Checklist

What to prepare

Work through each area before switching. Nothing is irreversible — you can test your ModuSell store fully before going live.

Products
Export your catalog as CSV. Variants, SKUs, and prices move over cleanly.
  • Export product CSV
  • Confirm variant formatting
  • Download product images
  • Review titles and descriptions
Customers
Names and emails transfer. Passwords don't — plan a reset prompt for first login.
  • Export customer list as CSV
  • Note marketing consent flags
  • Draft a password reset email
  • Tag or segment key groups
Orders
Historical orders are for records. Import what matters, archive the rest.
  • Export order history
  • Resolve open or unfulfilled orders
  • Decide what history to import
  • Handle any open refunds
Collections & categories
Recreate your category structure before importing products.
  • List all existing collections
  • Map products to each collection
  • Review category URLs for SEO
  • Plan navigation menu structure
Blog content
Export posts and re-publish on ModuSell. Set up redirects for existing URLs.
  • Export posts as HTML or text
  • Download all embedded images
  • Note URLs for 301 redirects
  • Review tags and categories
Domain connection
Keep your existing domain — just update where it points when you're ready.
  • Locate your domain registrar login
  • Note current DNS settings
  • Plan switch timing for low downtime
  • Set up 301 redirects in ModuSell
Payment providers
Reconnect your existing Stripe or PayPal account inside ModuSell settings.
  • Confirm Stripe or PayPal login
  • Check active subscription billing
  • Review payout schedule
  • Re-enable payment methods
Shipping settings
Zones and rates are store-specific — bring your current rules and recreate.
  • List all shipping zones
  • Note rates and free shipping thresholds
  • Check carrier integrations
  • Recreate in ModuSell shipping settings
Tax configuration
Tax rules are region-specific. Review what applies to your store before launch.
  • List current tax regions
  • Check digital vs. physical rules
  • Note tax-exempt products
  • Verify VAT / GST numbers
Store branding & assets
Collect visual assets so your new store looks right from day one.
  • Collect logo files (SVG or PNG)
  • Note brand hex codes and fonts
  • Download banner and hero images
  • Gather icon and favicon assets
Migration steps

Four steps to a clean switch

Follow these in order. Each step builds on the last.

Step 01
Export your existing store data
Download CSVs for products, customers, and orders. Save images and blog content separately.
Step 02
Set up your ModuSell store
Choose a template, add branding, configure shipping, taxes, and payments before any import.
Step 03
Import and review content
Import products, customers, and blog posts. Check formatting and images before going live.
Step 04
Connect domain and launch
Update DNS, test checkout end-to-end, and switch over when you're confident everything works.

FAQ

Common questions before switching

Straight answers to what people usually ask before they move.

Will my products transfer?
Yes. Export a product CSV from your current platform and import it into ModuSell. Images need to be downloaded and uploaded separately, but the process is quick.
Can I keep my existing domain?
Yes. Your domain stays with your registrar. When you're ready, update the DNS records to point to ModuSell. No domain transfer needed.
What happens to my SEO?
Your domain authority stays with you. Set up 301 redirects in ModuSell for any changed URLs and search engines will carry over your existing rankings cleanly.
Can I migrate customer accounts?
Names, emails, and addresses transfer via CSV. Passwords can't move for security reasons — customers receive a reset prompt on their first login to your new store.
Do I lose my existing store?
No. Your current store stays completely live until you change your DNS. You can build and review your ModuSell store over days or weeks without any customer disruption.
Can I test before going live?
Yes. ModuSell gives you a staging preview URL. Test products, checkout, pages, and your full storefront before connecting your domain and going public.
