Migrating Ecommerce Platforms? Make Shipping the Easy Part.
Don't let shipping hold up your site launch. ShipperHQ helps you set up or migrate your shipping and checkout logic, so you can replatform without rebuilding it from scratch. No code required. No data lost, ever.
“We expected shipping to be the hardest part of our Shopify migration. We were bracing to rebuild years of custom shipping rules from scratch. Instead, ShipperHQ took the entire thing off our plate. I was almost skeptical, like there’s got to be some hitch…ShipperHQ literally just handled it. It was the easiest part of our entire migration."

FAQs
How do I plan a smooth transition when switching my ecommerce platform?
One of ShipperHQ’s biggest advantages is platform flexibility. When you replatform, your entire ShipperHQ configuration moves with you, no rebuild required. That means your shipping logic stays intact and your investment is protected.
To ensure a smooth transition, notify us as early as possible by completing the Request Migration Assistance form. The sooner we know, the better we can support you.
A dedicated Customer Success Manager will scope your requirements and tailor the migration to your business. We handle everything—transferring all carriers, shipping methods, rules, and settings—quickly and without disruption. With regular check-ins and 24/7 support, we’re with you from planning through post-launch.
What platforms does ShipperHQ work with?
ShipperHQ is optimized for a wide range of eCommerce platforms, including Shopify, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce, Magento, WooCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and Shopware.
With ShipperHQ, you're never locked into a specific platform. While other shipping solutions are built for a particular platform, ShipperHQ has always been platform-agnostic—a flexible solution that adapts seamlessly with you as your business evolves. Take your entire shipping configuration with you anywhere you go, ensuring continuity and consistency no matter which platform you choose. As your needs change and your business grows, ShipperHQ grows with you, giving you the freedom to make the best platform decisions for your business without sacrificing your shipping strategy.
What does ShipperHQ cost?
Our plans range from Standard to Enterprise. It’s available to try for free on a 15-day trial.
Can I set up and test ShipperHQ before my new site goes live?
Yes, and it's the recommended approach. Build and test your full configuration on the new platform while the old site is still running, then cut over at launch. Existing customers are never billed for two accounts at once. New merchants can use a free trial to configure and test through the build.
Is there any downtime during the migration?
No, there is zero downtime. The original account and configuration remain active, and the settings are simply copied to the new account, allowing you to continue your operations without any disruption.
