What a Magento to Shopify migration covers

Shero manages Magento to Shopify migrations covering catalog and data transfer, SEO redirect mapping, custom functionality rebuild, integration migration, and B2B configuration for wholesale operations. Magento 1 and Magento 2 migrations each carry specific risks. Shero audits both before recommending an approach.

  • Magento 1 and Magento 2 migrations
  • Catalog, customer, and order data transfer
  • SEO redirect mapping and monitoring
  • Custom module rebuild or replacement
  • ERP and third-party integration rebuild
  • B2B and wholesale configuration

Why Magento brands choose Shero for the move to Shopify

A team that only knows Shopify will underestimate what Magento stores are carrying. A team that only knows Magento will over-engineer the Shopify build. Shero has deep experience on both.

01

Magento module inventory before any build starts

Magento stores accumulate custom modules, third-party extensions, and overrides over years. Shero audits every module in discovery to determine what Shopify covers natively, what needs an app, and what requires custom development. Painful Pleasures required this audit before a line of Shopify code was written.

02

Loyalty and rewards programs preserved through migration

Alto Music's loyalty program was central to their repeat purchase model. Shero preserved it through the Magento to Shopify migration by designing the Shopify equivalent before migration began, not retrofitting it after. Customer points balances and tier statuses transferred intact.

03

ERP integrations rebuilt for Shopify's API, not repointed

Magento ERP integrations built on Magento's API cannot be repointed at Shopify. Shero rebuilds them using Shopify's Admin API, designing data mappings for Shopify's product and order models during discovery so the integration is live from go-live.

04

B2B wholesale configuration live from day one

Painful Pleasures' wholesale operation needed to be functional on the day the Shopify store launched. Shero designed the Shopify Plus B2B configuration during the migration project so wholesale accounts, pricing, and catalog access were ready from launch, not added post-go-live.

05

Magento URL structure mapped to Shopify before go-live

Magento and Shopify use different URL patterns for products, categories, and CMS pages. Shero maps the full URL set in discovery and implements 301 redirects before DNS cutover. Benchmade's large catalog of knife and gear pages transferred with rankings intact.

06

Reduced platform cost is a measurable migration outcome

Magento's infrastructure, hosting, and ongoing maintenance costs typically exceed Shopify Plus subscription costs for stores of comparable size. Shero documents the expected cost reduction as part of the business case for migration, not as a general claim.

How Shero manages Magento to Shopify migrations

01

Discovery: Magento Audit

We audit the Magento store: custom modules, third-party extensions, catalog structure, ERP dependencies, B2B configuration, and URL set. We identify what Shopify covers natively and what needs rebuilding.

02

Architecture: Shopify Store Design

We design the Shopify catalog taxonomy, URL structure, integration specifications, and B2B configuration. Custom functionality decisions are made at this stage, not during build.

03

Build: Migration and Development

We migrate catalog, customer, and order data, build the Shopify theme, rebuild integrations for Shopify's API, and implement 301 redirects. All workstreams run in parallel.

04

UAT: Full Validation

We validate migrated data against the Magento source, test every integration, verify redirect coverage, and confirm performance before approving go-live.

05

Launch: Cutover and Monitoring

DNS cutover runs with the Magento store live until the last moment. Shero monitors rankings, crawl errors, and redirect performance in the first 72 hours.

06

Post-Launch: 90-Day Monitoring

Rankings, crawl health, and conversion are monitored for 90 days. Most clients continue into an ongoing Shopify support engagement with the migration team.
