EKM is a great starting point for UK businesses — but growing retailers quickly hit its ceiling. Shopify's powerful platform, extensive app marketplace, and international selling capabilities give you the tools to scale. We handle your complete EKM migration so you can make the move with confidence.
EKM serves UK small businesses well at the start — but as your catalogue grows, your marketing matures, and your integrations become more complex, the platform's limitations become increasingly apparent.
As a UK-based agency familiar with EKM's platform, we understand its data formats and export capabilities. We know exactly what migrates cleanly and where we need to plan carefully — so your transition to Shopify is smooth from day one.
Shopify gives growing UK businesses access to 8,000+ apps, international selling tools, advanced analytics, and a global developer community — everything you need to scale beyond what EKM can offer.
All EKM products, categories, variants, pricing, stock levels, and product images extracted and restructured for Shopify's collections and product model.
EKM customer accounts, contact details, and address information transferred to Shopify. Customer purchase history linked so nothing is lost from your records.
Historical EKM order data transferred to Shopify — order details, statuses, and customer links all preserved for reporting and customer service.
EKM's built-in integrations reviewed and replaced with Shopify app equivalents. Payment gateways, delivery services, accounting, and marketing tools all reconnected.
EKM URL structures mapped to Shopify with 301 redirects protecting your organic search rankings. Meta titles, descriptions, and Google Business links all updated.
Leave EKM's template constraints behind. Your new Shopify store is designed to reflect your brand properly — fast, mobile-optimised, and built to convert.
A straightforward, well-managed process that gets UK businesses onto Shopify without disrupting trading.
We review your EKM store — products, categories, integrations, and any custom features — to plan your migration accurately and identify any data that needs special handling.
EKM product structures, customer records, and order data all mapped to their Shopify equivalents. Migration documented and agreed before any data is moved.
Your new Shopify store designed and built on staging. Theme, apps, payment gateways, and delivery integrations all configured and tested.
All product, customer, and order data migrated from EKM to Shopify staging and verified with a full audit before go-live approval.
EKM URLs mapped to Shopify with 301 redirects. Meta data transferred and Google Search Console reconfigured to protect your rankings.
