Synced directly from Shopify — no export needed
Source: Shopify catalogueMigration planning
A considered move to a new discovery experience.
Start with the configuration you have, then preview what comes next. Compatibility and timing depend on your catalogue, theme and existing search app.
Your transition plan
Make the preview the decision point.
Confirm access and preserve the current configuration before making changes. Keep a rollback plan, and switch only after your storefront checks pass.

Review and configureAgree who owns each step
Use this as a starting split of responsibilities, then name the people responsible for your store.
Your store team
Record the searches, filter combinations and campaign rules you need to preserve. Keep the current settings and exports, choose the acceptance criteria and approve the switch.
Your theme developer
Check the duplicate theme, app embed placement and any custom integrations. Confirm store-wide effects separately: a theme preview does not isolate every app setting.
Access requirements
Review preview availability, supported workflows, catalogue capacity and published guidance before planning a migration. Email the team to discuss your requirements. Assign configuration and validation work explicitly; do not assume a managed migration is included.
Before you switch
Keep a short acceptance record with the preview URL, date, configuration and observed results. Resolve mismatches before changing the live storefront.
Expected products
Replay a short list of real searches and filter combinations. Record the expected product identities, actual results, selected values and reset behavior, including a no-match case.
Your storefront journeys
Check desktop, mobile and keyboard use, sorting, collection links and saved search URLs. Confirm product pages and the existing cart journey still work with the intended integration.
Recorded activity
Check consent and event collection before interpreting a report. Keep the reporting period and metric definitions with your baseline; missing tracking is not zero activity.
Restore and recheck
Retain the previous theme and configuration. Rehearse restoring the former integration in preview, restore shared settings separately where needed, and repeat the same product checks.
Migration questions
Plan a controlled migration: preview FilterIQ, validate it on your theme, document rollback, and switch only after acceptance checks. Compatibility and timing vary by existing app and theme.
Product data is synced from Shopify. Export or document settings, synonym lists and analytics from your current app if you need to preserve them; these are not automatically imported.
Document and test your rollback steps on a preview theme before activation. Retain the previous configuration and confirm how to restore it for your theme and existing app.
Timing depends on catalogue size, sync state, theme customisation and existing rules. Allow time for configuration review, desktop and mobile checks, and rollback validation.
Built as a Shopify Theme App Extension for Online Store 2.0 themes. Validate placement, styling and interactions on your theme before publishing.
Include existing search URLs, collection URLs and shared filter links in your acceptance checks. Custom routes and app-specific parameters may need attention.
FilterIQ uses Shopify catalogue data in a multi-tenant application with shop-scoped data and separate product search indexes. A separate index does not mean dedicated servers or clusters. Read the Privacy Policy and DPA for data categories, processors and deletion commitments. Include deployment-specific evidence in your review before migration.
FilterIQ is in private preview. Review preview availability, plan details, trial eligibility and billing terms. Email the team to discuss your requirements.
