From Magento to Shopify

Magento maintenance getting more expensive every year? We migrate your store to Shopify, with data, SEO and integrations intact.

Magento is powerful, and that power has a price: updates, security patches, hosting and developers who are getting harder to find. Shopify takes that technical burden off your hands, so your budget goes back to growth.

We run the whole transition, from data migration to preserving your search rankings.

Why Codemaker-S?

SEO preservation first

We map every existing URL, set up 301 redirects and monitor rankings around launch. Your organic traffic moves with you.

Certified Shopify specialists

Everything we do runs on Shopify. We know the platform inside out, from themes to API integrations, and we are an official Shopify Partner.

Complete data transfer

Products, customers, order history and content move across in a controlled way. We check per data type, together with you, before going live.

“We hugely appreciate how hard Codemaker-S worked. They were still going on the Sunday before our launch to get the last details right. After going live they even came round to celebrate, with VA Imaging cake and champagne.”

How we work

01

Magento audit

Data / Extensions / SEO

We analyse your Magento store: which data, extensions and integrations exist, and what the Shopify equivalent is. You get a migration plan with a fixed price.

02

Build & migrate

Theme / Data / Apps

We build your store in Shopify, migrate products, customers and orders, and replace Magento extensions with Shopify apps or custom work.

03

Redirects & launch

301 redirects / Testing / Aftercare

Every old URL gets a 301 redirect, we test the complete ordering flow and go live at a quiet moment. Then we monitor rankings and conversion.

Frequently asked questions

You probably have questions about Shopify as a platform, or about how we work at Codemaker-S. Not finding yours? Give us a call, or leave your details and we'll come back to you.

Expect € 8,000 to € 20,000 for a manageable Magento store, and up to € 60,000 when B2B logic, an ERP integration or thousands of products with variants are involved. Magento stores tend to be heavier than average, precisely because of their extensions. The price is fixed after the audit.

Total cost of ownership. Magento needs continuous maintenance, security patches, hosting and developer hours. Shopify handles hosting, updates and security itself, so your fixed costs drop and your budget can go to growth. Finding people who can work with it is also considerably easier.

Not if it is done properly. Magento and Shopify use different URL structures, so we map every old URL to its new location with a 301 redirect, including category and filter pages. Titles, meta descriptions and structured data move across.

Nearly every Magento extension has a Shopify app or built-in equivalent. In the audit we list them one by one: what disappears because Shopify does it as standard, what becomes an app, and what we build through the API.

Six to twelve weeks, depending on catalogue size, the number of integrations and whether a new design is involved. Your Magento store keeps running throughout; we only switch at launch.

Yes. Customer groups, tiered pricing and ordering on account all have Shopify equivalents, natively or through apps. For complex B2B we sometimes recommend Shopify Plus, and we will do that calculation honestly.

Magento pays off with genuinely complex custom logic and an in-house development team. For nearly every other store Shopify is cheaper to run: no server management, no security patches, updates that arrive by themselves. Magento maintenance easily runs to several thousand euros a year that simply disappear.

What we do

A real browser loads your site the way a visitor does. Everything you see next is measured on your site, not estimated.

Magento vs Shopify in short

Magento gives you maximum freedom, but you, or your agency, are responsible for hosting, updates, security and performance. Shopify is a hosted platform: that technical layer is handled and your store scales through peaks by itself.

What moves in the migration

Products with variants and images, categories as collections, customer accounts, order history, discount codes, content pages and blogs. We agree per data type what moves and in what form before we start, and verify it together afterwards.

Cost and timeline

Every Magento store is different, so we do not work with package prices. Expect € 8,000 to € 20,000, and up to € 60,000 for complex projects. After the audit you get a fixed quote and a plan, usually six to twelve weeks. Want to know where you stand first? Get a free store analysis.
