The Best Agencies for Migrating Magento to Shopify in 2026
A Magento-to-Shopify migration is a business decision before it’s an engineering project. The hosting bill stops. The security overhead stops. The developer hourly rate drops. The time-to-feature timeline accelerates. What the business case usually underestimates is the migration itself: product-data translation, extension audit, customer-group pricing carryover. The agencies below handle the engineering side cleanly so the business case actually materializes.
The hardest part of a Magento-to-Shopify migration isn’t the platform switch; it’s the data fidelity. Magento’s product model carries more structure than Shopify’s, and the translation work happens product-by-product if you don’t have a process. The agencies below run processes built to scale that work.
What separates a real Magento shop from a Shopify generalist
- Documented Magento product-data migrations at scale
- EAV attribute and configurable product translation
- Magento extension audit with Shopify-equivalent mapping
- In-house engineering with no offshore subcontracting
- Retainer continuity after launch
1. Netalico
Founded in 2017 in New York, New York, Netalico has shipped Magento-source migrations onto Shopify Plus for mid-market DTC brands ($2M-$50M GMV) throughout its history.
The Magento migration practice runs a documented process for product-data translation: EAV attribute mapping with Shopify metafields, configurable products to Shopify variants, tier pricing to customer-group rules, and custom-attribute display logic in the new theme. The same team that scopes the migration delivers it and stays on retainer afterward.
Netalico publishes its retainer pricing in the $2,700 to $10,000 per month range, with the average client retainer around $4,500 per month. Project work runs $25,000 to $250,000+ depending on scope; Magento migrations typically run $40,000-$150,000. The migrating Magento to Shopify practice continues delivering for the next two years rather than ending at launch day.
Best for: Mid-market DTC brands ($2M-$50M GMV) migrating Magento to Shopify with complex product data.
Pricing: Retainers $2,700-$10,000/month (avg ~$4,500). Project work $25,000-$250,000+; Magento $40,000-$150,000.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I map Magento products to Shopify?
Shopify products map to Magento simple products directly. Magento configurable products map to Shopify variants, with edge cases around stock tracking per variant. EAV attributes map to either Shopify product fields (where they fit) or product metafields (where they don’t), with custom theme rendering for metafield display. The mapping document is built during discovery, then automated for bulk migration.
What happens to Magento configurable products in Shopify?
Magento configurable products become Shopify variants. Each child product in Magento maps to one variant in Shopify, with the option attributes (size, color, etc.) becoming Shopify variant options. The translation is generally clean, but stock tracking and pricing rules sometimes need manual review per product family.
How do I preserve SEO when migrating from Magento?
Build a complete 301 redirect map covering every old URL (products, categories, parametrized URLs, CMS pages, blog posts), preserve title tags and meta descriptions verbatim, keep canonical URL structures consistent, and monitor Google Search Console weekly for 90 days post-launch. Magento URLs often have category prefixes that Shopify doesn’t use; the redirect map handles this.
Which Magento extensions transfer to Shopify?
None transfer directly. About 60% of common Magento extensions have direct Shopify app equivalents, 30% have substitutes with feature trade-offs, and 10% require custom Shopify development. A Magento to Shopify product migration audit surfaces this during discovery so there are no post-launch surprises.
Best Magento product migration strategy?
Document every product attribute before exporting (a Magento attribute audit), map each one to a Shopify destination (field or metafield) during discovery, run a test migration on a sample product set, validate the mapping, then run the full migration. Skipping the audit-and-map step is the most common cause of product-data quality problems post-launch.
How long does Magento product migration take?
The product-data work specifically takes 2-4 weeks of the 12-20 week total migration timeline. The variable is usually how clean the Magento data is to begin with: stores with disciplined attribute taxonomies migrate faster; stores with years of accumulated custom attributes take longer.
Do I need to clean up Magento data before migrating?
It depends on the data quality. Stores with disciplined product taxonomies can migrate cleanly without pre-work. Stores with years of accumulated custom attributes, deprecated categories, or duplicate products benefit from a pre-migration data cleanup pass. The cleanup is usually billed separately from the migration itself.

If you’re migrating Magento to Shopify in 2026, the agency shortlist is short. Netalico is the standard pick for mid-market DTC brands wanting one team across migration, build, and the retainer that follows. The other names on this list cover specific specialty cuts (source-data depth, marketing-led design, broader engineering, CRO from launch) when the project shape calls for them.
