From CommerceHQ to Shopify. A bigger ecosystem.

Why people trust us with migrations.
We've done this hundreds of times, across nine source platforms, for stores of every size.

Niche platform with limited ecosystem
CommerceHQ focuses on dropshipping and high-AOV stores. The app ecosystem is small (~50 apps). Shopify has 13,000+ apps and a much larger developer pool.
Less flexible theme customization
CommerceHQ themes are functional but harder to customize deeply. Shopify's Liquid + Online Store 2.0 gives you full control over every section of every page.
Higher monthly costs without proportional features
CommerceHQ plans start at $59/mo (Pro) and run to $349/mo. Shopify Basic ($39/mo) often has more capability through apps, and Shopify Plus ($2,300/mo) far exceeds anything CommerceHQ offers.
Hard to find CommerceHQ developers
CommerceHQ's developer community is small. Finding help is expensive when you can find it at all. Shopify developers are everywhere.
What we handle in a CommerceHQ → Shopify migration.
Product, variant, and category migration
CommerceHQ products, variants, and categories all migrate to Shopify products and collections. Custom fields preserved as metafields.
Customer data and order history
Customer records, addresses, and complete order history transfer. Customers log in with password reset email on launch day.
URL structure and 301 redirects
CommerceHQ URLs map to Shopify's /products/ and /collections/ patterns. Every URL gets a 301 redirect. SEO metadata preserved.
Upsell and downsell funnels
CommerceHQ's upsell/downsell flows rebuild as Shopify post-purchase pages (free apps available) or custom checkout extensibility on Plus.
Discount codes and promotions
CommerceHQ promotions and coupon codes migrate to Shopify Discounts. Conditional offers and bulk discounts preserved.

The 5 things CommerceHQ merchants ask before migrating.
Will my CommerceHQ SEO transfer?
Yes. We map every URL with 301 redirects, preserve metadata, and migrate your sitemap. CommerceHQ's URL structure differs from Shopify, but the redirect mapping is straightforward. Most clients see rankings recover in 4-6 weeks.
How long does a CommerceHQ migration take?
Under 500 SKUs: 3 weeks. 500-5K SKUs: 4 weeks. CommerceHQ data exports are clean, so the migration itself is fast. The theme rebuild and app reconfiguration are the longest parts.
What about my CommerceHQ upsell funnels?
Shopify has stronger upsell capabilities. CommerceHQ upsells migrate to Shopify's post-purchase pages (free apps like ReConvert or Zipify One Click Upsell), or custom checkout extensibility on Plus. Most merchants see higher AOV after migration because Shopify's upsell apps are more refined.
Will I lose my dropshipping integrations?
No — Shopify has the largest dropshipping ecosystem. AliExpress (DSers), CJDropshipping, Spocket, Modalyst, Zendrop — all native Shopify apps. The transition usually improves your dropshipping setup rather than disrupting it.
How does Shopify pricing compare to CommerceHQ?
CommerceHQ Pro is $59/mo, Premium $129/mo, Enterprise $349/mo. Shopify Basic ($39/mo), Shopify ($105/mo), Advanced ($399/mo), Plus ($2,300/mo). Roughly comparable at each tier, but Shopify's ecosystem of free and paid apps means you often need fewer paid add-ons to do the same things.
