Moving from Magento to Shopify.

We plan Magento migrations around the extensions, custom code and integrations your store depends on, so nothing the business relies on is lost in the move.

The extensions are the real inventory.

A long-running Magento store usually carries years of extensions and custom modules, each added to solve a problem at the time. Some are still essential. Some duplicate each other. Some do nothing at all. Before anything moves, we list every one and what it does for the business.

That list decides the shape of the migration. Each item is either covered by Shopify itself, handled by a Shopify app, rebuilt as a custom app, or retired.

How Magento features usually map to Shopify

A guide, not a rule. The audit settles each case.

Extensions and custom modules Shopify features, apps or custom apps. Which ones still matter, and what each costs to replace.
Multiple store views Markets, or separate stores where the differences are large. Pricing, language and catalogue differences between views.
Complex B2B pricing Shopify B2B features or a custom pricing app. Customer-specific prices, quotes and credit terms.
Hosting and patching Handled by Shopify. What your team or supplier currently spends on it.
URL structure Shopify’s fixed URL patterns, with redirects. Every old address mapped to a new one.

Magento to Shopify FAQs

Can we keep our product URLs?

Shopify uses its own URL patterns, so some addresses change. We map every old URL to its new address and set up redirects before launch.

What happens to our Magento extensions?

Each one is reviewed. Most are covered by Shopify itself or an app; some are rebuilt as custom apps; some are no longer needed.

Can you move customer passwords?

Passwords cannot be moved between platforms. We plan how returning customers will sign in, so they are not left stuck at launch.

How do we keep trading during the move?

The new store is built and tested alongside the live Magento store, and the switch is timed around your trading calendar.
