What to review before migration discovery
A useful migration conversation starts before imports. Inventory the source store, decide what must move, and name the risks that need validation before production work.
- Current platform, product count, categories, media, pricing model, and product-option complexity.
- Customers, accounts, order history, subscriptions, memberships, refunds, taxes, and fulfillment dependencies.
- Checkout, email, payment, account dashboard, support lookup, and admin reporting expectations.
- Redirects, SEO-sensitive URLs, search behavior, collections, filters, and post-launch discovery needs.
- Integrations, custom fields, manual data, exclusions, rollback needs, and owner acceptance criteria.
- Whether a local or staging test import can be reviewed before production changes.
