Magento to Shopify Migration Stop paying to keep
Magento running

We won't quote you an average, because every Magento bill is different and an average would be a number we had made up. What we will do is put the two side by side. On Magento the costs are yours to carry: hosting, security patches, extension licences, and whatever developer time keeps the thing upright. On Shopify it is one published price: £25 to £344 a month billed monthly, depending on plan, with hosting, security, updates and support included, or from £1,800 a month for Plus. Those are Shopify's own published monthly prices, read from shopify.com on 8 September 2026. Send us your last three months of Magento invoices and we will work out what the move is actually worth to your store, and how long the migration takes to pay for itself on your numbers, before you commit to anything. If you are coming off Adobe Commerce with B2B catalogues or multiple storefronts, the fair comparison is against the enterprise tier instead: what Shopify Plus costs and when it's worth it sets out that case, including the times it isn't.

Not if the redirect work is done properly, and that work is the largest single piece of the migration. Every Magento URL is mapped to its Shopify equivalent, your existing URL rewrite table is lifted wholesale, the 301s go in, the metadata transfers and the sitemaps are resubmitted. Expect a few weeks of turbulence while Google recrawls. What we won't do is promise you a position: nobody can, and the migrations that lose ground lose it in the redirect map, not in the platform. So we map every URL rather than sampling, record a ranking baseline before cutover, and monitor Search Console daily through launch week. How migration SEO works covers the baseline, the redirect map and the checklist we run before any cutover.

We audit every Magento extension you run and identify its Shopify app equivalent. Most functionality has a better, cheaper alternative in Shopify's app ecosystem. For genuinely custom features, we can build a Shopify app or use Shopify Flow for the automation.

Four to eight weeks of build for a standard Magento store, agreed against your catalogue at quote stage. Complex multi-store Magento Enterprise installations sit at the top of that band or above it: custom integrations and large catalogues are what move the number, and you will know yours before you commit. Your existing store keeps trading right up to the switch.

Yes, and you should migrate soon. Magento 1 reached end-of-life in June 2020 and receives no security updates, so an unsupported Magento 1 store puts your business and your customers' data at serious risk. We have migrated stores from EKM, WooCommerce, Wix and bespoke builds, and Magento's export quirks are a variation on patterns we already handle through the API.

All customer data transfers to Shopify, including names, emails, addresses and order history. Customers will need to set a new password on their first login (for security, passwords can't be migrated), but their account information and purchase history are intact.
