What moves, what changes, and who owns it
A migration proposal should make every workstream explicit. The final responsibility model changes with your team and systems, but this is the operating baseline SDG scopes against.
| Workstream | What moves or changes | Typical owner |
|---|---|---|
| Catalog | Products, variants, attributes, categories, media, pricing rules, and merchandising relationships are mapped into Shopify’s product model. | SDG maps, transforms, imports, and reconciles; your team approves business rules. |
| Customers & orders | Profiles, addresses, order history, consent, account access, and service history move with their relationships intact. | SDG migrates and validates; legal, privacy, and service teams approve retention and access rules. |
| Storefront & content | UX, themes, CMS pages, navigation, search, promotions, and custom buying journeys are rebuilt or simplified for Shopify. | SDG leads architecture, UX, and engineering; brand and ecommerce teams approve experience and content. |
| SEO | URLs, redirects, canonicals, metadata, structured data, internal links, sitemaps, and indexation controls are planned before cutover. | SDG owns the technical plan and validation; your SEO team contributes priorities and sign-off. |
| Integrations | ERP, OMS, PIM, CRM, tax, search, payments, analytics, fulfillment, reviews, and subscription flows are reconnected and tested. | SDG owns Shopify-side architecture and delivery with your system owners and vendors. |
| Launch & stabilization | Rehearsals, delta data, DNS, redirects, checkout, monitoring, rollback criteria, and post-launch triage are run as one cutover plan. | SDG leads the runbook; business, operations, finance, and technology owners approve go-live. |
Adobe Commerce to Shopify migration: plan the enterprise requirements first
For an Adobe Commerce migration, moving products is only one workstream. Company accounts, negotiated pricing, shared catalogs, custom modules, multiple storefronts, and the systems behind each order need a documented destination. We review your actual Adobe Commerce deployment, extensions, and business rules before recommending a Shopify architecture.
- B2B buying: map company structures, buyer permissions, catalogs, contract pricing, quote and approval workflows, and payment terms. Prove which requirements fit Shopify B2B and which need an app, integration, or custom development.
- Store and market structure: inventory websites, stores, store views, languages, currencies, and regional teams. Decide what should share one storefront and what needs a separate operating boundary.
- Custom modules and content: classify each extension and Page Builder experience as something to retain, rebuild, replace, or retire. An Adobe module does not simply transfer into Shopify.
- Data and integrations: reconcile catalog attributes, customer and order relationships, inventory, pricing, fulfillment, subscriptions, and finance against the systems that own them. Account access and payment portability need explicit validation, not assumptions.
- Commercial and launch readiness: align the delivery plan with licensing commitments, data access, integration dependencies, SEO checks, rehearsal results, and a signed-off cutover runbook.

Managed migration services, not just a checklist
A migration checklist helps your team ask the right questions. Managed Magento to Shopify migration services make one senior team accountable for answering them and delivering the work: discovery, data mapping, storefront build, SEO, integrations, rehearsals, cutover, and stabilization.
Use our Magento to Shopify migration checklist when you are building an internal plan. If you need a partner to own implementation and launch delivery, this service is designed for that engagement.
Why brands leave Magento for Shopify
Magento and Adobe Commerce carry a heavy total cost of ownership: hosting, security patches, extension conflicts, release risk, licensing, and a shrinking pool of specialized developers. The platform can still be powerful, but many teams are tired of spending their roadmap budget on maintenance before growth work even begins.
Brands move to Shopify and Shopify Plus for a managed, secure, fast platform with a deep app ecosystem, a modern checkout, and a release cadence that does not require the commerce team to re-fight the same infrastructure battles every quarter. The business case is rarely just platform cost. It is speed: how quickly the team can ship, test, merchandise, integrate, and enter new markets after the move.
A Magento migration that protects your data
A Magento migration is far more than a theme. We move products, variants, custom attributes, categories, customers, addresses, orders, content, media, and the metadata that powers merchandising and search. The work is transformation as much as transfer, because Magento attributes rarely map one-to-one to Shopify native fields.
Before build, we create the field mapping: which data belongs in Shopify products and variants, which belongs in metafields or metaobjects, which should live in a PIM, and which custom module data should not move at all. Then we validate and reconcile the migration so nothing is silently dropped, duplicated, or changed in a way customer service discovers after launch.
SEO is a launch-blocking workstream
Magento-to-Shopify migrations often lose organic traffic because URL structures change and redirect maps are treated as cleanup. We treat SEO as part of the cutover. Every meaningful Magento URL, product, category, CMS page, editorial page, image path with traffic, and legacy campaign page, is mapped to its Shopify destination or deliberately retired.
That includes canonicals, internal links, XML sitemaps, structured data, page titles, collection architecture, and post-launch Search Console monitoring. If organic search is a material acquisition channel, the redirect map is not optional. It is one of the artifacts that determines whether the migration is ready to launch. For the full checklist, read our Magento to Shopify migration guide.
Re-wiring the systems behind Magento
Your Magento store rarely stands alone. It is usually wired into an ERP, OMS, PIM, CRM, tax system, search platform, reviews provider, subscriptions platform, and analytics stack. We re-connect the systems retail runs on so operations never stall through the switch.
