How long does a Magento to Shopify Plus migration take?

Typically 12–24 weeks depending on catalog size and integration complexity. Small catalogs (under 1,000 SKUs): 8–12 weeks. Mid-size (1,000–10,000 SKUs): 12–16 weeks. Large catalogs (10,000–50,000+ SKUs): 16–24 weeks. Our 50,000+ product migration took approximately 20 weeks.

Will I lose my SEO rankings during migration?

Not if done correctly. We create comprehensive 301 redirect maps for every URL — products, collections, pages, and blog posts. Magento's URL structure differs significantly from Shopify's, so this is a critical step we handle before launch. Skipping redirect mapping is the single most expensive migration mistake.

Can you migrate my custom Magento integrations?

Yes. Most custom ERP, PIM, and payment gateway integrations have Shopify Plus equivalents or can be rebuilt using the Shopify API. We've migrated custom payment gateways, Sales Layer PIM integrations, and complex ERP connections. Each integration is scoped during the Discovery phase.

What happens to my customer accounts and order history?

Customer data migrates including profiles, addresses, and order history. Password hashes require careful handling — customers may need to reset passwords on first login to the new store. We use custom migration scripts to preserve as much account data as possible.

Why Brands Leave Magento

The real cost of staying on Magento

End-of-Life Risk

Magento 1 is unsupported since June 2020. Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce) licensing starts at $40,000/year and scales with revenue.

Infrastructure Overhead

Hosting, security patches, SSL certificates, CDN, PCI compliance — $50,000–$150,000/year in total cost of ownership before any new development.

Slow Development Cycles

Simple changes take weeks. Extension conflicts break updates. Every Magento upgrade is a project in itself.

Scaling Pain

Traffic spikes require manual server scaling. International expansion means more infrastructure. Performance degrades as catalogs grow.

Our Migration Process

Five phases. No surprises.

Discovery & Audit

2–3 weeks

We map every data entity, integration, and custom feature in your Magento store. We identify what transfers directly, what needs rebuilding, and what can be improved during migration.

Architecture & Data Mapping

2–3 weeks

We design your Shopify Plus store architecture: collections taxonomy, product type structure, metafield schemas, and integration endpoints. Automated data transformation scripts and test migrations.

Development & Integration

6–10 weeks

Theme development, Checkout Extensibility, payment gateway integration, ERP/PIM connections, and Shopify Flow automation. Custom solutions for your specific market requirements.

QA & Parallel Testing

2–3 weeks

Both stores run simultaneously. We compare data accuracy, order flow, and integration reliability. Load testing and 301 redirect validation ensure nothing is missed.

Launch & Hypercare

1–2 weeks

DNS cutover, final data sync, monitoring dashboards, and 24/7 support. We track conversion rates, page speed, and integration health to catch issues immediately.
