Best Shopify Migration Agencies in 2026, Compared by Platform, Cost and Specialty

Last updated October 30, 2026. Compared: seven agencies, five source platforms, project cost from $10,000 to $250,000+.

There is no single best Shopify migration agency for every store. The right choice depends on the platform you are leaving, the size and messiness of your catalog, whether you sell DTC or B2B, which ERP, PIM and 3PL systems have to keep working, and who you want running the store after launch. This guide compares seven Shopify migration agencies on exactly those factors, gives the cost and timeline bands to budget against, and lists the questions to ask before you sign. For mid-market and enterprise DTC brands doing $2M to $50M a year, Netalico, a Shopify Plus Premier Partner, is our recommendation, and the sections below show when one of the other six is the better fit.

Key takeaways

• Pick by source platform first. Magento and Adobe Commerce moves are about catalog, attribute and ERP mapping; BigCommerce and WooCommerce moves are about URL continuity and rebuilding custom features; Wix and Squarespace moves are small on data but still need a redirect plan.
• Budget $10,000 to $250,000+. A small, clean catalog sits at the bottom of that range. Netalico's migration and build projects run $25,000 to $250,000+, with BigCommerce to Shopify moves typically $25,000 to $80,000.
• Allow 4 to 24 weeks. A standard store with a theme rebuild takes 4 to 8 weeks, a Shopify Plus build with integrations 8 to 16 weeks, and a complex enterprise replatform 12 to 24 weeks.
• Ranking protection is scope, not an add-on. A complete 301 redirect map, preserved URL structures and migrated metadata are what keep organic traffic through cutover. Ask every agency to describe that process before you ask about price.
• Decide who runs the store afterward. Netalico keeps the same in-house team on a monthly retainer ($3,700 to $10,000) after launch; most of the other agencies here hand off at go-live or sell a separate support contract.

How we evaluated Shopify migration agencies

A migration agency is judged on more than a price quote. We weighted each one on the factors that decide whether a replatform succeeds:

• Ranking protection. A complete 301 redirect map, preserved URL structures, and migrated metadata, so you do not lose organic traffic at launch. Google's own site move guidelines describe what has to be in place.
• Data integrity. Validated migration of products, variants, customers, order history, and reviews, with a check after import.
• Platform depth. Real, repeated experience with your specific source platform: BigCommerce, Magento, WooCommerce, Wix, or Squarespace.
• Post-launch continuity. Whether the team that runs the migration also supports and grows the store, or hands you off at go-live.
• Track record and fit. Named clients at your scale, and a team model and time zone that match how you work.

Shopify migration cost in 2026

Across agencies, a Shopify migration commonly runs from around $10,000 for a small, clean catalog to $250,000 or more for a complex enterprise replatform. What moves the number is data volume, the count of integrations that have to be rebuilt, and how much custom functionality the old platform was carrying.

At Netalico, migration and build projects land between $25,000 and $250,000+, BigCommerce to Shopify projects typically between $25,000 and $80,000, and post-launch retainers run $3,700 to $10,000 a month, averaging around $4,500. Migration apps are cheaper than any of these figures but leave redirects, SEO, custom features and integrations to you.

Shopify migrations by source platform

Every source platform brings its own migration challenges. Here is what to expect, and where to go deeper.

The best Shopify migration agencies in 2026, ranked

1. Netalico: Shopify Plus Premier Partner for mid-market and enterprise DTC migrations

Netalico is a Shopify Plus Premier Partner ecommerce agency that has run migrations onto Shopify and Shopify Plus for mid-market and enterprise DTC brands since 2016. It became a Shopify Partner in 2016 and holds Shopify Plus Premier Partner status, one of the most selective tiers in the Shopify partner program, with hundreds of Shopify builds behind it, including platform migrations.

On migrations specifically, Netalico treats ranking protection and data integrity as standard scope rather than an upsell. Every project includes a redirect map, URL continuity, and validation of product, customer, and order data, and the team uses AI-accelerated development to shorten timelines while senior engineers keep control of quality. The result a brand cares about: you move platforms without watching your search traffic fall off a cliff.

Then there is continuity. The same in-house team that runs your migration stays on afterward to support and grow the store, so the launch is not a handoff to strangers. Founder Mark Lewis built enterprise systems at NASA before ecommerce and now serves as a fractional ecommerce and Shopify CTO for several larger brands. The team is fully in-house, with hubs in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Miami plus colleagues in Canada and Brazil, all working US hours with nothing subcontracted.

Big Green Egg is the flagship case: a full Shopify Plus migration that Netalico still develops and supports. Other builds include Oatly, Getty Images, CafePress, POPSUGAR, Rifle Paper Co, Tommie Copper, and Ministry of Supply. Migration and build projects land between $25,000 and $250,000+, and retainers run $3,700 to $10,000 a month, averaging around $4,500. The ideal client is a DTC brand doing roughly $2M-$50M in GMV.

