How long does a Shopify Plus migration take?

Most enterprise migrations from Magento, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce run 12–20 weeks end-to-end. The variables are catalog depth, integration count, and how much logic moves into Checkout Extensibility or Shopify Flow.

Can you migrate from any platform?

Yes — Magento 1, Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and bespoke legacy systems. The playbook is the same; only the extraction layer changes per source.

What happens to SEO during a replatform?

SEO is in scope from week one. We audit existing rankings, preserve URL structures where possible, build a complete 301 redirect map, and validate it in staging. Most clients hold or grow organic traffic post-launch.

Do we lose customer or order history?

No. Customers, addresses, orders, subscriptions, and store credit are all transformed and loaded into Shopify Plus. Parallel testing confirms data parity before cutover.

Do you continue to support the store after launch?

Yes — hypercare is part of every launch, and most clients move into an ongoing engineering retainer covering CRO, integrations, and Plus feature adoption.

Why brands replatform

Legacy commerce platforms stop scaling

By the time the conversation reaches the boardroom, the cost is already real — in dollars, velocity, and lost market windows.

Legacy cost is compounding

Magento 2 licensing, hosting, security patches, and PCI overhead routinely exceed $150,000/year before any new feature ships.

Velocity is broken

Extensions conflict, every upgrade is a project, and simple merchandising changes take weeks of engineering attention.

Scaling is manual

Traffic spikes need infra babysitting. International expansion means more servers, more contracts, more failure points.

The stack is fragmented

Storefront, OMS, ERP, PIM, payments — each held together by brittle middleware no one wants to own anymore.

The 5-Phase Playbook

From discovery to launch in 12–20 weeks

The same sequence we've run on every enterprise replatform — refined on real catalogs, real integrations, and real launch deadlines.

01

2–3 weeks

Discovery & Audit

Map every data entity, integration, and custom feature. Decide what transfers, what gets rebuilt, what gets retired.
02

2–3 weeks

Architecture & Data Mapping

Design the Shopify Plus information architecture: collections, product types, metafields, integration contracts, and migration scripts.
03

6–10 weeks

Development & Integration

Theme or headless build, Checkout Extensibility, payment gateways, ERP/PIM connectors, and Shopify Flow automations.
04

2–3 weeks

QA & Parallel Run

Both stores live side by side. Order flow, data parity, load testing, and 301 redirect validation before a single customer sees the new site.
05

1–2 weeks

Launch & Hypercare

DNS cutover, final sync, monitoring dashboards, and on-call support tracking conversion, speed, and integration health.
