When you cancel your private account after 2 months at $1/month, it will be considered as the same person but a different account. This means that the data from your private account will not be automatically transferred to your new professional account. You will need to export the data from your private account and import it into your new account. This can be done using Shopify’s built-in import/export feature or with a third-party app.
To export your data from your private account, you can go to the Shopify admin dashboard, click on the “Settings” menu, and then select “Export.” From there, you can choose the data that you want to export, such as products, customers, or orders. You can then save the exported data as a CSV file.
To import the data into your new professional account, you can go to the Shopify admin dashboard, click on the “Settings” menu, and then select “Import.” From there, you can select the CSV file that you exported from your private account and choose the data that you want to import. You can then follow the prompts to complete the import process.
Note that some data may not be transferable, such as third-party app settings or order histories. You may need to manually reconfigure these settings or enter the data again in your new account.
