How long does migration take?
Catalog import can take an afternoon; zone mapping and checkout QA usually need 1–2 weeks of parallel testing.
Why operators switch
Teams outgrow menu-first stacks when delivery volume rises, SEO matters, or payment fees eat margin. Read our DabDash vs Higher Level comparison for a feature-by-feature view before you migrate.
Audit what you must carry over
Export products, categories, customer emails (where permitted), and historical promos. Map delivery zones in DabDash with polygons — do not assume zip lists from your old system will translate.
Run parallel before cutover
Soft-launch the new shop to staff and VIPs for a week. Test COD checkout, zone detection, and driver workflows on real addresses in every zone.
Redirect traffic you own
Update GBP links, email footers, and social bios on launch day. Publish a short blog post announcing the new shop URL so returning customers are not surprised.
