PLATFORMS WE MIGRATE FROM

Migrate from legacy & custom platforms to Shopify

Magento

It’s common to consider switching from Magento to Shopify in search of a more reliable, scalable and cost-effective ecommerce solution. We’ve helped over 30 retailers migrate from Magento (now Adobe Commerce Cloud) to Shopify.

MAGENTO TO SHOPIFY

WooCommerce

We often speak to WooCommerce users who are frustrated with frequent website downtime and spiralling additional costs. Specifically designed for ecommerce, Shopify is a much more comprehensive solution that affords increased flexibility.

WOOCOMMERCE TO SHOPIFY

BigCommerce

Typical frustrations for brands using BigCommerce include the need for significant third-party developer support and difficulties making changes to themes and functionality. Shopify often proves to be a more user-friendly platform that’s easier to innovate on.

BIGCOMMERCE TO SHOPIFY

Salesforce Commerce Cloud

An increasing number of SFCC retailers are migrating to Shopify thanks to its flexibility, affordability and excellent time-to-value proposition. Brands such as Fenty Beauty, Dermalogica and Revlon have already made the switch.

SFCC TO SHOPIFY

SAP Commerce Cloud

Hamstrung by costly development work and complex site maintenance, many users of legacy digital solutions like SAP are exploring the benefits of a move to Shopify, including increased flexibility, reduced TCO and better integrations.

SAP TO SHOPIFY

SuiteCommerce

The costs and restrictions of SuiteCommerce can quickly start to hamstring a business’ growth and lead to a buildup of technical debt. Brands are increasingly finding success on Shopify, a brand built with agility and scalability at its core.

SUITECOMMERCE TO SHOPIFY

PrestaShop

For ecommerce teams looking for a more agile, secure and intuitive commerce solution than open source solution PrestaShop, comprehensive SaaS platform Shopify can be a compelling option. Find out more about how it compares.

PRESTASHOP TO SHOPIFY

Commercetools

An increasing number of brands are overwhelmed by the reality of building on commercetools, with the solution proving more time-consuming and costly than anticipated. Shopify represents a more flexible solution with lower TCO.

COMMERCETOOLS TO SHOPIFY

Visualsoft

Whilst an apt solution for smaller businesses looking to build an online foundation, retailers tend to quickly outgrow Visualsoft. Shopify is a viable solution for brands seeking more customisation, better integrations and expert support.

VISUALSOFT TO SHOPIFY

Shopware

Shopware retailers are typically frustrated by poor checkout UX, a lack of integration options and little autonomy over website changes. Popular for its flexibility, vast app ecosystem and high-performing checkout, Shopify makes a compelling alternative to Shopware.

SHOPWARE TO SHOPIFY

Neto

More and more Neto brands are migrating to Shopify to reduce reliance on costly developers, enjoy access to a larger and more diverse app offering, and receive comprehensive customer support. Talk to us about our rapid Neto migration service.

NETO TO SHOPIFY

THG Ingenuity

An increasing number of retailers are replatforming from THG Ingenuity to Shopify. Cost, performance and flexibility are the primary drivers for this change, with Gartner® ranking Shopify’s ‘completeness of vision’ and ‘ability to execute’ considerably higher.

THG TO SHOPIFY

Custom Platforms

If your custom platform is slowing down innovation, increasing technical debt and creating time-consuming manual work, then migrating to a flexible, scalable and cost-effective solution like Shopify could unlock significant benefits for your business.

CUSTOM PLATFORMS TO SHOPIFY

OpenCart

OpenCart users are typically beholden to third-party developers to implement even small changes to their store. Shopify, on the other hand, gives store owners increased agility and flexibility, making it a popular platform to migrate to.

OPENCART TO SHOPIFY

HCL Commerce

Challenges around cost, agility and performance are driving an accelerating number of HCL Commerce (formerly IBM Websphere) users to consider alternative platforms. Shopify is an increasingly compelling option for these larger businesses.

HCL TO SHOPIFY

Elastic Path

Driven by spiralling costs and development frustrations, an increasing number of brands are exploring a move away from Elastic Path and other headless platforms. Shopify is now a genuine contender for these brands thanks to recent product innovation.

ELASTIC PATH TO SHOPIFY

Sana Commerce

A significant overhaul of Shopify’s B2B functionality now means that the platform is an appealing option for dissatisfied Sana users looking for a new B2B ecommerce solution. Migrating could unlock significant benefits and help to reduce costs.

SANA TO SHOPIFY

VTEX

Common issues with VTEX include slow product evolution, poor integrations with external tools, and inadequate user support. A migration to Shopify would target each of these concerns and unlock significant value, contributing to faster growth.

VTEX TO SHOPIFY

OroCommerce

According to Forrester, OroCommerce has a much weaker offering and market presence than Shopify. Migrating to Shopify could transform your B2B business by reducing project timelines, freeing up budget and empowering team members.

