How it runs

A Magento to Shopify migration, end to end

Three stages. No surprises. Your live Magento data stays untouched until cutover, delivered personally by the founder.

  1. Week 0

    Discovery & Mapping

    15-minute scoping call. We map your Magento 1 or Magento 2 store, the catalogue, extension list, URL redirect map, and ERP or B2B integrations that must translate to Shopify Plus or Shopify and the cleanup decisions to make on the way. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.

  2. Weeks 1–N

    Sandbox Migration & Parallel-Run

    Full migration run in a sandbox Shopify org first. Both systems then run in parallel for two weeks, every transaction, contact, balance and report cross-checked against the source. No risk to live operations.

  3. Cutover

    Go-Live & Handover

    Production cutover on a planned window, typically a weekend. Team training, monitoring active, 30 days post-launch support. Magento safely retired with full history preserved.

Magento → Shopify: what actually moves

Every migration project starts from a set of concrete data on the source platform and ends with the same data, cleaned and validated, on the target. Here is the shape of that move.

Today
Magento

Where your data lives today, in Magento.

  • Chart of accounts, tax codes and tracking dimensions
  • Contacts, customers and suppliers (with duplicates)
  • Historical transactions, invoices, bills and reconciliations
  • Payroll data, leave balances and STP history
  • Connected integrations (CRM, ecom, payroll, ops)
  • Custom reports and dashboards that finance depends on
After migration
Shopify

The same data, cleaned and validated, in Shopify, ready for day one.

  • Chart of accounts restructured to fit reporting needs
  • Deduplicated contacts, ready to use
  • Full transaction history with references intact
  • Payroll continuity through cutover, STP unbroken
  • Integrations reconnected, working from day one
  • Reports rebuilt to match, same numbers, same periods

What actually comes across

A Magento conversion is not one file. It is everything the business has done so far.

Moving the balances is the easy part. The work is the history: the invoices still open, the codes that do not exist in Shopify, the attachments nobody wants to lose, and the customer records that have drifted over years. All of it has to arrive reconciled, not approximately.

What has to move

  • Magento data
  • Customers and suppliers
  • Open invoices and bills
  • Transaction history
  • Chart of accounts
What we do

One verified conversion

Codes mapped to their Shopify equivalents, records deduplicated on rules you approve, then both systems run side by side until the balances agree. Cutover happens on a window you choose.

See how a conversion runs

What you get

  • Opening balances that reconcile on day one, not after adjustment
  • History you can still search, not a PDF archive nobody opens
  • A Shopify file your accountant will accept at year end
What We Migrate

Magento to Shopify migration services, what is included

Every Magento to Shopify migration is different, but here is what our Magento 2 to Shopify migration typically covers across catalogue, customers, SEO, extensions, and B2B or ERP rebuild.

Product and catalogue migration

Products, variants, sizes, colours, images, descriptions, prices and inventory levels, all migrated to Shopify with URLs and SEO metadata preserved.

Collections, categories and tags are mapped so your store structure stays logical.

Customer and order history

Customer accounts, addresses, order history, wish lists and loyalty data, transferred so returning customers see their full history.

Guest orders are migrated as records for reporting and remarketing.

SEO preservation and redirects

301 redirects for every product, collection and page URL so search rankings transfer cleanly. Meta titles, descriptions and canonical tags are migrated.

We validate that Google Search Console shows no 404 spike after launch.

Payment and shipping setup

Payment gateways, shipping rules, tax configurations and fulfilment integrations, rebuilt on Shopify and tested before launch.

If you use Xero, MYOB or a 3PL, those connections are re-established.

Design and theme migration

Your store design is rebuilt or adapted on Shopify. We match the look and feel while taking advantage of the new platform features.

Mobile responsiveness, performance and conversion-focused layouts are a priority.

Pricing

How we price Magento to Shopify migration services

Price moves with product and variant volume, redirects, theme or app rebuilds, extension replacement, connected systems, and how tight the cutover window is. Here is how we scope it.

Migration audit call

Tell us what you are running in Magento, what must survive in Shopify, and which catalog, SEO, or app behaviours cannot break. We will tell you whether it fits one fixed-price migration or needs phased delivery.

Fixed-price migration scope

Once catalog size, extension dependencies, SEO rules, and cutover risk are clear, you get fixed-price scope covering cleansing, migration, validation, and go-live. No open-ended estimates.

Phase catalog, history, and integrations separately

If the move includes heavy catalog work, extension replacement, or connected systems, we can split it into core store data first, then history, then integrations. Each phase has its own price and sign-off.

