When you migrate to Shopify, you need to migrate content such as your products and blog pages, as well as data, such as your customer transactions from your old platform. In this page, the term data refers to both content and data.
few options that you can use to migrate your data:
- Copy and paste content from your old site
- Use existing migration apps from the Shopify App store
- Create (or hire a partner to create) an app that uses the Admin API
- Transfer data manually using CSV files (this option can migrate customers and products only, and does not include customer passwords)
