What changes when you move from Magento to Shopify

Before

On Magento

You maintain the servers, caching and search
Security patches and upgrades are separate projects
Extension conflicts need developer time
Official support for Magento 1 ended in 2020

After

Hosting, security and updates handled by Shopify
Your team edits pages in Online Store 2.0 themes
Shopify Plus for B2B, multiple stores and checkout customisation

What moves from Magento

Moves over

Simple, configurable and bundle products
Attributes and attribute sets, as metafields
Category tree, as collections and menus
Customers, addresses and customer groups
Order history
CMS pages, blocks and meta data

Stays behind

Customer passwords (an activation email is sent)
Magento theme and module code
Multi-tier price rules (rebuilt with Shopify equivalents)

Yeniden kurulur

Payment and shipping integrations
ERP, warehouse and accounting connections
Catalogue and cart price rules
Multi-store views, with Shopify Markets
B2B price lists (with Shopify Plus B2B)

Example: Magento URLs and their Shopify equivalents

By default Magento adds a .html suffix to product and category URLs, and if category paths are used, the same product can appear at several URLs. We add every variation to the redirect list.

Planned transfers for large catalogues

Magento stores often run large catalogues with many attributes and several store views. We don't move everything in one go; we work in stages, with test imports and mapping tables.

Attribute sets mapped to a metafield structure
Configurable products split to fit Shopify's option limits
Store views mapped to Shopify Markets languages
On the final day, only new orders and customers are synced

Can I move my Magento 1 store straight to Shopify?

Yes. You can move straight to Shopify without upgrading to Magento 2 first. Official support for Magento 1 ended in June 2020, so the move matters for security too.

Should I move to Shopify or Shopify Plus?

If you need B2B price lists, checkout customisation, multiple stores or handle high order volumes, we recommend Shopify Plus. In the audit we compare your needs against both options.

Will my Google rankings be affected?

Losses are kept to a minimum when every .html URL on Magento, including category path variations, is 301 redirected to its Shopify equivalent.

What happens to our ERP integration?

The ERP connection is rebuilt on Shopify's APIs. If a ready-made app exists we recommend it; if not, a custom integration.

Do customer passwords move over?

No. For security reasons, passwords can't be read from any platform. Customer records move with their addresses, and after launch your customers receive a planned account activation email to set a new password.

How is the migration priced?

Based on product and order volume, integrations and design scope. We send a written quote after the audit; we don't publish package prices.
