Migrate to Oxygen

Merchants might have different needs when migrating traffic to a Hydrogen storefront. The following are some common merchant scenarios:

• The Hydrogen storefront is the merchant's first Shopify storefront, and they're migrating from a third-party platform.
• The merchant has existing traffic on their online store, but wants to migrate all traffic to their Hydrogen storefront at once.
• The merchant has existing traffic on their online store, but wants to use the Hydrogen storefront only for certain pages such as product pages.

In this tutorial series, you'll learn how to handle Storefront API carts and Liquid carts side-by-side to prevent customers from losing their carts when you migrate from an online store theme to a Hydrogen storefront. You'll also learn how to redirect traffic from the online store to your Hydrogen storefront, or incrementally adopt Hydrogen if necessary.
