Magento to Shopify migration — even with complex catalogs
Magento 2 stores often look impossible to migrate. They aren’t. We’ve moved configurable products with 30+ attributes, multi-store setups, B2B customer groups and tier pricing onto Shopify (Plus where required) without losing data or SEO.

Why Magento merchants choose Shopify in 2026
Most merchants we work with do not move to Shopify because they hate Magento — they move because their store has outgrown the platform's natural ceiling. Hosting fragility, plugin/extension conflicts, slow checkout, expensive developer talent, security patching that nobody owns — these are the recurring themes. Shopify's hosted-platform model removes that operational weight and lets the team focus on growth instead of uptime.
Common reasons to migrate
- Checkout conversion. Shopify's checkout is consistently 5–15% higher converting than custom-built checkouts on Magento, especially on mobile.
- Core Web Vitals. A Shopify Dawn-based theme typically scores LCP < 2.0s out of the box. Magento stores require sustained performance work to match it.
- Security and compliance. Shopify is PCI-DSS Level 1 by default. No patching cycles, no plugin CVEs to chase.
- App ecosystem. 8,000+ vetted apps with revenue-share economics that align with merchant success.
- Total cost of ownership. For most stores in the $1–25M GMV range, Shopify Plus's all-in monthly cost is 40–60% lower than the equivalent Magento hosting + dev + extension stack over three years.
What does not migrate cleanly (and how we handle it)
Honest list of things that need adaptation rather than copy-paste:
- Subscriptions. Native subscriptions on Magento → Shopify Subscriptions app or Recharge. We migrate the subscriber list; live billing handover is staged.
- Custom checkout flows. Shopify's checkout is locked down (intentionally — it is why it converts well). Most "custom checkout" requirements get satisfied via Shopify Functions or post-purchase apps.
- Email design templates. Rebuilt as Shopify Notifications + your chosen email tool (Klaviyo, Omnisend, Shopify Email).
- Search & filtering. Native Shopify Search & Discovery covers most cases; Algolia or Boost AI Search for advanced needs.
Cost ranges (so you know what to expect)
Typical Magento → Shopify migration budgets:
- Small store (under 500 products, simple catalog, basic theme): $1,500 – $4,000
- Mid-market (500 – 5,000 products, variants, customers, orders, redirects, mild theme rebuild): $4,000 – $12,000
- Enterprise (5,000+ products, B2B, multi-store, full theme rebuild, app rewrites): $12,000 – $40,000+

Common questions about Shopify migration
We are on Magento 2 with a complex attribute set. Can Shopify handle it?
Yes — Shopify has matured significantly for complex catalogs. We map Magento attribute sets to Shopify product options + metafields (so search and filtering keep working), configurable products to variants, and grouped / bundled products to either Shopify Bundles or app-backed equivalents.
What about B2B customer groups and tier pricing?
We migrate Magento customer groups into Shopify B2B (Shopify Plus) with company accounts, location-level catalogs, and price lists. On standard Shopify we use customer tags + a price-list app like B2B Wholesale Club. Net-30 / Net-60 terms are wired via Kanmon or Drip Capital.
We use Magento 2 multi-store / multi-website. Does Shopify support that?
Yes via Shopify Markets (or Shopify Plus expansion stores). We map Magento storeviews to Markets with locale + currency + payment routing, or to separate stores when isolation is required. Shared catalog with per-region overrides is straightforward.
How do you handle Magento URL rewrites and SEO?
We export Magento URL rewrites table + every product / category / CMS URL, then write a complete 301 map to Shopify URLs. This is critical because Magento URLs are typically deep and brand-built; we preserve every one. Search Console coverage report typically recovers within 14 days.
What about Magento extensions we have invested in?
We audit your installed extensions and map each to a Shopify equivalent: search → Algolia / Boost AI Search, layered nav → Shopify Search & Discovery + theme, payment → Shopify Payments / Stripe, ERP → app or middleware. Custom extensions usually become Shopify Functions or a small custom app.
Is Magento 2 still worth migrating from in 2026?
For most merchants, yes. Magento 2's end-of-life roadmap, hosting costs, and developer scarcity are pushing brands to Shopify Plus where the TCO is 40–60% lower over three years. Exception: very heavy custom-quote B2B flows where Magento Commerce native B2B still has an edge.
