Top Shopify Migration Companies: Moving from Magento or WooCommerce

Moving to Shopify from Magento or WooCommerce is one of the most commercially significant decisions an eCommerce business can make. It is also one of the easiest to get wrong.

A poorly managed migration can wipe out years of built-up organic search rankings, break integrations that drive fulfilment and finance, and leave you with a Shopify store that runs worse than the one you left. Done properly, it clears the path to faster growth, lower maintenance overhead, and a platform that scales without the complexity of what came before.

This guide was put together by the KiwiCommerce team, Shopify Experts and Adobe Commerce Certified developers based in Cheshire, UK, with 250+ eCommerce projects delivered since 2016. We cover both Magento and WooCommerce migrations and know what separates a migration that goes smoothly from one that does not.

Before choosing an agency, it is worth understanding that Magento-to-Shopify and WooCommerce-to-Shopify are not the same type of project. They require different skills and carry different risks.

Magento migrations are primarily about escaping infrastructure complexity. Magento stores, particularly older Magento 1 stores or heavily customised Magento 2 installations, accumulate custom modules, complex B2B pricing rules, bespoke checkout logic, and ERP integrations that have been built up over years. Migrating these to Shopify requires an agency that understands both platforms deeply. The outgoing code needs to be read and understood before the incoming Shopify build is designed. A team that only knows Shopify will guess at what the Magento logic was doing. A team that knows both will map it accurately.

WooCommerce migrations have a different challenge: they involve leaving WordPress entirely. WooCommerce plugins do not transfer to Shopify. WordPress blog content, custom post types, and CMS pages all need careful handling. Subscription plugins, membership plugins, and loyalty tools built on WordPress need Shopify equivalents found, configured, and tested before go-live. The migration is as much about replacing the WordPress ecosystem as it is about moving the store.

Choosing an agency that has genuinely done both types and can tell you honestly which applies to your specific setup is the starting point. Our WooCommerce vs Magento comparison covers the platform differences in detail if you are also weighing whether Shopify is the right destination.

A Shopify migration agency is judged on more than whether they can move your data. Four things separate a good migration partner from one that creates problems you spend months recovering from.

SEO migration capability. This is where most migrations lose value. Your current store has accumulated organic search rankings, inbound links, and indexed pages. Every URL that changes without a proper 301 redirect in place is a ranking lost. A credible migration agency completes URL redirect mapping before any data moves not as an afterthought after launch. Our SEO Migration Checklist covers exactly what needs to happen on the SEO side before and after a migration.

Data integrity process. Moving products, customer records, and order history sounds straightforward. In practice, data arrives in different shapes from Magento and WooCommerce, with inconsistent formatting, duplicate records, and missing metadata that needs cleaning before import. Ask any agency how they validate data after import not just whether they can move it.

Platform knowledge on both sides. An agency that only knows Shopify approaches a Magento migration by looking at your Magento store from the outside. An agency that is certified on both platforms reads the database structure, understands the module dependencies, and designs the Shopify build around what the Magento store was actually doing. KiwiCommerce’s Adobe Commerce Certified status alongside Shopify Expert accreditation is what makes the difference here.

Post-launch support. The first 30–90 days after a migration go-live are the highest-risk period. Integrations that tested fine in staging behave differently under production traffic. Search Console flags unexpected crawl errors. Payment flows reveal edge cases not seen in testing. An agency that hands the project over at launch and disappears is a liability.

1. KiwiCommerce

• Location: Handforth, Cheshire, UK
• Founded: 2016
• Accreditation: Shopify Experts, Adobe Commerce Certified, Hyvä Bronze Partner
• Migration services: Magento to Shopify, Magento to Shopify Plus, WooCommerce to Shopify, WordPress to Shopify, OpenCart to Shopify, PrestaShop to Shopify

KiwiCommerce is the only agency on this list holding both official Shopify Expert accreditation and Adobe Commerce Certified status the combination that directly addresses the most common failure point in Magento-to-Shopify migrations.

For Magento migrations, the Adobe Commerce Certified credential means the team reads the outgoing platform with the same depth as the incoming one. Custom modules, B2B pricing configurations, ERP integrations, and bespoke checkout logic are mapped and understood before the Shopify build is designed. This is what prevents the post-launch discovery that a critical business function was not accounted for during migration planning. The dedicated Magento to Shopify Migration service covers this in full, and the Magento to Shopify Migration Checklist is available for merchants planning the process.

