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.
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.
A guide, not a rule. The audit settles each case.
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.
Each one is reviewed. Most are covered by Shopify itself or an app; some are rebuilt as custom apps; some are no longer needed.
Passwords cannot be moved between platforms. We plan how returning customers will sign in, so they are not left stuck at launch.
The new store is built and tested alongside the live Magento store, and the switch is timed around your trading calendar.
Give us a sense of your catalogue, your extensions and the systems the store connects to.
