What it does

Shopify Migration Deep Dive is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Migrate e-commerce data to Shopify using bulk operations, product imports, and the strangler fig pattern for gradual platform migration. Use when replatforming to Shopify, importing product catalogs, or migrating customer and order data from another e-commerce system. Trigger with phrases like "migrate to shopify", "shopify data migration", "import products shopify", "shopify replatform", "move to shopify".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/bulk-operations-import.md`, `references/inventory-and-redirects.md` and `references/post-migration-validation.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Sales & Support, covering E-commerce operations. It works with Shopify. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Replatforming to Shopify
  • Importing product catalogs
  • Migrating customer and order data from another e-commerce system
  • With phrases like migrate to shopify

Example prompts

  • “migrate to shopify”
  • “shopify data migration”
  • “import products shopify”
  • “/shopify-migration-deep-dive”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(npm:*), Bash(node:*), Bash(curl:*)

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Assess Migration Scope
  2. Bulk Product Import with productSet
  3. Bulk Operations for Large Imports
  4. Set Inventory Levels & URL Redirects
  5. Post-Migration Validation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(npm:*)
    • Bash(node:*)
    • Bash(curl:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • jq

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • shopify.dev

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Shopify Migration Deep Dive loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 339 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Shopify Migration Deep Dive

Overview

Migrate product catalogs, customers, and orders to Shopify using the GraphQL Admin API bulk mutations, CSV imports, and incremental migration patterns.

Prerequisites

  • Source platform data exported (CSV, JSON, or API access)
  • Shopify store with appropriate access scopes
  • Scopes needed: write_products, write_customers, write_orders, write_inventory

Instructions

Step 1: Assess Migration Scope
Data TypeShopify Import MethodComplexity
Products + variantsproductSet mutation (upsert)Low
Product imagesproductCreateMedia mutationLow
CustomersCustomer CSV import or customerCreateMedium
Historical ordersdraftOrderCreate + draftOrderCompleteHigh
Inventory levelsinventorySetQuantities mutationMedium
CollectionscollectionCreate mutationLow
Redirects (URLs)urlRedirectCreate mutationLow
MetafieldsIncluded in product/customer mutationsMedium
Step 2: Bulk Product Import with productSet

productSet is idempotent — it creates or updates based on handle, making it perfect for migrations. Handles variants, metafields, and all product attributes in a single mutation.

See Product Set Migration for the complete migration function.

Step 3: Bulk Operations for Large Imports

For importing thousands of products, use Shopify's staged uploads combined with bulk mutation to avoid rate limit issues.

See Bulk Operations Import for the staged upload and bulk mutation workflow.

Step 4: Set Inventory Levels & URL Redirects

After products are created, set inventory quantities at each location and create URL redirects to preserve SEO from the old platform.

See Inventory and Redirects for both mutation implementations.

Step 5: Post-Migration Validation

Automated validation that compares expected source counts against actual Shopify counts for products, customers, and other data types.

See Post-Migration Validation for the validation script.

Output

  • Products migrated with variants, images, and metafields
  • Inventory levels set at correct locations
  • URL redirects preserving SEO
  • Migration validated against source counts

Error Handling

IssueCauseSolution
TAKEN on product handleDuplicate handleAppend suffix or use productSet for upsert
Rate limited during importToo many sequential callsUse bulk operations or add delays
Image upload failsURL not publicly accessibleUse staged uploads for private images
Inventory not updatingWrong inventoryItemIdQuery variant's inventoryItem.id first

Examples

Quick Migration Status
bash
# Count products in source vs Shopify
echo "Shopify product count:"
curl -sf -H "X-Shopify-Access-Token: $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "{ productsCount { count } }"}' \
  "https://$STORE/admin/api/${SHOPIFY_API_VERSION:-2025-04}/graphql.json" \
  | jq '.data.productsCount.count'
