how to migrate from a yahoo store to shopify

hello everybody if you are on the Yahoo,business eCommerce platform that was,bought by Abaco and you are thinking,about or planning to migrate to another,platform you come to the right place at,Optimum 7 we have planned and migrated,multiple Yahoo business stores in the,past 10 years and if you have been on,Yahoo for a while it's been challenging,Yahoo business has changed the hands,about four to five times in the past 10,years it just keeps being sold from one,company to another I don't think that I,have to repeat the challenges you have,had on this e-commerce platform the,limitations for the catalog limitations,for the design structure and the,template structure you cannot do custom,checkout processes if you were able to,do it you're relying on third-party,systems and Yahoo made it impossible for,you to add new functionalities that,would enhance your conversions enhance,your operations without costing an arm,and a lake we can help you with a,seamless migration process where we,migrate your products your customers the,different functionalities design,templates orders and any custom flows,that you may have on top of this we can,give you really enhanced functionalities,like search and filter based on AI,pre-checkout and post checkout upsell,functionalities optimized product pages,that will Skyrocket your conversions and,a fast loading website that is also,mobile friendly we make it a breeze for,you to migrate your Yahoo business to,another platform like a big Commerce or,a Shopify watch the rest of this video,to see at what level we do a migration,execution such as this one this,documentation shows migration from,becomers to Shopify but it's essentially,the same documentation that we've,created for all the different platforms,the steps might change the details might,change the API might change but the,process Remains the Same so if you look,at the Bigcommerce to Shopify process,here as you can see we have database com,commands we have migration commands and,we have the entire URL structures and,everything because different platforms,have different URL structures and the,different special characters limitations,there are so many exceptions right not,only that if you look at our GitHub,account on GitHub we have done these,migrations before so we have full code,on how we validate the products the,customers the orders how we tie them,together how we process HTML if you have,HTML on your product pages on,Bigcommerce that need to move over to,Shopify now eCommerce and Shopify manage,options and variables differently right,there is actually some sort of,limitation on Shopify with your options,that way you cannot have unlimited,options so we evaluate all of this,information through our code because,we've done this thousands of times and,if you look at this you'll see all kinds,of migration processes here and every,single piece of code basically makes,sure that we validate this information,through the API this is not an export,import of a CSV file you can have two,migration for a website that does,millions of dollars annually through an,automated software software is not going,to validate any of this now if you want,to look at the documentation there's a,more detailed documentation that we have,here it has all these types of manual,links it has a different exceptions,based on you know what you can do and,becomes but what you cannot do on,Shopify vice versa again character,limitations the special characters the,errors that you might have and we do all,of this through our process here as you,can see this is a very very detailed,execution,now why do we do it this way because,it's very important that you don't lose,organic ranks and you don't get 404s,because your traffic is going to drop,your sales are going to drop it's very,painful we have a lot of prospects that,use automated software and the migration,did not go well and they didn't work,with an expert and they come back and,they're like Wow we lost 50 percent of,our traffic we want we lost 60 percent,of watch sales so you don't want that to,happen to you the last thing is if you,actually again go to optimum7.com,forward slash migrations page you will,see let me show you that really quickly,you will see a detailed checklist that,you can download here the 125 step,platform migration checklist and that,checklist looks like this it will help,you throughout the process you know the,platform selection the planning,uh the actual migration the storefront,the back end the checkout the data the,integration and anything that has to do,with the marketing social media tracking,as well I strongly suggest that you,download this because it will help you,plan your entire migration process now,of course we want everybody to do their,due diligence you know whenever you do,this kind of migration look at the,examples look at case studies of,whomever you're going to work with I'll,show you some from Optimum seven you,know we migrated RC Superstore it's the,site that we worked on specialist ID,Good Counsel keys to your door Echo and,close and if you actually look at this,like what happened after the migration,process I think we migrated this site in,2016. I think we migrated this in 2017,you'll see the database growth in terms,of organic visibility so their metrics,have actually improved because whenever,you do a platform migration you want to,go to a speed and mobile first website,and you have to pay attention to the to,the mobile usability metrics and you,have to make certain improvements to,design and from a conversion standpoint,you have to implement certain,functionalities like search and filter,and this is all an effect of that,because Google pays attention to how,people because everybody has analytics,Google pays attention to how your users,and your customers interact with your,website okay so do your due diligence,definitely to go through the process but,this is very very important please,please make sure you do the 301,redirects properly at the end as one of,the most important aspects of this you,don't want to lose your ranks you don't,want to lose money you don't want to,lose the authority that you've worked so,hard to build and if you have any,questions please let us know thank you,I hope that this video was helpful if,you have any questions please reach out,to us at optimum7.com you can always,email info optimum7.com or click the,link below,thank you for watching this video be,sure to hit the Subscribe button for,more videos on e-commerce custom,development marketing and much more and,leave us a comment if you'd like to,discuss the contents of this video,further
