Magento to Shopify Migration
Move from Magento to Shopify with a structured store migration plan
Switching from Magento to Shopify is a big decision, and the migration is usually the part businesses dread most. What about the historical data? What about payroll? What about the integrations?
We handle the lot. Products, variants, images, prices, customer accounts, order history, SEO metadata, URL redirects and tax configurations — extracted from Magento, cleaned, transformed, and loaded into Shopify. Validated at every step.
HELLO PEOPLE is a Perth-based software consultancy. We deliver fixed-price migrations for businesses across Australia — Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and everywhere in between.
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.
-
Week 0
Discovery & Mapping
15-minute scoping call. We map your Magento setup, the data structure that needs to translate to Shopify and the cleanup decisions to make on the way. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.
-
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.
-
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.
Sound Familiar?
Why businesses delay this migration
These are the fears we hear every week. All of them are solvable with proper scoping and a structured migration process.
Downtime during the switch
Your team needs to keep working. Nobody can afford a week where the system is offline and invoices cannot go out or staff cannot be rostered.
Messy data in the old system
Duplicates, outdated contacts, broken formatting — if you bring that mess into the new system, you have just migrated the problem.
Reporting continuity
Your accountant, auditor or management team needs historical reports to still make sense after the move. Broken reporting is a deal-breaker.
Connected systems break
Integrations with other platforms — CRM, payroll, eCommerce — need to work with the new system from day one. Not after a few weeks of scrambling.
Cost blowouts
The migration was quoted at one price but kept growing. Scope creep, unexpected complexity, hidden charges — the project ends up costing double what was promised.
What We Migrate
Magento to Shopify migration — what is included
Every migration is different, but here is what we typically cover for a Magento to Shopify conversion.
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 migrations
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.

FAQs
Common questions about Magento to Shopify migration and conversion
How much does a Magento to Shopify migration cost?
Every migration is different — data volume, complexity, connected integrations and the platforms involved all affect the scope. We assess your specific Magento setup, map out exactly what needs to happen, and give you a fixed price before any work starts. No hourly billing, no open-ended estimates. Book a free no-obligation scoping call and we will give you a clear number.
How long does the migration take?
A typical Magento to Shopify migration takes 3 – 6 weeks. We give you a realistic timeline during scoping — not a best-case estimate.
Will we lose any data during the switch?
No. We extract everything from Magento, validate counts and balances at each step, and keep your source system untouched until you are confident the migration is complete. There is always a rollback option.
Can our team keep working during the migration?
Yes. We plan the migration so your team continues using Magento until cutover. We run parallel systems where needed so there is no operational gap.
Do you clean up our data before migrating?
Yes — data cleansing is included. Duplicates are merged, dead records removed, formats standardised and field mappings validated before anything moves to Shopify.
Do you handle the integrations with other systems?
Yes. Any platforms connected to Magento — accounting, CRM, payroll, eCommerce — need reconnecting to Shopify. We handle the full integration layer so everything works from day one.
Is our data secure during the migration?
Yes. All data is processed by our Australian team. We use secure, encrypted connections and never store credentials. Your Magento data is not modified — we extract a copy for transformation and loading.
Do you only work with Perth businesses?
We are based in Perth but work Australia-wide. Around half our clients are in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane. Remote delivery is standard for us.
