AI Summary

Magento to Shopify migration cost depends on how customized the Magento store is. On shopexperts, store migration packages have a median of $2,500 (16 packages, October 2026): $2,000 from freelancers and $5,000 from agencies. Extensions with no Shopify equivalent, configurable products, customer groups and years of indexed URLs are what push a Magento quote up. Check every quote covers redirects and B2B pricing.

Magento to Shopify migration cost at a glance

Magento to Shopify migration cost is quoted per store, but fixed-price packages give a benchmark. These are the migration packages experts list on shopexperts, as of October 2026.

Migration packagesPackagesMedianMiddle 50%Lowest to highest
Another platform to Shopify16$2,500$1,875 to $5,000$400 to $15,000
From freelancers8$2,000$400 to $3,500
From agencies8$5,000$1,500 to $15,000

Two packages name Magento: a $2,000 one-off migration from a freelancer that also covers WooCommerce and other platforms, and a $5,700-a-month migration engagement from an agency. These are starting prices for a standard move. A Magento store with many extensions, B2B pricing or a redesign at the same time is scoped and quoted per project.

The Shopify migration cost guide covers migrations from every platform, and the Shopify expert cost guide explains how the data was collected.

Why Magento migrations cost more

  • The data model. Magento stores product data across many tables (the EAV model). Getting clean data out takes more checking than most platforms.
  • Configurable products. A Magento parent product with child SKUs has to become one Shopify product with variants. Default imports can split them into separate products.
  • Customer groups. Group-based pricing has to be rebuilt with Shopify's B2B features or customer tags, or wholesale buyers see retail prices on day one.
  • Extensions. Magento extensions don't carry over. Each one is replaced with a Shopify app, a Shopify feature or custom code.
  • URLs. Older Magento stores often have years of product, category and CMS URLs. Every one that ranks needs a 301 redirect.

None of this is unique to Magento, but Magento stores tend to have more of it. That is why a Magento quote can come in above the starting prices shown above.

Magento Open Source vs Adobe Commerce

Magento Open Source stores are usually a standard migration: catalog, customers, orders, theme, apps and redirects. They can run on any Shopify plan.

Adobe Commerce stores often rely on B2B features: company accounts, shared catalogs, quotes and negotiated pricing. Shopify's B2B features are available on the Basic, Grow and Advanced plans with up to 3 catalogs, and Shopify Plus keeps unlimited catalogs. Plus suits large B2B setups that need more catalogs. See Shopify Plus migration for when that is worth it.

If you pay Adobe a license fee, you are on Adobe Commerce. If you host Magento yourself with no license, you are on Open Source.

What you pay for in a Magento migration

  • Audit and plan. Listing every extension, integration, customer group, custom field and indexed URL before the quote.
  • Catalog. Products, variants, images and metafields, checked by hand where configurable products are involved.
  • Customers and orders. The import is quick; checking it is the work.
  • Redirects. A full map from old URLs to new ones. See Shopify migration SEO preservation.
  • Theme. Often the largest single piece, especially with a redesign.
  • Apps and integrations. ERP, 3PL, email and reviews reconnected or replaced.
  • B2B. Company accounts, catalogs and pricing rebuilt, for stores that sell wholesale.
  • Launch and aftercare. Test orders, the domain switch and fixes in the weeks after launch.

What a cheap Magento migration quote leaves out

A low quote can be fine for a simple Magento store. What matters is what it includes. A migration app run on its own moves data and little else. Before you accept any quote, check it covers:

  • A redirect map for every product, category, CMS and blog URL
  • Configurable products mapped to variants, and checked
  • Customer groups and B2B pricing, if you have them
  • A list of every extension and what replaces it
  • Integrations reconnected and tested with real orders
  • Support for the first weeks after launch

The Magento to Shopify migration checklist walks through each step.

How Magento migrations are usually paid

Most migrations are priced as a fixed project paid in milestones, each tied to a deliverable: data migrated and checked, theme and apps done, launch and aftercare complete. Larger Adobe Commerce moves are often split into phases, starting with a paid audit, so you can stop or re-scope between them.

Be wary of full payment up front, hourly billing with no estimate, or a migration price that depends on signing a long retainer. See Shopify expert contracts and scope.

Red flags in Magento migration quotes

  • A quote before anyone has seen the store. A Magento quote should follow questions about your version, extensions, integrations and URL count.
  • No Magento examples. Ask for migrations from Magento specifically, not just Shopify work in general.
  • No redirect map in scope. This is the part that protects your search traffic.
  • No aftercare. Problems show up in the first weeks after launch; someone should be there to fix them.

Shopify speed and ad tracking fixes: for stores where the ads bring visitors but not sales I help Shopify stores sell more to the visitors you already pay to bring in. I find the spots where shoppers give up, and then I fix them. One example. A clothing brand's product pages took 15.4 seconds to load. Five weeks before Black Friday, I got them to 7.4 seconds. That is the job: I find what slows your store down, and I fix it. The same work keeps finding a second problem: numbers you cannot trust. The code that tells Meta or Google about a sale fires twice, so sales count double. Ads run across every product, with no check on which ones earn. Apps bill every month for work nobody has measured. So I also check what your money is really doing, instead of trusting what Google, Meta and the apps say. Then I fix what I find. I work with established stores run by their founders. To me, speed and ad spend are sales problems, not technical boxes to tick. What I work on, eight ways in: Speed check. I measure how fast your pages load for real shoppers on a phone. I find what makes them wait, and I fix it. Accessibility check. I test your store the way a keyboard user or a screen reader meets it. I check whether a widget sits on top of problems it does not fix. You get the findings in the order a complaint would reach them. Shopify deadline check. Shopify changes its rules on set dates. Scripts ended on 30 June. Order status script tags ended on 26 August. I find what has already stopped working on your store and what is dated ahead, and I make the repairs. Tracking and attribution fix. Meta Pixel, GA4 (Google Analytics) and server-side tracking. I remove the double counting and prove it in your own dashboards. Ad spend by product and the app bill get read in the same pass. Google and Meta recovery. Your products stopped showing on Google or Meta. I find where the connection broke and get them showing again. Sale price check. AI shopping tools, like ChatGPT, now get your "was" prices from Shopify. I check that yours reach them right. Builds and theme upgrades. New sections and modern themes, with your custom work and your tracking still running. Every change to the live site has a way back. Partner Seat. 25 hours a month. I watch speed, the pages customers see, broken links, tracking and app bills. Your work goes first in the queue. Each check is $285. If you go ahead, I take the fee off the fix price. Key results: Product page load time cut from 15.4 seconds to 7.4 seconds, 52% faster. Mobile PageSpeed on product pages from 18 to 28. The apps the client chose stayed in place, at their call. Two apps were billing to track what the store's own Google channel already did. I removed them, checked the tracking was clean, and took $199 a year off the app bill. Repeat clients going back to 2018. One store has come back for 14 projects over four years. How I work: A paid check first. It measures the real problem, no guessing. If you go ahead, I take the fee off the fix price. Work in stages. You approve each one. Every delivery ends with before and after numbers, and a short list of the next things I found. 80+ projects done. Clients in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and Denmark. Send me your store address. I will tell you what slows it down, whether your numbers add up, and what a complaint would find first. No commitment.
