Export Catalog from Shopify Admin
Log into your Shopify admin, navigate to Products → Export, and select 'All products' in CSV format. Download the file. No spreadsheet editing or column renaming is necessary.
1-Click Catalog Import & Image Mirroring
In your BizTrackBD admin desk, go to Products → Import → Shopify CSV. Upload your exported file. Our background worker imports your items, generates variant combinations, and downloads your product photos to our high-speed edge CDN.
Configure bKash, Nagad & Courier APIs
Enter your Steadfast or Pathao API keys and your personal or merchant bKash/Nagad wallet numbers in Settings. Test your automatic dispatch rules and set up your Bangla SMS confirmation templates.
Zero-Downtime DNS Pointing
Update your domain DNS (at Cloudflare, Namecheap, or GoDaddy) to point the CNAME record to BizTrackBD edge servers. Your old Shopify store continues serving shoppers until DNS propagates globally with 0 seconds of store downtime.

Shopify Migration FAQs
Practical answers to questions about domain propagation, SEO rankings, and photos.
Will my store experience downtime while migrating from Shopify?
No. The migration is completely zero-downtime. Your Shopify store remains active and accepting orders until you update your DNS records. As DNS caches propagate worldwide, traffic transitions seamlessly to your new BizTrackBD storefront with zero gap in availability.
What if I want to rollback to Shopify after switching?
We offer a 2-Minute Rollback Guarantee. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied, simply change your DNS record back to Shopify's IP (`23.227.38.65`). Your original Shopify store remains unchanged until you deliberately choose to cancel your subscription.
Will my product photos break when I cancel my Shopify subscription?
No. When you upload your Shopify CSV to BizTrackBD, our ingestion engine downloads and mirrors all high-resolution images to our dedicated media cloud. Your images will continue loading fast even after your Shopify account is closed.
How much money does a typical Bangladesh store save after switching from Shopify?
An average online store processing 400 orders per month saves approximately ৳ 8,000 to ৳ 14,000 every month. This includes eliminating Shopify's base USD subscription, foreign card VAT (15%), 2.0% third-party gateway penalty fees, and third-party apps for COD OTP and courier bridges.
Can the BizTrackBD team handle this migration for me?
Yes! We provide 100% free concierge migration assistance. Our Dhaka engineering team will connect with you via WhatsApp or phone, verify your CSV file, configure your courier API keys, and assist with DNS records at no cost.
