Our Magento to Shopify Migration Process

We begin with discovery and scoping, reviewing the Magento store, catalogue, integrations, customer journeys and migration risks. This provides a practical plan for data transfer, the Shopify architecture and the work required before launch.

The build moves through catalogue mapping, theme design and development, rehearsal and quality assurance before launch and stabilisation. Each stage is reviewed against the live-store requirements so the team has a clear route through migration.

Reasons to Migrate from Magento to Shopify

Why Brands Move Away from Magento

Magento stores can require ongoing attention across hosting, updates, maintenance and store administration. A migration is an opportunity to review how the storefront and ecommerce operations can be managed more simply.

Shopify provides a hosted platform and a broad ecommerce ecosystem, while Shopify Plus can support brands with more complex operational, international or integration requirements.

Our Magento to Shopify Migration Process

A Clear Path from Audit to Launch

Discovery and scoping establish the project objectives, required functionality and migration risks. Catalogue mapping and data-transfer planning then define how products, customers, orders, content and URLs should move into Shopify.

Theme design and build are followed by rehearsal and quality assurance, then a controlled launch and stabilisation phase to review the new store in use.

How We Manage Magento to Shopify Data Migration

Products, Customers and Orders

Data planning can cover products, collections and categories, variants, options, SKUs, images, customers, addresses and order history. CMS content, URL information and SEO-related data are also reviewed where relevant to the source store.

Each transfer is validated after import. The scope is agreed against the Magento data model rather than assuming every field can move unchanged into Shopify.

Shopify SEO Migration

Protecting Search Visibility During a Magento to Shopify Migration

SEO migration work reviews Magento URL structures alongside Shopify architecture, redirect mapping, metadata, internal links and crawlability. Structured data and image alt text can be reviewed where they are available and relevant.

Technical SEO QA and launch checks help identify redirects, missing pages and other search-critical issues as the new Shopify store goes live.

Before launch, the Shopify store should be reviewed for migrated data, storefront functionality, responsive behaviour, integrations, redirects, technical SEO requirements and other agreed project requirements before traffic is moved to the new store.
