Shopify → Shift4Shop Migration Questions
Is Shift4Shop the same as 3dcart?
Yes, 3dcart rebranded to Shift4Shop in 2020. The import/export format is the same for both platforms.
Can I migrate my store for free?
Our converter transforms your Shopify product export into Shift4Shop-ready CSV format at a fraction of the cost of paid migration services. Export your Shopify products, convert with our tool, and import to Shift4Shop - no expensive subscription required.
Will I lose customer data during migration?
With proper planning and automated migration tools, data loss is unlikely. Always backup your store before migrating to be safe.
Why Use Shopify → Shift4Shop Migration?
Weight Conversion
Converts Shopify grams to Shift4Shop pounds (÷ 453.592).
Image Distribution
Distributes multiple Image Src rows across image1/2/3/4 columns.
Field Mapping
Maps Shopify fields to Shift4Shop import column names automatically.
Price Mapping
Maps Compare At Price to retail and Variant Price to price correctly.
Status Conversion
Converts Shopify Published to Shift4Shop hide field (inverted logic).
How People Use Shopify → Shift4Shop
We moved to Shift4Shop for their free enterprise plan with Shift4 payment processing. Our Shopify catalog had 750 products with Compare At pricing on about half of them. The converter mapped Compare At to the retail field and set onsale to true automatically. Weight conversion from grams to pounds was accurate to the decimal — our shipping rates worked from day one.
Shift4Shop's image import expects image1, image2, image3, image4 columns but Shopify exports one row per image. Every manual migration I did before involved hours of VLOOKUP formulas to pivot image rows into columns. This converter distributes images across all four columns and aggregates multi-row products into single rows. Cuts my migration prep from four hours to four minutes.
This was my first time leaving Shopify and the CSV format differences were overwhelming. Shopify says Published TRUE, Shift4Shop says hide with inverted logic. Shopify uses grams, Shift4Shop uses pounds. I uploaded my export, selected the weight conversion, and got a Shift4Shop-ready file back. My developer confirmed every field imported correctly on the first attempt.
Why Shopify Products Don't Import Directly to Shift4Shop
Field Name Differences
Shopify uses "Title", "Variant Price", "Variant Grams", "Variant SKU".
Shift4Shop uses "name", "price", "weight", "id".
Without field mapping, Shift4Shop import fails or creates incomplete products.
Weight Unit Conversion
Shopify exports weight in grams (metric).
Shift4Shop uses pounds (imperial).
Direct import creates shipping calculation errors with incorrect weights.
Image Column Structure
Shopify exports multiple rows for products with multiple images.
Shift4Shop expects image1, image2, image3, image4 columns in single row.
Without proper distribution, only first image imports.
What This Tool Does
We transform your Shopify export:
- Rows: Same Handle → one Shift4Shop row
- Fields: Shopify → Shift4Shop names
- Weights: Grams → pounds (÷ 453.592)
- Images → image1/2/3/4 columns
- Prices: Compare At → retail, Variant → price
- Status: TRUE/FALSE → hide (inverted)
Shift4Shop import succeeds with formatted data.
