GoDaddy To Shopify

Pelican Commerce is a Full-Service alternative to Cart2Cart Automated Migration Service. We offer a full scope of work for small businesses migrating their existing website to Shopify. Our focus is on retaining your existing SEO Rank/Authority and getting your website fully set up and launched.

Automated migration services lack some very important features to be considered “Complete” solutions for the established online seller. Here is a list of some of the things Cart2Cart cannot transfer in their Automated Migration.

What Migration Plugins CANNOT do:

1. Cannot Setup your Theme - Banners, Fonts, Colors, Layouts
2. Cannot migrate embedded image assets to the Shopify CDN including PDFs, or Videos hosted on your own server.
3. Products that exceed Shopify's 3 Various Drop-Downs, and or a total maximum of 100 SKUs per product page.
4. Custom Shipping Profiles
5. Tracking Code for Google Ads, Facebook, Event tracking code, etc.
6. App Setup
7. Tax, Payments, Notification Templates
8. POS and other Channel Setup like Facebook Commerce, Instagram, and Amazon.
9. Custom Fulfillment Setup
10. Tabs on the product detail page with both default tabs (across the entire site) and product-specific tabs with custom attributes.
11. Product Attributes from a grid generated on your old website by the database.
12. Custom products that require text boxes, tick boxes, checkboxes, swatches, etc. (Requires app setup in Shopify).

Looking for a complete end-to-end migration to Shopify? We will get you past the finish line and fully launched on Shopify from GoDaddy.

What makes us different:

We create bots, crawl and capture your product data without disrupting your existing website operation. Since we are a white-glove migration service we are not using an API to migrate your data. We have full control of the entire migration process with many checkpoints to address common issues when moving platforms. Our focus is on matching page for page 1:1 to retain your existing website rank and authority with Search Engines. We set up your theme, apps, store settings, and get you up and running on Shopify.

We also migrate content, category content, and much more. 

A common issue we have solved is with embedded images. We pull all URLs in bulk, download to a local folder, then upload to your Shopify CDN folder, and remap the URLs in bulk. Once moved all images are now hosted by Shopify. This prevents your images from completely breaking. Another common issue is losing your embedded URLs to Social Channels, and Google traffic.

We take care of the entire process to be sure you do not lose your existing traffic/SEO.

GoDaddy has one of the more outdated platforms when it comes to building an online store. Many small businesses that have outgrown the sparse features of GoDaddy are moving to Shopify to capture better marketing features and an overall more connected platform. GoDaddy makes it difficult to export any data from their system. Meaning when you add product data, pricing, and content, that cannot easily be moved out of their system. We solve this issue by crawling the data from the live front end website and then format and upload to Shopify. This allows you to get moved faster and in the most complete way.
