Move off Magento without losing what works

We move Magento and Adobe Commerce stores to Shopify without losing data, revenue or search visibility, and without taking the store offline.

LET’S CHAT

What is Magento really costing you?

Plenty of stores stay on Magento because moving feels risky, not because it still fits. If some of the following sounds familiar, it may be worth weighing up a move.

Licensing that keeps climbing

With Adobe steering Open Source users towards paid Commerce Cloud, the platform many chose because it was free can start carrying a serious annual fee.

A shrinking pool of specialists

Experienced Magento and Adobe Commerce developers are getting harder to find, which tends to push up rates and leave you dependent on a few people for every change.

Security patching that never stops

Self-hosted Magento leaves patching, PCI compliance and infrastructure with you, and a missed update can expose the store to the skimming attacks that have hit many Magento merchants.

Technical debt from years of custom work

A store built up over years tends to accumulate custom modules and extensions nobody fully remembers, so upgrades get slower and riskier over time.

Adobe’s attention drifting from commerce

With Adobe’s roadmap leaning towards its wider experience products, it is fair to ask whether the platform is still moving in the direction your store needs.

The real cost of Magento is the innovation it crowds out

The costs on the invoice are easy to see. The one that quietly hurts most never appears on it: the ideas that stay on the backlog because the team is busy keeping the current store running.

That is the real drag. Not a line item, but the campaigns not shipped, the improvements not tried and the momentum lost while attention goes to upkeep.

On Shopify the platform carries far more of that load, so the team’s energy can go back into growth.

Magento can absorb your best people, and give you no growth for it.

How we run a Magento to Shopify migration

A platform migration is not a single task. It is a business-critical transition that needs to protect revenue, data, integrations, and search visibility. Our approach is designed to reduce disruption and manage risk at every stage.

Audit and planning

We work through your Magento setup, your integrations, your data and how the move could affect your visibility in search and AI. Nothing moves until we know exactly what has to be protected.

Data and integration mapping

Products, customers, orders and every integration are mapped before anything moves. We deal with data quality up front, where it is cheap to fix, rather than after go-live where it is not.

Parallel build and testing

We build and test the Shopify store alongside your live one, so problems are solved before customers ever see them. Your existing store keeps trading throughout.

Controlled launch and support

We cut over in a controlled way and watch closely afterwards. We stay on until the store is settled and your team is comfortable running it.

What our clients say

Our clients work across different industries, but the projects they bring us tend to share the same starting point: a business problem that needs solving, not just a website that needs building.

Start with a conversation about your Magento store

Every migration we run starts with discovery: your current Magento setup, the integrations and custom modules it relies on, your team and where you want the business to go.

Only then do we talk about how a move to Shopify might work. If you are weighing it up, that is the right first step.
