Migrate Magento to Shopify. Your data and rankings move with you.
Redefine migrates Magento and Adobe Commerce stores to Shopify. You get full data transfer, custom module replacement, and SEO redirect mapping. A Shopify 2.0 rebuild ships fast from day one.
What Magento migration should protect
Magento works. Until it doesn't. Then the cost compounds fast.
PHP upgrades, extension conflicts, and hosting overhead eat the budget you need for growth. At scale, running Magento costs about three times more than it looks.
We were spending more time keeping Magento running than building the features our customers wanted. Moving to Shopify Plus gave our dev team their roadmap back.
How Redefine migrates Magento, versus a typical agency
Most agencies treat Magento like a simple data export. Redefine treats it as an engineering project. We map your extensions, your EAV data, and your URLs before any work starts.
What your Magento migration includes from audit to go-live
Magento migrations are more complex than most platforms. Each phase below tackles one Magento-specific risk. Expand any phase to see exactly what it includes.
- Magento version and PHP stack inventory
- Full custom module and extension listing
- EAV database schema analysis and mapping
- URL key structure and catalog URL mapping
- Risk register and mitigation plan delivered
- Migration brief with week-by-week plan
- Products, configurable variants, and attributes
- Customer accounts, addresses, and segments
- Order history and invoice records
- Content management system pages, blocks, and static content
- Product attributes and custom options
- Full reconciliation report before go-live
Every Magento module has a replacement strategy mapped before the project scope is signed. No functionality gaps are discovered post-launch.
We do not migrate your Magento theme. We build a new Shopify 2.0 theme from scratch, using sections-and-blocks architecture. Most other migrations fail right here.
Magento uses configurable URL keys for categories and products. We map every URL to its Shopify equivalent with a 301 redirect. We validate each one in staging and monitor it after launch.
- 30-point pre-launch validation in staging
- Data reconciliation approval before DNS change
- Confirmed rollback plan before cutover
- DNS cutover under 15 minutes, zero downtime
- Search Console sitemap submission on day one
- 30-day uptime, ranking, and redirect monitor

Parsons Kellogg wanted to scale past $80M in revenue. But its systems had no unified view across 30+ stores and one million items. Manual work and thin analytics slowed every decision.ecision-making, constrained warehouse operations, and blocked scalability at the speed the business needed.
- Fragmented systems, no single source of truth for inventory
- Manual warehouse workflows slowing the whole operation
- Limited analytics blocking executive decisions across 30 storefronts

Magento versus Shopify: the differences that affect your revenue
Not every platform switch is worth the effort. If you run Magento or Adobe Commerce at growth stage, these nine differences make the case clear.

Magento to Shopify migration questions answered
Most Magento migrations to standard Shopify take 8 to 12 weeks from audit to go-live, depending on catalog size, custom module complexity, and theme requirements. Magento 1 migrations run 6 to 10 weeks. Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce) migrations with complex B2B catalog or custom extension dependencies run 10 to 16 weeks. Enterprise Magento to Shopify Plus migrations run 12 to 16 weeks, typically about 14 weeks. Redefine delivers a specific week-by-week timeline after the Discovery audit, not a range estimate before seeing your store.
Yes. Redefine migrates both Magento 1 and Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce) stores to Shopify. Magento 1 reached end-of-life in June 2020, meaning these stores receive no security updates. Migration from Magento 1 is treated as urgent from a security standpoint. The migration process is the same, and Magento 1 stores have fewer complex extension dependencies than Magento 2, which can reduce timeline.
Magento extensions do not run on Shopify. Every custom module is assessed during the Discovery phase and mapped to one of three outcomes: a native Shopify App Store equivalent, a custom-built Shopify app, or a Shopify feature that replaces the module entirely. This mapping is completed before the project scope is signed, so there are no functionality gaps discovered post-launch.
Shopify Plus has native B2B capabilities including company accounts, custom price lists per company, net terms (net-30, net-60), purchase order workflows, and draft order management. For brands migrating from Adobe Commerce B2B, Redefine maps existing B2B catalog rules and customer group pricing to Shopify Plus equivalents during the Discovery phase.
Most brands migrating from Magento 2 or Adobe Commerce are suitable for Shopify Plus. Shopify Plus is recommended for stores doing over $1M in annual revenue, using B2B features, requiring Checkout extensibility, or managing multiple storefronts. Brands migrating from Magento 1 with simpler catalog structures may be well-served by standard Shopify. Timeline differs by destination: Magento to standard Shopify averages 8 to 12 weeks; Magento to Shopify Plus enterprise migration runs 12 to 16 weeks, typically about 14 weeks. Redefine recommends the correct tier after the Discovery audit.
