Migrate from ShopBase to BurgerShop

This guide explains how to migrate your product data from ShopBase to BurgerShop. You can export your products from ShopBase as a CSV file, then import the file directly into BurgerShop.

Unlike migrations that require sellers to edit or convert the exported template before importing, BurgerShop supports direct import from the ShopBase export file. This helps you move your product catalog faster and reduces manual setup work.

Note
Before you start, make sure you have created a BurgerShop store and have access to your ShopBase admin. If you need help during the migration process, contact the BurgerShop Support team.

What data can be migrated

BurgerShop supports importing common ShopBase product data

If you need customer or order records for internal reference, export and save them from ShopBase before closing your old store.

Before you start

Before migrating from ShopBase, make sure that:

• You have created a BurgerShop store.
• You can access your ShopBase admin.
• Your ShopBase products are ready to export.
• Product images are accessible through public image URLs.
• Product titles, prices, variants, and SKUs are correct.
• You can access the email inbox connected to your BurgerShop store.

Important
Do not rename the column headers in the ShopBase CSV file. BurgerShop reads the ShopBase export structure automatically. Extra columns can remain in the file because BurgerShop will use the required data and ignore unsupported columns.

Step 1: Review your ShopBase product data

Before exporting, review your ShopBase catalog and decide which products you want to move to BurgerShop.

Check the following product details:

• Product title
• Product description
• Product images
• Product variants
• Product options, such as color or size
• Product price
• Compare-at price
• SKU
• Tags
• Product type or category
• Product availability

This helps reduce missing or incorrect data after import.

Step 2: Export products from ShopBase

You can export your products from the Products section in ShopBase.

Steps:

1. From your ShopBase admin, go to Products.
2. Click All products.
3. Click Export.
4. Choose the products that you want to export:
   • Current page: Export only products displayed on the current page.
   • All products: Export your full product catalog.
   • Selected products: Export only products that you selected before opening the export popup.
5. Choose the CSV format.
6. Click Export.
7. Download and save the exported CSV file to your computer.

Tip
If you want to migrate your full catalog, select All products before exporting.

Step 3: Import products into BurgerShop

After exporting the CSV file from ShopBase, upload it directly into BurgerShop.

Steps:

1. Log in to your BurgerShop admin.
2. Go to Products.
3. Click Import.
4. Upload the CSV file exported from ShopBase.
5. Click Import products.
6. Wait for the import process to finish.

The processing time depends on the number of products, variants, and images included in your file.

Note
You do not need to edit the ShopBase export file before importing it into BurgerShop.

Step 4: Check the import result email

After the import is complete, BurgerShop will send an email notification to your store email.

The email may include:

• Whether the import was successful or failed
• Number of products imported successfully
• Products or rows that could not be imported
• Error reasons, if any
• Suggested next steps to fix incomplete data

If some products fail to import, review the email, update the affected data if needed, and import the file again.

Tip
If you do not receive the import result email, check your spam or junk folder. You should also confirm that your BurgerShop store email is correct.

Step 5: Review imported products

After importing, review your products in BurgerShop to make sure the information is correct.

Check the following details:

• Product title
• Product description
• Product images
• Product price
• Compare-at price
• Product variants
• Variant options
• SKU
• Product tags
• Product type or category
• Product status

If any information is missing or incorrect, you can edit the product manually in BurgerShop admin

Step 6: Optional: Migrate product reviews

If your ShopBase store includes product reviews, you can export and import them into BurgerShop. Follow this article to move product review

After importing reviews, check that each review is connected to the correct product and displays properly on your storefront.

If your review data does not import correctly, contact BurgerShop Support for assistance.

Step 7: Set up your storefront

After your store data has been imported, customize your BurgerShop storefront so it matches your brand.

You can review and update:

• Store logo
• Brand colors
• Homepage layout
• Product page layout
• Navigation menu
• Footer content
• Store policies

Make sure your storefront is clear, easy to navigate, and ready for customers before going live.

Step 8: Set up shipping, taxes, and payments

Before accepting orders, configure the main settings required to operate your BurgerShop store.

Shipping

Set up your shipping areas, delivery methods, shipping fees, and fulfillment process. Review your shipping settings carefully to avoid undercharging or overcharging customers.

Taxes

Configure tax settings based on your business location and the regions where you sell. If you are unsure which tax settings apply to your store, consult a tax professional.

Payments

Set up your payment methods so customers can complete checkout successfully. After enabling payment options, review your checkout settings and store policies.

Step 9: Place test orders

Before launching your store, place test orders to make sure the checkout flow works correctly.

You should test:

• Successful payment
• Failed payment
• Order confirmation
• Refund or cancellation
• Fulfillment process
• Customer notification emails

Testing helps you understand the customer experience and identify any issues before real customers place orders.

Step 10: Set up your domain

If you already have a domain for your ShopBase store, you can connect or transfer it to your BurgerShop store.

Before updating your domain settings, you need to transfer domain’s permisstion from 3rd party to Coulfare

After the domain is connected, check that your storefront loads correctly and that important pages are accessible.

Step 11: Review SEO settings

To help maintain search visibility after migration, review your SEO settings before launching your BurgerShop store.

You should check:

• Product page titles
• Meta descriptions
• Collection or category URLs
• Important page URLs
• Redirects from old WooCommerce pages

All BurgerShop stores automatically generate a sitemap.xml file that contains links to all your products, primary product image, pages, collections, and blog posts. This file is used by search engines such as Google and Bing to index your site so that your store’s pages display in search results.

Submitting your sitemap files to Google Search Console helps Google find and index pages on your site
