Migration support varies by app and category. DSers: Dropship+AliExpress+AI and Shopify Search & Discovery both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from Shopify Search & Discovery" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
