Migrate Shopify Stores to GoHighLevel

This guide explains how to move your Shopify data into GoHighLevel using a clear, repeatable process that you can also document in ClickUp or any internal SOP tool. You will learn how to bring over products, collections, customers, orders, and tracking data so your ecommerce operations run smoothly inside GoHighLevel.

The process uses native integrations and exports from Shopify. Follow each section carefully to prevent duplicates, data loss, or broken product links.

Before You Start: Shopify and GoHighLevel Prerequisites

Prepare both your Shopify store and your GoHighLevel account so the migration can run without interruption.

  • Confirm admin access to your Shopify store.
  • Confirm admin access to your GoHighLevel account (or sub-account).
  • Decide whether you are migrating all products or only specific collections.
  • Schedule the migration during low-traffic hours to reduce order conflicts.

It is also recommended to take a full backup or export from Shopify before any changes are made.

Step 1: Export Products and Collections from Shopify

First, extract all product and collection data from Shopify. This provides the base files that can be imported into GoHighLevel or used to rebuild product structures.

1.1 Export Shopify Products

  1. In Shopify, go to Products > All products.
  2. Click Export.
  3. Select the export scope, such as All products or Selected products.
  4. Choose the CSV format recommended by Shopify for a full export.
  5. Click Export products and download the CSV file from your email or browser.

This CSV contains product titles, descriptions, variants, pricing, and more. Keep it as your master reference when building products in GoHighLevel.

1.2 Export Shopify Collections

  1. In Shopify, go to Products > Collections.
  2. Click to open each collection and capture its name, handle, and product assignments.
  3. If available, use collection export tools or apps to create a CSV of collections and included products.

GoHighLevel does not import Shopify collections automatically, so these details will help you manually re-create collections or logical product groupings later.

Step 2: Import Products into GoHighLevel

Next, rebuild or import your Shopify products into GoHighLevel so they can be used on funnels, websites, and order forms.

2.1 Create Products in GoHighLevel

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel sub-account.
  2. Navigate to Sites (or the ecommerce section available in your workspace).
  3. Open the Products area.
  4. Click Add product or a similar option.
  5. Use your Shopify products CSV as a reference to fill in:
  • Product name and description
  • Price and sale price
  • Variants or options (if supported in your version of GoHighLevel)
  • Images and featured media

Repeat for each product or use any available bulk-import method inside GoHighLevel if your plan and feature set support it.

2.2 Organize Products with GoHighLevel Collections or Categories

After products are created, mirror your Shopify structure by organizing them logically.

  1. Create collections, categories, or tags in GoHighLevel that match your Shopify collections.
  2. Assign each product to the correct grouping.
  3. Document any naming differences between Shopify and GoHighLevel for future reporting.

Maintaining similar naming helps your team transition easily and supports consistent reporting after the migration.

Step 3: Migrate Shopify Customers to GoHighLevel Contacts

Shopify customers become contacts in GoHighLevel. These records are crucial for marketing automations, email campaigns, and segmenting your audience.

3.1 Export Customers from Shopify

  1. In Shopify, go to Customers.
  2. Click Export.
  3. Select All customers or use a filter (for example, only those who accepted marketing).
  4. Choose the CSV format recommended for spreadsheets.
  5. Download the customer CSV file.

This CSV usually includes names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, order counts, and marketing preferences.

3.2 Import Contacts into GoHighLevel

  1. Open your GoHighLevel account and navigate to Contacts.
  2. Click Import.
  3. Upload the Shopify customer CSV file.
  4. Map each Shopify field to the correct GoHighLevel field, such as:
  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Email
  • Phone
  • Address details
  • Tags or notes (if you created them in the CSV)
  1. Run the import and wait for completion.

Use tags to indicate that a contact originated from Shopify, which will help you build segmented campaigns in GoHighLevel later.

Step 4: Bring Shopify Orders into GoHighLevel

Orders help you analyze previous sales and build accurate automations for post-purchase flows inside GoHighLevel.

4.1 Export Orders from Shopify

  1. In Shopify, go to Orders.
  2. Use filters if you want a specific date range or only fulfilled orders.
  3. Click Export.
  4. Choose All orders or the filtered subset.
  5. Select a CSV format suitable for all order data.
  6. Download the CSV file.

This file typically includes order IDs, dates, line items, totals, discounts, taxes, and shipping details.

4.2 Use Order Data Inside GoHighLevel

Depending on your GoHighLevel feature set, orders may be connected in different ways:

  • Attach order summaries to contacts using custom fields or notes.
  • Use tags to mark key milestones like VIP customers or subscription buyers.
  • Trigger workflows based on imported order information (for example, start a review request campaign).

If your plan supports native order objects or ecommerce reporting, use that area to store or reference the imported order data.

Step 5: Sync or Record Tracking and Fulfillment Data

Tracking numbers and fulfillment status are often essential for support teams and post-purchase communication once you fully rely on GoHighLevel.

5.1 Export Tracking Information from Shopify

  1. In Shopify, open Orders and filter for Fulfilled or Partially fulfilled.
  2. Use built-in exports or apps that include tracking numbers and carriers.
  3. Export a CSV with order ID, tracking number, carrier name, and fulfillment date.

5.2 Add Tracking to GoHighLevel Records

  1. Decide where tracking should live in GoHighLevel (usually custom fields on contacts or deals).
  2. Create custom fields for tracking numbers, carriers, or fulfillment status.
  3. Import or manually attach the tracking details to matching contacts or internal order references.

Once tracking is stored in GoHighLevel, you can build automations that send shipment updates, delivery follow-ups, and review requests.

Step 6: Connect Funnels and Websites in GoHighLevel

With products, contacts, and order data in place, hook them into your live funnels and websites inside GoHighLevel.

6.1 Attach Products to GoHighLevel Funnels

  1. Go to Sites > Funnels in GoHighLevel.
  2. Open the funnel where you will sell the migrated products.
  3. Edit the checkout or order form step.
  4. Select the corresponding products you created earlier.
  5. Configure prices, order bumps, and upsells if available.

Test each funnel with a live or test payment to confirm that orders and contacts are recorded as expected.

6.2 Update Website Pages

  1. In GoHighLevel, open Sites > Websites.
  2. Update product pages to use your new GoHighLevel product links or checkout components.
  3. Check for broken links or images that still point to Shopify.

Review both desktop and mobile versions to ensure a smooth customer journey.

Step 7: Test, Monitor, and Optimize in GoHighLevel

After migration, keep a close eye on performance and data accuracy inside GoHighLevel.

  • Run test purchases through each primary funnel.
  • Verify new contacts are created correctly.
  • Confirm automations are firing at the right time.
  • Compare a sample of old Shopify orders to migrated data for accuracy.

Make adjustments as needed and update internal documentation to match your final process.
