I have run Magento, WooCommerce and BigCommerce migrations to Shopify, and in the other direction too. The largest catalog I have moved was around 140,000 SKUs. The catalog is never the hard part. These five are, and they are what I get called in to clean up after a DIY exit or a generic migration shop.
No 1:1 redirect map. Magento URL structure (/category/subcategory/product.html) doesn't match Shopify's (/products/handle), and a generic CSV import skips the redirects. Organic traffic drops 30-60% in week one and never fully recovers.
Configurable products mapped wrong. Magento's configurable + simple product model maps to Shopify's variant model badly when done by automated tools — variant SKUs end up duplicated, inventory desyncs, prices wrong.
Customer passwords handled the old way. Magento hashes are not Shopify hashes, so passwords never transfer. Most shops still answer this with a mass force-reset email at launch, which is a churn event you chose to have. Shopify's passwordless customer accounts remove the problem entirely: the customer enters their email, gets a code, and is in. No reset wave, no locked-out repeat buyers.
B2B agreed-rate pricing lost. Magento B2B has rich per-company price tiers. Shopify models this with companies, catalogs and payment terms, and since 2026 that is available on the standard paid plans, not only Plus. A naive migration still loses every customer-specific deal, and a lazy quote still tells you to buy Plus when you may not need it.
Schema and meta tags wiped. The new Shopify theme doesn't carry over Magento's product schema or per-product meta titles, so all the SEO work from years past evaporates.
A full migration covers data, design, integrations, and SEO preservation. Below is in scope by default; we trim things you don't need on the scope call.
Read of your Magento install — version, extensions, traffic, top URLs, B2B logic, integration surface. Output: a migration spec doc with the data model and SEO plan.
Build the new Shopify on a development store. Migrate test data, validate the catalog, design the theme. You see working pages by week 2.
A written cutover plan with rollback procedure, DNS schedule, redirect deployment, Search Console resubmission. Cutover happens during a low-traffic window.
Daily search-rankings + organic-sessions monitoring for 30-60-90 days. Recovery report with charts. We adjust redirects and on-page SEO as needed.
No fluff — the specifics buyers want before booking a call. If yours isn't here, ask on the call.
A clean migration with a proper 1:1 redirect map sees 5-15% temporary drop in week 2-3, fully recovered by week 8. A messy migration without proper redirects sees 30-60% drop with partial recovery over 6-12 months. The redirects checklist on the blog spells out the discipline: /magento-to-shopify-seo-redirects-checklist/.
6-8 weeks for a standard 5K SKU catalog, 8-12 weeks for 50K SKUs with B2B, 12-20 weeks for enterprise. The variable is your data quality (clean catalog migrates faster), B2B complexity, and integration surface (each ERP/WMS/CRM integration adds time).
Yes — that's the default. We build the new Shopify on a development store. Your Magento keeps running until cutover, which happens on a planned window. Rollback is supported in the first 24 hours if anything is materially wrong.
Not any more, and this is the part most migration quotes are still getting wrong. Magento password hashes are not portable to Shopify, so passwords genuinely cannot move. The old answer was a mass forced reset at launch, which locks people out and costs you repeat orders in the first week. Shopify's passwordless customer accounts remove the problem: your customer types their email, gets a six-digit code, and is in. Order history attaches by email match. I launch migrations on those by default, so there is no reset wave at all.
It gets rebuilt with Shopify companies, catalogs and payment terms, plus Functions where the pricing logic is genuinely custom: agreed-rate price lists per company, NET-30 terms, draft-order workflow. The 2026 change worth knowing is that this is no longer Plus-only. The standard paid plans now carry B2B, with a cap on how many catalogs you get, so a lot of wholesale migrations no longer need Plus at all. Plus still wins for unlimited catalogs and the more advanced B2B checkout work. I check which side of that line you are on before quoting, because assuming Plus costs you about $2,000 a month.
Yes — M1 is end-of-life and the data export tools are different. The catalog model is similar enough that migration is straightforward, but we extract via direct database queries instead of Magento's admin export (which is slow and error-prone on M1). M1 → Shopify is one of the higher-volume migrations I run; the path is well-trodden.
Often, yes, and the answer changed in 2026. B2B is no longer Plus-only: companies, catalogs, volume pricing and payment terms are on the standard paid plans now, capped at a small number of catalogs. So the old rule that any B2B store must buy Plus is out of date, and anyone still quoting it that way is costing you around $2,000 a month for nothing. Plus still earns its price for genuinely complex checkout logic, multi-store architecture, high volume, and dedicated support. I will tell you honestly which side of that line you are on.
Per-extension assessment during discovery. Some have direct Shopify equivalents (Klaviyo, Yotpo, Searchanise). Some need a custom rebuild on Shopify (B2B logic, custom checkout, ERP sync). A few have no good replacement and we'll surface alternatives. The discovery report names every one.

Extremely patient and extremely professional. And the result is amazing! Highly recommended!
Great experience overall. The cost estimation calculator works well for our B2B needs and does exactly what we discussed. It's simple to use, and the logic behind the calculations is solid. There were a couple of small tweaks needed after delivery, but the seller was quick to respond and fixed everything.
The turn around was so quick. Thanks for the clean pixel perfect design fixes. I would highly recommend Javaid for the design/development work.
