4 Tips for a Last-Minute Migration to a New E-Commerce Platform

Be sure to compare platforms that offer automatic migration, as some can move over more data than others. Ask what store data can be migrated automatically and what will need to be done by hand, how much it costs and how long it will take.

2. Consider your store's potential for future growth. If you're transitioning your online store to a new platform, chances are you're not a beginner. Therefore, don't choose a beginner's e-commerce platform. There are a number of new platforms for small and midsize merchants that are user friendly and offer enterprise-level customization, among other features. Even in a last-minute transition, you can consider your options for growth and choose a platform that will enable you to expand your business in the long term.
