Catalog and variant mapping
Configurable, bundle, and grouped products fitted to Shopify's 3 options and 2,048 variants per product.
The Problem
Every Magento Patch and Upgrade Pulls Time Away From Selling
It starts with a patch that breaks checkout, or an extension that fails after an upgrade. The bills grow while the store stays the same.
01 · Patch weekends
A Friday security patch breaks a checkout extension.
Extensions get replaced with Shopify apps or small custom code.
02 · Hosting costs
You pay for hosting, patches, and fixes, and nothing improves.
We rebuild your theme in Liquid on a preview store first.
03 · Complex catalog
Configurable products and group prices feel too risky to touch.
Attribute sets and customer groups get a Shopify home before any import.
04 · URL risk
Years of rankings sit on .html URLs you can't lose.
Each .html product and category URL points to its new page with a redirect.
A security patch lands on a Friday. Your developer applies it, and a checkout extension stops loading. By Monday you've paid for hosting, the patch, and the fix, and the store looks exactly like last week. Your catalog has grown into configurable products and group prices nobody wants to touch. Moving feels risky too: years of rankings sit on .html URLs, and one missed redirect hands that traffic to a competitor.
We start by exporting your Magento catalog, customers, and orders, then mapping each attribute set and customer group to Shopify. We run a full test migration onto a preview store, rebuild your theme in Liquid, and replace extensions with apps or small custom code. Every old URL gets a 301. Launch happens when the counts match, not when the calendar says so.
Data mapped before it moves
Attribute sets and customer groups get a Shopify home before any import.
A full test run first
Every record lands on a preview store, so you check counts first.
Redirects for every URL
Each .html product and category URL points to its new page with one 301.
Our Magento Migration Process
From Magento Audit to Shopify Launch in Five Clear Steps
You see the data map, the test store, and the redirect list before launch. Each step ends with counts, pages, or URLs you can check.
We review your Magento version, catalog, extensions, and integrations, plus your top pages in Search Console. You get a call on what moves easily and what needs rework. If an automated migration app already covers your store, we'll tell you before we quote.
What's Included
What You Get With a Magento to Shopify Data Migration
Every plan moves products, customers, and orders, redirects every Magento URL, and ends with a tested cutover. Larger plans add design and integrations.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built and relaunched ecommerce stores for.
We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture
Why Store Owners Trust Us to Leave Magento
Magento stores carry years of custom work, so we inventory it before we promise anything. These habits come with every move.
Every extension inventoried
We list what each Magento extension does and how Shopify will cover it: an app, a built-in feature, or custom code. You see costs before you commit.
Counts that match
We compare product, customer, and order counts between Magento and Shopify after every import. Launch waits until every count agrees.
Old links keep working
Every Magento product, category, and CMS URL gets a 301 to its new page. Links from blogs, ads, and emails keep working.
Cutover in a quiet hour
We switch your domain in your slowest hour, after importing the latest orders. Shoppers keep buying while the store changes hands.
Fixed scope, fixed price
You approve the data map, the redirect plan, and one fixed price before work starts. Surprises in the catalog get quoted first.
You own the new store
Your Shopify store, theme code, and app accounts sit in your name from day one. We work as staff on your account.

Good fit
Magento 1 stores past end of support
Your store still runs on Magento 1, which Adobe stopped patching in June 2020, and your host keeps flagging old PHP.
Magento 2 stores tired of upkeep
You spend more on hosting, patches, and extension fixes than on new features, and you want that gone.
Stores with complex Magento catalogs
Your catalog mixes configurable, bundle, and grouped products with custom attributes, and each needs a plan on Shopify.
Brands protecting years of rankings
Your best traffic lands on old .html product URLs, and you want a tested redirect plan before anyone touches the domain.
Agencies moving a client off Magento
Your agency won a Magento client who wants Shopify, and you need the migration engineered under your brand.
Not a fit
Shopify Plus B2B features
You need Shopify Plus for company-specific B2B pricing, extra storefronts, or checkout changes. Our Shopify Plus Migration Services cover that move.
Leaving another platform
Your store runs on WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Wix, or Squarespace. Our WooCommerce to Shopify Migration page and its siblings cover those moves.
Search side only
Another team is rebuilding your store and you only need the search side. Our SEO Migration Services page covers redirects and rankings.
Small catalog, small budget
Your budget is under $1,350 and your catalog is small and simple. An automated migration app can move the basics for now.

A Magento migration checklist for Shopify covers 6 areas: data, URLs, theme, apps, payments, and launch. Data means products, customers, orders, reviews, and CMS pages. Every URL needs a 301, and the theme gets rebuilt in Liquid. Launch covers the final import, the domain switch, and 30 days of checks.
Products, customers, orders, and reviews all move, and subscriptions move when your payment provider allows it. A Magento to Shopify product migration carries SKUs, variants, images, prices, and SEO fields. Customers keep addresses, tags, and marketing consent. Stripe, Braintree, and Authorize.Net payment methods can be imported, so subscribers keep their cards.
A Magento move with us costs $1,350, $3,600, or $7,200, depending on catalog size and theme work. The $1,350 plan covers up to 1,000 products on a premium theme. The $3,600 plan handles up to 10,000 products and keeps your design. The $7,200 plan adds a custom theme and one rebuilt integration.
Most Magento stores go live on Shopify in 4 to 10 weeks. A catalog under 1,000 products on a premium theme takes about 4 weeks, while custom themes and rebuilt integrations push it toward 10. Your review of the test store takes the most time, and we time launch around your sales calendar.
You shouldn't lose rankings if every old URL redirects to its closest new page and your content moves intact. Rankings dip when redirects are missing or meta titles get dropped. We move titles and descriptions, redirect every URL, and track Search Console while Google recrawls over the next few weeks.
We export Magento's URL rewrites, crawl your live site, and pair each old address with its new Shopify page. Magento URLs often end in .html or include category paths, while Shopify uses /products/ and /collections/, so nearly every URL changes. Standard Shopify plans hold up to 100,000 redirects, enough for most catalogs.
We rebuild it, because Magento themes can't run on Shopify. Magento uses PHP templates and layout XML, while Shopify themes use Liquid. Catalog Move sets up a premium theme with your branding. Full Migration matches your current design, and Custom Rebuild builds a new theme from your design files.
We list every gateway, extension, and integration on your Magento store, then pick a Shopify match for each. Payments usually move to Shopify Payments, or stay with your provider if Shopify supports it. Extensions become apps, built-in features, or small custom code, and ERP and shipping tools reconnect through their Shopify apps.
Yes, unless you use Shopify's new customer accounts, which sign in with a one-time code instead of a password. Shopify can't import passwords from another platform, because they're encrypted outside Shopify. With classic accounts, we send account invites after launch. New accounts just email shoppers a 6-digit code.
Post-migration QA covers checkout, payments, taxes, shipping, emails, and a sample of redirects on real devices. After go-live, we watch 404s, orders, and Search Console for 30 days and fix what comes up. We also pause staff order notifications during the order import, since Shopify emails staff about every imported order.
