Sound familiar?
Magento upgrades are a nightmare
Adobe Commerce 2.4.x upgrade cycles cost thousands and break extensions. Hosting is expensive. Developers are hard to find. Shopify Plus solves all three.
You're losing customers to slow page loads
Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce — they can all be fast, but tuning them costs more than migrating. Shopify's edge infrastructure is faster out of the box.
Migration tools promise everything, deliver chaos
Cart2Cart, LitExtension, and self-built imports get the products in. They don't preserve SEO redirects, metafield schemas, customer logins, or order history. That's where most migrations fail.
Everything included
No hidden extras. No scope creep. Clear deliverables agreed upfront.
Magento → Shopify Plus Migration
End-to-end migration including EAV attribute → metafield mapping, product variants, custom attributes, category structure. The Fabric Co case study: 50,000 products, zero lost orders.
WooCommerce → Shopify
WordPress + WooCommerce migrations including custom post types, ACF metadata, customer accounts, and subscription data where applicable.
SEO-Safe 301 Redirect Map
Full URL mapping from old platform to new. Category, product, and content URLs all redirected at the server level. Your rankings transfer instead of dying.
Customer & Order Data
Customer accounts, password reset flows, full order history with line items, shipping addresses, and notes — preserved and queryable in Shopify.
Theme & Brand Translation
Your existing design rebuilt in Shopify OS 2.0 sections — not a generic theme dressed up to look similar.
Cutover With Rollback Plan
DNS cutover at low-traffic window. Old store kept running in parallel for 48 hours as fallback. Order reconciliation if any drift.
From brief to launch
Migration Audit
I inventory your current platform — every data type, every URL, every app. Nothing gets missed.
Data Mapping
I map your data structure to Shopifys schema and build the migration pipeline. Test migrations run first.
Test Migration
Full dry run on a development store. You review the result and approve before we touch production.
Live Cutover

Questions before you commit
Not if the migration is done correctly. I create a comprehensive 301 redirect map for every page — product, collection, blog post, and any other indexed URL — so Google follows the trail and preserves your domain authority.
Small stores (under 1,000 products) typically take 1–2 weeks. Large catalogues (10,000+ products) take 3–6 weeks depending on data complexity, custom field mapping, and integration requirements.
Products, variants, inventory levels, product images, collections, customer accounts, order history, and blog posts. I validate every data type after migration and document the record counts before and after.
I have migrated stores from WooCommerce, Magento 1 and 2, BigCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, OpenCart, and custom-built platforms. Each has its own export format and complexity — I assess all of these on the discovery call.
I audit your current plugin or extension stack and find the Shopify equivalent for each. Where no equivalent exists, I evaluate whether a custom solution is needed or whether the feature can be handled differently on Shopify.
Yes — I always build the new Shopify store in parallel with your live platform. You review and approve the Shopify store in full before any DNS change happens. There is no forced downtime.
Yes — I manage the DNS switch as part of the migration, planned during a low-traffic window. I also configure Shopify's SSL, redirect www and non-www correctly, and monitor traffic for 48 hours post-cutover.
