German Publishing House migrates 20,000 orders to Shopify with LitExtension

A well-established German publishing house specializing in spirituality and wellness media faced a significant challenge when they decided to migrate to Shopify. Their only available data was a raw database dump from an outdated custom system, and they needed an expert to handle the complex transfer. They turned to LitExtension for its Database Migration Service to accurately move all core data, preserve product relationships, and create 301 redirects.

LitExtension meticulously mapped the database tables to Shopify's structure, ensuring a precise transfer of products, customers, and over 20,000 orders. Their Customization Service was used to migrate recommended items into metafields and implement the necessary redirects for SEO. The client praised LitExtension for being responsive, detail-oriented, and professional, successfully bringing their new store to life from the raw data alone.
