Our Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Shopify Migration Process

Discovery and planning establish the Salesforce Commerce Cloud catalogue, ecommerce data, custom integrations and customer journeys that need to be accounted for. This creates a clear migration scope before design, development and data work begin.

The work then moves through data preparation and transfer, theme design and development, QA, testing and validation, followed by launch and post-launch support. Each stage helps prepare the new Shopify store for a controlled transition.

Salesforce Commerce Cloud vs Shopify: Choosing the Right Ecommerce Platform

Salesforce Commerce Cloud is aimed at enterprise ecommerce requirements, and stores built on it often involve catalogue and workflow complexity, custom integrations, specialist development resource and ongoing technical administration.

Shopify provides a hosted ecommerce platform with central store administration, a storefront and theme ecosystem, an app and integration ecosystem, and APIs for custom development where required. Shopify Plus can be considered where more complex ecommerce requirements are involved.

Reasons to Migrate from Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Shopify

Why Ecommerce Teams Consider Shopify

A Salesforce Commerce Cloud migration is often considered to reduce platform complexity and, where appropriate, the dependency on specialist development resource for routine storefront and merchandising changes.

Shopify’s hosted operations, store administration, storefront development model and app and integration ecosystem can support easier day-to-day management, with Shopify Plus available where larger requirements and future store development are relevant.

Our Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Shopify Migration Process

Step by Step Approach to Your Migration

The project begins with discovery and planning, then moves into data preparation and transfer alongside theme design and development. The delivery team works from the agreed scope so platform requirements, content and integrations progress together.

QA, testing and validation are followed by launch and post-launch support, helping ensure key customer journeys, ecommerce data and search signals have been reviewed before and after the new site goes live.

Salesforce to Shopify Data Migration

Products, Customers and Orders

Migration planning can cover products, variants, attributes and options, SKUs, pricing, images, categories and Shopify collections, customer records, addresses and order history. Content and pages, URLs, metadata and redirect requirements can also be reviewed where appropriate.

Not every Salesforce Commerce Cloud field can be migrated automatically, and the exact scope depends on the existing store architecture and the agreed requirements. Migrated data is validated and tested after transfer rather than assumed to be complete.

FAQs

Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Shopify Migration

A Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Shopify migration moves an ecommerce store from Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Shopify or Shopify Plus. The project can include products, customers, orders, content, storefront requirements, integrations, URLs and SEO considerations.

Yes. FoldTech can support Salesforce Commerce Cloud stores moving to Shopify Plus, including migration planning, data transfer, storefront development, integrations, technical SEO requirements, testing and launch preparation.

Migration can include products, variants, SKUs, pricing, images, categories, customers, customer addresses, orders and selected store content. The exact data that can be moved depends on the structure and requirements of the existing Salesforce Commerce Cloud store.

Customer information and historical order data can often be included in the migration. The available fields should be reviewed during planning so the required data can be mapped appropriately into Shopify.

SEO migration work can include reviewing existing URLs, preparing redirect mappings, checking metadata, internal links, crawlability and technical SEO requirements, followed by launch checks after the Shopify store goes live.

Yes. The Shopify storefront can be developed around the required brand design, page layouts, customer journey and ecommerce functionality. A migration can also be used to update parts of the existing storefront experience.

Pre-launch checks can cover migrated data, products, collections, navigation, responsive behaviour, storefront functionality, integrations, redirects, technical SEO requirements and other agreed store requirements.
