Before diving into migration, it’s crucial to assess your specific e-commerce needs and requirements. We invite you to a personalized discovery workshop, where our team of e-commerce experts will delve deep into your business. We’ll analyze your current Magento infrastructure, existing systems, and sales goals. This collaborative session allows us to determine if Shopify, particularly Shopify Plus for enterprise-level businesses, is the ideal platform to propel your online store forward.

Shopify offers a variety of pricing plans to accommodate businesses of all sizes. We’ll guide you through the different options to ensure you select the plan that best aligns with your current sales volume and future growth projections. Shopify also provides a free trial, allowing you to explore the platform’s functionalities and user interface before committing.
Magento store backup
Data security is paramount when migrating your online store. Our team will create a comprehensive backup of your entire Magento store, encompassing the system files, database, and all media assets. This safeguard ensures that your valuable customer information, product details, and product images remain secure throughout the migration process. By entrusting WeCanFly with your Magento to Shopify migration, you can rest assured that your data is in safe hands, eliminating any potential worries about losing crucial information during the transfer.
Importing and exporting important data

A seamless migration hinges on transferring your vital customer data and products from Magento to Shopify. Our team will expertly export this data into a well-structured file format, ensuring a smooth import process into the Shopify application.
Importing Data into Shopify and Post-Import Review:
Once the data is exported, we’ll meticulously import it into your new Shopify store. This process involves mapping the data fields from Magento to their corresponding counterparts in Shopify. Following the import, we’ll conduct a thorough review to verify that all data has been transferred accurately and that there are no errors or inconsistencies.Designing a new Shopify ecommerce platform

Why mature brands move off Magento
- Rising total cost of ownership — hosting, security patches and specialist developer time keep climbing.
- Magento 1 end-of-life & Adobe Commerce licensing — unsupported versions and enterprise license fees that don't map to ROI.
- Slow release velocity — every change is heavy and time-consuming, holding back CRO and new-market launches.
- Maintenance burden — more engineering effort spent keeping the lights on than growing the business.
On Shopify Plus that spend shifts from maintenance to growth — lower TCO, faster iteration, 99.99% uptime and enterprise-grade reliability.

Zero-downtime cutover, rankings protected
The two things that scare teams about replatforming are downtime and losing SEO. We remove both. Every migration includes a complete URL map with 301 redirects, migrated metadata and structured data, and a staged cutover with monitoring — so traffic, rankings and revenue carry over. Short-term fluctuation is normal; recovery typically takes 2-4 weeks, and we watch it closely through launch.
What’s included in our Magento to Shopify transfer service?
Migrating your online store from Magento to Shopify requires making sure that all data is successfully moved. The process may include some risk – the most important operating structures should be carefully transferred. During Magento migration, we’ll transfer your:
- Products (name, description, SKU, price, URL, promotional price, variants, SEO data, etc.).
- Product categories and subcategories with names, descriptions, URLs, SEO titles and descriptions, etc.).
- Product visuals with all necessary details – color, size, shape. Also, data of orders (amount of purchase, customer data, order status, quantity, promotional price, comments, shipping price, payment details, order date, etc.) is important.
- Images and static page content (blog, contact page, all CMS pages).
- Promotions, coupons.
Built for complex, enterprise migrations
Mature Magento stores rarely run alone. They sit at the center of a stack — ERP, PIM, WMS, POS, marketplaces and omnichannel tooling — and a real migration has to keep all of it working from day one. That's where most "migration apps" stop and we start.
We re-architect and reconnect your operational stack on Shopify Plus:
- ERP (e.g. SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Comarch) — orders, inventory, invoicing in sync.
- PIM — centralized product data flowing cleanly into Shopify.
- WMS & fulfillment — warehouse, stock and shipping logic preserved.
- POS & retail — unified online/offline inventory and customers.
- Marketplaces & omnichannel — Amazon and multi-channel selling.
- Custom middleware — when off-the-shelf connectors aren't enough, we build the integration layer ourselves.
As a Shopify Premier Partner with 400+ delivered projects, we treat migration as systems engineering, not a data export.
One platform, many markets
Selling across countries? We migrate your core store once, then roll out a proven base version to each market — localized currency, language, tax, payments and shipping — without rebuilding from scratch every time. After launch, our maintenance team keeps every storefront stable, secure and improving, so your internal team can focus on growth instead of upkeep.

Frequently Asked Questions
We delivered results for many types of Shopify brands. We have gained a deeper understanding of Shopify's challenges. Our experience makes us excellent project managers who can clearly see what lies ahead.
What should I remember during Magento to Shopify product migration?
It’s important for your existing customer to be able to find your new shop easily. You don’t want to lose traffic and loyal customers, do you? Therefore, it’s important to redirect your URLs. This will ensure that your shop can be found just the same as before. Also, you will not suffer any SEO penalties. Another thing to remember is that customer passwords are encrypted. They cannot be migrated to Shopify.
What is Magento to Shopify cost?
The entire cost of migration depends on the particular store, the chosen entities, and the additional migration options. There are different options to consider, as well as different features to add at various stages of the process. Thus, it’s impossible to specify the exact cost of the migration. Contact us to get a quotation.
Magento vs Shopify SEO – which one is better?
When it comes to SEO friendliness, both Magento and Shopify work out of the box pretty well with Google. There are many plugins that can make managing your e-commerce website SEO relatively easily. Magento has a very good SEO functionality, however, Shopify has an impressive number of built-in SEO options that are easily generated and auto-populated. It simplifies the online selling process as possible for the users. Along with the basics (meta tags, product page optimization, site structure editing, etc.), there are also many tools that help you improve your SEO performance. Also, Shopify outperforms other platforms with a load time of 1.3 seconds (it’s a great number as the total industry average is 3.2 seconds). The platform also offers an SSL certificate which improves your SEO rankings. Finally, there is 301 Redirect (the feature used to redirect users or search engines from one URL to another).
What data can be migrated from Magento to Shopify?
When migrating from Magento to Shopify, you can transfer a wide range of data, which typically includes:
1. Products & Product Categories: You can migrate product-related data like names, SKUs, full descriptions, images (including those in descriptions), status, manufacturer, price, special price, URLs, meta titles, meta descriptions, weights, variants, base images, and stock quantities.
2. Visuals: Details and images of products, including shape, size, and color.
3. Orders Data: This covers the list of purchased goods, the amount of purchase, payment details, customer data ID, order dates, statuses, products ordered, product prices, quantities, subtotal prices, discount prices, tax prices, shipping prices, total prices, and order comments.
4. Customer Data: Information such as names, addresses, order history, and contact details. Note that customer passwords cannot be migrated due to encryption.
5. Static Page Content: Essential pages like ‘About Us’, ‘Contact Us’, blogs, and other CMS pages.
6. Images: Main page visuals and images embedded within content.
7. SEO Elements: URL structures, meta tags, and other SEO-related elements can be replicated on Shopify to maintain search engine visibility. Setting up 301 redirects is essential to preserve SEO rankings.
8. Integrations: Third-party integrations and apps used in Magento should be assessed and similar functionalities found or developed within the Shopify ecosystem.
9. Discounts and Coupons: Promotional elements like discounts and coupons can also be transferred to take advantage of Shopify’s features in this area.
It’s crucial to have a backup of your Magento data before initiating the migration and to review all imported data in Shopify for accuracy. Also, thorough testing of the new Shopify store is recommended to ensure that the design, functionality, and integrations work as intended.
