Francesco Guiducci · Freelance Shopify specialist

# Your online store is already established.  
*Is Shopify your next step?*

I’m Francesco Guiducci, a freelance Shopify specialist and Shopify Select Partner. I work independently and handle your migration from WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Wix, Magento or another platform myself: from reviewing data, URLs and integrations to building your new store.

## Shopify Select Partner.

I’m a Shopify Select Partner. I remain your single point of contact: you speak directly to me, and I handle the analysis, technical decisions and implementation myself.

Your starting point

## Your store should keep you busy.  
*Not worried every day.*

Plugins, updates and technical fixes that keep piling up. Or day-to-day tasks that have become more complicated than they need to be. If that sounds familiar, it may be time to reconsider your platform.

What will happen to your products, customers, URLs and existing features? I start by taking stock of your store, so I can answer for your particular project.

A foundation you can maintain

## Migration changes your platform.  
*The project should support your work.*

Catalogue

Data & URLs

Shopify**↗**

1. ### Day-to-day management

   I organise the catalogue, collections and content so they make sense to the person managing them.
2. ### Shopping experience

   I build navigation, product pages and shopping journeys around your products and customers.
3. ### Maintenance and integrations

   I choose themes, apps and connections around real needs, checking compatibility and ongoing costs.

The migration, step by step

## What matters  
*needs checking.*

01

### Data and catalogue

Products, variants, images and customers. I compare data structure and quality, then define the transfer, exceptions and checks.

02

### URLs and visibility

I map destinations and redirects, important pages and technical structure, taking the existing site into account.

03

### Features and operations

I check payments, shipping, management systems and apps. I assess historical orders and specialised data with you as part of the project scope.

04

### Storefront and launch

I rebuild the store, test the main journeys and plan the launch and follow-up checks.

One direct point of contact

## You speak to me.  
*I do the work.*

I’m Francesco Guiducci, founder of IFG Digital. I work independently as a freelancer: you speak directly to me, and I handle the analysis, technical decisions, development and launch myself.

I explain what I can transfer, what needs rebuilding and which constraints I consider before the move. I start with your store, the features you use and what you want to preserve.

Real projects

## Four projects.  
*Different paths to Shopify.*

WooCommerce → Shopify

### Gianfranco Pini

I handled this footwear brand’s move to Shopify, comparing products and variants and checking collections and tags. I linked colour and size options to standard Shopify data, checking that the affected identifiers, SKUs and combinations were preserved.

![Vintage Loop Shopify store](https://ifgdigital.com/cases/vintage-loop-hero.webp)

WooCommerce → Shopify

### Vintage Loop

I built the Shopify store and migrated the WooCommerce catalogue for this pre-owned luxury bag boutique, taking care of product-image associations and photograph proportions in the theme.

![Music Delivery Shopify store](https://ifgdigital.com/cases/music-delivery-hero.webp)

PrestaShop → Shopify

### Music Delivery

For this audio, video, lighting and special effects store, I handled a complex catalogue transfer from PrestaShop and rebuilt its commercial features on Shopify.

From a WordPress showcase site to Shopify eCommerce

### Devoti Sailing

I built the Shopify store starting from a WordPress showcase site where orders were handled through forms. I then migrated the old site’s content, unifying its online presence. I continue to support the brand as a Technical Partner for maintenance and ongoing development.

Getting started

## First, the context.  
*Then, the plan.*

1. ### Send me your website

   Share your store URL and the essential details.
2. ### I review your request

   I review the context and suggest the next step.
3. ### We define the project

   I agree the analysis, scope and proposal with you. The initial request does not include a technical audit or an immediate full quotation.

Before you make the move

## Let’s clarify  
*the practical questions.*

**Which platforms can I migrate from?**

WooCommerce/WordPress, PrestaShop, Wix, Magento and other platforms. I first check whether Shopify fits your processes, markets and required features.

**What data can be transferred?**

I analyse products, variants, images and customers before transfer. For historical orders, passwords, subscriptions and custom data, I check what the source platform and available tools support.

**Can I keep my domain?**

Generally, yes. I check access, DNS, email and connected services, then plan the switch before making changes to the domain.

**What happens to SEO and existing URLs?**

I inventory important URLs and map them to new pages and the necessary redirects. I check canonicals, the sitemap and key destinations. No migration can guarantee unchanged rankings or traffic.

**How long does migration take?**

It depends on the catalogue, data quality, features to rebuild, integrations and available content. I define the timeline and sequence after clarifying the scope.

**How much does migration cost?**

The cost depends on data transfer, store rebuilding, languages, integrations and checks. Your initial request helps me understand the project; I agree the analysis, scope and proposal with you as the next step.

**Will my management system, shipping tools and other integrations work?**

I check existing integrations and their compatibility with Shopify. If a different solution is needed, I assess it before the move and explain its constraints and costs.

**Can my store keep trading during the work?**

I prepare the new storefront separately. I plan the switch and any final data updates around orders, inventory and daily operations. I do not promise an absolute absence of interruptions.

Your store, your next step

## Tell me  
*where you’re starting from.*

Your name, email and website are enough to start the conversation. If you have identified an issue or a feature you cannot do without, include it in your request.
