Migrate to Shopify Plus from WooCommerce, Magento or BigCommerce

Moving to Shopify Plus? Conversion Design handles the entire migration, product and customer data transfer, 301 redirect mapping, SEO preservation, and zero-downtime launch. But we don't just migrate your data. Every migration includes a conversion-designed new Shopify Plus store built with our CRO process.

Ervin PrislanFOUNDER, CONVERSION DESIGN

Across 200+ DTC and ecommerce brands, our conversion design methodology produces stores with 90+ mobile PageSpeed and measurably higher checkout completion rates. You don't just move platforms, you upgrade to a store built to convert, with the rate measured before and after the move.

Why Migrate to a Conversion-Designed Shopify Plus Store?

Most platform migrations are treated as data transfers, move the products, move the customers, keep the same design. That's a missed opportunity. If you're migrating from WooCommerce, Magento, or BigCommerce, you're already investing in a new platform. Why not invest in a store that actually converts better?

At Conversion Design, every migration includes a conversion-designed new Shopify Plus store. We don't replicate your old design, we rebuild it using our CRO process: benefit-first product pages, friction-free checkout, mobile-first UX, and sub-1.2-second load times.

This is what separates a Shopify Plus agency migration from a freelancer migration: you get the platform upgrade AND the conversion rate upgrade in one project.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a Shopify Plus migration take?

A standard platform migration takes 4–8 weeks. A full enterprise migration with complex integrations takes 8–16+ weeks. At Conversion Design, the migration itself happens in parallel with the new conversion-designed store build, so total timeline is usually 6–12 weeks.

Will I lose my SEO rankings during migration?

Not if the migration is done correctly. Conversion Design includes comprehensive 301 redirect mapping in every migration, every old URL is redirected to its Shopify Plus equivalent. We also preserve meta titles, descriptions, and structured data.

Can I migrate from WooCommerce to Shopify Plus?

Yes. WooCommerce to Shopify Plus is one of the most common migrations we handle. We transfer all products, variants, images, customer records, and order history. Total cost: €8,600–€75,000 depending on scope.

Do you also build the new Shopify store during migration?

Yes, every migration by Conversion Design includes a conversion-designed new Shopify Plus store. We don't just move your data to a template. Stores built during migration ship at the same 90+ mobile PageSpeed as our standalone builds, with the conversion rate measured before and after the move.
