Inventory what moves

Catalog products, variants, customers, historical orders, content, redirects, subscriptions, apps, analytics and domain/DNS requirements.

Protect discoverability

Map old URLs to new destinations, preserve important content, use redirects where appropriate and verify canonicals, sitemap and crawlability after launch.

Test business-critical workflows

Payments, taxes, shipping, inventory, notifications and integrations should be tested before switching the production domain.
