Shopify Plus Migration

When Shopify Plus stops
scaling with you.

Shopify Plus is a great platform - until it isn't. If you're hitting customization walls, B2B limitations, or app dependency issues, you need a platform built for the complexity your business demands. We migrate in as few as 4 weeks, with zero data loss and full SEO preservation.

01 // The Signs

Shopify Plus is holding you back if...

1
You're fighting the checkout. Shopify's checkout is a walled garden. Even on Plus, your customization options are limited for multi-step, B2B quoting, or subscription logic.
2
You're paying for 15+ apps to get basic functionality. Each app adds cost, latency, and a potential point of failure. On Adobe Commerce, most of this is built-in or custom-built once and owned forever.
3
Your B2B needs are real. Shopify Plus's B2B features are bolted on, not native. Contract management, purchase order workflows, multi-level approval chains? You need a platform built for B2B.
4
You need multi-store without paying per-store. On Shopify Plus, each additional store is $2,300+/month. On Adobe Commerce, one instance serves unlimited storefronts.
5
Your developers are fighting Liquid. Shopify's templating language is limited compared to Adobe Commerce's architecture. If your team is constantly hitting walls, it's time.
6
You want to own your data and infrastructure. On Shopify Plus, you're renting. The platform controls your hosting, your checkout, your data access.

05 // Common Concerns

What founders ask before migrating

No. We create comprehensive 301 redirect maps for every Shopify URL. We've completed platform migrations with zero ranking loss. SEO preservation isn't a bonus — it's baked into our process from day one.

Hosting costs are slightly higher ($200–$500/mo vs Shopify Plus's included hosting), but you eliminate $2,000–$5,000/mo in app subscriptions. Most retailers break even or save money overall.

For content updates, product management, and order processing — no. Adobe Commerce's admin panel is mature and capable. For development work, you'll want a Magento specialist (that's us).

Yes. We can run Shopify Plus and Adobe Commerce in parallel during migration, with traffic gradually shifted over. This is common for high-volume stores.

We'll tell you. During discovery, if we determine Shopify Plus actually serves your needs (or another platform fits better), we'll say so.