Case Study

Multi-entity accounting migration that finished ahead of BAS deadline

A Perth-based services group with 60+ staff moved off their legacy accounting stack to a modern cloud platform, taking multiple entities across in one coordinated cut. Chart of accounts consolidated, payroll continuity preserved through cutover, and BAS lodgement continued on time.

We had been putting off the switch for over a year. They made it painless, scoped it clearly, migrated everything, and our team was up and running in Shopify within weeks. The data was cleaner than it had been in years.

Our Process

How the Magento to Shopify migration runs, step by step

A structured process so you know what is happening at each stage. No ambiguity, no surprises.

  1. Assess your Magento data

    We audit data quality, volume, complexity and connected integrations. You get a clear scope and a fixed price before anything starts.

  2. Cleanse and prepare

    Duplicates merged, dead records removed, formats standardised. Your data is cleaned in Magento before anything moves.

  3. Configure Shopify

    Shopify is set up to match your business, accounts, custom fields, user roles, tax settings. No generic template.

  4. Migrate data

    Products, variants, images, prices, customer accounts, order history, SEO metadata, URL redirects and tax configurations, extracted, transformed and loaded into Shopify. Validated against the source at every step.

  5. Test and validate

    Balances checked. Reports compared. Edge cases tested. Your team reviews the data in Shopify before we go anywhere near production.

  6. Go live and support

    We cut over at the right moment and stay close for the first month. Magento stays accessible as a reference until you are confident.

FAQs

Common questions about Magento to Shopify migration and conversion

How much do your Magento to Shopify migration services cost?

It depends on catalogue size, extension count, B2B or ERP rebuild scope, and how much order history moves. Every Magento to Shopify migration is scoped up front and quoted at a fixed price before work starts. No hourly billing. Book a scoping call and we will size it against your Magento 1 or Magento 2 store.

How long does a Magento to Shopify migration take?

About 3 to 6 weeks for a standard Magento 2 to Shopify migration. Adobe Commerce with B2B, PWA, or ERP integration rebuilds can push it to 8 to 12. We commit to a realistic date during scoping, not a best-case one.

Do you handle Magento 1 to Shopify migration as well as Magento 2?

Yes. Magento 1 (M1), Magento 2 (M2), Magento Open Source, and Adobe Commerce all move to Shopify or Shopify Plus. Legacy M1 stores get a database extract into a staging area first, then loaded into Shopify with URL redirects preserved.

Will we lose products, orders, or SEO equity in the switch?

No. Products (simple, configurable, virtual, bundle), variants, customers, orders, invoices, credit memos, and SEO metadata all migrate. We put 301 redirects on every product, category, and CMS URL so search rankings carry across.

Can our store keep taking orders during the migration?

Yes. Magento keeps trading right up to cutover weekend. We run Shopify in parallel for validation, then cut DNS on a low-traffic window.

What happens to Magento extensions on the Shopify side?

Every extension maps to a Shopify app, Shopify Function, or custom app build. We audit the extension list up front, propose Shopify equivalents, and build bespoke apps where nothing off-the-shelf fits.

Do you handle ERP or B2B integrations after the switch?

Yes. NetSuite, Dynamics 365, SAP, EDI, and Xero or MYOB connections all get rebuilt on Shopify. B2B company accounts, tiered pricing, and quote workflows carry into Shopify Plus B2B.

Is our store data secure during the migration?

Yes. An Australian team handles the migration on encrypted connections. Credentials are never stored in plain text and the Magento source data stays read-only through the whole project.

Do you only work with Perth businesses?

No. We are Perth-based but deliver Australia-wide. Roughly half our Magento to Shopify migration work is for Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane stores. Remote delivery is standard.

Which system should we move to after Magento?

Where people go after Magento varies, and we scope the move to whichever system you have chosen: Xero, MYOB AccountRight, MYOB Business, MYOB Acumatica, QuickBooks Online, Reckon, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sage 50, Sage 300, Sage Intacct, Odoo, Zoho Books, FreshBooks, Saasu, SAP Business One, Oracle and Workday. If the one you have picked is a poor fit for how you actually work, we will say so before you have paid for a conversion into it.

What actually decides how long a migration takes?

The parts that decide the timeline are the same wherever you land: the chart of accounts, the general ledger, the customer and supplier master, open purchase orders and sales orders, opening balances and payroll history, and how much history you export out of the old system and import into the new one, rather than leave behind in a readable archive. Hosted files, local files and vendor exports each come out differently.

What if Magento is end of life or out of support?

If you are looking because Magento is too old, out of support or reaching end of life, that is a question of timing rather than whether. It is worth comparing the alternatives and moving away on your own schedule rather than on the one the vendor picks for you.
