Move from Shopify to Mercantyl in 2 to 4 weeks. No downtime.

We’ve done this dozens of times. Most of the work is mechanical: B2B price lists become tier pricing, Shopify B2B companies become buyer accounts, NET-term apps stop being relevant. Most teams are live within a month, and Shopify keeps running until cutover so buyers see no disruption.

Why teams migrate

You're bolting B2B on Shopify

If your stack is Shopify Plus + B2B Ninja + Wholesale Club + ShipperHQ + a custom app for quote-to-order, you're paying enterprise prices for a DTC platform with B2B duct-tape.

You're running multiple stores

Each Shopify Plus store is its own bill, theme, and admin. Mercantyl unifies unlimited brands under one account.

You're tired of agency cycles

Shopify Plus changes go through a partner agency. Mercantyl is self-serve, you change pricing rules in your browser, not a Jira ticket.

The 4-week migration

A typical mid-market migration. Larger operations may run 6 weeks; small single-brand shops finish in 10 days.

Week 1

Discovery & data audit

We map your Shopify data: products, variants, customers, tags, metafields, B2B pricing rules, app data. Output: a migration plan with risks and gaps flagged.

Week 1–2

Catalog import

Bulk-import products, variants, images, descriptions, and inventory levels. Mercantyl maps Shopify B2B Edition data (companies, catalogs, price lists) onto our buyer-account + tier-pricing model automatically.

Week 2

Buyer accounts & pricing

Migrate Shopify B2B companies → Mercantyl buyer accounts. Convert price lists → tier pricing rules. Approval users → multi-user buyer-account members with RBAC.

Week 2–3

Order history & open POs

Backfill order history (last 24 months by default). Open POs and pending quotes carry over. Reorder lists rebuild from purchase patterns.

Week 3

Theme & customer-facing site

Pick a Mercantyl theme or have us mirror your Shopify theme. All B2B features (login-required catalog, NET terms, buyer-only pricing) wire up automatically.

Week 3–4

Integrations & testing

Wire up your ERP, accounting, payments, and shipping integrations. Run a parallel test environment alongside Shopify. Buyers test their accounts before cutover.

Week 4

Cutover

DNS swap. Shopify keeps running until cutover; zero downtime. We monitor for the first 7 days and stay on Slack with your team for 30 days post-launch.

Migration FAQ

Will my buyers see any disruption?

No. Shopify keeps running through the entire migration. Cutover is a DNS swap during a low-traffic window, usually 4 AM your time. Buyers see Mercantyl on first request after cutover.

What about my custom apps and integrations?

Most B2B-related apps (B2B Ninja, Wholesale Club, Bold) become unnecessary because Mercantyl handles their features natively. ERP, accounting, and shipping integrations have direct Mercantyl equivalents, we’ll map and rewire them.

What does it cost?

Migration assistance is included with all plans, there’s no separate migration fee. Your Mercantyl trial extends through migration, so you don’t pay until cutover.

What if I want to test alongside Shopify?

That’s the default. We provision a parallel Mercantyl environment on a staging subdomain. Your team and a few pilot buyers test there before you cut over.

Can I run Mercantyl for B2B and keep Shopify for DTC?

Absolutely. Many teams do exactly this. We integrate both via API so inventory and product data stay in sync.
