SHOPIFY MIGRATION
Shopify Migration: Move to Shopify Plus from WooCommerce, Magento or BigCommerce
How much does a Shopify migration cost? A WooCommerce to Shopify migration starts at €8,600, Magento to Shopify from €10,000, and BigCommerce to Shopify from €8,100 — including full data transfer, 301 redirect mapping, SEO preservation, and zero-downtime launch.
But Conversion Design doesn't just migrate your data. Every Shopify migration includes a conversion-designed new Shopify Plus store built with our CRO process — so you don't just move platforms, you upgrade to a store that converts at 2.0–3.5%+ from day one.

(01) OVERVIEW
Why migrate to a conversion-designed Shopify Plus store?
Most Shopify migrations are treated as data transfers — move the products, move the customers, keep the same design. That's a missed opportunity. Whether you're planning a WooCommerce to Shopify migration, a Magento to Shopify migration, or a BigCommerce to Shopify migration, you're already investing in a new platform. Why not invest in a conversion-designed store that actually converts better?
At Conversion Design, every Shopify migration includes a conversion-designed new Shopify Plus store. We don't replicate your old WooCommerce theme or Magento template — we rebuild from scratch using our CRO process: benefit-first product page design, friction-free ecommerce checkout optimization, mobile-first UX, and sub-1.2-second load times. The result is a Shopify Plus store that isn't just faster and more scalable — it converts more visitors into buyers from day one, with a 96/100 PageSpeed score and conversion rates of 2.0–3.5%+ vs the 1.4% industry average.
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. And for brands running ads on Meta and TikTok, the Shopify migration is also the perfect time to align your new store with Conversion Creatives — our ad creative retainer producing Static Ads, UGC Videos, B-Roll, and Landing Pages. Same team, same visual system, seamless ad-to-store-to-checkout continuity.

(04) PROCESS
The Shopify Plus migration process
01
Discovery & Audit
We analyze your current WooCommerce, Magento, or BigCommerce platform — data structure, product catalog complexity, customer records, existing integrations (ERP, CRM, Klaviyo, reviews), and full SEO footprint including indexed URLs and backlink profile. We identify Shopify migration risks and map the highest-impact conversion opportunities for your new store.

We identify Shopify migration risks and map the highest-impact conversion opportunities for your new store.
02
Redirect Mapping
Every URL on your old site is mapped to its Shopify Plus equivalent. Category pages, product pages, blog posts, custom pages — all get 301 redirects to preserve your hard-earned SEO authority and Google rankings. We budget €2,000–€5,000 for thorough redirect mapping because this is the most critical step in any Shopify migration — a single broken redirect can tank your organic traffic.
03
Conversion-Designed Store Build
While data migration is prepared in parallel, we design and develop your new conversion-designed Shopify Plus store using our CRO process. Every product page uses benefit-first hierarchy, strategic social proof placement, and conversion-focused CTAs. Checkout is redesigned for friction-free completion with trust signals and progress indicators. Mobile-first ecommerce UX for the 70%+ of your traffic on mobile. Target: 96/100 PageSpeed and 2.0–3.5%+ conversion rate from launch.
04
Data Migration & QA
All products, variants, images, customer records, order history, and metadata are migrated to Shopify Plus. We run comprehensive QA — checking every product listing, every 301 redirect, every ERP/CRM/Klaviyo integration, and every payment/tax configuration across all markets. No data loss. No broken links. No surprises at launch.
05
Launch & Post-Migration Monitoring
Zero-downtime DNS cutover during low-traffic hours — your customers see no interruption. 48-hour post-launch monitoring of all redirects, checkout flow, and payment processing. Google Search Console and GA4 analytics verification to confirm SEO preservation. Ongoing Shopify maintenance and conversion testing support available from €500/month.
