I haven't found anything thing in Shopify's documentation that discusses data migration from Shopify 1.0 to 2.0. I have a lot of custom data that I have created with blocks on several pages, and don't really have to the time to migrate every page? How do we preseve the pages that we've created?
Shopify is not touching the old pages as long as we want. You can keep them as it is and start using build new pages with Shopify 2.0 - we don't need have to migrate each and every page.

I have good knowledge of Angular but I am new to Spartacus storefront.
At the moment I have read a lot of documentation and watched many video tutorials but I have not yet understood how to start customizing pages and components: the documentation is unclear and other resources found are often out of date.
How can I understand from the CMS which is the Home page? And what are the components that build it? How can I customize them?
Can anyone tell me what is the best approach to start customizing the header, footer and content based on the sketches I need to replicate? Where do I find a step by step guide that helps me do this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
P.S. Locally I have a default B2C multisite installation (Appareal and Electronics) with our backend as baseSite.
Try joining the Spartacus courses SAP is giving, it will give you a good start on how to work with the CMS. They are free and hold value for beginners.
Using the CmsService you can get the currentPage and based on the UID you can determine if you are on the homepage.
You can override components by creating Angular components and creating an override based on the class or flexType https://sap.github.io/spartacus-docs/customizing-cms-components/
If you are new to Angular I really recommend doing a deep-dive on this first otherwise Spartacus will be very confusing. Been there...
I am a beginner to Spartacus so I have a few queries in my mind.
Kindly validate my understanding so far with respect to spartacus:
I believe, Spartacus framework will expect all CMS component from SAP Commerce. Once spartacus receive a component from SAP Commerce then it can be customized as per need
I have setup the sparatcus storefront and it's up and running. I have followed the steps mentioned in documentation, but now coming to my customization/implementation of my storefront from complete scratch like header/footer banner etc component needs to be created. So how can I go and which files need to be updated? I mean can this be done from SAP Commerce side first (Component) then Applying CSS and JS can done in Spartacus side?
These are brought questions, and not easy to answer with short answers. A few pointers:
Not necessarily. You can adapt other CMS systems, or customise partially regardless of the CMS.
You can customise CSS, customise CMC components, use outlets to amend existing DOM, etc.
I would like to create a Shopify app that adds an additional section to the checkout page - a possibility to select the delivery time window. I know that such apps already exist but I want to use my own application server to generate the values that can be selected.
What is the best way to approach this? I've spent last 2 days browsing shopify documentation and following various tutorials but I'm still confused. I thought that application bridge would be the way to go but after playing with it a bit it seems that it only allows to embed application frame in the admin panel, not on the checkout page.
Should my app send a script tag that would call my server and add the whole slot selection UI in javascript? Or should I maybe modify the templates somehow? Can I even make AJAX requests to third party servers from templates?
I would appreciate any advice.
Shopify revealed that there will be a Checkout Apps support soon, but that time isn't now.
So at the moment the Checkout page is standalone and you can't use the ScriptTag API in it.
If you are on a Shopify Plus account and you contacted Shopify to allow you to modify the checkout.liquid file you will be able to add your section manually.
With some additional JS logic you can pass the delivery time to the cart.attributes so that it will be present in the order info. But that's pretty much what you can do and only if you have a PLUS account.
If you plan to make larger modifications you will have to create an App that will have a custom checkout process... which will be a huge overkill for adding a single section, but that's a solution as well.
I am new in Shopify and My requirement to add more than one custom module in Shopify.
Like, admin panel (back end) side manage all module (CRUD).
I also developed a custom theme in Shopify with slate and liquid.
But, I have no idea about the custom module.
Anyone can share any docs and reference sites to related this topic.
Anyone any idea?
Yes you can make this with custom app(module/plugin) shopify documentation
But you should understand how Shopify module works. You can't access direct to database and crate new database tables and rows, or create backend backend code on shopify, but you can manipulate data (products, orders, discounts, etc..) through shopify api and send data into liquid template or pages. Good example, and tutorial for PHP developers is there (Shopify app development in PHP)
If you want crate new data source (For example Blog, Comments or something like that) then you should crate that part on another server (Backend part) and connect with your app (module/plugin), and after that you can use data from another server in your Shopify templates or pages. Good example, and tutorial for PHP developers is there (Shopify app development in PHP)
We have got new work for e-commerce website which is built in Shopify framework.We have a custom requirement on this website.the client wants to change the functionality of search box section in the header.Since we have not more idea about Shopify framework but we have worked in Ruby on Rails (Shopify built in RoR language) language.So my question is can we override and edit Shopify core files?if not what is the solution to make custom work in Shopify?
As in my knowledge, Shopify is paid framework and his team is provide extension and plugin but can we edit and update in these plugins?
If anyone has an idea please share your thoughts so that we can proceed our work.
Many Thanks in advance.
You can not overwrite Shopify's Core framework. There is some customization that can be done through their script editor but it is only available for plus merchants.

What kind of functionality are they looking to change? Most likely you'll have to create an external application and use Shopify API's to do this or use a search app from the app store.

highly restriction Admin Pages Like Dashboard, Product pages, order pages, etc...