For Shopify Plus migrations where custom checkout logic, B2B buyer portals, and multi-market configuration need rebuilding as well as the data transferred, the Magento to Shopify Plus Migration service covers the additional scope that Plus brings.

For WooCommerce migrations, the WooCommerce to Shopify Migration service handles the full WordPress ecosystem replacement: product and customer data transfer, blog content migration, plugin-to-app mapping, and SEO continuity throughout. WordPress blog content is handled carefully, not simply abandoned or dumped as plain text.

Post-migration, 100+ stores are on active Shopify Maintenance Services retainers; the same team that handled the migration continues to manage the store, which eliminates the knowledge transfer gap that trips up so many post-launch periods. Speak to the KiwiCommerce team about your migration.

2. MageCloud

• Location: UK-registered
• Founded: 2014
• Accreditation: Amazon AWS Partner, Google Cloud Partner, Magento certified
• Specialisation: Magento and Shopify migrations, cloud infrastructure, eCommerce development

MageCloud covers Magento-to-Shopify migration with infrastructure expertise that goes beyond the application layer. Their cloud certifications, AWS and Google Cloud, are directly relevant for migrations where the hosting environment is part of the problem, not just the platform. For Magento merchants moving away from self-hosted infrastructure, having a team that understands both the Magento application and the server environment underneath it reduces the migration risk considerably.

Worth considering if: Your Magento migration involves moving away from complex self-hosted infrastructure alongside the platform change, and you need an agency with cloud capability alongside Shopify delivery.

3. Absolute Design

• Location: Nottingham, UK
• Founded: Not publicly stated
• Accreditation: Shopify Partner, Magento capable
• Specialisation: Magento to Shopify migrations, eCommerce design, UK retail brands

Absolute Design is a Nottingham-based agency appearing consistently in UK Magento-to-Shopify migration lists. Their work covers the full migration scope data transfer, redirect mapping, theme development, and post-launch support for UK retail brands making the move from Magento. Their case study output focuses on fashion and lifestyle clients, and their process combines migration with a storefront redesign for merchants wanting to arrive on Shopify with an improved look alongside the platform change.

Worth considering if: You are a UK fashion or lifestyle brand migrating from Magento and want migration combined with a storefront redesign, handled by a Nottingham-based team with UK retail experience.

4. Kubix Media

• Location: UK
• Founded: Approx. 2016
• Accreditation: Shopify Partner
• Specialisation: Shopify builds and migrations, eCommerce design, digital marketing

Kubix Media handles Shopify migrations as part of a wider eCommerce offer covering design, development, and digital marketing. Their migration work covers WooCommerce and other platforms onto Shopify, with a focus on arriving at launch with a store that is ready to market, not just technically functional. For merchants who want migration and post-launch growth marketing managed by one agency rather than coordinated across two, their combined model suits that brief.

Worth considering if: You are migrating from WooCommerce to Shopify and want design, development, and post-launch marketing handled by a single UK agency rather than split across separate suppliers.

5. Heseven

• Location: UK-based
• Founded: 2018
• Accreditation: Shopify Partner
• Specialisation: Shopify store setup, migration, theme customisation, ongoing maintenance

Heseven has handled platform migrations to Shopify for UK clients since 2018, covering both WooCommerce and other CMS platforms. Their migration work is positioned at the more accessible end of the market: straightforward data transfers, redirect handling, and Shopify setup rather than complex enterprise migrations with deep ERP integrations. Positive GoodFirms reviews reference reliable communication and on-time delivery.

Worth considering if: Your store is a smaller WooCommerce or CMS-based site without complex integrations, and you need a reliable UK-based Shopify migration at an accessible budget.

6. Pixie Commerce

• Location: UK
• Founded: Not publicly stated
• Accreditation: Hyvä Silver Partner, Shopify capable
• Specialisation: Magento and Hyvä development, eCommerce migration

Pixie Commerce is a UK Hyvä Silver Partner that covers migration work alongside their core Magento and Hyvä development offer. For merchants migrating from Magento to Shopify, their Magento platform knowledge on the outgoing side adds depth to the migration analysis, particularly for stores with Hyvä frontends that need careful handling during the data extraction phase.

Worth considering if: You are migrating from a Magento store that is already on Hyvä, and you want a UK agency with Hyvä platform knowledge on the outgoing side alongside Shopify delivery on the incoming side.

