Shopify Payments deactivated. Your store doesn’t have to die with it.
A Shopify Payments deactivation email is blunt: payouts stop, checkout keeps running on borrowed time, and support points you at the ToS. It usually isn't personal — your product category (supplements, CBD-adjacent, subscriptions with trials, dropshipping) tripped an automated risk review. The store, the brand and the customer base are still perfectly good. What needs to change is the payment setup underneath them.
Sound familiar?
- Shopify Payments deactivated or "no longer supported for your business type"
- Payouts paused while orders keep arriving
- Told to find a third-party payment provider, but your current store’s setup fights you
- Every day of limbo costs revenue and ad spend
How a migration solves it
Many merchants in this position start a fresh store configured from day one around a third-party or high-risk gateway (Authorize.net, NMI, and vertical-specific processors all run fine on Shopify). The terrifying part is the move itself — products, variants, metafields, customer accounts with marketing consents, order history, blogs, redirects, theme. That's the part we automate completely: everything migrates, your current store keeps selling until the moment you switch, and the verification report proves record-for-record parity before any DNS changes.
- Products, variants, images, SKUs, cost
- Customers, addresses, marketing consents
- Full order history + tracking numbers
- Collections — smart rules & manual
- Blogs, pages, navigation menus
- 301 redirects & SEO meta fields
- Metafields, metaobjects, files
- Discounts, gift cards, reviews
- Markets, currencies, translations
- Your live theme, scanned & pushed
How the migration runs
- Book & pay — fixed price, secure Stripe checkout. The order form unlocks immediately after payment.
- Submit your stores — domains and details in the order form; then provide revocable API tokens in your customer area (we never ask for your Shopify password).
- We migrate everything — your live store keeps selling throughout; it is only ever read from.
- Verified twice — the entire migration re-runs and must change nothing; you get the count-matched verification report before any cutover.
Frequently asked
Will my live store go down while migrating after shopify payments ban?
No. The migration only reads from your current store — it keeps selling the entire time. Everything is written to the new store, and traffic moves only when you approve the verification report.
What data moves in a shopify payments ban migration?
Everything: products with variants, SKUs and images, customers with addresses and marketing consents, full order history with tracking numbers, collections, blogs, pages, menus, 301 redirects, metafields, discounts, gift cards, reviews, markets, translations and your live theme.
How long does a Shopify to Shopify migration take?
Most stores complete in 2–5 business days including the second-pass verification, depending on your package. Very large stores are scheduled after we see your store's counts — before anything runs.
How much does it cost?
Fixed one-time packages from $247 (Standard DIY) to $797 (Enterprise) — no per-record metering. The migration order form unlocks immediately after checkout.
What would moving your Shopify store cost?
Instant quote. Fixed price — never per-record. Rough numbers are fine.
