SellerDeck to Shopify Migration
Leave the Desktop Behind. Move Online Properly.
SellerDeck (formerly Actinic) was one of the UK's pioneering eCommerce solutions — desktop software that generated HTML for your store. In 2025, its desktop-based model, dated technology, and dwindling community support make it one of the most urgent migration cases we see. We rescue SellerDeck stores and migrate them to Shopify, completely and safely.
Shopify App DeveloperShopify App DeveloperSellerDeck's desktop application model was innovative in the late 1990s — but uploading catalogue files to generate static HTML is not how modern eCommerce works. Security patches have slowed, the community has shrunk, and payment gateway support is increasingly limited. Migration is not a choice; for most SellerDeck merchants, it's a necessity.
Despite SellerDeck's age and desktop-based model, we extract your product catalogue, category structure, customer records, and order history from SellerDeck's database and transfer everything to Shopify.
Shopify's cloud-native infrastructure, automatic security updates, and native payment gateway integrations replace SellerDeck's decade-old desktop model with a platform built for modern commerce.
