For Shopify & ecommerce agencies
The migration data layer your agency does not need to staff.
You keep the client relationship, migration strategy, storefront, integrations and launch. Aldervick handles the product-data production layer behind the scenes: source audit, mapping, transformation, exception handling, Shopify-ready files, reconciliation and QA.
Scope boundary
Keep the strategic work. Hand off the production layer.
Your agency owns
Client-facing migration delivery
- Client relationship and commercial scope
- Migration strategy and target architecture
- Theme / storefront build
- Apps, integrations and custom development
- Customer and order migration
- Live-store administration, cutover and launch
- Final acceptance and client communication
Aldervick owns
Product-data production
- Source-data audit and structural preflight
- Field, option and metafield mapping against defined targets
- Safe transformation and normalisation
- SKU / barcode / variant integrity checks
- Image-reference reconciliation where technically feasible
- Exception log and unresolved-item handoff
- Shopify-ready output files and reconciliation QA
Technical evidence
Tested as a data workflow before being sold as one.
These are internal validation results, not customer claims.
Process
A bounded handoff, not a vague subcontracting arrangement.
Preflight
Review representative files, source structure, target requirements and obvious unsupported complexity.
Map
Document source-to-target fields, transformations, identifiers and known exceptions.
Transform
Prepare the working dataset without inventing missing product facts or forcing uncertain merges.
Reconcile
Check record counts, core identifiers, variants and agreed preservation points.
Handoff
Return Shopify-ready files, exceptions and QA notes for your agency to continue delivery.
Indicative pricing
Enough information to qualify the opportunity before a long conversation.
Preflight
Migration Data Preflight
Representative-file review, structural risk check and scope recommendation. Credited against a larger accepted workstream.
Typical
Production workstream
Straightforward to standard bounded catalogue preparation and QA within the supported V1 envelope.
Complex
Higher-complexity work
Multiple sources, more extensive transformation, exception handling or larger reconciliation burden. Quoted after preflight.
These are validation-stage project bands, not a promise to accept every file structure. Final price depends on source condition, transformation complexity, number of authoritative sources and QA burden rather than SKU count alone.
Not included
Deliberately outside the V1 service.
- Customer, order or other private personal-data migration
- Theme or storefront development
- ERP / PIM / CRM integrations or API engineering
- Live cutover, launch ownership or live-store administration
- End-client calls, outreach or account management by default
- Ongoing feed management or permanent catalogue ownership
- Unsupported complex product structures accepted without review
Have a migration where the data work is eating delivery capacity?
Send a concise description of the source platform, catalogue scale and target requirements. If the project appears suitable, representative files are requested separately through an agreed transfer route. The first step is a bounded preflight, not a sales presentation.
