Moving to TAU Commerce from another platform
Your store works, but you have outgrown it: it is slow, maintenance is expensive, or there is no one to ask when something stops. Moving doesn't have to be stressful. We move the store, and you keep selling on the old one in the meantime.
How the move works, step by step
A conversation
We look at your current store and agree what is moved, what changes and what else you need.
The look
We set up a theme and adjust it, so the new store resembles the old one or looks the way you want.
Moving the data
We move products, images, categories and attributes from the old store or from the data you send us.
Old URLs
Every address on the old site is mapped to its counterpart on the new one, so you keep your Google rankings and the links customers have saved.
Checks and go-live
We check the new store together, then switch it to your domain.
Training and support
We take you through the admin so you can run the store yourself. After that we are here whenever you need us.
What changes when you move
On most platforms a store is assembled from parts: hosting in one place, software in another, and almost every feature is a separate add-on that someone has to keep updated. While the store is small, that works. As it grows, more time goes into maintenance and less into selling.
With us it is one whole. Software, hosting and maintenance are in the monthly price, and the improvements we add come at no extra cost. If you need something special, we build it for you.
Stores come to us from WooCommerce, having outgrown plugins and maintenance, and from other hosted platforms where support is far away. Either way you get the same thing: one platform and people you can reach.
How long it takes and what to prepare
It depends on the size of the store and on how quickly we receive the material. A store that is moved without major changes is usually ready within a few working days.
- Access to the old store, or an export of its data
- The domain the store will run on
- A card-payment agreement with your bank, if you don't have one yet
