Our Migration Guarantees
Three promises we always keep
Every migration we run comes with three non-negotiable commitments. We've delivered on all three across 40+ migrations.
100%
data accuracy rate
Zero data loss
Every product, variant, order, customer record, and piece of metadata is transferred and validated against the source. We run automated checks before go-live.
0
ranking drops on average
SEO rankings protected
Full URL redirect mapping, meta data transfer, canonical handling, and structured data rebuild. We don't just move your content — we protect what it's worth to you in organic traffic.
<15min
average cutover window
No launch downtime
We run a live migration on a staging URL, validate everything, then switch DNS with a planned cutover window. Average downtime on launch day is under 15 minutes.
Migration Process
The migration pipeline
Our structured 7-stage migration process has been refined across 40+ Magento to Shopify projects. No shortcuts.
1
Discovery & Migration Roadmap
We audit your Magento setup — data volume, custom features, extensions, and integrations — and produce a written migration plan with timeline and cost. This is available as a fixed-fee standalone service.
2
Data extraction & cleaning
We extract products, variants, orders, customers, and metadata from Magento. Duplicates are removed, data is normalised, and we flag any records that need review before import.
3
Feature mapping
Every Magento feature — layered navigation, customer groups, price rules, custom attributes — is mapped to its Shopify equivalent or a custom-built replacement.
4
Shopify build & data import
We build the new Shopify store and import all data in structured phases. Products first, then customers, then orders, with validation checks at each stage.
5
API & integration re-build
All third-party integrations — ERPs, CRMs, payment gateways, email platforms — are rebuilt or reconnected to the new Shopify store.
6
Redirect mapping & SEO audit
Every old URL gets a 301 redirect. We validate all redirects, check canonical tags, rebuild structured data, and confirm no SEO signals are lost.
7
UAT, cutover & launch monitoring
Full user acceptance testing on staging. DNS cutover with a planned maintenance window. We monitor live for 72 hours post-launch and respond to any issues immediately.

Magento vs Shopify
The real reasons brands migrate
Why businesses make the switch — and what they gain on the other side.
| Factor | Magento 2 | Shopify / Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Server management | Self-managed or Managed Cloud | ✓ Fully hosted — no server ops |
| Update complexity | Complex patch process, high risk | ✓ Automatic platform updates |
| Checkout uptime | Dependent on your server | ✓ 99.99% SLA guaranteed by Shopify |
| Extension ecosystem | Thousands, inconsistent quality | ✓ Curated app store, reviewed apps |
| Developer availability | Magento devs scarce and expensive | ✓ Large Shopify partner ecosystem |
| Total cost of ownership | High — server + dev + patches | ✓ Predictable monthly subscription |
| Time to market (new features) | Weeks to months | ✓ Days to weeks |
| B2B capabilities (Plus) | Available but complex | ✓ Native B2B features in Shopify Plus |
