If you're planning to migrate your Shopify store, it's important to find a reliable and experienced Shopify migration expert to help you through the process. Before hiring someone, make sure to ask these 10 important questions to ensure that you're getting the best possible service and support.

What is your experience with Shopify migrations?
This is a crucial question to ask before hiring a Shopify migration expert. You want to make sure that the person or company you're working with has extensive experience with Shopify migrations and has successfully completed similar projects in the past. Ask for examples of previous migrations they have completed and any relevant certifications or training they have received. This will give you a good idea of their level of expertise and whether they are the right fit for your project.

Can you provide references or case studies of successful migrations?
When hiring a Shopify migration expert, it's important to ask for references or case studies of successful migrations they have completed in the past. This will give you an idea of their track record and whether they have experience working with businesses similar to yours. Ask for specific details about the migration process, any challenges they faced, and how they overcame them. This information will help you make an informed decision about whether to hire them for your project.

What is your process for migrating a Shopify store?
Before hiring a Shopify migration expert, it's important to understand their process for migrating a store. Ask them to walk you through the steps they take, from data migration to testing and launch. This will give you an idea of their level of expertise and whether they have a thorough and organized approach to the migration process. Additionally, ask about any potential roadblocks or challenges they anticipate and how they plan to address them. A clear and detailed process is essential for a successful migration.

How do you handle data migration and ensure data accuracy?
Data migration is a critical aspect of any Shopify migration. It's important to ask your potential migration expert how they handle data migration and ensure data accuracy. This includes how they transfer product information, customer data, and order history from your current store to the new one. Ask about their process for mapping data fields and how they ensure that all data is transferred accurately. Additionally, ask about their testing process to ensure that all data is functioning properly in the new store. A thorough and detailed approach to data migration is essential for a successful Shopify migration.

What is your approach to preserving SEO and website traffic during the migration?
One of the biggest concerns during a Shopify migration is the potential loss of SEO and website traffic. It's important to ask your potential migration expert about their approach to preserving SEO and website traffic during the migration process. This includes how they handle URL redirects, meta tags, and other important SEO elements. Additionally, ask about their plan for notifying search engines of the migration and any changes to your website. A skilled migration expert will have a detailed plan in place to minimize any negative impact on your SEO and website traffic.

We engaged WAHOO BOOTCAMP for Shopify consulting services, and they exceeded our expectations. Their guidance was instrumental in our successful migration. Despite designing the website ourselves, their expertise added immense value. Highly recommended!

By far the best professional work I have got done in India is from Wahoo. They were available at odd hours. Ramesh has been a constant help and a great work executor. We were working under budget and how well he has managed my expectation is far beyond my words to explain my gratitude. Thank you so much. I 100% refer him and his company for any website development work or even consultancy services.

We made an agreement in May, and we are now mid July. Have not heard from a team member of Wahoo for 4 weeks. No idea if they are still planning on working on the website. Extremely disappointed as we received multiple offers from other companies but went with this company. Did fulfil any of the agreement. Poor communications and delivery. Left really disappointed after wasting almost 3 months. Wouldn't recommend
