Magento to Shopify migration services

Full catalogue data — products, configurable products, attributes, categories, images, and SKUs — plus customer records, addresses, and complete order history. We also move CMS pages, blog content, and set precise 301 redirects so search visibility carries across from your Magento 1 or Magento 2 store to the new Shopify build.

Discovery comes first: we audit your catalogue structure, configurable products, attributes, customer groups, tax rules, and integrations before any Shopify configuration starts. That audit becomes the migration plan — sequencing data mapping, theme build, redirects, and integration cutover with clear milestones so nothing gets compressed into launch week.

Most Magento extensions have a Shopify App Store equivalent, and we shortlist those first. Where a module was custom-built — bespoke pricing logic, unusual checkout rules, or integration middleware — we scope it as custom development on Shopify rather than forcing a workaround. This is usually where Magento merchants see the biggest simplification, since functionality that once needed a developer to maintain becomes a supported app.

Yes — names, emails, addresses, tags, and full order history import into Shopify's customer records. For security, passwords reset on first login rather than transferring directly, and we set up the account and password-reset emails so that transition feels expected rather than jarring for returning customers.

Magento's custom URL structures and category hierarchies are the main risk point, so we map every legacy URL to its Shopify equivalent and implement redirects before launch, not after. Metadata, structured data, and image alt text carry across, and Shopify's hosted infrastructure typically improves baseline site speed versus a self-managed Magento install — see our SEO migration page for how we run this as its own workstream on larger catalogues.

Yes — our broader Shopify migration service covers WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Visualsoft, and custom-built platforms. Each has a different data model, but the discovery-to-launch process stays consistent.

Cost is driven by catalogue size, the number of configurable products and customer records, and how much custom Magento functionality needs rebuilding. We scope this during discovery and give you a clear estimate covering data migration, theme work, and QA before committing to timelines — get in touch with a rough sense of your store size to start that conversation.

It matters more than most merchants expect. Magento 1 reached end of life some years ago, so stores still running it are usually carrying accumulated technical debt, unpatched security issues, and extensions that no longer have active support. We treat Magento 1 migrations with extra care around data export — some older stores need direct database access rather than clean admin exports — but the destination process on Shopify is identical to a Magento 2 migration.

No meaningful downtime for shoppers. We build and QA the Shopify store in parallel with your live Magento site, then switch DNS once data, theme, and redirects are verified. The only window to plan around is a short order freeze immediately before cutover, timed outside your peak trading hours, so nothing placed on Magento in that window gets missed.

We stay hands-on through a stabilisation period, watching redirects, indexing, and integration behaviour closely in the first weeks. After that, support & maintenance retainers and our development team keep the store evolving — many Magento merchants use the migration as the moment to also commission a new theme build rather than porting the old design as-is.
