A $10,000 Magento-to-Shopify quote and a $100,000 quote can both be reasonable. The difference is rarely the act of moving products from one database to another. The real cost comes from rebuilding everything around the catalog: custom functionality, integrations, B2B workflows, design, historical data, SEO, testing, and launch risk.
Quick answer: As a broad 2026 planning benchmark, a Magento to Shopify migration may cost roughly $5,000–$20,000 for a relatively simple store, $20,000–$60,000 for a mid-market project, and $60,000–$150,000+ for a complex enterprise migration. Published 2026 agency estimates vary widely, so these figures are budgeting ranges, not fixed quotes.
The most accurate way to estimate Magento to Shopify migration cost is to scope the project by data complexity, integrations, custom features, B2B requirements, design, and SEO, not by SKU count alone.
Magento to Shopify Migration Cost at a Glance
| Store profile | Typical complexity | Planning range |
|---|---|---|
| Small / straightforward | Simple catalog, standard theme, few apps | $5,000–$20,000 |
| Mid-market | Larger catalog, custom theme, several integrations | $20,000–$60,000 |
| Enterprise / B2B | ERP/PIM, custom pricing, large catalog, advanced workflows | $60,000–$150,000+ |
These are market planning ranges, not an ECommerce Partners price list. A reliable estimate requires technical discovery.

What Determines Magento to Shopify Migration Cost?
1. Catalog and Data Complexity
A store with 2,000 simple products can be easier to migrate than one with 500 products using complex attributes, bundles, customer-specific pricing, and years of order history.
Magento data often needs to be mapped into Shopify products, variants, metafields, customer records, orders, media, and redirects. Shopify supports CSV imports and migration tools, but some data cannot be moved through a simple CSV workflow. See Shopify’s official migration documentation.
2. Theme and Front-End Development
Magento themes cannot simply be copied into Shopify. The storefront normally needs to be rebuilt using Shopify’s theme architecture.
Custom design, advanced filtering, complex product pages, international storefronts, accessibility work, or headless architecture can all increase scope.
3. Extensions and Custom Functionality
A mature Magento store may have accumulated dozens of extensions. Each one needs a decision: keep the functionality, replace it with a Shopify app, rebuild it, or retire it.
This is why stores with similar catalog sizes can have very different budgets. Before requesting a quote, inventory active extensions and identify which ones truly support revenue or operations.
4. ERP, PIM, CRM, and Other Integrations
For mid-market and enterprise merchants, integrations can cost more than the catalog transfer itself. ERP, PIM, CRM, OMS, 3PL, tax, loyalty, and custom warehouse systems must be mapped, authenticated, tested, and monitored.
Custom middleware or manual synchronization can require a new integration architecture. Our Shopify Plus development services cover complex integrations and migrations.
5. B2B and Wholesale Requirements
B2B migrations become more complex when they include company accounts, negotiated pricing, payment terms, permissions, catalogs, and custom purchasing workflows.
An important 2026 change is that Shopify B2B is available on Basic, Grow, Advanced, and Plus, although limits vary. Standard plans currently support up to three active catalogs across all B2B markets, while Plus supports unlimited catalogs and additional company-level capabilities. See Shopify’s official B2B features by plan.
So B2B does not automatically mean Shopify Plus; the correct plan depends on your requirements.
6. SEO Preservation
SEO should be scoped before development begins, not during launch week.
Magento and Shopify use different URL structures, so migration normally requires redirect mapping, metadata preservation, canonical checks, internal-link updates, structured-data review, sitemap updates, and analytics validation.
Skipping this work can turn a cheaper migration into an expensive traffic-recovery project. Shopify’s official store migration checklist is a useful baseline alongside a Magento-specific SEO plan.
7. QA, Launch, and Post-Migration Support
A migration is not finished when the data appears in Shopify. Checkout, payments, taxes, shipping, search, customer accounts, integrations, redirects, analytics, and real order flows all need testing.
