Migrate VTEX to Shopify
Migrate your VTEX operation to Shopify or Shopify Plus with a comprehensive replatforming strategy that preserves data, SEO, integrations, and B2C or B2B business processes.
Migration from VTEX to Shopify
VTEX operations tend to involve much more than just the catalog and checkout. Enterprise integrations, different marketplaces, business rules, logistics, and B2B processes may be part of the existing architecture.
Therefore, a migration to Shopify should begin with a comprehensive assessment of the business operations, rather than simply transferring the product catalog.
At Basicamente Digital , we design the replatforming process by taking into account the current state of the business and its future goals.

We redesigned the operational architecture
Migrating from VTEX to Shopify does not mean replicating all the technological decisions made on the previous platform.
We analyze existing processes and identify what should be retained, simplified, or rebuilt using Shopify's native features, apps, or custom development.
The result is an architecture designed for the new platform and for the future evolution of the operation.

We migrated the data from your VTEX operation
A VTEX operation may contain extensive catalogs, various SKUs, specifications, customers, and transaction history.
Before the migration, we assess the existing data model and define the mapping to Shopify.
When necessary, we transform and reorganize the information rather than simply replicating old structures.

We preserve SEO during the migration
A migration from VTEX to Shopify can significantly alter the technical structure and URLs of the e-commerce site.
We identify the relevant pages and create the corresponding redirect map for the new Shopify architecture.
SEO work is part of the migration process from the very beginning and continues after the go-live by monitoring indexing.

We integrate Shopify with your ERP
In enterprise-level VTEX projects, e-commerce is often just one component of a broader technology architecture.
The switch to Shopify does not mean replacing ERP, CRM, PIM, WMS, or other systems that remain necessary for operations.
We have developed the necessary workflows so that Shopify can automatically communicate with the other systems.

Custom middleware for Shopify integrations
In a large-scale operation, integrations cannot rely solely on a single call between two APIs.
Basicamente Digital uses its own middleware to manage communication between Shopify and other systems, allowing it to manage queues, errors, and reprocessing, and to maintain information about the operations performed.
When the system architecture allows it, synchronizations can be processed in seconds.

Shopify Plus for B2C and B2B operations
For organizations migrating from VTEX with more advanced business requirements, Shopify Plus can be part of the new architecture.
We can set up B2C and B2B operations, integrate business rules from the ERP, and prepare for different markets without assuming that all existing logic must remain within the e-commerce platform.
Each requirement is analyzed to determine where its logic should reside.

A comprehensive replatforming process
The new Shopify operation can be rolled out in parallel while VTEX continues to support the business.
We start with the technical and functional analysis, move on to architecture and UX/UI, and only then proceed to development, data migration, and integrations.
Before the go-live, the main operational workflows are tested and the transition between platforms is prepared.

When does it make sense to migrate from VTEX to Shopify?
VTEX and Shopify are platforms designed for e-commerce operations, and the switch should be based on a well-reasoned technological and business decision.
A migration may be considered when a company wants to align its operations with the Shopify ecosystem, review its technology architecture, simplify certain processes, or support a new B2C, B2B, or international strategy.
Before recommending the change, we assess the requirements and dependencies of the existing operation.
