Migrations fail on the details, not the big picture

Most migration problems aren't the platform switch itself — they're the details. Lost SEO rankings from bad redirects. A subscription app with no Shopify equivalent. Customer data that doesn't map cleanly.

Socomm scopes those details before cutover, not after, with a risk register that names what could go wrong and how it's handled.

How it works

It's a three-step process, start to finish.

Tell us about your current platform

Email us with what you're migrating from and roughly the size of your catalogue and integrations. We'll confirm scope and the right starting point.

We scope the migration brief

We work through data mapping, app gaps, redirects and phasing, and compile it into a documented brief with a risk register. This typically takes 1–2 weeks.

Cutover, launch & support

You receive the brief as a working document, followed by a walkthrough call — and support through cutover and launch if you want it.

Still have questions?

The most common ones, answered straight.

Which platforms do you migrate from?

WooCommerce, Magento/Adobe Commerce, BigCommerce, and most custom-built stores.

Will we lose our SEO rankings?

Redirect mapping is scoped as part of the brief specifically to avoid this. There's still some inherent risk in any platform move, which is why it's named in the risk register rather than left to chance.

What about apps or subscriptions that don't exist on Shopify?

The gap analysis identifies these upfront, and we recommend Shopify equivalents or workarounds before cutover — not discovered after.

Do you handle the technical migration yourselves?

Depends on scope. The brief can be handed to your developer or agency, or Socomm can see it through — agreed upfront.
