Made it east to switch ecom platforms

Made it east to switch ecom platforms. One day to switch all our products from one provider to another, with links to redirect from the old to new.

Everything is great

Everything is great. I might wish for the opportunity to modify orders' IDs to match my new site's naming, but it's a minor thing. THank you for the service.

Migration from Shift4Shop to Shopify

I contracted Next-Cart to do a custom migration of my 1000 customers / 2000 products from Shift4Shop to Shopify. The migration included some complex mapping requirements as well as recalculating prices / quantities and sales prices based on certain flags in the source system. Next-Cart did a fantastic job and really quickly. All done in less than a week! I work in IT and it was an absolute pleasure working with Jason. He understood the brief, communicated regularly and made changes as required.

Sue Miller

Excellent Software that's reasonably priced!!!

WOW !! what a time-saver !!!! I had thought of transferring my store over using excel figuring i would have more control and be able to adjust as I went along. Boy am I glad I chose to use Next-Cart instead couple of clicks and setting adjustments and boom! 1000 products, customers, pictures, orders and everything else transferred over in a matter of minutes not hours , days or weeks!

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Shift4Shop migration.

Are product reviews included when migrating from Shift4Shop?

Reviews are not included in the built-in source migration from Shift4Shop, even when products are migrated. Keep a separate review export with references to the relevant products if you need the reviews at the destination. Agree the receiving review system and import format separately.

How are variants and ordinary options handled in Shift4Shop?

Ordinary choices become product options. Existing variants also create Advanced Options, which link each combination to its price, stock and SKU suffix. A source with only ordinary options does not automatically provide stock for every combination. Check the resulting item codes and quantities, especially if another system uses the original SKUs.

Will downloadable products be ready for digital delivery in Shift4Shop?

When supplied by the source, download links are saved as product features named Downloadable File. Those references do not set up protected delivery or restore customers' download permissions. Configure and test file delivery in Shift4Shop separately; confirm any requirements for existing customers' access before migration.

Can I remove the old image hosting after migrating products to Shift4Shop?

Do not remove it based only on product-import completion. Next-Cart sends the original main and gallery image URLs to Shift4Shop; this connection does not separately download the files. Check the resulting image URLs and storage to confirm whether Shift4Shop has independent copies. Rehost any images that still depend on the old domain before retiring that domain or its storage.

Can I migrate the data myself, or can Next-Cart do it for me?

Available services depend on your migration path. Standard Migration lets you use the tool yourself with technical support. With Managed Migration, our technicians carry out the agreed migration. Custom Migration covers tailored requirements, with the migration carried out by you or our team as agreed. Data types must be supported by both connections; choosing expert handling does not by itself add unsupported data.

Can I try the migration before purchasing?

Where a self-service Demo Migration is available for your migration path, you can try it for free before purchasing. It transfers a small sample of supported data so you can check the result. Add-ons and custom work are not included in the self-service demo. For a file-based, custom or technician-assisted evaluation, contact us first to agree the test scope and any applicable cost.

How is the migration cost calculated?

Your data types and quantities determine the Entity Points total and the plan you need. The cost also depends on your chosen service, add-ons, and any custom work. Use the pricing calculator for an estimate; custom work is reviewed and quoted separately.

Can my current store keep accepting orders during the migration?

If you are migrating from a live store, it can normally keep taking orders while Next-Cart copies its data. The migration does not delete or change the source data. Plan the final update and the switch to the new store separately so recent orders and other changes are included. For file-based migrations, changes made after an export require a fresh export; an uploaded file is not a live connection to the store.

Can I repeat the migration or transfer new and updated data later?

Yes. Your license allows repeat runs for the same store and migration path for 12 months from purchase, within your plan’s data limit. Continuing the previous migration can add eligible new records without importing the same mapped records again.

Changing records already migrated is separate: the paid Data Update add-on can update selected fields where your source, target version and those fields are supported. Keep the existing migration links and leave target-data clearing off. It does not automatically update every field or provide continuous synchronization.

Can I upgrade my plan or service after purchasing?

Yes. While your license is valid, you can increase your plan’s data limit and upgrade to a higher service where it is available for your migration path. You can move from Standard Migration to Managed Migration or Custom Migration, or from Managed Migration to Custom Migration.

If you already use Custom Migration, you can add custom work after a review and quote. You pay only the additional amount, and your license expiry date stays the same.
