Magento to Shopify migration. Official Shopify Plus Partner, Amsterdam & New York
Magento is powerful but expensive: slow feature rollouts, heavy hosting and maintenance costs that keep climbing every year. Shopify Plus delivers the same power, faster and at lower cost, with a migration that fully preserves your rankings and data.

Migration process
Replatforming from Magento to Shopify in five steps
Magento audit & discovery
Full Magento codebase audit, extension-by-extension mapping, SEO baseline crawl and data inventory. Output: a go/no-go decision matrix per Magento feature.
Data mapping & SEO strategy
Products, variants, categories, customers, orders and B2B accounts mapped to Shopify objects. URL mapping for the 301 redirect strategy. Schema Markup and hreflang plan.
Theme build & Functions
Custom Shopify Plus theme in Liquid, Shopify Functions for cart logic, Checkout Extensibility blocks. Magento custom logic replaced by Shopify-native equivalents.
ERP, PIM & middleware
Existing Magento-Exact, Magento-Dynamics or Magento-SAP integrations replicated to Shopify Plus. Middleware (Alumio, Boomi, Patchworks) where it is faster or cheaper.
Phased launch & monitoring
Dry-run week with test orders, freeze window, final data sync, DNS switch and redirect activation. Launch engineer on standby for 48 hours, 90 days of GSC monitoring after launch.
A successful replatforming comes down to what happens under the hood. We arrange every data layer, every integration and every redirect so your team can focus on product and growth instead of migration stress.
- 01
Full data transfer without loss
Products with all variants and attributes, category structure, customer database, complete order history, product images at the right resolution. We build scripts that run a test sync every night so you know up front how the data looks on Shopify.
- 02
Watertight 301 redirect strategy
A mapping per URL from Magento to Shopify. Not just products and categories but blog, filters, old promo pages and orphaned URLs from Google Search Console. No broken links, no lost rankings.
- 03
Replacing Magento extensions
Per extension we choose: replace with Shopify-native, replace with a Shopify app, or rebuild as a Shopify Function or Checkout Extension. We make clear up front what stays and what disappears.
- 04
Carry B2B and wholesale across
Company accounts, customer-specific price lists, payment terms and contract pricing migrated 1-to-1 to Shopify B2B. Net 30 and net 60 flows, purchase orders and quote-to-cash without interruption.
- 05
Replicate or upgrade ERP integration
Existing Magento-Exact, Magento-SAP or Magento-Dynamics integrations carried across. Or replaced with modern middleware (Alumio, Boomi, Patchworks) where that is faster or cheaper.
- 06
Performance as a starting point
Shopify hosts your store on its own infrastructure, so server management and caching drop off your list. We build the new theme lean: optimised images and only the apps you actually use. After launch we measure Core Web Vitals against the baseline of your Magento store.
- 07
Cutover week with launch engineer
A phased cutover week with dry-run, freeze window, final sync, DNS switch and redirect activation. Launch engineer on standby for 48 hours, 30-minute response time in the first week.

Replatforming is a new build, not a house move.
A Magento to Shopify migration is never a lift-and-shift with us, but a new build with your existing data, redirects and integrations as the foundation. Dozens of replatforms behind us, without a single ranking incident.
Why businesses move from Magento to Shopify
Magento gives you a great deal of control, and with it a great deal of upkeep. Magento Open Source runs on infrastructure you manage, so hosting, security patches, upgrades and extensions sit with you. Adobe supports each Adobe Commerce 2.4 release for three years. Version 2.4.6 left that support on 11 August 2026, and Adobe states that an unsupported version is no longer PCI compliant.
- 01Hosting and security: Shopify hosts the store and is certified PCI DSS Level 1, covering your store as well.
- 02Checkout: Shopify's checkout with Shop Pay is standard, extendable with checkout extensions on Shopify Plus.
- 03International: Shopify Markets handles currency, languages, domains and taxes per market.
- 04Apps and custom logic: features from the Shopify App Store, custom logic as a Shopify Function.
If you are still on Magento 1, the question is more pressing: Adobe shipped the final Magento 1 security patches in June 2020. Upgrade to Magento 2 or move to Shopify? Both routes are a migration. Adobe's tool carries over products, customers and orders, but themes and customisations have to be reworked. If you have to migrate Magento either way, that rebuild can just as well happen on a platform that carries hosting and security for you.
Magento vs Shopify: what changes when you replatform
Shopify is not a copy of Magento. Magento gives you full control over the code; Shopify takes over the technical layer and lets you extend it with apps, Functions and extensions. If you are weighing Shopify as a Magento alternative, compare it part by part.
| Magento | Shopify | |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting | Open Source on your own servers; Adobe Commerce also as cloud service | Hosted by Shopify, SSL certificate included |
| Updates and security | Self-hosted: you plan patches and upgrades yourself | PCI DSS Level 1, covering every store |
| Checkout | Two steps, customised through your own modules | Shopify checkout with Shop Pay; extensions on Plus |
| Variants | Configurable product: each variant a separate simple product | Up to 2,048 variants and three options per product |
| Product data | Attribute sets and attributes per product type | Metafields and metaobjects, also usable as filters |
| Apps and integrations | Extensions from Commerce Marketplace or custom builds | Shopify App Store, custom work through Functions and APIs |
| B2B | Adobe Commerce B2B extension: company accounts, quotes | B2B from Basic; per-company catalogs on Plus |
| International | Websites, stores and store views per language | Shopify Markets: currency, languages and domains per market |
Where Shopify solves something differently, such as the limit of three options per product, the audit records how we set it up.
