Migrating Content Files

Migrating static content files, those stored in your store's "Files" area in the editor, is probably the easiest part of the migration project, although you will need an app like Matrixify to do the actual import.

To start, go to the "Files" section of your Turbify store editor, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click on "Export to CSV format." This will give you a CSV file that includes the name and URL of each file in your "Files" section, along with some other columns such as Created Date, File Type, etc., all of which are irrelevant here.

Next, open up the file and remove all but the Filename and URL columns. Rename the Filename column to "File Name" and the URL column to "Link," as that's how Matrixify expects these. In the URL field, you will find only the relative URLs for the files, such as /lib/ytimes/agenda.jpg, so these will have to be changed to full, absolute URLs such as https://turbifycdn.com/ty/cdn/lib/ytimes/agenda.jpg. You can do this by using search and replace in Excel or whatever spreadsheet program you are using. After converting all the files to absolute URLs, save the file as a standard comma-delimited text file (CSV).

Finally, open up Matrixify in your Shopify store and import the file you saved in the previous step.

Important: after you import the static files, any hard-coded references to these files, for example inside the captions of your products, will have to be updated so that they point to the new location of these files. I will talk more about this in the next section.
