What you get

Migration

From Shoptet, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Shopify or a custom build — with order history and a redirect for every old URL.

  • Data first: export of products, customers and orders, design after
  • Products with variants and parameters, customer accounts and order history
  • 301 redirect for every old URL — nothing ends on a 404
  • The old online store keeps selling until the second of the switch
  • 20–30 working days, 14 days of support after launch

Warehouse, invoicing and logistics

An order goes from basket to delivery without a manual touch — warehouse, accounting and carriers connected via API.

  • ERP and warehouse: Pohoda, Money S4 and others; a custom connector where no plug-in exists
  • Dispatch via Chameleon: every carrier from one place, shipment statuses every two hours, barcode-checked picking
  • Pack4You fulfilment — we use it on our own online store
  • Carriers: Packeta, GLS, DPD, SPS, Slovak Post
  • Invoices directly in Upgates, export to accounting (ISDOC, Money, Pohoda)

    A quote with every item listed: the CORE package plus only the add-ons you actually need.

  3. 033–6 wk

    Build

    Online store, carriers, payments, warehouse and invoicing. Previews along the way, no surprise at the end.

  4. 041–2 wk

    Data transfer, redirects, testing. The old online store keeps selling until the second of the switch.

  5. 051 wk

    Launch

    DNS switch, indexing check, measurement. We are on the phone for fourteen days.

    Growth

    Campaigns, marketplaces, retention and the profit report. This is where the investment starts coming back.

Case study

A florist that has grown every year since the migration.

We migrated the store from Shoptet to Upgates, wired same-day delivery into the process and have run its Google and Meta campaigns and newsletter ever since. A year after migration revenue grew 59%, average order value 46% and organic traffic 27%. It keeps growing — this year it is heading for €400,000 from the online store alone.

FAQ

How much does a migration to Upgates cost?

Currently from roughly €5,000. The price depends on the number of products and variants, language versions, B2B price lists and integrations with warehouse, invoicing and carriers. You get an itemised quote — the CORE package plus only the add-ons you actually need. For complex systems we run a data analysis first so we do not guess the price.

How long does a migration take?

Typically 20 to 30 working days from approving the quote to the switch. The old store keeps selling until the second DNS is switched, so there is no revenue gap. After launch we are on the phone for 14 days.

Will I lose Google rankings during migration?

Not if the migration is done right. Every old URL gets a 301 redirect to its new equivalent, meta descriptions and category structure are carried over, and after the switch we monitor indexing in Search Console. For Rozvoz kvetov organic traffic grew 27% in the year after migration.

Which platforms do you migrate from?

Shoptet, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Shopify and custom-built stores. We carry over products with variants and parameters, customer accounts and order history.

Shoptet or Upgates?

Upgates includes all features and add-ons in every plan, handles multiple languages and satellite stores from one admin, has B2B price lists and a Designer for design without coding. Shoptet is simpler to start with and has a larger add-on ecosystem. For a growing store heading into more countries or B2B we recommend Upgates — a detailed comparison of prices and features is in our Shoptet vs Upgates article.
