Adobe Commerce to Shopify Migration

Why brands leave Adobe Commerce

Adobe Commerce is capable, but the total cost of ownership and the pace of change stop suiting most mid-market DTC and B2B brands. Here's what pushes them to Shopify Plus, and what's genuinely at risk in the move.

01

TCO keeps climbing

Licence fees scale with GMV, on top of dedicated hosting, security patching and a DevOps line item most teams would rather not carry.

02

Slow to ship

Every merchandising or campaign change waits on developers, staging and regression cycles. Speed-to-market suffers.

03

Extension and upgrade debt

Years of third-party modules and custom code create conflicts and stall Magento 2 upgrades. Maintenance eats the roadmap.

04

A migration worth getting right

Deep catalogues, B2B price lists and order history make a botched replatform expensive. SEO equity and customer accounts are the first things at risk.

What moves across

A field-by-field view of how your Adobe Commerce data lands on Shopify, and the watch-outs we handle for you.

Data type	How it moves to Shopify	Watch-outs
Products & variants	Configurable and simple products become products with variants; attributes to options and metafields	EAV attribute sets flattened; media re-linked
Customers	Imported as Shopify customers with tags and segments intact	Passwords can't transfer; customers reset via a secure invite
B2B company accounts	Rebuilt in Shopify Plus B2B with catalogs and price lists	Tiered and contract pricing remapped, net terms configured
Orders & invoices	Historical orders imported for the record	Credit memos and invoices kept for returns and support continuity
CMS & blog	Pages, blocks and posts moved	Layout rebuilt to the new theme, not lifted as raw HTML
URLs & rankings	1:1 301 redirect map from Magento URL keys	Meta and structured data preserved; equity carried over

What the migration covers

A full replatform, not a copy-paste. We map every record, preserve your SEO, and rebuild the Adobe Commerce-specific logic that doesn't have a like-for-like on Shopify.

How we migrate

A staged path built to protect revenue and rankings. We don't quote a fixed timeline before we've inspected your store, the catalogue and integrations set the pace.

01

Audit & architecture

We inventory your catalogue, extensions, B2B rules and integrations, then map the Shopify Plus architecture. No fixed timeline until we've looked under the bonnet.

02

Build

Theme, templates and B2B logic built on Shopify Plus, tuned for 90+ Lighthouse and WCAG 2.1 AA from the first commit.

03

Data mapping & integrations

Products, customers, orders and content mapped field by field. ERP, PIM, 3PL, ESP and payment integrations reconnected.

04

Testing

Full-catalogue QA, redirect validation, and checkout and B2B pricing checks on a staging store before anyone signs off.

05

Delta cutover

Bulk import ahead of launch, then a final delta sync of recent orders and customers at go-live so nothing is missed. Zero trading days lost.

06

Monitoring

Post-launch we watch rankings, redirects, Core Web Vitals and conversion, and fix fast while everything settles.

Adobe Commerce migration questions

No. We map every Magento URL key to its Shopify equivalent with 1:1 301 redirects, preserve meta and structured data, then monitor rankings after launch. A short settling period is normal; the equity carries over.

Yes. We import historical orders, invoices and credit memos so your team keeps a full record for returns, support and reporting.

Passwords can't be exported from Adobe Commerce in a usable form. We migrate the customer records and trigger a secure reset or account-activation flow at launch.

None to speak of. We use a delta cutover, bulk import first, final sync of recent data at go-live, so you keep trading. Zero trading days lost.

Yes. We reconnect ERP, PIM, 3PL, ESP and payment systems via native apps, Shopify Functions or middleware. Where a Magento module has no direct equivalent, we replace the capability, not just the plugin.

Yes. Shopify Plus B2B handles company accounts, catalogs, price lists and net terms. We remap your tiered and contract pricing during the migration.

Configurable and bundle products are remapped to Shopify variants and bundles. Custom modules are matched to apps, Shopify Functions or custom development after the audit.
