From marketplace seller to your own store.
Marketplaces are a good start, but the fees, rules and customers belong to them. We turn your listings into your own Shopify store, with your brand, your domain and your customer list, while keeping marketplace sales where they still make sense.
What changes when you leave Etsy, Amazon or eBay.
Own your customers
Customer emails and repeat purchases belong to you, not the marketplace.
Your brand, your rules
Your design, your policies, your product pages.
Keep the marketplaces
Shopify can stay connected to marketplaces through sales channel apps, with stock managed in one place.
Your data comes with you.
Shopify's own guidance is to import products first, then customers, then historical orders. We follow it and check the result.
Products
Titles, descriptions, images, variants, prices, stock and SEO fields.
Customers
Names, emails, addresses and marketing consent. Passwords can't be moved, so customers sign in again.
Order history
Past orders, imported after products and customers so they link to the right records.
Content
Blog posts, pages, gift cards and store credit where the old platform exports them.
URLs and SEO
A 301 redirect for every old product, category and page URL, plus titles and meta descriptions.
Integrations
ERP, email, reviews and shipping tools reconnected or replaced.
The parts we plan before moving anything.
Listings into a catalog
Marketplace listings become proper Shopify products with variants, collections and SEO fields.
Stock in sync
If you keep selling on marketplaces, stock is managed in Shopify so you don't oversell.
Policies and legal pages
Returns, shipping, privacy and the legal pages each country expects, which the marketplace used to cover.
First traffic
Search basics, product feeds and email capture set up so the new store can be found.
Trade-offs to weigh.
Shopify is not the right answer for every store. These are the points we go through with you before recommending the move.
You bring the traffic
A marketplace brings shoppers to you. Your own store needs search, email and social to bring them. We set up the basics, but marketing stays with you.
Running two places
Most sellers keep the marketplace for a while. That means keeping stock and listings in sync, which we set up.
Your own policies
Returns, shipping and customer service are fully yours now, including the legal pages each country expects.
Planned, rehearsed, then switched.
Your old store keeps selling until the moment we switch the domain.
Map everything
Every product type, plugin, integration, URL and legal page on the old store, and what each becomes on Shopify.
Import and check
Products first, then customers, then order history, so records link up. Then a line-by-line check of the data.
Theme and features
Theme, checkout, payments, taxes, shipping and the apps or custom code that replace old plugins.
Redirect and switch
Redirects for every old URL, test orders, domain switch, sitemap submitted, and a watch on traffic after launch.
Etsy, Amazon or eBay migration questions.
Can we keep selling on the marketplace?
Yes. Most sellers keep it at first. Stock is managed in Shopify so both stay in sync.
Do our marketplace reviews come with us?
Marketplace reviews usually belong to the marketplace. We set up product reviews on your own store from day one.
Do we need a lot of products to start?
No. A focused catalog with good product pages is a better start than everything at once.
