Getting started

Three things stand between you and a finished migration:

1. An account on the Graftport platform, scoped to your tenant.
2. A source platform connection — credentials for the merchant’s current store (Magento or Shopify-as-source).
3. A destination connection — an Admin API token for the Shopify store you’re migrating into.

Once those are in place you create a migration, pick which resources to move (products, customers, orders, …), accept or fork the default mappings, and start a run.

Read these in order

1. Your account — sign-in, tenants, and what you can see vs what teammates see.
2. Your first migration — a guided walk through the New Migration wizard.
3. Concepts — the model behind the screens. Worth the fifteen minutes before your second migration.

A word on time

A typical first migration takes:

• 5–15 minutes to create and configure if mappings don’t need customization.
• An hour to a day if you’re forking mapping templates for merchant-specific quirks.
• Anywhere from minutes to hours to run, depending on catalog size and Shopify’s rate limits.

Start with an extract-only run on a real source. It’s the fastest way to confirm credentials, see real data shapes, and decide which mappings need overrides — without writing anything to Shopify.
