Magento to Shopify
Moving to a new platform also called migrating or re-platforming is an important step for your business. This step, although potentially stressful, marks the beginning of a new growth phase for your web shop.
Switching from Magento to Shopify is a crucial move for your business, and you now face a choice: will you take on this challenge yourself, or will you rely on experts? Despite the availability of standard tools, such a migration is fraught with complexity. From maintaining your SEO ranking, minimizing downtime to navigating the hidden risks.
In our five years of existence, we have successfully moved many stores to a new platform. Our main tip is to keep the process small and manageable, as the step is big enough. Want to know how we can guide you through this? Then make an appointment right away

Execute: For this we use the sprint model and , depending on the size of the assignment, this is in a single sprint or in multiple sprints.

Can my Magento webshop continue to run while performing the migration?
Of course, customers can still visit the current web shop. What you do need to pay attention to is that no changes may be made to the product data during the migration. So the advice is to implement new collections or price changes before the start of the project.
Will a migration affect my rankings within search engines (such as Google)?
When you change platforms, it always affects your search engine rankings. In the short term, often negative, because you remove, for example, many old products that did build up a certain ranking. See this as an investment, because in the long term the positive effect is much greater. Precisely because your shop is renewed (read: technically better) and cleaned up. If desired, we offer help with supervising SEO redirects. For comprehensive SEO advice, we advise our customers to contact such experts.
Can I control what you do or do not move?
Certainly, in the quote we look at all elements of the current web shop and you decide what we will include.
How long does a migration take?
This depends on the size of the data sets, such as the number of products. Once all preparatory work has been done, a webshop is migrated in a few days on average. During this period your old shop and/or cash register system will remain online. Only after all data has been transferred will we change the old system to the new system.
What happens to my customer data from the old shop?
To answer this properly, we split customer data into three parts: order history, customer data and customer accounts. It is not possible to transfer order history into the new shop. Customer data (contact information, e-mail, address, etc.) will be transferred into the new environment, however. Customer accounts contain secure data such as login and password, we cannot migrate this.
