Merge Stores into One Shopify
You have two or more stores (Shopify or mixed platforms) and want one unified Shopify store: one catalog, one checkout, one admin.
Who This Is For
Brands running multiple storefronts (e.g. region or brand splits), businesses that acquired another store, or anyone consolidating Shopify Plus + standard or legacy + new into a single account.
Challenges
- Duplicate products and SKUs across stores
- Unifying customer accounts and order history
- Redirects from old store URLs to the chosen canonical URLs
- Deciding which store's data is source of truth
Approach
Pick one store as the primary (usually the largest or the new brand). Migrate the others into it: products (dedupe by SKU), customers (merge by email where possible), and orders for history. Use automated migration for bulk data, then 301 redirects from retired domains to the unified store.
