Shopify migrations from Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce & more

Four moving parts: data (products, customers, orders, and historical content), design (a bespoke or template theme rebuilt for Shopify), technical SEO (URL mapping, redirects, and structured data so rankings survive the move), and integrations (apps, ERPs, and tools that need to keep working on day one). We scope and sequence all four together rather than treating migration as a simple export/import job.

We extract product, customer, and order history from Magento 1 or 2, rebuild your catalogue structure in Shopify (variants, metafields, collections), and either build a new theme or adapt your existing design language. Magento merchants usually move to reduce hosting, security, and developer overhead — see our dedicated Magento to Shopify migration page for platform-specific detail.

Yes. WooCommerce stores typically outgrow WordPress hosting as order volume and plugin complexity climb. We migrate product and order data, rebuild the storefront on Shopify's infrastructure, and carry over content and SEO equity carefully. Full detail is on our WooCommerce migration page.

BigCommerce and Shopify share some commerce logic, which makes data mapping more predictable, but theme, app, and checkout behaviour still need a full rebuild. We handle catalogue and order migration, theme development, and redirect mapping — see our BigCommerce migration page for specifics on what transfers cleanly and what needs rework.

Yes — most Salesforce Commerce Cloud brands moving to Shopify are doing so for Plus, given the scale, checkout flexibility, and total cost of ownership it offers enterprise catalogues. We plan data architecture, B2B and multi-storefront requirements, and integration cutover in detail before build starts. More on our Salesforce migration page.

We have migrated brands off Visualsoft, PrestaShop, Craft CMS, commercetools, Shopware, and fully bespoke builds. Custom platforms usually mean more manual data mapping and closer collaboration with your existing developers or agency, but the same discovery-to-launch process applies. See our Visualsoft migration work as one example.

Not if redirects and URL structure are planned properly, which is where most migrations go wrong. We map every legacy URL to its Shopify equivalent, implement 301 redirects, preserve metadata and structured data, and monitor crawl and index status after launch. For catalogues with deep organic history, we run this as a dedicated SEO migration workstream alongside the platform move.

Close to none for the storefront itself — we build and QA the new Shopify store in parallel with your existing site, then switch DNS and domain once everything is verified. The main window to plan around is a short data freeze right before cutover, so orders placed on the old platform in that window are captured correctly. We agree the exact cutover plan and timing with you before go-live, typically outside peak trading hours.

It comes down to complexity: multi-currency and multi-entity operations, B2B/wholesale channels, checkout customisation, and high order volumes generally justify Plus. Standard Shopify still gets the same rebuild quality, redirect discipline, and QA rigour — we help you make this call during discovery rather than defaulting to the more expensive tier.

Launch includes a stabilisation window where we monitor redirects, indexing, and integration behaviour closely. Beyond that, support & maintenance retainers cover ongoing development, app updates, and technical support, and our development team stays available for feature work as the new store beds in.
