Platforms we move stores from
Every platform has its own quirks. Here’s what usually matters for each, and we’ll check the details for your store in the free review.
Magento to Shopify migration
Magento and Adobe Commerce stores are often the biggest jump. Product structures, extensions and custom code are reviewed one by one: some become built-in Shopify features, some become apps, and a few need a custom build. Magento 1 stores in particular are overdue a move.WooCommerce to Shopify migration
Moving from WordPress means no more plugin updates, hosting or security patches to manage. We replace each plugin with the Shopify equivalent and keep your blog content if it earns traffic.BigCommerce to Shopify
Catalogues, customers and orders map across closely. The work is mostly in the theme, apps and redirects, so it's often one of the quicker moves.Custom and other platforms
Bespoke builds, Wix, Squarespace and older systems. If the data can be exported, it can be moved, and we'll check what's possible in the review before you commit.
What our Shopify migration services cover
Everything your store depends on moves across, and is checked on a development copy before anything goes live.
Products and collections
Products, variants, images, prices, stock and SEO fields, mapped onto Shopify's product structure and checked line by line on a development store.Customers
Customer records, addresses, tags and marketing consent. Passwords can't be moved to any new platform, so we plan a friendly account invite to go out at launch.Order history
Past orders come across so customers can see what they bought and your team can still look them up and handle returns.Content and blog
Pages, blog posts and images, moved into a theme your team can edit without a developer.URLs and redirects
Every old product, category and page URL is mapped to its new home before launch, so links keep working and search engines know where things have moved.Integrations and features
Your ERP, warehouse, email and accounting connections, plus anything your old platform did with plugins or custom code, rebuilt with Shopify's own features, a well-chosen app, or a custom app where nothing fits.
Shopify Plus migration
There are two routes onto Shopify Plus, and they’re quite different jobs.
Not sure you need Plus at all? Compare Shopify Plus vs Shopify and Advanced.
From another platform straight onto Plus
A full migration as described on this page, plus the features you're moving for: changes to your checkout, B2B and wholesale on Shopify's own features, and connections to your ERP or warehouse. From £18,000, and typically 6 to 10 weeks.From Shopify or Advanced up to Plus
A smaller job. Your store, data and URLs stay where they are, so the work goes into checkout, B2B, automation and extra storefronts. Our Shopify Plus development page covers it.
Got an ERP, a marketplace or stores in several countries?
Reconnecting your systems and keeping search engines pointed at the right pages are usually the hardest parts of a migration. They’re work we already do on live Shopify stores.

How a Shopify migration runs
The aim is a launch day your customers don’t notice, apart from a better store.
- 1
Review and plan
We audit your current store: products, customers, URLs, integrations and anything custom. You get a written plan, a fixed price and a launch date that avoids your busiest weeks. - 2
Build and test runs
The new store is built on a development copy while you keep trading. Data is moved in test runs and checked, so the final move holds no surprises. - 3
Launch
A final data sync, redirects switched on, domain moved and orders tested end to end. There's a plan to roll back if anything unexpected turns up. - 4
After launch
We watch Search Console, broken links and orders closely in the weeks after launch and fix anything that slipped through, then hand over notes and code you own.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a Shopify migration take?
Most migrations to Shopify take 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the size of the catalogue, how much custom functionality there is and how many systems need connecting. A focused Shopify Plus migration typically takes 6 to 10 weeks. You get a timeline in writing after the free review.
Will I lose my Google rankings when I move to Shopify?
Not if the move is planned properly. Every old URL is mapped to its new page with a permanent redirect, page titles and descriptions come across, and we check Search Console after launch for anything missed. Some movement in the first few weeks is normal, but a careful migration keeps the rankings you've earned.
Can customers keep their passwords?
No platform can move passwords, because they're stored encrypted. Customer accounts, addresses and order history do come across, and customers get an invite to set a new password. We help you time and word that email so it feels like part of the launch, not an inconvenience.
Can you move our order history?
Yes. Past orders can be imported into Shopify so customers see their history and your team can still find old orders for returns and support.
Will the store go offline during the move?
No. The new store is built and tested alongside your current one. On launch day the domain is switched over, which usually takes minutes, and your old store stays available behind the scenes until you're happy.
Do we need Shopify Plus, or will standard Shopify do?
Many stores moving from WooCommerce or smaller Magento builds are well served by standard Shopify or Advanced. Plus is worth it for high volume, B2B and wholesale, checkout changes or several international stores. We'll give you an honest recommendation in the review.
What happens to our plugins and extensions?
Each one is reviewed. Many are replaced by features Shopify already has, some by a well-supported app, and anything specific to how you trade can be rebuilt as a custom app. We build and run our own Shopify apps, so we can tell which is the right call.
How much does a Shopify migration cost?
Migrations to Shopify Plus start from £18,000, and moving an existing Shopify store off an older theme starts from £6,000. Moves from other platforms onto standard Shopify are priced after the free review, because the work depends on your catalogue and integrations. Every price is fixed and agreed in writing before work starts.
