Magento is costing you more than you think
Adobe Commerce licensing, dedicated hosting, security patches, developer fees at £85/hour. The UK Magento store count has dropped from 12,000 to under 7,000 in three years. The developer pool is shrinking. The costs are rising. Moving off Magento is simply a question of when.
Security risk
Magento 1 has been unsupported since June 2020. Six years without security patches. 93% of M1 stores carry a high or critical security risk rating. Card payments on M1 are running through an insecure checkout.
Rising costs
Hosting, maintenance, developer fees, extension licences. The typical Magento total cost of ownership runs £50,000 to £150,000 per year. Shopify bundles hosting, security and updates into one predictable monthly fee.
Developer shortage
Experienced Magento 2 developers are increasingly difficult to find and expensive to retain. Shopify's ecosystem is larger, more accessible and open to a wider range of development languages.
Slow agencies
The standard agency quote for a Magento to Shopify migration is £20,000 to £75,000 with a timeline of three to six months. Complex migrations can exceed £200,000 and take over a year. That is why this has been on the back burner.

Questions
What happens to my SEO rankings?
Every URL on your Magento store gets a 301 redirect to its Shopify equivalent. Google follows the redirect and transfers the ranking authority. We also generate fresh SEO titles and meta descriptions using AI, which typically improves your search visibility from day one.
Does my current site stay live during the migration?
Absolutely. Your Magento store stays live throughout the entire process. We build your Shopify store on a separate development domain. When you are ready to switch, it is a DNS change. Your current site continues to operate until you decide to go live on Shopify.
Will my conversion rate improve on Shopify?
Shopify has the highest converting checkout of any ecommerce platform. Shop Pay, Shopify's accelerated checkout, converts up to 50% better than guest checkout. The entire flow is optimised into a single page with auto-filled addresses, express payment options including Apple Pay, Google Pay and Shop Pay, and a frictionless one-step experience from cart to confirmation. Most merchants see an immediate uplift in conversion rate after migrating.
What if I have more than 2,000 products?
We have migrated stores with over 15,000 products. Larger catalogues are handled on a case-by-case basis. Get in touch with your store URL and we will confirm pricing within 24 hours.
Will my theme look exactly the same?
We visually match your current design on Shopify. The layout, branding, colours and structure will feel familiar to your existing customers. Some elements may be enhanced where Shopify offers better native functionality.
What about customer data and order history?
The fixed-price service covers product data, content and design. Customer accounts and order history migration are available as an add-on. Customer passwords require a reset on the new store due to encryption differences between platforms — this is standard across all Magento migrations.
How long does it take?
Most stores receive their demo within a few days. The timeline depends on catalogue size and complexity. You will receive your dev store link as soon as it is ready for review.
Can you migrate Magento 1 stores?
Yes. Magento 1 has been unsupported since June 2020 and migration is increasingly urgent for stores still running on it. Our process works with both Magento 1 and Magento 2 stores. ---
