Migration
Move your store to Mervio in one afternoon
Bring products with variants, photos, stock, categories and SEO fields from a Shopify or WooCommerce export, an Excel, CSV or XML file. Customers, order history, gift cards and old URLs come along too. Our advice is free, and if you prefer, we do the move for you.
Where you can move from
Shopify
Products → Export → “CSV for Excel”. Mervio recognises the file by itself: variants, photos, SEO titles, stock, cost price, and it can create collections from “Type”.
WooCommerce
Products → Export. Mervio recognises variations and their attributes, sale prices, stock, weight, category paths, attributes and Yoast or Rank Math SEO.
XML from Lithuanian platforms
If your current platform exports products as XML, upload the file as is: Mervio recognises it with variants, the category tree, brands, attributes and translations.
PrestaShop, OpenCart and others
Export products to CSV and map the columns in the preview. Mervio recognises Lithuanian and English headers by itself.
Excel or the Mervio template
Any spreadsheet with a name and a price will do. Even simpler: fill in the Mervio template, which already has sample products with variants.
How the import works
-
1
Upload the file
Excel, CSV or XML up to 20 MB. Comma, semicolon or tab, UTF-8 or Excel’s Lithuanian encoding – it does not matter.
-
2
Check the columns
Mervio suggests which column is which. The preview shows the product count and the first products before anything is created.
-
3
Run it
Choose whether new products start as drafts and whether to update existing ones. You watch the progress live.
-
4
Review the notes
Faulty rows are skipped and described with their row number, all other products are imported.
What moves
- Products with up to 3 options and 250 variants
- Prices (with VAT), sale price, cost price, SKU, barcodes, weight
- Stock, if it is in the file
- Photos – Mervio downloads and stores them itself
- Brands, tags and the category tree (“A > B > C”) with the menu
- Attributes for filters and translations into other languages
- SEO titles and descriptions, product URLs
- 301 redirects: patterns for WooCommerce and Shopify URLs or your own CSV / Excel list
- Customers, with an invitation to set a password
- Order history as an archive with the original numbers, visible in buyer accounts
- Gift cards with their old codes and balances (Grow and Pro)
- Blog posts and pages from WordPress, Shopify or Excel, with images and 301 redirects
What does not move
- Passwords – they cannot be moved, so customers get an invitation to set a new one
- Old invoices – imported orders stay an archive, the documents stay in your old system and accounts
- Theme design – you build it in the Mervio theme editor
Your Google rankings stay
Mervio URLs /products/… and /collections/… match Shopify’s, so links do not break when you move from Shopify. From WooCommerce and other platforms, redirect old URLs with ready-made patterns (e.g. /product/* → /products/*) or an “old, new” list from CSV or Excel, and Google moves the ranking to the new pages.
Example
Begalvis.lt: from Shopify to Mervio
Took: Two days. A new design, 99 articles and hundreds of redirects from old URLs, and no more transaction fees.
Migration FAQ
How long does an import take?
A few thousand products are imported in a few minutes. Photos are downloaded in the background, and until they are the store shows them from the old address.
Can I import more than once?
Yes. Products are matched by URL: with “Update existing” switched on you update prices, stock and variants without creating duplicates.
Do prices have to include VAT?
Yes, Mervio stores prices with VAT, as the buyer sees them. “12,50”, “12.50” and “1 234,50 €” are all understood.
What about my newsletter list?
Newsletter contacts usually live in Omnisend or another tool. Mervio connects to Omnisend, so there is no list to move.
Can I keep my old reviews?
Yes, on the Grow and Pro plans. Import reviews from a CSV or Excel file, or straight from a Judge.me or Loox export: stars, dates, customer photos and your replies are kept.
Can I move customers and past orders?
Yes, on every plan. Import customers from CSV or Excel and invite them to set a password with one click. Order history from a Shopify export or the Mervio template arrives as an archive with the original numbers: buyers see it in their account, while payments, stock and e-mails stay untouched.
Does it cost extra?
Import is included in every plan, so moving the store yourself costs nothing. Advice and the estimate are free, and if we do the move for you, the price depends on the amount of data.
