Magento to Shopify · Lead Magento 2 developer · Adobe Commerce Expert certified
Replatforming is a large decision that is hard to undo. First you get an independent, written comparison of staying on Magento and moving to Shopify, with real numbers for your store. If moving wins, I migrate your data and URLs myself, because the hard part of leaving Magento is Magento.
Both platforms are good. The right answer depends on your catalogue, your integrations, your team and what the store costs you today, not on which agency called you last.
High agency bills, a slow storefront, painful upgrades and developers who are hard to find. Many of these are real. Some are symptoms of how the store was built and hosted, not of Magento itself, and those can be fixed for less than a migration costs.
Staying is cheaper than it was. The Hyvä theme has been free and open source since November 2025, Mage-OS offers a community-run Magento without licence fees, and AI-assisted development has cut the cost of custom work. A fast, affordable Magento store is more realistic now than two years ago.
Hosting, security and platform upgrades are handled for you, the app ecosystem is huge, and a small team can run the store without a developer on call. For D2C brands with a straightforward catalogue, moving is often the right call.
Complex catalogues and configurable products, several stores and languages on one install, deep ERP integrations, B2B with customer-specific prices and approval flows, and full ownership of the code. Shopify Plus has B2B features too; whether they cover your price lists and processes is exactly what the comparison checks.
Why you are considering a move, what the store does, and what success would look like.
Read-only access, your current costs, about two weeks of analysis, then the written report and a walkthrough.
Stay, and the report becomes a fixed-price plan to fix what hurts. Go, and you get a fixed quote for the migration.
Trial runs on a development store, integrations, redirects, cut-over at a quiet hour, then 30 days of care.
Both steps are fixed-price. The second opinion is useful on its own, and you are free to take it to any agency.

No. You pay for the analysis, not for a conclusion, and I earn more from a migration than from a report. If Shopify fits your business better, the report says so and shows why. I take no referral fees from Shopify or any other platform.
Shopify uses its own URL structure for products and collections, so every old Magento URL gets a redirect to its new address. I build the redirect map from your full URL list, test it before go-live and watch Search Console afterwards. Meta titles, descriptions and structured data are carried over.
Shopify cannot import the password hashes Magento stores, so customers set a new password through an account activation email. I plan when that email goes out and how it reads, so it looks like your brand and not like phishing.
I set up and configure a Shopify theme and the apps you need, which covers most stores. For a fully custom design I work alongside your designer or a Shopify theme specialist, and I stay responsible for the data, redirects and integrations.
The second opinion can compare any target you are considering. Shopify is the most common, and for stores paying for Adobe Commerce, moving to Mage-OS or Magento Open Source is sometimes the cheapest option of all.
