From your first Shopify order to your next idea.

Keep your Shopify exports and list active products, collections and important pages. Record the order period you need and the apps you cannot do without. Use this to plan the import method and the work beyond importing.

Your photography, product stories and brand remain your starting point. Choose the content to keep and give it a recognisable place in your new design.

Four reasons to build your next chapter with Microcart.

Start with the right import route. Then set up your brand, payments and daily operations in their new home.

A clear subscription.

MicroCart costs €39.95 per store per month, excluding VAT. All MicroCart apps and B2B are included. You can try it free for 14 days. Discuss any additional migration work; payment providers and external services have their own fees.

Your payment provider. 0% Microcart fees.

MicroCart charges no platform transaction surcharge. You can configure Mollie or Stripe; your payment provider charges its own fees. Compare your complete payment setup and configure it before launch.

Make your next design your own.

Start with a free template. Build with blocks in the visual editor and give your collection room through your own photos, colours and story.

Give recurring work a workflow.

Set triggers and conditions and let a workflow send an email, for example. Review which tasks from your Shopify apps you want to set up this way.

A new stage for your Shopify collection.

Work on your brand, product presentation and the tasks behind your store. Give your switch a direction you choose yourself.

A recognizable home for your brand.

Use your own photography, colours and story. Templates and the visual editor help you give your store a look that suits you.

From a Shopify theme to your next design.

Use your current store as inspiration, choose a Microcart template and explore the editor. Your Shopify theme and apps do not transfer as working components; you shape your new store afresh.

Your path from Shopify to Microcart.

Choose CSV for files you supply yourself, or connect Shopify through the API when available. Then check the imported data and set up your new store.

Choose your import approach

Prepare the Shopify exports you need or check your API connection permissions. Decide whether you need order history and which period is accessible.

Check a sample import first

Include a simple product and a product with variants in the agreed test import. Compare counts, SKUs, prices and images with your source file. Record and resolve differences before transferring the rest.

Build your Microcart store around your plans

Shape your transferred collection with a template and the editor. Set up payment providers, shipping and suitable workflows; review which tasks from your Shopify apps need a new setup.

Test and plan your Shopify switchover

Complete a controlled test order through to confirmation. Compare the product, variant, total, shipping charge and payment status with the order in the admin. After switching the domain, check that important old links reach the correct new page.

Check these after the Shopify wizard.

Check data, images, store configuration and links separately. A successful import does not yet mean your store is ready for customers.

0 of 6 prepared

Product data and variants

Check large catalogues carefully: the API reads up to 100 variants and 50 images per product, and 100 lines per order. Compare counts and discuss exceptions before importing.

Original product photos

The import stores image links. Check that images remain accessible after your Shopify store closes; keep the original files too.

Pages and a URL plan

Collections are imported as manual collections. Check their product assignments and publication. Also check existing records and changed URLs: a redirect report is not an active redirect.

Your current integrations

For each Shopify app, record its task, required data and intended replacement. Verify that the task works in your new setup before canceling the old app.

Payments and shipping

Your providers, shipping rates and the countries you sell in.

Domain and launch

Agree who will switch the domain, how to carry over final stock changes and when to revert to the old store if an essential test fails.

Give your Shopify URLs a new destination.

List your /products/ and /collections/ URLs and important pages. Plan suitable new destinations and discuss 301 redirects when a URL changes. Check implementation and links around launch.

Questions about switching from Shopify.

How does the Shopify migration wizard work?

The CSV wizard processes products, collections, pages and customers. The API route can also read accessible order history. Check product text, SKUs, prices, stock, variants, image links and SEO titles after import.

What should I check after the Shopify migration?

Order history through the API depends on Shopify permissions. Standard access covers only the last 60 days; older orders require additional approval. Orders without a customer email are skipped. Customer passwords and payment settings are not transferred.

What happens to my Shopify theme and apps?

The migration wizard transfers store data. Shape your design with a Microcart template and the visual editor. A Shopify theme or app is not transferred as a working component; review functions, workflows and integrations for the tasks you handle today.

How do I compare transaction fees with Shopify?

Microcart charges 0% transaction fees on top of your provider. Shopify may charge third-party transaction fees depending on your plan and setup; these generally do not apply with Shopify Payments. Payment providers charge their own rates in both cases. Compare your actual payment setup.

Can I keep my domain and Shopify URLs?

Include domain management and current URLs in your plan. Check which addresses can stay and which need a suitable new destination. Discuss permanent 301 redirects and test links at launch. Search rankings can change; retaining them is not guaranteed.
