Move from Magento to Shopify
without losing an order.

Magento's catalogue, attribute and customer structure mapped to Shopify's product and metafield schema before anything moves. Redirects ship with the launch, and Magento stays live until the new store is verified record for record.

In one answer

PixelCrayons migrates Magento stores to Shopify, mapping catalogue, attribute and order data to Shopify's schema before anything moves. Magento's multi-store setups, custom attributes and B2B pricing logic are inventoried first, then mapped to their Shopify equivalent. A redirect map ships with the cutover, and Magento isn't decommissioned until the new store is verified against that inventory, record for record. Once we have a complete brief, we confirm the date you will receive your priced migration plan.

What a Magento to Shopify
migration actually includes.

01

A Magento-specific catalogue audit

Every product, custom attribute, configurable and multi-store setup Magento holds is inventoried first. Magento's attribute structure has no direct Shopify equivalent, so each custom attribute is mapped to a Shopify metafield or option before migration starts, not discovered mid-move.

First
02

Order history and customer accounts, mapped and verified

Order history, customer records and any B2B pricing tiers Magento holds are migrated and reconciled against the pre-migration count. Nothing is switched off on Magento until Shopify matches, record for record.

Before decommission
03

A redirect map for Magento's URL structure

Magento's category and product URL patterns rarely match Shopify's out of the box. Every historic URL gets a mapped, tested redirect into Shopify's structure before cutover, so search equity built on Magento doesn't leak on the move.

Before cutover
04

A rehearsed cutover, not a live experiment

The full move is rehearsed on a Shopify sandbox first: catalogue imported, redirects live, checkout exercised with real payment methods. The real switch is the rehearsed runbook run for real, not the first attempt.

Rehearsed first
05

An honest read on whether Shopify fits

A Magento to Shopify migration company has every reason to recommend the move, so we test the case against it first. Magento still fits complex B2B pricing and heavily customised catalogues better than Shopify in some cases. If that's your situation we'll say so in the plan rather than migrate you somewhere that costs more to run than it saves.

How we report it, in Prism

The cutover plan,
with nothing switched off early.

What you receive in month one

A migration is reported as an inventory and a cutover plan you approve before anything moves. In the first month you receive the full inventory of URLs, records and integrations, the redirect map matching every old address to its destination, and the data reconciliation plan naming how record counts will be checked on both sides. The old platform stays live until each check passes.

  • 01Inventory: URLs, product and customer records, integrations, and their owners
  • 02Redirect map: every old address matched to its destination and tested
  • 03Data reconciliation plan: counts and spot checks on both platforms
  • 04Cutover runbook: the order of steps, the checks between them, the rollback
  • 05Post-move watch: crawl errors, order flow and search visibility, daily at first

Where this fits

One narrow path,
inside the full migration.

This page covers the Magento-specific mapping work. For the full audit, redirect and cutover sequence that applies whatever your source platform, see Shopify Migration. If Magento's B2B pricing or catalogue complexity turns out to be the better fit after the audit, our Magento / Adobe Commerce development team keeps building on it. Once the move is done, our Shopify Development team handles themes, custom apps and Plus work on the new store.

Questions buyers ask before they commit

How do we know the work will be good?

Every delivery is reviewed before release by QA, your Project or Account Manager and a senior delivery lead, and you then review it against the acceptance criteria agreed at the start. Our specialists use AI to support delivery, with people responsible for reviewing the work. Applicable development work includes 30 days of corrective maintenance after production launch.

Who owns the ad accounts, the data and the work?

Your materials, data and accounts remain yours, and we prefer to work in advertising and analytics accounts you own, with access delegated to our team. Agreed ownership rights in bespoke deliverables transfer under the engagement terms and applicable payment; third-party software and assets keep their licences. We do not withhold customer-owned data or accounts over a payment dispute.

What if we want to stop?

Cancellation, notice and any renewal terms are written into your proposal or statement of work before you accept it. If an engagement ends early, we hand over completed, paid-for work and list any unfinished work separately. For an eligible specialist trial, you can stop within the trial window and pay nothing for eligible trial hours.

How will we know what you are doing?

Before work starts we agree how often you get updates, what the reports cover and who sends them. You know who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue. For hourly and retainer work, time is recorded in Workstatus, so you can see the time records behind your invoice.

How we handle claims, credentials and your data: group credentials, dated ratings, how case figures are signed off, client permissions and data handling.

Questions

Frequently
asked.

Magento's data model is the most complex of the common source platforms: custom attributes, configurable products, multi-store setups and sometimes B2B pricing tiers, none of which have a one-to-one Shopify equivalent. The audit takes longer than a simpler WooCommerce move because each custom attribute needs a mapping decision (a Shopify metafield, a variant option, or dropped as unused), made before migration starts rather than patched afterwards.

It depends on how it's built. Simple tiered or customer-group pricing usually maps to Shopify's B2B features or a compatible app. Heavily customised Magento pricing logic sometimes doesn't translate cleanly, and if that's your case, the migration plan will say so plainly, including the option of staying on Magento for that reason alone.

It depends on catalogue size, how many custom attributes are in play and whether multi-store setups are involved, so we scope timelines per engagement. What's fixed is the start: once we have a complete brief, we confirm the date you will receive your priced migration plan.

Not if the redirect map is built before cutover. Magento's URL structure rarely matches Shopify's directly, so every historic URL (category, product, blog) gets mapped to its Shopify destination and tested on staging first. Some short-term ranking volatility after any platform change is normal, but a migration that loses search equity has almost always skipped this step.

The audit answers that before you commit. We check your B2B pricing logic, custom attributes and multi-store setup against what Shopify can hold. Where Magento still fits better, the migration plan says so rather than moving you somewhere that costs more to run than it saves.

Yes, and it's one of the first things the audit confirms, since Magento's multi-store and multi-website structure has no single, obvious Shopify equivalent. Depending on how your stores share (or don't share) catalogue, customers and pricing, the right Magento to Shopify migration solution might be a single Shopify store with markets, or several linked stores. The migration plan names which shape fits before anything moves, rather than forcing your setup into whichever is easiest to build.
