How a Magento to Shopify Migration Works

A Magento store usually holds years of custom logic, so we list all of it before we move anything.

custom Shopify discovery

Extension audit

We list every Magento extension and custom module and decide what Shopify covers natively, what needs an app and what needs code.

custom business logic in Shopify

Data mapping first

Attributes, attribute sets and customer groups are mapped to Shopify fields before the first import.

transparent custom development process

Test imports

We run test imports and check them against the Magento data before the final move.

scalable custom Shopify architecture

SEO protection

Every indexed URL gets a redirect, and rankings are checked after launch.

What We Protect During Migration

The rules every Magento to Shopify migration follows

structured custom Shopify planning

No data loss

Product, customer and order counts are checked against Magento after import.

clean custom Shopify code

Zero downtime

Magento keeps selling until the Shopify store is ready, and the switch happens at a low-traffic hour.

stable Shopify integrations and functionality

Full redirect map

Every indexed Magento URL is mapped to a Shopify URL, including old category and product paths.

performance optimization in custom Shopify development

Customer accounts

Passwords can’t be moved from Magento, so returning customers get an invite to activate their Shopify account.

QA and validation for custom Shopify builds

Payments and taxes

Payment providers, taxes and shipping rates are tested with real orders before launch.

post launch support for custom Shopify development

Post-launch monitoring

We watch Search Console, 404 errors and checkout for the first weeks after launch.

Magento to Shopify Migration FAQ

How long does a Magento to Shopify migration take?

Timing depends on catalog size, store views and the extensions to replace. SPLIT Development gives a timeline with a fixed quote after a free store review.

Will I lose SEO rankings when moving from Magento to Shopify?

Rankings are protected with 301 redirects from every indexed Magento URL, carried-over meta data and checks in Search Console after launch. Short-term position changes are possible while Google processes the redirects.

Can customer passwords be moved from Magento to Shopify?

No. Passwords are encrypted and can’t be transferred between platforms. Customers get an invite to activate their Shopify account, and their order history is already there.

What happens to my Magento extensions?

Each extension is reviewed. Shopify covers many functions natively, others are replaced with Shopify apps, and custom logic is rebuilt with code or Shopify Functions.

Should I move to Shopify or Shopify Plus?

Standard Shopify fits most single-store brands. Shopify Plus fits stores that need B2B, several stores, checkout customization or higher API limits.

Can a Magento 1 store move to Shopify?

Yes. Magento 1 and Magento 2 stores, including Adobe Commerce, can be moved to Shopify. Magento 1 stores often need more cleanup because of old extensions and custom code.
