Migrate Magento to Shopify
Migrate your Magento or Adobe Commerce store to Shopify with a comprehensive replatforming strategy—covering everything from data and SEO to UX/UI and ERP integrations—to reduce technological complexity and set your business up for growth.
Migrating from Magento to Shopify
Magento—now known as Adobe Commerce—enables the development of highly customized and complex e-commerce operations. This capability can also result in greater demands in terms of development, infrastructure, updates, and maintenance.
At Basicamente Digital , we analyze the existing architecture before planning the migration to Shopify or Shopify Plus. The goal is not simply to move the store, but to rebuild the operation using an architecture that meets the business’s current and future requirements.

Reduce the complexity of the technological operation
Magento operations may involve on-premises or managed infrastructure, extensions, custom development, and various components that need to evolve together.
Shopify shifts a significant portion of the responsibility for the core infrastructure to the platform itself. This can reduce the burden associated with technology maintenance and allow teams to focus more resources on the e-commerce experience, operations, and growth.
Before the migration, we review extensions and custom features to determine how each requirement will be implemented in Shopify.

We'll migrate your Magento store's data
Magento and Shopify use different data models. A migration should begin by assessing the existing structure and mapping the information to the new platform.
In complex operations, there may be custom attributes, different product types, multiple stores, customer groups, and historical data that require specific handling.
We analyze what needs to be migrated, transformed, or reorganized before beginning the data transfer.

We Maintain SEO During the Replatforming Process
A Magento store can accumulate thousands of indexed URLs over the years. Changing the platform without planning the transition can result in 404 errors and the loss of signals associated with the previous URLs.
Before go-live, we identify the relevant pages and map them between the Magento architecture and the new Shopify structure.
The SEO migration is prepared before the platform change and monitored after the launch.

We integrate Shopify with your ERP
Migrating from Magento to Shopify does not require replacing the ERP system or rebuilding the entire business infrastructure.
Shopify can serve as the e-commerce platform while ERP, CRM, logistics, and other systems continue to perform their respective functions within the operation.
We have developed the necessary integrations to automate the flow of information between Shopify and these systems.

Custom middleware for Shopify integrations
Larger Magento operations often have critical integrations with ERP and other systems. When migrating to Shopify, these workflows must continue to operate in a controlled and monitored manner.
Basicamente Digital uses its own middleware as an intermediary layer between Shopify and enterprise systems, allowing it to control synchronization processes and take action when errors occur.
When the architecture of the systems involved allows it, updates can be processed in seconds.

Shopify Plus for more complex operations
For larger Magento or Adobe Commerce projects, those with B2B requirements, multiple markets, or advanced needs, Shopify Plus may be an architecture option to consider.
The choice between the different Shopify plans depends on the actual requirements of the business. We do not assume that a company migrating from Magento automatically needs Shopify Plus.
The goal is to select the architecture that best suits the business and avoid complexity that does not add value.

A comprehensive replatforming process
The migration can be carried out in parallel with the existing Magento operation, allowing you to set up and test the new store before the transition.
We start by assessing the current architecture, extensions, customizations, product catalog, integrations, and SEO. From there, we determine what needs to be migrated, rebuilt, or simplified in Shopify.

When does it make sense to migrate to Shopify?
Magento and Adobe Commerce remain suitable for certain operations. A migration should take place because it resolves specific problems or creates better conditions for the company’s future strategy.
Shopify is worth considering when an organization wants to simplify its technology architecture, reduce infrastructure-related responsibilities, or focus more resources on the business growth of its e-commerce operations.
