Migrate from Shopify to Vareons
A practical migration guide tied to verified Vareons capabilities. It does not claim an automatic Shopify importer unless that is documented as a separate claim.
Migration usually means rebuilding the catalog and payment/shipping settings on Vareons, then connecting the hosted store. Review the table and the Paymob, COD, and pricing answers before you execute.
What typically transfers
What practically transfers is your business data: product names, prices, images, and customer records you export from Shopify. You then re-enter or upload them into the Vareons store. Documented local payment integrations (such as Paymob and COD) are enabled from the Vareons dashboard with your own credentials.
What does not transfer
Shopify themes, App Store apps, and app settings do not carry over as-is. The current facts registry does not claim an automatic Shopify product migrator. Shopify API keys and webhooks do not transfer; you replace them with Vareons gateway settings.
Caveats
Plan a short overlap window: pause new orders on Shopify after exporting inventory, and finish payment and shipping tests on Vareons before switching the domain or traffic. Any one-click migration promise outside the facts registry should be ignored here.
Practical steps
- Export catalog and data from Shopify
Export products, customers, and historical orders using Shopify’s export tools. Keep CSV or reference files before you wind down the old store.
- Create the store and products on Vareons
Vareons includes a hosted online store and website editor (per the facts registry). Recreate products, inventory, and prices in the dashboard without assuming an automatic importer.
- Enable local payment gateways
From payment gateway settings, enable what you need such as Paymob and COD and enter credentials. Review the related answer pages for each gateway before launch.
- Connect shipping and pixels if needed
If you use Bosta or Meta Pixel, configure them from the Vareons dashboard per the verified answers. Test a trial order from checkout through shipping status.
- Switch traffic after testing
After a successful trial order, update links, campaigns, and domain gradually. Keep Shopify read-only until operations are stable on Vareons.

Frequently Asked Questions
What data moves from Shopify to Vareons?
The data that moves is what you export yourself from Shopify, such as product names, images, prices, customer records, and historical orders kept as reference files, which you then re-enter or upload into the hosted Vareons store, while payment gateways and shipping carriers are configured fresh inside the Vareons dashboard with your own credentials and no automatic settings transfer.
Does my store go offline during the move from Shopify?
There is no need to stop selling immediately, because the practical plan keeps the Shopify store accepting orders while you build the Vareons store, configure Paymob, COD, and Bosta, and run a full trial order, then you pause new orders on the old store gradually and move links and the domain only after payment and shipping prove stable on the new platform.
What happens to the domain, links, and campaigns when migrating?
Links, campaigns, and the domain stay on the old setup during the build and testing phase, and after a successful trial order on Vareons you update links and campaigns gradually and connect the domain to the new hosted store, while keeping the Shopify store read-only as a reference until daily operations are fully stable.
How do I check the Vareons subscription cost before deciding?
The cost follows the listed monthly EGP price tied to the product plan in the facts registry, so review the price row in the capability table and the related subscription answer before deciding, and do not rely on unconfirmed competitor price cells because the table shows only what is verified for Vareons.
What is the order of steps when moving from Shopify to Vareons?
The order starts with exporting the catalog and data from Shopify and keeping reference copies, then creating products and inventory in the hosted Vareons store, then enabling local payment gateways such as Paymob and COD, then configuring shipping, Bosta, and Meta Pixel, and finally switching traffic gradually after a full trial order succeeds.
