Shopify-to-Shopify Reorganization
Consolidate Shopify stores without breaking subscriptions, and decide what happens to draft orders and open carts at cutover.
Common Questions
How do we migrate active subscription contracts (Recharge, Skio, or native Shopify Subscriptions) from one Shopify store to another during consolidation?
Active subscription contracts move between two Shopify stores only as far as their saved payment methods do, because each store keeps its own. Shopify sends a store consolidation to its paid Professional Services migration: credit cards only, on Plus or Enterprise (Shopify Help Center, October 2026). Recharge's and Skio's guides route Shopify-vaulted cards through Shopify's own transfer (October 2026).
What happens to draft orders and open carts sitting in the old Shopify store during a consolidation cutover? Do they need manual handling?
Open carts need no handling and draft orders do. Shopify carts expire within 30 days of creation (Shopify developer docs, October 2026), so old carts die on their own. Draft orders persist, and each invoice links to the sending store's checkout (Shopify Help Center, October 2026), so recreate each owned draft in the surviving store and resend its invoice.
