Migration
Moving to Shopify without losing data, rankings or revenue.
Official partner of
A migration is not a redesign with a different logo. Your products, customers, order history and search rankings all have to arrive on the other side intact, and the store has to keep selling while it happens.
We have done this from Magento, WooCommerce, Lightspeed, CCV Shop, PrestaShop and a fair number of home-grown systems. The pattern is always the same: audit first, map everything, then move.
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.
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.
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.
“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
Audit
Data / Integrations / SEO
We analyse your current store: what data, extensions and integrations exist, and what the Shopify equivalent is. You get a concrete migration plan with a fixed price.
Build & migrate
Theme / Data / Apps
We build your store in Shopify and migrate products, customers and orders, replacing platform-specific extensions with Shopify apps or custom work.
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.

Migrating a straightforward store costs between € 8,000 and € 20,000. Complex projects with B2B functionality, an ERP integration or a very large catalogue run up to € 60,000. A migration costs more than a new build because existing data, rankings and revenue must not break. The price is fixed after the audit.
Not if it is done properly. Platforms 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, so your positions hold.
Expect six to twelve weeks, depending on catalogue size, the number of integrations and whether a new design is part of it. Your current store keeps running throughout; we only switch over at launch.
Yes. We build the new store in parallel on a separate environment, so your current shop keeps selling. The switch happens in one moment, at a time we pick together, usually outside your peak hours.
All three, plus content pages, blogs and discount codes. Before we start we agree per data type what moves and in what form; afterwards we verify it together, data type by data type. Order history matters more than people expect for customer service.
Practically any: Magento, WooCommerce, Lightspeed, CCV Shop, PrestaShop and custom-built systems. For VA Imaging we merged two separate platforms into one Shopify Plus store.
Moving your store from one platform to another with everything that hangs off it: catalogue, customers, order history, content, integrations and search rankings. The technical move is the easy half; preserving rankings and data integrity is the work.

A real browser loads your site the way a visitor does. Everything you see next is measured on your site, not estimated.
What moves in a 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.
Why rankings usually survive, and sometimes do not
They survive when every old URL has a mapped destination and the content on the other side matches the intent. They break when redirects are done in bulk to the homepage, or when a redesign silently drops half the content. The redirect plan is not paperwork; it is the migration.
Cost and timeline
Every store is different, so we do not work with package prices. A straightforward migration runs € 8,000 to € 20,000, complex projects up to € 60,000. 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.