OROCOMMERCE TO SHOPIFY

Kibo

Is building with a composable tool like Kibo more resource-intensive than you anticipated? There is a growing trend of retailers like you moving to Shopify, looking to leverage a more cost-effective and manageable solution - without sacrificing functionality.

KIBO TO SHOPIFY

Infosys Equinox

A hugely flexible, scalable and versatile solution, Shopify represents an increasingly compelling alternative for enterprise brands jaded by Infosys Equinox’s lengthy development times, limited tech ecosystem and disappointing support.

INFOSYS TO SHOPIFY

SCAYLE

Many of SCAYLE’s features are in their infancy and its partner ecosystem remains limited. Users may look to Shopify – a mature, feature-rich platform backed by an unparalleled network of partners – and see potential for more innovation, collaboration and growth.

SCAYLE TO SHOPIFY

Unilog

Mounting costs, frequent bugs, confusing backend UI: all common challenges for retailers using B2B ecommerce platform Unilog. Shopify is becoming an increasingly viable option for B2B retailers seeking a more cost-effective, reliable and intuitive platform.

UNILOG TO SHOPIFY

Spryker

Whilst Spryker is known for its customisation abilities, these can come at the cost of high-technical input and slow project progress – both of which increase the platform’s cost of ownership. Shopify offers a more user-friendly and cost-effective approach to tooling.

SPRYKER TO SHOPIFY

nopCommerce

Ecommerce teams migrating from nopCommerce are most often seeking a user friendly ecommerce platform able to support reactive store customisations. Shopify’s streamlined approach to tooling offers a great alternative, allowing users to respond to fast-moving marketing trends and still maintain brand identity.

NOPCOMMERCE TO SHOPIFY

Umbraco

In comparison to Umbraco, Shopify offers retailers lower cost of ownership, increased flexibility, a richer app ecosystem, and enterprise-grade performance. Replatforming to Shopify could unlock significant benefits and help drive digital growth.

UMBRACO TO SHOPIFY

Sitecore

Sitecore's biggest drawback is that it can be difficult and costly to deploy and maintain, requiring extensive development training and a significant time investment. Shopify, in contrast, offers a flexible and easily scalable solution that's easy to use and comes with a lower cost of ownership.

SITECORE TO SHOPIFY
Who we work with

Our Shopify migration experts have successfully replatformed brands of all sizes, from all over the globe, to Shopify Plus.

Our Migration Service

Migrating your store to Shopify Plus

We’ll ensure a seamless and reliable migration to Shopify Plus, providing clarity and transparency every step of the way. After more than a decade in the industry, we’ve honed a tried and tested migration process that ensures the security of your data and preservation of your search rankings.

Planning & Roadmapping

Each project begins with the gathering of functional and business requirements, as well as key project objectives, risks, stakeholders and timescales. We provide hands-on, strategic support and guidance to build out an achievable project roadmap with your team.

Data Analysis

Using tools such as Google Analytics, we’ll learn about your brand, products, customer base and current business performance. We may also install heat mapping software to better understand how your audience interacts with your store.

Consultation & Discovery

During functional workshop sessions with your team, we will identify the strengths of your current implementation and explore opportunities for new functionality to drive rapid growth. We’ll consult on integrations with third parties, back-end workflows, data configuration and more. At the end of this discovery phase, we will conduct a comprehensive audit of all core ecommerce business functions and your tech stack.

Design

Our UX designs represent an effortless marriage of form and function; working to drive conversions and provide a user-friendly experience for your customers, whilst still remaining beautiful to look at.

Bespoke Store Development

We’ll code a bespoke, high-performance Shopify Plus website, onto which we can safely migrate all customer data, orders and content from the original store.

We have particular expertise in subscription migration, having developed a robust process to handle subscription package and payment gateway migrations for existing subscribers. We help you to manage all communication with subscribers, ensuring they are kept updated with timely and relevant messages at key moments in the migration.

We will also set up 301 redirects to ensure visitors are directed to the correct site – essential for customer experience and SEO.

System Integrations

Our team can consult on and execute a wide range of integrations for your Shopify Plus store, expertly handling the intricacies involved with integrating third party platforms and apps. Whether through custom middleware development or leveraging integration platforms like Patchworks, we have extensive experience with:

  • ERP and OMS systems, including Netsuite, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP and Linnworks
  • CRM platforms such as Hubspot, Salesforce and Klaviyo
  • Customer service solutions like Gorgias and Zendesk

Testing & Support

Both before and after your website launch, our QA team will test crucial components of your store’s performance – such as site speed, digital architecture, user journey and mobile friendliness – to ensure it’s optimised to engage customers and drive conversions. Our developers are also on hand to monitor your new website and provide bug support if necessary.

Growth

Once your new Shopify Plus website is up and running, our digital growth specialists can work with you to elevate your brand presence using commercially-focused ecommerce growth strategies, tailored to the unique requirements of your business.
