How to migrate a Shopify store to another account within the same platform?

Hi, I want to transfer my entire store to a new account, all within Shopify. Is it possible to do this?

You can export all data of your store and then import to new one.

Hi, @EliChala.

Thanks for posting to the Shopify Community!

I understand you're looking to transfer over one Shopify store to another Shopify store. This is definitely possible, and I'll share some tips and resources below to show you how.

As @Dan-From-Ryviu has mentioned you can export and import your data to your new Shopify store. This can be done using a CSV file to back up your store information and import it into the new store.

The following information can be backed up onto a CSV file:

• Products
• Customers
• Orders
• Gift Card/Discount codes
• Financial data
• Your store's online theme (by downloading the theme file.)

If you'd like to duplicate the store, you can follow the steps in our Help Center resource to ensure you're following the correct steps to have the same information on the new store. I would also check out our Store Migration resource to help you with the transfer process.

Apart from using a CSV file, you can explore the option of using a third-party app from the Shopify App Store to help you migrate data.

Some third-party apps to look into are:

• Cart2Cart Store Migration App
• Matrixify
• LitExtension Store Migration

Lastly, you can transfer a Shopify-managed domain from one store to a different Shopify store from your Settings > Domains page of your admin. When you transfer your domain, your email forwarding addresses, DNS records, and subdomains transfer along with the domain. You can find more information in our resource: Transferring Shopify-managed domains to another store or domain provider.

Yes, you can migrate your Shopify store to another account, but it’s a manual process. Here’s how:

1. Export data (products, customers, orders) via CSV from the old store.
2. Download your theme from Online Store > Themes > Actions > Download.
3. Create a new Shopify store and import data via CSV.
4. Upload your theme and reinstall any apps.
5. Update domain settings if using a custom domain.

There’s no one-click transfer, but this method works well for most stores.
