Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Shopify Migration
Move from Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC, formerly Demandware) to Shopify Plus without treating a business transformation like a storefront reskin. SDG owns the architecture, data, integrations, SEO, testing, and cutover as one accountable program.

A commercial migration program, not just a technical guide
This is the service path for teams ready to evaluate or execute an SFCC exit. We start by separating genuine business requirements from years of platform workarounds, then define the Shopify operating model, target architecture, migration workstreams, owners, evidence, and decision gates.
The result is a delivery plan executives can fund and engineering, merchandising, operations, finance, and SEO teams can actually run. If you are still researching the mechanics, use our SFCC-to-Shopify enterprise guide; when the decision becomes a program, this is where SDG leads it.
What moves from SFCC to Shopify
SFCC catalogs, price books, promotions, customer profiles, order history, content slots, locale structures, and custom cartridges do not map one-to-one to Shopify. We inventory what exists, define the destination model, transform the data, and reconcile every controlled import before production cutover.
- Catalogs, variants, price books, promotions, media, search attributes, and merchandising relationships.
- Customers, addresses, consent state, order history, loyalty, subscriptions, gift cards, and service workflows.
- SFRA experiences, Page Designer content, localization, markets, accounts, checkout logic, and analytics.
- ERP, OMS, PIM, CRM, tax, payments, fraud, fulfillment, search, reviews, and marketing integrations.
SEO and market continuity are launch requirements
Every indexable SFCC URL is classified and mapped to a deliberate Shopify destination. Redirects, canonicals, hreflang, internal links, structured data, robots rules, and XML sitemaps are rehearsed before launch and monitored in Search Console after cutover.
Multi-site and multi-locale programs receive market-by-market validation. We do not call a migration successful because the homepage renders; traffic, orders, inventory, analytics, and financial flows must survive the switch.
Proof at enterprise scale
SDG has moved complex retail organizations from SFCC to Shopify, including Indigo, the MoMA Design Store, and Revlon. That experience covers large catalogs, bilingual and multi-region storefronts, physical retail dependencies, sophisticated enterprise systems, and cutovers where downtime was not an acceptable option.
Start with a focused enterprise discovery and migration assessment, or bring us into an active program to establish the architecture, plan, and launch controls.
