Can I migrate categories and subcategories of products to Shopify?

Migrating Categories and Subcategories to Shopify with Automated Data Migration

Yes, with Cart2Cart's automated data migration service, you can seamlessly transfer all the relationships between product categories and subcategories to your new Shopify store. This ensures your product organization remains intact during the migration process.

Shopify utilizes a unique system for organizing products. It uses collections to represent categories and tags to represent subcategories. When you migrate to Shopify, your source store's categories and subcategories need to be correctly mapped to Shopify's collections and tags to maintain your product structure.

Therefore, when you migrate to Shopify, your existing categories/subcategories will be transferred into Shopify collections, and products will be assigned tags corresponding to the subcategories in your original store. To guarantee the preservation of all relationships between product categories and subcategories, it's highly recommended to select the additional option “Migrate Source Store categories into Shopify Automated Collections”.
