EKM to Shopify Migration Switch from EKM to Shopify
with Zero Hassle
I'm Tony Cooper, based in Telford, and I've migrated stores from EKM to Shopify firsthand — including a 24,000-customer store with five months of complexity. I handle everything: products, customers, orders, SEO — while you focus on running your business. No technical knowledge required.
Why Businesses Are Leaving EKM for Shopify
While EKM has served many UK businesses well, Shopify offers superior features, flexibility, and growth potential for modern e-commerce stores.
8,000+ Apps vs Limited Options
Shopify's app store offers thousands of integrations for marketing, inventory, shipping, and more. EKM's limited plugin ecosystem restricts your growth potential.
Mobile-First Design
Over 70% of e-commerce traffic is mobile. Shopify's themes are built mobile-first with superior performance and conversion rates.
Lightning-Fast Load Times
Shopify's global CDN and optimised hosting infrastructure deliver pages in under 1 second. Faster sites = better SEO and higher conversions.
Multi-Currency & International Markets
Sell in 133 currencies across 175 countries with Shopify Markets. Built-in international checkout and localisation features.
The Bottom Line
EKM is fine for basic stores, but if you're serious about growth, Shopify's superior features, performance, and ecosystem will accelerate your success.
Discuss Your MigrationMy Proven Migration Process
I've migrated dozens of stores from EKM to Shopify. Here's my battle-tested 6-step process.
Discovery & Planning
I audit your EKM store, understand your business needs, and create a detailed migration plan with timeline and checklist.
Shopify Setup
Set up your Shopify account, configure payment gateways, install essential apps, and design your new theme to match or improve your brand.
Data Migration
Export and migrate all products, variants, images, categories, customers, and order history from EKM to Shopify with zero data loss.
SEO Preservation
Set up 301 redirects from all EKM URLs to new Shopify URLs, preserve meta data, and ensure Google rankings are maintained.
Testing & QA
Comprehensive testing of checkout, payments, shipping, products, and customer accounts. I fix any issues before launch.
Launch & Support
Switch DNS to Shopify, verify everything works, monitor for 48 hours, and provide training and support documentation.
Typical migration timeline: 2-4 weeks depending on store size and complexity
