Redirects added for you
Whenever a URL changes
Export, import, rebuild, point the domain.
The move is the same four jobs whichever platform you leave. The product file takes the most care, and your current shop keeps trading until the domain moves.
Export what you have
Download your products, customers and orders from the platform you are on, as spreadsheets. Take the exports before you change anything, and keep a copy.
Import into Orbit
Shopify and WooCommerce product exports go in as they are. From anywhere else, give the product file a spreadsheet pass first, starting from Orbit’s sample CSV; the column mapper then shows your first product before anything is written.
Rebuild the pages
Pick a free or premium theme and lay out your pages in the page builder. The new shop runs on its own myorbitcommerce.net address, so you can check every page before the switch.
Point the domain
Shopify product handles come across unchanged, and old /collections/ links forward to /categories/ on their own. Load every other old URL into the redirect importer, then move the domain. Rename a handle later and its redirect is added for you.
Nothing on top
Of the card rate
The card rate for your plan is the whole cost of a card payment, our share included. On Solo, UK personal cards are 2% + 25p.
A free call
Help with the move
Bring your store URL and a product export to a Microsoft Teams call. We open it with you, check what comes across and plan the redirects for the pages that rank.
Your data leaves too
Exports any time
Products, customers and orders export as CSV from the dashboard whenever you want, so moving to Orbit is never a one-way door.
Every plan imports. Pick by features, not by size.
The importer, the redirect importer and the exports are on every plan. Plans differ by staff seats, storage, card rates and the Enterprise extras, never by how much you sell.
