compare-at prices, barcodes, weights and costs. Alt text on pictures.
  • A variant's own picture. It is added to the product's pictures instead.
  • Later changes in your old shop. The import runs once. It is not a sync.

What you set up yourself

These are yours to do in your store's admin before you open.

  • Card payments, on the Payments screen.
  • Your shipping rate and your tax settings.
  • Your delivery, returns and terms pages. They arrive as drafts for you to read and publish.
  • Your privacy page. It is never copied, because it must describe your new store.

Start with your own products

Create your store, and tell the setup where your shop is. Then we ask you for your export.
