After years of applying security patches, slow loads, and shelling out cash for server upgrades, we're finally saying adios to our aging Open Source infrastructure. We've kicked off our magento to shopify migration at this moment, and the technical hurdle ahead is beginning to cause our operations team headaches already.
Our immediate and most pressing issue will be retaining over eight years of built-up SEO value. We have thousands of indexed products with .html extensions in our URLs, deeply nested categories, and numerous internal linking strategies. In addition, attempting to account for all of our complex custom EAV product attributes, product variant setup, and customer order data, will result in massive amounts of loss utilizing automated CSV import tools unless it is carefully executed.
Any enterprise class-catalog store owners that have already executed a magento to shopify replatform and can share some strategies and lessons learned regarding 301 redirects? Do I need to script custom API calls to account for complex redirects and avoid create chains or killing our rankings, or is using matrixify or a more expensive agency the best option. I also need to know what everyone did to maintain the user passwords, given that they will not transfer directly over... Thanks in advance.
