03 · migrate
Magento → Shopify Plus.
Data, URLs, SEO, and every integration re-platformed. Done by a senior architect who has shipped Magento builds since 2016 — not a junior team reading the docs for the first time.
// phases
Six phases, one cutover.
01 · Audit & plan
Full inventory of M2 extensions, custom modules, integrations, URL map, SEO value, and the scary parts nobody documented. Two-week fixed-fee audit.
02 · Rebuild on Shopify Plus
Theme, checkout extensions, Shopify Functions, custom apps where Shopify's primitives stop. No re-inventing — buy apps where apps are good enough.
03 · Data migration
Customers, orders, products, historical GMV, reviews, loyalty points. Validated row-by-row with reconciliation scripts before cutover.
04 · SEO preservation
1:1 URL redirect map, canonical strategy, schema carried over, sitemap regenerated. The goal is zero organic loss 90 days post-launch.
05 · Integration re-platform
NetSuite, ERP, PIM, 3PL, tax, Klaviyo, subscriptions — every integration rebuilt on Shopify Plus primitives or Celigo flows.
06 · Cutover + stabilization
Low-traffic weekend cutover with a rehearsed rollback. Two weeks of on-call with me in the engineering chat before hand-off.
// risk reducers
What keeps this from blowing up.
- Fixed-fee audit before any commitment.
- Dry-run data migration on staging, full reconciliation report.
- Rehearsed rollback plan before cutover.
- 90-day organic traffic guarantee — we match or better pre-launch.
// faq
Migration questions, direct answers.
- How much does a Magento to Shopify Plus migration cost?
- Scoped builds start at $30K for a lean M2 store and run into six figures for complex B2B / multi-brand / heavily-customized M2. Expect most mid-market moves to land between $45K and $120K all-in.
- How long does a Magento to Shopify Plus migration take?
- Typically 10 to 16 weeks from kickoff to launch. Faster is possible for simple stores; most real-world M2 builds need the middle range because the data, SEO, and integration work is the slow part.
- Will we lose SEO traffic after moving from Magento?
- Not if the migration is architected right. I build a 1:1 redirect map, carry canonical and schema signals, and run GSC side-by-side for 90 days post-launch. Expect neutral-to-positive organic within a quarter.
- Do we have to rebuild every integration from scratch?
- No. The goal is to keep the systems your business runs on — NetSuite, 3PL, Klaviyo, PIM — and rebuild only the connection layer. Some integrations collapse into Shopify native features and go away entirely.
- Is Adobe Commerce support really ending?
- Magento Open Source enters reduced support in 2026, with security patches only. Adobe Commerce is supported but at rapidly rising TCO. Most mid-market merchants are re-platforming rather than paying the upgrade tax.
