The 10 Best Store Importer Apps for Shopify
The top 10 apps merchants see when they search the Shopify App Store for store importer, in the exact order the store ranks them. Only Shopify's organic ranking is shown, never sponsored ads.
Updated September 8, 2026 · Organic rankingShopify documents what a duplicated store cannot take with it, and that list is more interesting than the one it can. Traffic history does not move, because the copy is a different domain as far as analytics is concerned. Orders cannot be imported through the admin at all, which Shopify says plainly is not supported. Discount codes do not transfer, nor do gift cards already issued, nor saved custom reports. Customer records travel, but their passwords never do, so every one of them signs in again from scratch.
Settings are the other half and they stay manual: tax, shipping, checkout and payments reconfigured by hand, menus rebuilt, apps reinstalled with nothing of their data coming across, and a purchased theme licensed to the store that bought it rather than to you. What these apps genuinely automate is products, collections, metafields, metaobjects, files and pages. That is real work, and it is worth noticing that it is not the part Shopify says is impossible.

What to look for in a Store Importer app
- Check the feature list against the hard things
- Most of this category competes on the resources that were never the obstacle. Write down what you specifically need on the other side, then look for those, because the gap between an impressive list and your actual migration is usually orders, discounts and settings, and no app fixes all three.
- A copy or a running mirror
- Cloning once for a staging store and keeping two live stores in step are different products. If you want the second, ask what happens on conflict when both sides changed, because that question separates a sync tool from a copy tool more reliably than any feature table.
- Metafields need their definitions first
- Values only travel where a definition already exists on the receiving store, and variant-level metafields do not move by spreadsheet at all. If your catalogue leans on custom fields, confirm the app recreates the definitions rather than pouring values into a store that has nowhere to put them.

What does the Built for Shopify badge mean?
Built for Shopify
Built for Shopify is the highest level of recognition Shopify awards an app. To earn
the badge, an app must meet Shopify's standards for safety, performance, ease of use,
and proven usefulness: it cannot slow down the admin, storefront, or checkout, must
integrate seamlessly into the Shopify admin, and must demonstrate quality through
installs, reviews, and ratings over time. When comparing similar apps, preferring
ones with the badge is a safe default.
