How to Transfer Etsy Shop to Shopify
If you’re looking to move your Etsy shop onto Shopify, there are a few things you need to do first. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to import your entire shop into Shopify, including all of your products, sales data, and settings. We also recommend using a migration tool like MigrationHub to help speed up the process.
First, create a new Shopify account if you don’t already have one. Next, login to your Etsy account and go to Shop » Sales » Import. On the next page, click on the Import button and select the files that you want to upload.
You’ll need the following files:
Your Etsy store URL (e.g., shop.etsy.com)

The contents of your product data CSV file (e.g., imports/products/products-1/data/products-1.csv)
Your settings JSON file (e.g., imports/settings/settings-1.json)
If you have any custom scripts or themes installed on Etsy, make sure they’re saved as files in your downloads folder too (e.g., imports/scripts/mytheme-1x.js).