What does a Magento to Shopify migration cost?
A Magento to Shopify Plus migration starts at 35,000 euros for a replatform with theme build and standard data transfer. More complex projects run to 80,000 euros and beyond.
- 01Catalog: the number of products and attribute sets, and how many configurable products use more than three options.
- 02Extensions and custom modules: each one becomes Shopify-native, an app or a Shopify Function.
- 03Websites and store views: several languages, currencies or brands call for a setup in Shopify Markets or separate stores.
- 04Integrations: ERP, PIM and warehouse systems are carried across or replaced with middleware.
- 05B2B: company accounts, shared catalogs and payment on account from Adobe Commerce B2B.
- 06Design: a new custom theme or your current look, developed further.
Where you land depends on what has been built onto Magento over the years. The audit makes that concrete, followed by a tailored quote.
Pitfalls in a Magento migration, and how we handle them
The pitfalls in a Magento project sit in predictable places.
- 01URLs: Magento sometimes builds URLs with a .html suffix, a category path or a store code, so one product can live at several addresses. Shopify uses fixed paths such as /products/ and /collections/. We map every old URL and import the 301 redirects in bulk.
- 02Customer accounts: passwords are encrypted and cannot be migrated. On Shopify's current customer accounts that is no barrier: customers sign in with their email address and a one-time code. We plan the communication around launch.
- 03Product structure: configurable products with more than three options, and bundle or grouped products, do not map one to one. We decide the setup per product type, with metafields for remaining attributes.
- 04Extensions: functionality tucked away in a module is often only noticed once it is missing. The audit maps every module up front.
- 05Tracking: tags in the Magento theme or in extensions do not move by themselves. On Shopify, measurement runs through pixels in Customer events, checkout included. We compare the numbers before and after cutover.
- 06After launch: we monitor Google Search Console for 90 days, so any shift in visibility shows up early.
That is why every project starts with the audit: what you see up front, you can plan for.
Frequently asked questions about Magento to Shopify migration
An average Magento project to Shopify Plus takes 10 to 14 weeks, from audit to launch. With Magento, three things drive the timeline: the number of extensions and custom modules that need a replacement, the number of websites and store views, and the integrations with ERP or PIM. An installation with several websites, the Adobe Commerce B2B extension and a lot of custom logic can run to 16 to 20 weeks. The audit produces a week-by-week schedule.
Yes, provided the URL structure is translated properly. Magento can build URLs with a .html suffix, a category path or a store code, and one product sometimes has several addresses. Shopify uses fixed paths such as /products/ and /collections/. We map every Magento URL, including filter pages and URLs from Google Search Console, to a single new destination, set up the 301 redirects and carry across meta titles, descriptions, canonicals and Schema Markup. After launch we monitor Search Console for 90 days.
A Magento to Shopify Plus migration starts at 35,000 euros for a replatform with theme build and standard data transfer. More complex migrations run to 80,000 euros and beyond. After the audit you get a tailored quote.
Products and variants, categories, customers, the full order history, images, CMS pages, SEO data and, where present, reviews. Configurable products become products with variants in Shopify (up to 2,048 per product, at most three options), attributes from your attribute sets land as metafields and categories become collections. Translations from your store views move to the languages in Shopify. For B2B we carry across company accounts, price agreements and payment terms. Passwords cannot be migrated; customers sign in with a one-time code instead.
Magento is technically powerful, but hosting, security patches, version upgrades and extensions sit with you or your hosting partner. On Shopify Plus, hosting, security and platform updates are part of the subscription, and apps, Shopify Functions and the GraphQL Admin API replace most custom work. In your business case, set the running costs side by side: hosting, licences, upgrades and development hours against subscription and apps.
For most D2C brands and mid-market B2B organisations, yes. Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce require your own hosting, security patches and specialist developers; Shopify Plus takes that layer over. B2B with company accounts and price lists, multiple markets through Shopify Markets and custom logic through Shopify Functions cover what most Magento shops use. Where Shopify does not offer something natively, we name it in the audit.
Per extension we decide: replace with Shopify-native functionality, replace with a Shopify app from the ecosystem, or rebuild as a Shopify Function or Checkout Extension.
Yes. We have experience with Exact Online, Exact Globe, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, AFAS and Centric. Existing integrations are replicated or replaced with better middleware. Real-time sync with no downtime.
We plan a phased cutover: dry-run week with test orders, freeze window for product data, final data sync, DNS switch, redirect activation and monitoring. A dedicated launch engineer is on standby for 48 hours.
That is outdated: since late 2025 Shopify supports up to 2,048 variants per product, for all merchants. That means we migrate complex Magento catalogs with many options without simplifying your product structure, complemented by metafields and metaobjects for rich product data.
Customer details, addresses and order history come across; passwords do not. They are stored encrypted and cannot be migrated to Shopify. On Shopify's current customer accounts that is no barrier: customers sign in with their email address and a one-time six-digit code, without a password. Legacy customer accounts are no longer available to new stores, so this is the standard. We plan how and when your customers hear about it around launch.