Complex stores also need a clear cutover and post-launch monitoring plan.
What Does Shopify Cost After the Migration?
Migration is a one-time project cost; Shopify’s subscription is ongoing.
As of August 2026, Shopify’s US pricing page lists monthly prices of $39 for Basic, $105 for Grow, $399 for Advanced, and Shopify Plus starting at $2,300 per month on a 3-year term ($2,500 on a 1-year term). Annual billing reduces the advertised Basic, Grow, and Advanced monthly equivalents to $29, $79, and $299. Check the current Shopify pricing page before budgeting because pricing can change.
Also budget for apps, integrations, and ongoing development. For the broader comparison, see our Magento vs. Shopify Plus total cost of ownership analysis.
Real-World Example: A 50,000+ SKU Magento Migration
Large catalogs show why migration price cannot be calculated from SKU count alone.
For QC Supply, ECommerce Partners migrated a 50,000+ SKU Magento catalog to Shopify Plus, built a custom B2B portal, and integrated ERP and PIM systems. The project also included B2B company workflows, customer-specific catalogs, search functionality, and performance improvements.

The takeaway: an enterprise migration is a replatforming program, not simply a data import.
How to Reduce Magento to Shopify Migration Cost
The goal should not be the lowest quote. It should be removing unnecessary scope without creating launch risk.
- Retire unused extensions. Do not rebuild functionality nobody needs.
- Clean product data first. Remove duplicate products, obsolete attributes, and inconsistent taxonomy.
- Separate must-haves from nice-to-haves. Move noncritical features to a post-launch roadmap.
- Audit integrations early. Unknown ERP or fulfillment requirements create expensive scope changes.
- Map SEO redirects before launch. Prevention is cheaper than recovering lost rankings.
- Avoid rebuilding Magento inside Shopify. Use Shopify-native functionality when it meets the requirement.
How to Get an Accurate Migration Quote
A credible estimate should be based on a technical audit. Before speaking with an agency, prepare:
- Product/SKU count and catalog structure
- Customer and historical order volume
- Magento edition and version
- Active extensions and custom modules
- ERP, PIM, CRM, OMS, and 3PL integrations
- B2B pricing and company-account requirements
- Storefronts, languages, and regions
- Design requirements
- Organic traffic and high-value URLs
- Required launch date
If you are planning a migration, ECommerce Partners can assess your architecture, integrations, B2B requirements, SEO risks, and timeline before development begins. Request a Magento migration assessment for a scope and cost estimate based on your store.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to migrate Magento to Shopify?
A Magento to Shopify migration may range from roughly $5,000–$20,000 for a straightforward store to $60,000–$150,000+ for a complex enterprise project. Integrations, custom functionality, B2B requirements, design, and SEO work can matter more than SKU count alone.
How long does a Magento to Shopify migration take?
A straightforward migration may take several weeks, while a complex B2B or enterprise replatform can take several months. ECommerce Partners’ current migration guidance estimates 12–20 weeks for standard projects and 20–30 weeks for advanced projects, depending on catalog size, integrations, and B2B complexity.
Do I need Shopify Plus to migrate from Magento?
No. The right Shopify plan depends on your requirements. Basic, Grow, Advanced, and Plus all support Shopify B2B in 2026, but Plus provides higher limits and additional capabilities.
What is the most expensive part of a Magento to Shopify migration?
For complex stores, integrations and custom functionality often create more work than basic product migration. ERP connections, B2B pricing, custom modules, theme development, and SEO preservation can significantly increase scope.
Can I migrate Magento to Shopify myself?
A small store can move some data using CSV files or migration tools. Stores with custom Magento features, integrations, B2B requirements, or meaningful organic traffic usually need additional technical and SEO support.
Will migrating from Magento to Shopify hurt SEO?
It does not have to, but migrations create SEO risk because URLs, templates, internal links, metadata, and structured data can change. A redirect map, pre-launch crawl, analytics validation, and post-launch monitoring should be part of the plan.
