Magento to Shopify Migration Checklist
A migration requires careful planning and execution. Our migration checklist includes:

- Exporting Magento data such as products, categories, customers, orders and coupons in the correct export file format (usually CSV).
- Setting up your new Shopify store and choosing the right Shopify plan and theme for your brand.
- Importing data using Shopify migration apps or third-party migration apps.
- Mapping Magento categories to Shopify automated collections for better product organization.
- Preserving SEO data, including URLs and meta descriptions, and setting up 301 redirects.
- Testing the new Shopify store thoroughly to ensure data integrity and functionality.
- Launching the Shopify store with minimal downtime.
Migration Process Overview
Step 1: Backup and Export Magento Data
We create a system backup and media backup of your Magento sites and export Magento data into CSV files to meet Shopify’s import requirements.
Step 2: Set Up Your Shopify Store
We help you set up a Shopify account and choose the best Shopify plan for your business. Since Magento themes can’t be migrated directly, we select a suitable Shopify theme for you.
Step 3: Import Data to Shopify
We import your exported Magento data into your new Shopify store. This includes products, customer data, order history and more. We also migrate Magento categories into Shopify automated collections to maintain product hierarchy.
Step 4: Preserve SEO and URL Structure
To preserve your search engine rankings we preserve Magento URL structures and SEO data. We implement 301 redirects so old Magento URLs point to new Shopify URLs and minimize SEO impact.
Step 5: Testing and Quality Assurance
We test your Shopify store thoroughly including order processing, payment gateways, customer account functionality and app integrations. We verify data integrity and ensure the store is working smoothly before going live.
Step 6: Launch and Post-Migration Support
After testing we help you launch your Shopify store. Our team is available to support you for any post-migration issues and help you optimize your store.
Automated Migration Tools
Automated migration tools simplify the data transfer from Magento to Shopify. We offer features like bulk data transfer, data mapping and automated 301 redirects. These tools reduce manual work and errors and make the migration faster and more reliable.
Migration Time and Cost
The time and cost of migration depends on the volume of data, complexity of store customization and additional migration options chosen. Small stores with standard data can be migrated in hours, larger and more complex Magento sites may take more time. Pricing varies accordingly with transparent packages to suit every business.
Common Migration Challenges and Solutions
