General Questions

Can Cart2Cart migrate my custom fields to Shopify?

Cart2Cart supports the migration of standard and some custom fields; however, Shopify has limitations regarding custom data storage. Shopify does not have a built-in custom fields feature like some platforms (e.g., WooCommerce’s Custom Fields or Magento’s Custom Attributes). Instead, Shopify relies on Metafields to store extra information.

Can Cart2Cart Migrate Custom Fields to Shopify?

Yes, Cart2Cart can migrate standard and certain custom fields during your shopping cart migration to Shopify. However, it's important to understand Shopify's approach to custom data. Unlike platforms like WooCommerce or Magento, Shopify doesn't offer native custom fields in the same way. Instead, it utilizes Metafields to store additional data associated with products, customers, orders, and other entities.

Therefore, when performing a data migration to Shopify, Cart2Cart will attempt to map your existing custom fields to the appropriate Metafields within Shopify. The success of this mapping depends on the nature of your custom fields and the structure of your source store. We support migration from various platforms, including WooCommerce and Magento.

Ensuring Accurate Custom Field Migration to Shopify

For crucial business data contained within custom fields, consider using Cart2Cart’s Assisted Migration Service. Our expert specialists will carefully analyze your data and ensure it's mapped correctly to Shopify’s available Metafield structures. This minimizes the risk of data loss or corruption during the data migration process.

To better understand how your specific custom fields will be handled during the data migration, we recommend running a free demo migration. This will allow you to preview the results and identify any potential issues before migrating your entire store.
