Hiring a migration expert: What you need to know
When should I hire a migration expert?
Hire one when your current platform is slow, costly to maintain or hard for your team to update, or when you want to merge several stores into one Shopify store, without losing products, customers, orders or search rankings on the way.
What skills should I look for in a migration expert?
Look for completed migrations from your current platform, data mapping and import tools like Matrixify, 301 redirect planning, and experience moving apps, integrations and subscriptions. Ask how they check data before cutover and how they support the store after launch.
How much does it cost to hire a migration expert?
Costs depend on catalog size, data, integrations and design. Migrations to Shopify often cost $10,000-$50,000, with large or heavily customized stores at the higher end. Experts quote price, timeline and scope upfront, and getting quotes is free.

Common Questions
Still not sure? Book a demo
Which platforms can we move to Shopify from?
Common sources include Magento and Adobe Commerce, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace, Wix and custom-built platforms. Clean exports can often be imported with tools like Matrixify, while custom platforms and heavily modified stores usually need scripts written for your data.
What data can be moved to Shopify?
Products and variants, collections, customers, historical orders, blog posts and pages can all be moved, with redirects for old URLs. Customer passwords cannot, but Shopify’s customer accounts sign shoppers in with their email and a one-time code instead. Plan how you will tell them.
How do we protect our search rankings?
Map every old URL with traffic or links to its new Shopify address and set up 301 redirects before launch. Shopify uses fixed paths such as /products/ and /collections/, so most URLs change. Then watch Search Console for errors in the weeks after cutover.
How long does a migration to Shopify take?
Simpler stores, such as many WooCommerce sites, often move in six to ten weeks. Magento or Adobe Commerce stores with large catalogs, B2B pricing or ERP links typically take three to six months, including data checks, redirects and testing. Plan the cutover away from your peak season.
Will our subscriptions move over?
Yes, with planning. Subscription apps such as Recharge, Skio and Loop have their own migration processes, and whether saved payment details can move depends on your current payment provider. Test renewals with a small group of subscribers before moving everyone.
Will the store go offline during the switch?
It should not. The new store is built and tested while the old one keeps trading. At cutover, a final sync brings over the latest orders and customers, then your domain is pointed to Shopify, usually at a quiet time of day.
Can we redesign the store during the migration?
You can, and many brands do. Others move their current design first and redesign later, which keeps scope and risk lower. A migration expert can help you weigh launch dates, budget and how much should change at once.
