SAP Commerce Cloud → Shopify

Move from SAP Commerce Cloud to Shopify.

SAP Commerce Cloud, formerly Hybris, often sits next to SAP ERP. You can move the storefront to Shopify and keep SAP for orders, stock and finance. We plan the integration first, then the move.

Why stores move

What changes when you leave SAP Commerce Cloud.

Keep your ERP

SAP stays your system for stock, pricing and finance. Shopify becomes the storefront and checkout.

Less to maintain

No storefront servers, upgrades or long release cycles.

Faster for the business

Merchandising, content and promotions handled by your team in Shopify.

What moves over

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.

Where SAP Commerce Cloud migrations need care

The parts we plan before moving anything.

SAP integration

Products, stock, prices, orders and customers flow between SAP and Shopify through a connector or middleware. This is designed first.

B2B and customer pricing

Customer-specific prices and company accounts are mapped to Shopify's B2B features on the right plan, or to an app.

Sites and languages

Country sites map to Shopify Markets with local languages, currencies and domains.

Data and URLs

Catalog and customer data moved in rehearsed runs, every URL redirected.

Be honest about it

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.

Very custom logic

Deep custom pricing, catalog or checkout logic has to be rebuilt with Shopify's extension points, and some of it is better redesigned than copied.

Integrations are the big job

ERP, OMS, PIM and marketing integrations are reconnected one by one. On enterprise migrations this is usually the largest part of the project.

Choosing the plan

Larger stores usually need Shopify Plus, Shopify's enterprise plan. We confirm which plan fits your volume and features before you commit.

How a migration runs

Planned, rehearsed, then switched.

Your old store keeps selling until the moment we switch the domain.

01 / AUDIT

Map everything

Every product type, plugin, integration, URL and legal page on the old store, and what each becomes on Shopify.

02 / MOVE

Import and check

Products first, then customers, then order history, so records link up. Then a line-by-line check of the data.

03 / BUILD

Theme and features

Theme, checkout, payments, taxes, shipping and the apps or custom code that replace old plugins.

04 / LAUNCH

Redirect and switch

Redirects for every old URL, test orders, domain switch, sitemap submitted, and a watch on traffic after launch.

FAQ

SAP Commerce Cloud migration questions.

Will we lose our Google rankings?

Rankings depend on many things, but the biggest avoidable risk is broken URLs. We redirect every old product, category and page URL to its new address before the domain switch, then submit the new sitemap and watch for errors after launch.

Can the old store keep selling during the migration?

Yes. We build and test on Shopify while the old store runs. Orders placed during the build are brought across in a final sync before the switch.

Can customer passwords be moved?

No. Passwords are stored in a form no platform can read or transfer. Customer accounts move over, and customers sign in again on Shopify.

Sources

Shopify features and rules change. We re-check them for your store during planning.
