Shopify to Magento migration: adapt your store to your needs
A Shopify to Magento migration may address customization or integration needs that have become difficult to cover in the current setup. AXELITES helps verify this decision and describe the functions genuinely needed before transferring the catalog or rebuilding the sales journey.
A store that connects your customers and your tools
Prepare a change in platform and operations
App analysis
We list the functions provided by Shopify apps. Their usefulness and exchanges are described to choose a suitable Magento solution rather than a replacement based solely on name.
Catalog migration
Products, variants and content are mapped to the target model. Data available for export is checked before migration rules and scope are defined.
Magento operations
Hosting, maintenance and monitoring responsibilities are defined. This preparation assesses the change's implications beyond store customization possibilities.
Transition experience
Customer access, links and messages are examined during migration. Potential migration limitations are anticipated to prepare clear information for affected users.
How we move forward together
Validate the decision
We describe constraints encountered in Shopify and desired functions. Expected benefits are compared with new responsibilities to confirm the target platform's suitability.
Define equivalents
Data, apps and integrations are matched to Magento functions. Elements requiring development or adaptation are distinguished from directly achievable migrations.
Build and check
The target store is populated with representative data and then completed. Sales journeys and management tools are verified with operational owners.
Prepare launch
Final updates, URLs and opening checks are organized. Teams have the access and procedures needed to monitor initial orders.
A migration scope, validation checks and a cutover plan agreed before the switch.
Start with the functions you need
Installed apps may manage pricing rules, subscriptions, messages or data exchanges. We describe these uses before selecting their Magento equivalent. The catalog and content are mapped to the target structure. Export limitations and information to migrate are checked to avoid promising complete transfer of elements that actually require rebuilding or special handling.
Organize new technical responsibilities
Moving to Magento requires specifying hosting, updates, monitoring and support conditions. These tasks must be understood before launch, not discovered after migration. We prepare administration procedures and connection checks with the teams who will operate the store. Old URLs and checkout journeys are also examined to keep the transition understandable for customers.
Examine apps and genuinely recoverable data
Subscriptions, loyalty, reviews, gift cards or shipping services may depend on apps separate from Shopify. For each retained use, we verify export possibilities, available interfaces and target behavior in Magento. A catalog export alone does not cover these needs.
The theme and apps are not transferred unchanged. Journeys must be rebuilt and customer account access constraints studied. Hosting, updates and maintenance of the new installation are organized with the owners who will handle them.
Prepare SEO and order cutover
Useful old URLs are mapped to new destinations to establish relevant redirects. Important product, category and content pages are checked with their tags, internal links and sitemap inclusion. A migration does not guarantee retained rankings; it requires post-launch monitoring.
A migration rehearsal compares volumes and validates purchasing journeys. The cutover plans the final data to transfer, launch criteria and rollback conditions. Orders received during transition must have an identified destination and owner.
Migration deliverables and support
The agreed scope specifies data mappings, replaced functions, retained interfaces and acceptance scenarios. Redirect rules, the cutover plan and administration instructions complete preparation. Migration limitations are explained before launch is approved.
After migration, initial orders, errors and synchronizations are observed during the agreed period. Magento maintenance can take over for fixes and enhancements.

Your questions, our answers
Practical answers to help you make the right decisions before starting your project.
Discuss my projectNo. The choice depends on commercial rules, integrations and your ability to operate the solution. Migration must address precise constraints. We examine needs before considering greater customization a sufficient advantage.
Their functions must be studied separately. An app may have an equivalent, require another integration or need development. The project also inventories the data it uses to avoid rebuilding the interface while losing processing essential to the store.
The new platform involves different procedures and responsibilities. Maintenance, support and training needs are defined in the project. Initial uses verify actual operations and identify adjustments teams require.
We list important old URLs and their destinations, then verify redirects, tags and links. Monitoring indexing and errors after launch enables observed discrepancies to be addressed.
