Magento 1 vs Magento 2
Both versions supported, but urgency differs
Magento 1
No security patches since June 2020. Stores are vulnerable to attacks and PCI DSS non-compliant. Urgent migration recommended — every day without migration is a security risk.
Magento 2
More complex data structure with longer migration timeline, but still worth migrating for dramatically lower TCO. Average 30-40% cost savings over 3 years.
Extension to App Mapping
Your Magento extensions don't disappear — they evolve
Common Migration Concerns
Questions every Magento store owner asks — and honest answers
“Will I lose my SEO rankings?”
No. With comprehensive 301 redirects and meta data preservation, studies show 80%+ SEO retention. We map every Magento URL to its Shopify equivalent.
“What about my customers?”
All customer data migrates — accounts, addresses, order history. Passwords require reset (security standard), but everything else transfers intact.
“How long will my store be down?”
Zero downtime. We build your Shopify store while Magento continues running. The switch happens instantly via DNS update.
“What about my Magento extensions?”
We map each extension to Shopify apps or build custom alternatives. You won't lose functionality — often you'll gain better, more stable solutions.
“Is Magento 1 migration urgent?”
Yes. Since June 2020 end of life, M1 stores receive no security patches and are PCI non-compliant. Every day without migration is a security and compliance risk.

Migration FAQ
Typical migrations take 2-4 weeks. Simple stores can complete in 2-3 weeks, while complex enterprise Magento stores migrating to Shopify Plus may take 4-6 weeks. Timeline depends on catalog size, custom functionality, and integrations.
With proper 301 redirects and meta data transfer, most stores retain 80%+ of organic traffic. Magento's complex URL structure requires careful mapping — we audit every URL and create comprehensive redirects. Rankings typically stabilize within 2-4 weeks.
We audit all extensions and map to Shopify apps. Popular extensions like reviews, subscriptions, and email marketing all have Shopify equivalents. Custom functionality is recreated as needed. Often, we consolidate multiple Magento extensions into fewer Shopify apps.
Yes. We assess all custom Magento development and either find equivalent Shopify apps or build custom solutions. Complex custom features are scoped separately. Nothing gets lost in migration.
Customer data (names, emails, addresses, order history) transfers completely. However, passwords cannot be migrated for security reasons — customers receive a password reset email. Their accounts and history remain intact.
All order history migrates to Shopify. Order numbers, line items, statuses, shipping/billing info, and dates all transfer. Your customer service team will have full historical data.
Shopify Plus is recommended for stores doing $1M+ annually, needing B2B features, requiring checkout customization, or with complex integration needs. We assess your requirements and recommend the right plan.
Yes. Magento 1 reached end of life in June 2020. Stores still on M1 receive no security patches and are PCI DSS non-compliant, creating legal and security liability. We strongly recommend immediate migration.
Studies show 30-40% lower total cost of ownership with Shopify over 3 years. Magento requires expensive hosting ($500-2000+/month), security patches ($5-20K/year), and specialized developers. Shopify includes hosting, security, and updates in one predictable fee.
