How to use the result

This tool is a structured planning aid, not a guarantee that a provider will meet every requirement. Save the assumptions, test the shortlist with a representative product and order, and verify current provider terms.

Assign evidence and ownership

Each completed item should have an owner, a stored export or screenshot, and a date. Do not mark a migration step complete because a vendor says it is supported. Verify the result with representative products, customer records, orders, discounts, taxes, shipping rules, refunds, and reports.

Control the launch window

Freeze high-risk changes, lower DNS time to live in advance, retain a read-only copy of the old system, and define rollback criteria. After launch, reconcile orders, payments, refunds, inventory, analytics, and customer notifications. Keep financial and consent records for the period required by the business, even when the new platform does not import them cleanly.
