eCommerce Platforms We Migrate to Shopify

We've migrated stores from every major eCommerce platform. Each migration follows a platform-specific process because data structures, URL formats, and extension ecosystems differ significantly. WooCommerce stores often accumulate plugin conflicts and performance debt — we move catalogs, customers, orders, blog content, and SEO to Shopify with full URL redirects. Magento (Adobe Commerce) migrations carry the highest complexity — custom modules, multi-store setups, configurable products, and ERP integrations. BigCommerce migrations are typically faster thanks to cleaner exports. Salesforce Commerce Cloud migrations are enterprise-scale projects mapping SFCC logic to Shopify Plus capabilities.

What We Migrate to Shopify

Every Shopify migration project includes a full data transfer audit. A standard migration includes products, customers, orders, SEO metadata, content pages, blog posts, reviews, and discount codes. Customer passwords cannot be directly migrated — customers receive a password reset email on first login.

We implement 301 redirects, map legacy URLs, and carry over vital data. Product descriptions, image alt text, order history, and category content are retained during Shopify data migration. We perform SEO audits before and after launch so you don't lose rankings.

6-Phase Process

Our 6-Phase Shopify Migration Process

A professional Shopify migration services follow six phases: discovery and audit, data mapping and test migration, theme design, SEO preservation, QA and launch, and post-migration support. The process typically takes 4–12 weeks depending on store complexity.

Discovery & Audit

We analyze your current store — products, customers, orders, extensions, integrations, SEO structure, and custom functionality. You receive a migration specification with scope, timeline, risk assessment, and cost estimate.

1 week Audit

Data Mapping & Test Migration

We map your current data architecture to Shopify's structure. A test migration validates accuracy — product counts, image counts, customer records, and order history are verified against the source platform.

1–2 weeks Validation

Theme Design & Development

We build your new Shopify theme — from scratch or based on your existing design. Every page is optimized for mobile performance, Core Web Vitals, and conversion on Online Store 2.0 architecture.

3–6 weeks Build

SEO Preservation

Before launch, we create a complete URL redirect map (301s), transfer meta titles and descriptions, set up canonical tags, implement structured data, and prepare the new sitemap for Search Console submission.

In parallel 301s

QA & Launch

Comprehensive testing: data validation, checkout flows, payment processing, shipping calculations, mobile responsiveness, and performance benchmarks. Launch date is planned and coordinated with your team.

1–2 weeks QA

Post-Migration Support

After launch we monitor for broken redirects, missing data, crawl errors, and performance regressions. We track Search Console index status and ranking changes for 4+ weeks post-launch. Average client stays 12+ months.

FAQ

FAQs About Shopify Migration

What does the Shopify migration process involve from start to finish?

Our Shopify migration services follow a structured, step-by-step process to ensure a seamless transition with minimal disruption. First, we assess your current eCommerce platform and make sure that the migration scope complements your business goals. From there, we handle Shopify data migration, including products, customers, orders, and metadata. Next, we either recreate your existing design or upgrade it through custom Shopify theme development. Once the design and data are in place, we conduct end-to-end testing to verify performance. After final client approval, we go live and closely monitor site health during the transition.

Will I lose any data or SEO rankings when I migrate to Shopify?

Not when handled properly. Our Shopify migration experts follow a proven SEO migration strategy to maintain your organic performance. We implement 301 redirects, which help preserve link equity, map legacy URLs, and carry over vital data. Product descriptions, image alt text, order history, and category content are also retained during Shopify data migration. We perform SEO audits before and after launch to identify and correct issues early.

Which platforms can you help migrate from?

We specialize in eCommerce platform migration from systems like WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Squarespace, PrestaShop, and fully custom-built websites. Each platform comes with its own architecture and quirks, but our Shopify migration services are designed to fit any data structure. Our team has also handled multi-channel and headless architecture migrations for more complicated retail environments.

How long does it take to replatform to Shopify?

Timeline depends on your store's complexity and data volume, as well as whether a design upgrade or full redesign is included. Smaller sites with straightforward data sets can typically launch in 3–5 weeks. Larger or enterprise-level stores — especially those integrating third-party systems or advanced customization — may take 8–12 weeks. We'll define a project roadmap so you know exactly what to expect. We also build in time for QA and client feedback before go-live.

What post-migration support do you offer?

After launch, our work doesn't stop. Mgroup provides ongoing support for QA testing and other performance-tuning enhancements. We closely monitor your site's behavior, making sure to resolve any unexpected issues and help optimize conversions with services like Shopify CRO. Our Shopify migration experts also assist with speed improvements and third-party app configuration. If your goal is long-term growth, we offer roadmaps to extend Shopify's capabilities with custom features or integrations — all backed by a team that knows your store inside and out.

How much does a Shopify migration cost?

WooCommerce and BigCommerce migrations typically range $8,000–$25,000. Magento migrations range $15,000–$50,000+ depending on catalog size and integration complexity. Salesforce Commerce Cloud migrations are quoted per project. Final cost depends on data volume, integrations, and theme scope.

What about customer passwords during migration?

Customer passwords cannot be directly migrated for security reasons — each platform stores them as one-way hashes. Customers receive a password reset email on first login. We coordinate the email comms and timing so it lands cleanly.
