Before you start
Before migrating your data, make sure you have:
- Created a BurgerShop store
- Exported your product data from your current platform
- Prepared your product review file, if you want to import reviews
- Checked that product images are accessible
- Reviewed your product titles, descriptions, prices, variants, and SKUs
- Confirmed that your store email is active and accessible
A migration is also a good time to clean up old products, remove low-performing items, and improve product information before launching your new store.
Step 1: Import your products
After exporting your product file from your current platform, you can import it into BurgerShop.
Steps:
- From your BurgerShop admin, go to Products.
- Click Import.
- Upload your product file.
- Review the import preview.
- Click Import products.
- Wait until the import process is complete.
The processing time depends on the number of products, variants, and images included in your file.
Step 2: Check your import result by email
After the import process is completed, BurgerShop will send an email notification to inform you of the import result.
The email may include:
- Whether the import was successful or failed
- The number of products imported successfully
- The number of products that failed to import, if any
- The reason for failed imports
- Suggested next steps to fix the issue
If the import fails, review the reason provided in the email, update the affected file or product data, and try importing again.
Tip
If you do not receive the import result email, check your spam or junk folder. You should also confirm that the email address connected to your BurgerShop store is correct.
Step 3: Import product reviews
If you have product reviews from your previous platform, you can import them into BurgerShop.
Steps:
- Prepare your product review file.
- From your BurgerShop admin, go to the review import area.
- Upload the review file.
- Review the import result.
- Check that reviews are connected to the correct products.
Product reviews should be reviewed after import to make sure the reviewer name, rating, review content, and related product are displayed correctly.
Step 4: Verify and organize your products
After importing your products, review your product catalog carefully.
Check the following details:
- Product title
- Product description
- Product images
- Product variants
- Product price
- Compare-at price
- SKU
- Inventory quantity
- Product status
- Product type
- Product tags
- Collections or categories
If any product information is missing or incorrect, you can edit the product directly in your BurgerShop admin.
Step 5: Set up your storefront
Product import does not automatically migrate your old store design. After importing products, you need to set up your BurgerShop storefront.
Review and configure:
- Store logo
- Brand colors
- Theme layout
- Homepage sections
- Navigation menu
- Product page layout
- Footer content
- Store policies
Make sure your storefront is clear, easy to browse, and ready for customers before going live.
Step 6: Set up shipping, taxes, and payments
Before launching your store, configure the main settings required to accept real orders.
Shipping
Set up your shipping zones, shipping methods, shipping rates, and delivery time.
Taxes
Configure tax settings based on your business needs and the markets where you sell.
Payments
Set up your payment methods so customers can complete checkout successfully.
Step 7: Place test orders
Before sending traffic to your store, place test orders to make sure the shopping flow works correctly.
You should test:
- Product page
- Add to cart
- Checkout
- Payment
- Order confirmation
- Customer notification emails
- Fulfillment flow
- Refund or cancellation flow
Testing helps you identify issues before real customers place orders.
Step 8: Connect your domain
If you already have a custom domain, you can connect it to your BurgerShop store after your products and storefront are ready.
Before switching your domain, make sure:
- Your BurgerShop store is fully reviewed
- Checkout works correctly
- Important pages are completed
- Store policies are published
- Product pages are ready
After connecting the domain, check that your homepage, product pages, collection pages, and checkout page load correctly.
Step 9: Review SEO settings
To help maintain search visibility after migration, review your SEO settings before launching.
Check the following:
- Product page titles
- Meta descriptions
- Product URLs
- Collection URLs
- Important page URLs
- Redirects from old URLs, if needed
- Sitemap availability
If your old platform URLs are different from your new BurgerShop URLs, set up redirects for important pages when possible. This helps customers and search engines find the correct pages after migration.
Next steps
After importing your products and reviews, check the import result email, review your catalog, complete your storefront setup, configure shipping and payments, place test orders, and connect your domain when your store is ready.
