AI-Assisted E-Commerce Migration

E-Commerce Replatforming
Done Without the Guesswork

The Zero-Gap Migration Framework is Webgarh's structured, AI-powered system for moving your store to Shopify — with zero data loss, zero SEO risk, and zero surprises at launch.

Not a migration.
A precision replatform.

Most migrations fail silently — SEO rankings drop, data gets lost, apps don't replicate, and the team is left scrambling post-launch. The Zero-Gap Framework was built to eliminate every one of those failure modes.

We combine AI-powered analysis with expert human verification at every stage. Nothing is assumed. Nothing is left to chance. Every data point carries a confidence level, and every risk is planned for before a single line of code is written.

The result? A migration that your team, your analysts, and your customers barely notice — except for the performance improvements.

🔄
Data flows forward — nothing re-entered

Every piece of information collected in any stage carries to all subsequent stages automatically. You never answer the same question twice.

🔍
Three transparent data states

Every data point is marked as AI-detected, team-verified, or team-added — with a confidence level. You always know what's confirmed and what still needs eyes on it.

🚦
Human-in-the-loop at every gate

AI accelerates discovery. Humans verify, correct, and approve. Nothing moves to the next stage without sign-off. Decision gates are non-negotiable.

📢
Progressive disclosure

We only collect the information that's needed for the current stage. You'll never feel overwhelmed by a 90-question form on day one.

Six stages, one seamless journey

From first assessment to post-launch growth — every stage has defined inputs, outputs, and decision gates.

🔎

Free Migration Readiness Assessment

Top-of-funnel lead magnet. AI analyses your store in minutes, scoring 5 dimensions and assigning a complexity band — before any human involvement.

Free Fully Automated Results in ~10 minutes No pricing shown to prospect
Platform detection & version fingerprinting
Sitemap parsing & full URL inventory
Third-party app & plugin detection
Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) via Lighthouse
SEO health: meta tags, canonicals, hreflang, schema
5-dimension scoring (0–100) with complexity band
Pain point → Shopify solution mapping
Risk identification from 400+ known migration risks
📄
Output: Client-facing Readiness Report (no pricing) + Internal Brief with pricing band, effort estimate, and qualification score.

Detailed Store Audit — 8 Sections

A thorough audit that captures everything needed to generate an accurate quote. AI pre-fills from Stage 0; the team verifies and adds what scripts can't detect.

Post-discovery call AI pre-fill + human verification Gate 0: Feasibility approval
Section A: Platform inventory & technology stack
Section B: Pages & URL redirect strategy
Section C: Apps & feature parity matrix
Section D: SEO & content migration brief
Section E: Data volumes & complexity (products, orders, customers)
Section F: Performance baseline & improvement targets
Section G: KPI baselines (CVR, AOV, abandonment)
Section H: Risks, constraints & compliance requirements
📊
Output: Feature parity matrix, data migration scope table, redirect strategy outline, risk register, recommended package, and confidence assessment.

AI-Assisted Quote Generation

Transforms audit data into a professional, itemised proposal. AI calculates costs from structured pricing models; the team reviews and adjusts before anything reaches the client.

Internal only (team reviews first) Gate 1: Quote acceptance All costs traced to formulas
Phase-by-phase cost breakdown (7 phases)
Design scope: unique pages, replicated pages, Figma
Functionality: native, app, custom dev, Plus-only
Data migration via Dofeeds credit calculation
SEO migration: redirects, meta transfer, hreflang
Analytics via GTM Assistant (standard/advanced/enterprise)
Risk buffer applied automatically (10–20%)
Payment terms, validity period, exclusions listed
📑
Output: Professional PDF quote document with 8 sections — platform mapping, design scope, functionality scope, data migration, SEO, testing, deployment, and final cost summary.
🗺️

Deep Discovery + Migration Plan

After quote acceptance, we collect detailed operational data and generate a comprehensive, phase-by-phase plan with tasks, owners, timelines, and dependencies.

Post-acceptance Gate 2: Plan approval Full Tier 2 discovery
Payment & checkout deep-dive (gateways, BNPL, 3DS)
Shipping, carriers, 3PL & returns configuration
Integration specifications (ERP, WMS, CRM, ESP)
Supplier feed compatibility assessment via Dofeeds
Analytics & tagging architecture plan (GA4, GTM, CAPI)
Data export review & PII/PHI handling plan
PCI-DSS, GDPR, CCPA compliance requirements
Critical path, dependencies & rollback plan
📋
Output: Migration blueprint document, data mapping workbook (source → Shopify fields), redirect matrix, integration specifications, KPI baseline confirmation.

7-Phase Execution

A structured, gate-controlled execution process. AI validates deliverables and flags missed items at every phase gate — nothing falls through the cracks.

Gate-controlled per phase Weekly status reports Zero-downtime cut-over
Phase 1: Analysis & Blueprint (data mapping, redirect matrix)
Phase 2: Design & UX (theme port or custom Figma build)
Phase 3: Functional Migration (apps, payments, shipping, integrations)
Phase 4: Data & SEO Migration (Dofeeds dry run + redirects)
Phase 5: Analytics Migration (GTM Assistant, GA4, consent)
Phase 6: Testing & Hardening (UAT, cross-device, performance)
Phase 7: Zero-Downtime Cut-over (war-room, DNS, monitoring)
AI-validated phase gate checklists at every transition
🚀
Output: Fully launched Shopify store with validated data, SEO coverage, analytics tracking, and operational integrations. Go-live log + T+1 post-launch report.
📈

Post-Launch Stabilisation & Growth

The migration doesn't end at launch. We monitor, stabilise, and optimise for 90 days — tracking KPIs against the baselines we established in Stage 1.

T+1 to T+90 monitoring Upkepr monitoring integration Optional SLA support tiers
Daily SEO coverage & 404 monitoring (T+1 to T+7)
Payment approval rates, conversion, and order volume tracking

What our AI analyses in your store

Five scoring dimensions give you an objective complexity profile before any conversation begins.

🏗️

Platform Migration Effort

We fingerprint your platform and version, detect custom code indicators, check end-of-life status, and cross-reference 10+ known platform quirk databases.

Data Complexity

Product count, variant depth, order history volume, custom attributes, customer records, and review data — all estimated from public sources before we touch your admin.

Complexity Band Assignment

The 5 dimension scores combine into an overall migration complexity score (0–100) that determines the right package for your store.

Essentials Replatform Headless/Enterprise

Every data point has a state

You always know how confident we are in each finding — and exactly what still needs human verification.

🤖

AI-Detected

Auto-generated by scripts and AI analysis. Marked with a confidence level: high (API data), medium (HTML scraping), or low (inferred estimates). Always clearly labelled — never presented as verified fact.

Team-Verified

An AI-detected value that a Webgarh expert has reviewed and confirmed or corrected. This is the gold standard. All data that drives quotes and plans must reach this state before proceeding.

✏️

Team-Added

Information that no script could detect — custom backend logic, business rules, hidden integrations, client-provided details. This can only come from discovery conversations and admin access.

Three packages. One right fit.

Your complexity score from Stage 0 maps directly to the package that matches your store's needs and goals.
