New features, improvements, and fixes in Migratify.
#
Fix: Partial and Failed imports always show a reason
fixed
An import that ends Partial or Failed in Import history now always shows a reason.
Reasons include the import stopping before it finished, your store being on a Shopify trial, Shopify reporting your store as unavailable, Shopify's daily variant limit, and Migratify losing access to your store. For that last one, reopen the app to reconnect.

Clearer results when importing slow category pages
improved
When checking a URL takes more than about 15 seconds, the Product URL card now says it is still loading products and that this can take up to a minute and a half.
If Migratify could only find part of a category page's products, it tells you before you import, so you can check the preview first.
Some websites with slow category pages now get more time to load their full product list. If the list still doesn't load, you see a message asking you to try again in a few minutes, and nothing is imported, instead of only part of the list.
Migratify now follows the admin style you use in Shopify, new or classic. In the new style, pages have a white background so side cards read as a sidebar.
Category pages on websites that aren't Shopify stores now import more often. When the page links to its products, Migratify reads those links straight from the page and imports up to 250 products from it.
If a category page lists no products, for example a page of sub-categories, Migratify now says: "We detected that the URL you provided is a collection page, but couldn't find any products listed on it. If it shows sub-categories, open the one that lists the products you want and paste that link."
#
Fix: Checking an import link no longer fails when the site type is unclear
fixed
When Migratify could not tell what kind of store an import link pointed to, for example because the site was slow or blocked the check, checking the link could stop with an error. It now treats the link as a regular website and carries on.
Checking a link to a slow store also finishes sooner, because Migratify no longer retries the store check over and over.
#
Fix: Imports from a Shopify store that blocks Migratify now finish quickly with a reason
fixed
When a source Shopify store blocks or rate limits Migratify during a store or collection import, Migratify pauses requests to that store for a few minutes and skips its remaining products right away, instead of retrying each one over and over.
The import then settles as Partial or Failed in Import history, with a badge explaining why. Only products that landed count toward the Free plan limit.
On the Free plan, Migratify now reads only as many of the source store's products as you have imports left, so store and collection imports start faster.
#
Fix: FashionGo product pages import cleanly with the Chrome extension
fixed
Importing a FashionGo product page with the Chrome extension now reads the product details instead of stopping with a "not a product page" error caused by hidden popup dialogs on the page.
Other websites that place size charts, contact forms, or policy popups in <main> blocks on the product page also import cleanly now.
#
Fix: Import page no longer stuck loading after you reinstall Migratify
fixed
If you uninstalled Migratify while an import was running and then installed it again, the Import page could stay stuck on the progress spinner.
Uninstalling now resets the import status, so a fresh install starts with a ready Import page. Stores already affected are reset automatically by a daily cleanup.
#
Fix: Chrome extension imports bring in images from sites that lazy-load them
fixed
Some sites (for example Colnect) load their product photos only as you scroll, so the page first shows a tiny blank placeholder. Chrome extension imports from those pages used to bring in the title, description, SKU, and price but no images.
Migratify now reads the real photo address behind the placeholder, so the product's images come through and are copied to your Shopify store.
Nothing to update on your side. Just import the page again with the Chrome extension.
#
Fix: Product counts stay on one line in Import history
fixed
Import history: each import's product count in the Products column (for example "1 product" or "24 products") now stays on a single line instead of wrapping onto two.
#
Fix: Imports that can't start now show as Failed instead of staying Pending
fixed
Import and Import history: if an import can't start (for example, the source store blocks or rate limits the request while Migratify is gathering product links), the import now switches to Failed right away instead of staying in Pending. The row in Import history shows the reason as a badge (or "We couldn't start the import. Please try again."), you can start your next import immediately, and if you have Import finished emails turned on, you'll get the "Your import didn't complete" email.
Rate-limited Shopify stores: when a Shopify store you're importing from returns HTTP 429 (too many requests), Migratify now shows "The store is limiting how fast we can read it (HTTP 429). Try again in a few minutes, or use the Chrome extension." Wait a few minutes and try again, or import with the Chrome extension.

#
Fix: Unreachable stores now show an error in seconds
fixed
Import: when Migratify can't connect to the website you're importing from, checking the URL or clicking Start migration now shows "We couldn't reach the store right now. Try again in a few minutes or use the Chrome extension." within a few seconds (about 12), instead of waiting about a minute before showing an error.
There's nothing you need to change. Wait a few minutes and try again, or use the Chrome extension for that site.
#
Fix: Cleaner prices, labels, and history in the Migratify admin
fixed
Import: the product preview shows prices in your store's currency format, for example "$395.00 (was $430.00)" instead of "395.00 USD (was 430.00 USD)". The Magic Edit box is taller, so the full example prompt shows.
Import history: status badges (Pending, Finished, Partial, Failed) now appear in your app language, the Method column reads Imported via App or Imported via Extension, batch IDs and methods stay on one line, and dates show correctly in Safari.
#
Fix: Variant images kept when Shopify is slow to process images
fixed
Imported products now keep their variant images when Shopify takes a while to process the product's images. Migratify keeps checking for a few more minutes and attaches each variant's image once it's ready, instead of skipping them.
Variant images can show up on the product a few minutes after the import finishes.
Products imported before this fix are not updated automatically. Re-import them to get the variant images.
#
Fix: Magic Edit credit numbers now match on every page
fixed
Magic Edit credit numbers now match on Home, Import, and Pricing, and large numbers are easier to read, for example 4,493 instead of 4493.
The Pricing page shows how your monthly and extra credits add up, for example "4,493 of 6,000 credits left (5,000 monthly + 1,000 extra)", and the usage bar fills as you use credits.
#
Fix: Shopify store imports now respect the number of products
fixed
Shopify store and collection imports now create only the number of products Migratify finds, or what your Free plan allows. Before this, an import could bring in a whole page of up to 30 products.
The Free plan import limit is unchanged.
This applies to Shopify store and collection URLs only.
#
Fix: Variant images on products with many variants
fixed
Products with more than 100 variants that each have their own image now import with every variant image attached. Before, those products could lose their variant images.
Products you imported before this fix are not updated automatically. Re-import them to get the variant images.
#
A faster Migratify admin that works on your phone
improved
Every page loads faster, and pages you've already opened show right away. On a phone, tables turn into easy to read lists.
Import history is now its own page. Open it from Import history at the top of the Import page or View all on Home. See View your import history.
While Migratify checks a URL, you see "We are currently checking the URL, which may take a few seconds", then a green check with how many products it found. The Import settings card now folds into a short summary; click Edit to change it. See Import products from a URL.
When an import finishes, a green banner on the Import page replaces the old popup, with View products and Import history buttons.
Pricing shows a Your usage card with products imported and Magic Edit credits left, plus Upgrade and Downgrade buttons. Choosing a smaller plan now asks you to confirm first. See Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your plan.
#
Fix: Shopify store imports recover from connection errors
fixed
When a Shopify store import hits a temporary connection error, Migratify now retries through other routes automatically instead of failing.
If the store still can't be reached, you see a clear message instead of "Unable to validate the URL": "We couldn't reach the store right now. Try again in a few minutes or use the Chrome extension."