That can mean governed order and inventory flows with NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Acumatica, Manhattan, or another system of record; PIM feeds from Salsify, Akeneo, or Pimberly; and event-driven integrations that make failures visible rather than mysterious. Explore our integration practice and our Shopify ERP integration guide for how we think about the operating layer.
From Magento 1, Magento 2, or Adobe Commerce
We migrate from Magento 1, Magento 2 Open Source, and Adobe Commerce onto Shopify or Shopify Plus depending on scale, B2B requirements, checkout needs, catalog complexity, and integration depth. Magento 1 migrations usually carry more legacy risk. Magento 2 migrations often include custom module and checkout analysis. Adobe Commerce migrations often involve price books, company accounts, page builder content, and deeper enterprise governance.
Whether you are a growing brand or a global retailer, the senior team that scopes the migration is the team that delivers it. See our Shopify Plus practice, our broader Shopify migration work, or our case studies.
Evidence from complex Shopify replatforms
Explore Jenni Kayne’s Magento-to-Shopify Plus and Shopify POS program and our three-site launch for Peet’s Coffee, Stumptown Coffee, and Intelligentsia Coffee. The Peet’s case study distinguishes the three-brand rollout from the subscription and enterprise integration work for Peet’s.
For a different source-platform challenge, see Everlane’s proprietary-platform migration or Indigo’s enterprise replatform. We keep those scopes distinct: an AEM, custom-platform, or retail integration project is not presented as an Adobe Commerce migration.
A migration timeline based on the real work
A fixed timeline before discovery is usually a sales promise, not a plan. Catalog size, custom modules, data quality, storefront complexity, integrations, markets, B2B, content volume, and approval cycles determine the schedule. We establish the range after inventorying the estate and identifying the critical path.
Discover and inventory
Document Magento modules, data, URLs, storefront behavior, integrations, operational owners, launch constraints, and the capabilities that must survive.
Map and design
Define Shopify architecture, data mappings, redirect strategy, system ownership, UX, content, testing, and the cutover responsibility model.
Build and rehearse
Develop the storefront and integrations, run full migration rehearsals, reconcile records, validate SEO, and test real operational scenarios.
Cut over deliberately
Freeze the right changes, run final delta migrations, validate redirects and checkout, switch traffic, and execute agreed rollback criteria if necessary.
Stabilize and improve
Monitor orders, data, integrations, Search Console, analytics, and customer-service issues until the new operating baseline is trustworthy.
Cutover without taking the business offline
Launch is sequenced like an enterprise systems migration, not flipped like a switch. We run staging environments, test orders, data rehearsals, redirect validation, integration tests, checkout tests, final delta syncs, DNS planning, rollback criteria, and post-launch monitoring. The storefront keeps selling while the platform changes underneath it.
That is the standard we bring to Magento and Adobe Commerce migrations: calm launch mechanics, clean data, protected search equity, and a platform your team can move faster on the next morning.

Frequently asked questions
Do you migrate Adobe Commerce to Shopify Plus?
Yes. We scope Adobe Commerce to Shopify Plus migrations across catalog and customer data, B2B requirements, storefronts, content, integrations, SEO, testing, cutover, and stabilization. We validate the target architecture against your actual Adobe Commerce deployment and business rules before committing to the build.
Can you migrate our store from Magento to Shopify?
Yes. Migrating from Magento and Adobe Commerce to Shopify and Shopify Plus is core to what we do, including catalog, customer, order, and content data, storefront rebuild, checkout, SEO, and back-office integrations.
Will I lose my SEO rankings migrating off Magento?
A platform change can cause ranking fluctuations; no agency can guarantee unchanged rankings. We reduce migration risk with a complete URL inventory, tested redirects, canonical and structured-data checks, updated internal links and sitemaps, and Search Console monitoring before and after cutover.
Do you migrate Magento 1, Magento 2, and Adobe Commerce?
Yes. We migrate from Magento 1, Magento 2 (Open Source and Commerce), and Adobe Commerce onto Shopify or Shopify Plus, scoped to your catalog size and complexity.
Will my product, customer, and order data transfer?
Yes. We migrate products, variants, customers, orders, and content with their relationships intact, with validation and reconciliation so nothing is silently dropped.
Will my store go down during the migration?
We plan the cutover to minimize disruption, with rehearsals, a final data sync, launch checks, and agreed rollback criteria. Any required freeze or maintenance window is documented with your team before launch; zero downtime is not an unconditional guarantee.
Can you re-integrate our ERP and other systems after migrating?
Yes. We re-wire ERP, OMS, PIM, CRM, tax, payments, search, analytics, and fulfillment connections so operations continue uninterrupted on Shopify.
How long does a Magento to Shopify migration take?
The timeline depends on catalog and content volume, custom Magento modules, data quality, storefront complexity, integrations, markets, B2B requirements, testing, and approval cycles. We establish a defensible range after discovery, then manage the critical path through rehearsals, cutover, and stabilization.
How much does a Magento to Shopify migration cost?
Cost follows scope rather than a reliable per-product formula. The major drivers are data transformation, storefront and content rebuild, custom functionality, integrations, SEO, testing, and cutover support. Our proposal separates those workstreams, assumptions, owners, and optional phases so the estimate can be evaluated clearly.
What is included in Magento to Shopify migration services?
