How Do I Transfer Items From One Shopify to Another?

Last updated on January 8, 2023 @ 7:17 am

There are a few reasons you might need to transfer items from one Shopify account to another. Maybe you’re consolidating multiple Shopify stores, or you’re moving products to a new store with a different domain. Whatever the reason, the process is relatively simple.

In order to transfer items from one Shopify store to another, you’ll need to export your products from the first store as a CSV file. To do this, go to Products in your admin dashboard and select Export. From there, you can choose which products you want to export and what format you want the CSV file in.

Once you have your CSV file, log in to your second Shopify store and go to Products. Select Import, and then choose the CSV file you exported from your first store. You’ll be given the option to map your product data fields to Shopify’s required fields, and then you can click Import.

That’s it! Your products will now be transferred over to your second Shopify store. If you have any questions or run into any problems, don’t hesitate to reach out to Shopify’s support team.

PRO TIP: If you are considering transferring items from one Shopify store to another, please be aware that there are risks involved.

Firstly, it is important to note that Shopify does not currently offer any official methods or tools for doing this. This means that any transfer must be done manually, which can be both time-consuming and error-prone.

Secondly, there is no guarantee that all data will be successfully transferred over. In particular, any customizations or settings applied to individual products may be lost in the process.

Lastly, it is worth considering whether it might be simpler and less risky to simply start from scratch on the new Shopify store, rather than trying to transfer everything over.
