Magento to Shopify

Magento to Shopify, without the custom code.

Magento 1 stores are long past end of life, and Magento 2 upgrades and hosting cost more each year. Moving to Shopify means deciding what the custom code was really for.

01 · Catalogue

Configurable and bundle products.

Magento attributes, configurable products and bundles mapped to Shopify variants, metafields and bundles, with nothing lost in between.

02 · Customisation

Custom modules replaced.

Every extension listed and matched to a Shopify feature, an app or a small custom build, or retired if nobody uses it.

03 · Stores

Multiple store views.

Magento store views for different countries or brands planned as Shopify Markets, separate stores or Shopify Plus expansion stores.

04 · URLs

Magento URL patterns.

Category paths, .html suffixes and layered navigation URLs all mapped, so links and rankings follow the products.

WooCommerce to Shopify

WooCommerce to Shopify, without the plugin pile.

WooCommerce stores often move when updates, hosting and plugin conflicts start costing more than the shop can bear.

01 · Plugins

Plugins matched to apps.

Product options, subscriptions, reviews, wishlists and shipping plugins matched to a lean set of Shopify apps or built-in features.

02 · Content

WordPress content kept.

Posts, pages and guides moved across, or kept on WordPress if the content side is better staying where it is.

03 · URLs

WooCommerce URL patterns.

/product/ and /product-category/ URLs, tag pages and blog posts mapped to their Shopify equivalents and tested as 301s.

04 · Other platforms

BigCommerce and Wix too.

BigCommerce and Wix stores follow the same plan: data mapped, redirects tested and tracking rebuilt before launch.

What carries over

Data, redirects, SEO and tracking.

Every Shopify migration covers the same four things, whichever platform you are leaving.

01 · Data

Data mapping.

Products, variants, customers, orders, reviews and content mapped field by field and checked after import.

02 · Redirects

Redirects.

Every URL with traffic or links mapped to its new home and tested as a 301 before switch-over.

03 · SEO

SEO parity.

Titles, descriptions, headings, copy, structured data and internal links compared page by page with the old site.

04 · Tracking

Tracking.

GA4, Tag Manager, consent mode and ad conversions rebuilt and checked against real orders on the new store.

Launch plan

Plan the move, then make it.

Nothing switches over until the data, redirects and tracking have been tested on the new store.

  1. 01

    Migration audit

    We crawl the old site, list every URL with traffic or links, review apps and integrations and agree what moves and what retires.

  2. 02

    Build and import

    The new store is built and the data imported in test runs, then checked product by product and order by order.

  3. 03

    Parity and testing

    Redirects, SEO parity, checkout, emails, apps and tracking tested end to end, with a launch checklist signed off.

  4. 04

    Switch and watch

    A planned switch-over at a quiet time, a final data sync, then daily checks on search, sales and tracking for the first weeks.

Case study

Redirects and SEO · Luxury watch dealer

600

Dead product URLs found and redirected

A luxury pre-owned watch dealer had around 600 dead product URLs with no redirects. We tested 900 product IDs, wrote an 8-ticket developer brief and verified the release with a live crawl. It is the same redirect discipline we bring to every migration.

  • 900 product IDs tested
  • Around 600 dead URLs found with no redirects
  • Duplicate titles and missing canonicals fixed
  • Release verified with a live crawl
  • Search impressions up 7.4× against a locked baseline

Client anonymised. Technical fixes shipped by the client's developer from our brief.

Questions

Questions about Shopify migration.

Click a question to open it.

You get a timeline with the fixed quote after the audit. It depends most on the number of products, custom features and integrations. Magento stores often carry years of custom code, so the audit decides what is rebuilt, what an app replaces and what retires.

Usually less time than Magento, and you get a firm timeline with the quote. WooCommerce data moves cleanly, but plugins that add product options, subscriptions or bookings need a Shopify equivalent agreed before the build starts.

Not if the move is planned properly. We crawl the old site, map every URL that earns traffic or links to its new home, keep titles, content and structured data at parity, test the redirects before switch-over, and watch search data daily for the weeks after launch.

No platform can move passwords, because they are stored encrypted. Customer accounts, addresses and order history move across, and we plan an invitation email so customers can activate their new account in one click.

Products, variants, images, collections, customers, order history, reviews, blog posts, pages and discount codes. Anything that cannot be moved cleanly is listed in the audit and agreed with you in advance.

Migrations start from £6,000, with Shopify Plus and larger projects given a fixed quote. Most begin with a £1,950 migration audit that produces the redirect map and a costed plan, and is credited against the build.