7. Ziffity Solutions

• Location: USA (global delivery, UK clients)
• Founded: Not publicly stated
• Accreditation: Shopify Plus Partner, Adobe Commerce partner
• Specialisation: Magento to Shopify migrations, custom builds, ERP integration

Ziffity handles Magento-to-Shopify migrations with dual-platform experience on both sides, covering data migration, theme development, and ERP integration rebuilding as part of the migration scope. Their US base means timezone differences for UK merchants, but their Adobe Commerce experience alongside Shopify delivery gives them migration depth for complex Magento setups. They work with medium and large businesses rather than small stores.

Worth considering if: Your Magento store has a complex architecture, custom modules, ERP integration, or a large catalogue, and you are comfortable with a US-based migration team with strong Adobe Commerce credentials.

8. Tigren

• Location: Vietnam (global delivery)
• Founded: Approx. 2012
• Accreditation: Shopify Partner, Magento specialist
• Specialisation: Magento to Shopify migration, WooCommerce to Shopify, theme development

Tigren covers both Magento-to-Shopify and WooCommerce-to-Shopify migrations with published processes for each. Their pricing is at the more accessible end of the market. For merchants with clearly scoped migration requirements, a standard catalogue, limited custom functionality, and no complex ERP, they offer a cost-effective delivery option. Note: Vietnam-based, with timezone and communication differences to manage for UK projects.

Worth considering if: Your migration is clearly scoped, budget is a primary constraint, the platform complexity is manageable, and you are comfortable with a remote team in a different timezone.

handled correctly.

Your current store has accumulated ranking positions for product pages, category pages, and informational content over months or years. Those rankings are tied to specific URLs. When you move to Shopify, almost every URL changes; Shopify has its own URL structure for products (/products/slug), collections (/collections/slug), and pages. Every old URL that does not have a 301 redirect pointing to its Shopify equivalent becomes a dead end for both users and Google.

The solution is a complete URL redirect map produced before any data moves. Every indexed page on your current store checked against Google Search Console data gets a matching Shopify URL and a 301 redirect. This is painstaking work for a large catalogue, but it is the difference between a migration that maintains rankings and one that drops 30–50% of organic traffic in the first 90 days. Our SEO Migration Checklist and Magento to Shopify Migration Checklist cover both the technical and SEO tasks that need completing before go-live.

Beyond redirects, metadata needs transferring accurately every product title tag, meta description, and alt text needs to exist on the Shopify store from day one. Canonical tags need correct implementation. Structured data for products and breadcrumbs needs rebuilding on the Shopify side. None of this is complicated when it is planned in advance. All of it causes problems when it is left for after launch.

Not every Magento merchant should move to Shopify. This question deserves an honest answer before any migration planning begins.

Shopify suits merchants who want managed hosting, lower technical maintenance overhead, and access to a large app ecosystem for extending the store. It is a strong fit for DTC, fashion, lifestyle, and B2C retail brands whose complexity is primarily in marketing and customer experience rather than backend business logic.

Magento and Adobe Commerce suit merchants with complex B2B requirements, company-specific pricing, multi-warehouse inventory, complex product configurators, or procurement workflows that require deeply custom backend logic. These capabilities exist on Shopify Plus in some form, but rarely with the same depth or flexibility that Magento offers natively.

The honest answer is: if your Magento store’s main problem is that it is slow, expensive to maintain, and hard to extend because the codebase is old migration is worth considering seriously. If your Magento store is slow because of poor performance configuration but the business logic is complex and working well fixing the performance issues on Magento may be more cost-effective than rebuilding everything on Shopify.

KiwiCommerce holds certified expertise on both platforms and gives honest recommendations based on your actual business requirements. Our Magento vs Adobe Commerce guide covers the Magento ecosystem for those considering whether to upgrade rather than migrate, and the Shopify vs Shopify Plus guide covers which Shopify tier is appropriate if you do decide to move.

Every agency in this guide was assessed on their verifiable Shopify accreditation, evidence of Magento or WooCommerce migration capability, UK presence or UK-client track record, and post-launch support model.

Agencies with Shopify Platinum Partner status, 400+ documented migration projects, or enterprise client portfolios significantly above the mid-market UK merchant profile were excluded. Agencies appearing in Clutch’s top global rankings with strong verified review counts were also excluded this list is built for UK merchants who need accessible, certified migration help, not enterprise procurement.

Moving to Shopify is the right decision for many UK merchants. But the quality of the agency you choose determines whether the migration becomes a platform upgrade or an expensive setback.

KiwiCommerce has been delivering eCommerce migrations since 2016. Our certified team understands both the platforms merchants are leaving and the platform they are moving to.
