How do I move hundreds of existing customer stores from my current store tool?

You move hundreds of existing customer stores by list. Bulk import takes a spreadsheet of stores and stands them up with catalog, pricing and branding attached: five hundred stores in about 30 minutes.

The spreadsheet carries one row per store with the customer name, web address, subdomain, the catalog or template to use, the price list and the owner. Brandfora then builds each one the way Rapid store builds a single store: logo pulled and checked at print resolution, vector filed in that customer's art locker, brand colors read, catalog and pricing attached, subdomain and sending email address wired. Template stores let you define the shape once and apply it across the whole batch. The result is drafts, so you review and open them on your own schedule instead of flipping a switch on the entire fleet at once.

Rebuilding stores one at a time is the reason most decorators stay in a tool they have outgrown. At even 20 minutes a store, five hundred stores is more than 160 hours of somebody's year, spent retyping what already exists somewhere else.

Nothing has to go dark during the move. Order ingestion keeps pulling orders from the tool you are leaving into the same cockpit, so headquarters reads one ledger across both while stores migrate. Custom domains mean customers keep the URLs you want them to keep. The caveat: order history and stored payment methods do not follow a customer out of another vendor's system, so plan the cutover around a season boundary where you can.
