Migrate to Shopify Plus
A scoped migration handled by an engineering-led Shopify migration agency that has done it before — from Magento, BigCommerce, SFCC, or NetSuite. Data integrity first, custom-app parity second, launch when it is genuinely ready.
Our Shopify Plus migration process
- Discovery. Catalogue audit, integration inventory, and the data migration mapping decisions. We surface migration risks in writing before any code moves.
- Build + parity. Theme rebuild on Shopify Plus, custom app re-platforming, ERP/3PL connectors, B2B setup — preserving the customer experiences your current store has already proven.
- Data + UAT. Historical orders/customers/inventory move, side-by-side regression testing, soft launch on a subdomain.
- Cutover. DNS swap, monitoring window, Plus-specific tuning (Functions, Flow, Markets) and rollback rehearsal beforehand.
What's included in the migration
- A migration plan with risk register, ranked by likelihood × impact
- A migration agency that has done this from Magento, BigCommerce, SFCC, and NetSuite — not a first-time team learning on your store
- Rollback plan you can read and trust before cutover
- Post-launch support window, scoped in writing
Migration timeline
Scoped after discovery
Depends on catalogue size, integrations, and B2B complexity. We confirm a window in writing once the discovery surfaces the real shape of the work — committing to a day-count beforehand is how migrations slip.
FAQ
- Do you migrate from Magento / BigCommerce / SFCC?
- Yes. Magento (Adobe Commerce) is our most-requested source platform — the M2 end-of-life pressure and the EAV catalogue model make it the migration where engineering depth matters most. We also move stores from BigCommerce, SFCC, and NetSuite. The patterns differ per platform; we point out what changes for yours during discovery.
- Are you a Shopify migration agency, or a one-off contractor?
- We are an engineering-led Shopify migration agency — a team that has run these cutovers before, not a solo contractor learning on your store. That matters at the edges: in-flight refunds, B2B price-list portability, and the 301 redirect map are where one-off builds quietly lose data or rankings. You get a named engineer, a written risk register, and a rollback plan before cutover.
- How do you handle historical orders and customer data?
- We move it via Shopify's GraphQL Admin API in batched migrations. Edge cases (refunds in flight, half-completed checkouts) get handled per case, not silently dropped.
- What's the biggest risk?
- In our experience: app sprawl. Most stores depend on 3–6 apps that are partly wired into the theme code. We map dependencies in week 1 — surprises in week 8 are how migrations slip.
- Can we keep our existing checkout customisations?
- Almost always — we re-implement Scripts as Functions and Custom Pixel logic as Plus-native equivalents. Some edge customisations need rethinking; we'll flag those.
- What about SEO during cutover?
- We map every legacy URL — product pages, collections, blog content — to its new path with redirects, retain canonical tags, and submit a fresh sitemap to GSC the day of launch, so your SEO rankings carry over instead of resetting.
- Do you use migration apps like Matrixify or LitExtension?
- For straightforward catalogues they work. For Shopify stores with custom data models, B2B price lists, or in-flight subscriptions we script the migration against the GraphQL Admin API instead — migration apps flatten exactly the edge cases enterprise stores can't afford to lose.
