Switching from Miva Merchant can feel complicated because of its older structure and custom setups. Our team handles the full Miva Merchant to Shopify migration so your store shifts to a cleaner and more flexible system.

Miva Merchant To Shopify Migration Challenges We Help You Overcome

Template Limits

Challenges

The dated template system in Miva Merchant makes layout control hard, so updates take longer and design options stay restricted.

Solution

  • Convert layouts into Shopify themes with clean structure
  • Map page elements to flexible Shopify sections quickly
  • Rebuild visuals with organized HTML and Liquid coding
  • Test all layouts for stable rendering across devices

Module Conflicts

Challenges

Miva stores often depend on several modules, and these add-ons sometimes clash with each other which affects core store behavior.

Solution

  • Identify modules and replace them with Shopify apps
  • Migrate needed functions into custom Shopify scripts
  • Remove unused modules to cut future maintenance work
  • Validate workflows so every feature functions smoothly

Data Formats

Challenges

Miva Merchant uses unique data formats that require cleanup so products, orders, and customer records move safely into Shopify.

Solution

  • Prepare product data for Shopify fields and rules
  • Map order history with consistent identifiers applied
  • Move customer accounts with clean attribute grouping
  • Check exports to keep all records accurate on import

SEO Carryover

Challenges

URL paths and SEO settings in Miva Merchant differ from Shopify, so traffic can drop if redirects and structure are not handled well.

Solution

  • Create redirects to protect inbound traffic sources
  • Transfer metadata into Shopify’s built-in SEO areas
  • Update URL patterns for clean Shopify-friendly routing
  • Test crawl paths to confirm search engines find pages
