From Upgates to Shopify, with everything a Czech store needs
We move your catalogue, customers and orders and redirect every old URL. Cash on delivery, pickup points and Heureka feeds work from day one, because we build those apps ourselves.
Selected migrations from similar platforms
Upgates covers the same ground as Shoptet, so the process is similar too. Here are a few stores we moved from Czech and other platforms.
Molecules of Life
Lavender cosmetics that left to sell in Germany. Fully localised for German shoppers.

oobs
Nursing and maternity wear. One store for both oobs.cz and oobs.sk.
Visit the store
JMBonline
Two stores, CZ and SK, with almost 40,000 variants.
Open the case study →Why stores leave Upgates
Upgates is a solid base for the Czech market. The limits show when a store goes abroad or needs something extra.
Selling abroad
One store for several countries, currencies and languages. Shopify Markets sets prices, taxes and domains for each market.
The theme is yours
Your theme is Liquid code in your own repository. Anyone can keep working on it.
Thousands of apps
Whatever you need probably exists already. If it doesn't, we build you a custom app.
A checkout that sells
Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay in one click. Shopify Payments works in Czechia too.
What we move
We take Upgates data through its API and exports and check it product by product.
We move
- Products and variants, codes, EANs, stock and weights
- Full-size photos in the same order
- Categories and filter parameters
- Customers and the full order history, matched to products and customers
- Blog and content pages
- Loyalty points and tiers, into our Charm app
We handle differently
- Customer passwords can't be moved from any platform. On Shopify customers sign in with a code sent by email, so there is nothing to set up.
- Shopify allows at most three variant options per product. Extra parameters go into metafields and filters.
- Shopify structures product URLs differently from Upgates. We redirect every old URL with a 301: most matched automatically, the unclear ones checked by us.
What replaces your Upgates add-ons
What you have switched on in Upgates today, and what handles it on Shopify. Often with our app, but just as well with another one you prefer.
Pickup points with a map in the cart
Shoppers choose before checkout, on every plan.
Our app GlobeCash on delivery and QR payment
Fee, rounding and QR code without theme changes.
Our app PayflowFeeds for comparison sites and marketplaces
Heureka, Zboží, Glami and Google, not a day offline.
Our app FeedflockPoints, tiers and rewards
Balances move over 1:1, birthday and name-day bonuses come after.
Our app CharmSeveral markets from one store
Languages, currencies and domains with Shopify Markets.
Documents right in Shopify
Invoices, deposits and credit notes, or a bridge to Pohoda.
No add-ons to babysit through updates
Shopify updates itself, and we look after our apps.
Why move with us
You don't need anyone else for pickup points, cash on delivery or comparison-site feeds. We build these solutions ourselves, so they work from launch day.
Pickup points in the cart, with a map
Packeta, Balíkovna, PPL or DPD. Shoppers pick on a map right in the cart, not after the order is placed. Our solution runs in 1,000+ stores and is rated 5.0 from 144 reviews.
Comparison sites and marketplaces
Selling through Heureka, Zboží, Glami, Favi or Google? We move the feeds with our Feedflock so they don't drop out for a single day. We're a certified Heureka partner and an official FAVI partner.
Cash on delivery and QR payments
A cash on delivery fee, rounding to whole crowns and a QR payment on the thank-you page.
Your processes, rebuilt better
Custom tweaks, warehouse connections or automations on your old store? We rebuild them on Shopify, often better. From company details in the cart to fulfilment.
Invoicing and accounting
Our own solution issues invoices, deposit invoices and credit notes right in Shopify, with VAT including OSS and exports for your accountant. Want to keep your current system? We build a bridge to it, Pohoda for example.
Experience with expansion
We've built stores for Germany, the UK and the US, and sites in 14 languages. We know what a new market needs: translations, currencies, prices, shipping and payments.
Our apps free for the first year
Migrate with us and all our apps are free for the first year, then at a partner discount on prices that are already among the best value on the market. None of it is required. If another app suits you better, we'll set that up. Ours are often the best choice, though: development, support and maintenance are fully in our own hands.
One partner for everything
Shipping, payments, feeds and loyalty from one team. No chasing five different vendors.
Free 24/7 support
A label won't print or an order won't ship? We fix it as part of app support, not at another developer's hourly rate.
No setup fees
We set the apps up for your store during the migration, free of charge. They work from day one.
Ready for AI agents
ChatGPT and AI Mode in Google already find and recommend products for shoppers. Shopify opens your catalogue to them on its own. A migration is the best moment to make your data clean enough for an agent to find and recommend you.
Complete product data
EAN, brand, variants and availability on every product. That is what an agent compares and chooses by.
Descriptions as data, not just text
We move parameters and properties into metafields instead of one block of HTML. An agent reads them without guessing.
Structured data and feeds
Price, availability, shipping and returns in schema.org on every product, and feeds for Google Merchant Center.
How the migration works
Six steps, wherever you're moving from.
Audit
We go through the store, add-ons, integrations and traffic. You get the scope, a date and a price.
Data
We convert the old platform's export or API data and check it product by product.
Theme
A ready-made theme fitted to your brand, or a custom one.
Integrations
Shipping, payments, feeds, accounting, stock and ERP. Built alongside the theme.
Testing and redirects
A map of every old URL, test orders and a check in Search Console.
Launch
We switch the domain with no downtime. After launch we watch rankings and errors and keep improving the store.