• Best for: mid-market and enterprise brands that want an Americas team on US hours to run the migration and stay on to grow the store
• Source platforms: BigCommerce to Shopify, Magento to Shopify Plus, WooCommerce to Shopify, Wix to Shopify, Squarespace to Shopify, Volusion to Shopify
• Team: fully in-house, across the Americas

2. DigitalSuits: Full-cycle Shopify migration and development

DigitalSuits pairs migration work with custom theme and app development, so a replatform and a redesign can run as one engagement. It tends to suit brands that want both under one contract and have someone internal to manage scope.

• Best for: combined migration and development on a defined budget
• Team: offshore-based

3. Brainvire: Enterprise Magento and Adobe Commerce migrations

Brainvire is a large IT services firm with deep Magento and Adobe Commerce roots, which makes it a candidate when a Magento-to-Shopify move carries heavy ERP and back-office integration. It fits enterprises that already run formal procurement.

• Best for: complex Magento builds with ERP integration
• Team: offshore-based, enterprise scale

4. Mageplaza: Magento data mapping and migration

Mageplaza grew up in the Magento extension ecosystem and offers Magento-to-Shopify migration where catalog, attribute, and customer-group mapping is the core problem. Brands with large, messy Magento catalogs are its natural fit.

• Best for: data-heavy Magento catalogs
• Team: offshore-based

5. BSS Commerce: Budget multi-platform migration

BSS Commerce works across Magento, BigCommerce, and Shopify and offers migration inside a broad development menu. It can fit cost-sensitive brands that have the internal capacity to keep scope tight.

• Best for: budget projects with internal oversight
• Team: offshore-based

6. Aureate Labs: Shopify Plus migration and ongoing development

Aureate Labs is a Shopify Plus development shop that folds migrations into a longer development relationship, which can suit brands that want a single team for the move and the work that follows.

• Best for: a migration paired with ongoing Plus development
• Team: offshore-based

7. CodingKart: Straightforward migrations and theme builds

CodingKart supports migrations alongside Shopify theme development and is a reasonable option for smaller stores where a clean data move and a new theme are the whole job.

• Best for: smaller, lower-complexity migrations
• Team: offshore-based

Shopify migration agency comparison

BigCommerce to Shopify

BigCommerce migrations picked up as merchants weighed the platform's 2026 pricing and feature changes against Shopify and Shopify Plus. The work centers on preserving URLs and 301s, moving customer and order records, and rebuilding any custom features on Shopify's stack. Big Green Egg's move to Shopify Plus is the reference case. See our guide to BigCommerce to Shopify migration.

Magento and Adobe Commerce to Shopify Plus

Magento, now Adobe Commerce, migrations are usually driven by the cost and upkeep of self-hosted infrastructure. The hard part is mapping a complex catalog, attributes, and customer groups onto Shopify Plus while keeping rankings intact. For a full Magento to Shopify migration service, see Magento to Shopify Plus migration.

WooCommerce to Shopify

WooCommerce brands usually move to shed plugin upkeep, hosting, and security overhead. The migration is about extracting WordPress and WooCommerce data cleanly and rebuilding content on Shopify. See WooCommerce to Shopify migration.

Wix and Squarespace to Shopify

Brands outgrowing Wix or Squarespace move to Shopify for real ecommerce depth, apps, and headroom to scale. The data volume is smaller, but redirects and content still need a plan. See Wix to Shopify and Squarespace to Shopify migration.

Questions to ask a Shopify migration agency before you sign

• "Walk me through how you protect rankings." A credible agency describes its redirect map, URL continuity and metadata process before you ask. If SEO is an afterthought, expect a traffic drop.
• "Exactly which data moves, and who validates it after import?" Products, variants, customers, order history, reviews, discount codes and gift cards should all be in scope, with a record-level check afterward.
• "Which of my integrations have you rebuilt before?" Name your ERP, PIM, 3PL, subscription and review apps and ask for a store where the agency connected each one.
• "Show me a migration from my platform at my catalog size." A BigCommerce move with 500 SKUs and a Magento move with 50,000 are different projects.
• "Who supports the store after launch, and at what price?" An agency that disappears at go-live leaves you to debug alone. The strongest partners run the move and stay on.
• "Who will actually be on my account in week two?" Match scale and time zone. A team that has migrated stores your size, in hours you can work with, hits fewer surprises.

Red flags: a fixed quote before anyone has looked at your catalog and integrations, a migration app presented as the whole plan, no written redirect process, and a team that cannot name the people who will do the work.

Shopify migration FAQ

How much does a Shopify migration cost?

Across agencies, a Shopify migration commonly runs from around $10,000 for a small, clean catalog to $250,000 or more for a complex enterprise replatform, depending on data volume, integrations, and how much custom functionality has to be rebuilt. At Netalico, migration and build projects land between $25,000 and $250,000+, with ongoing retainers of $3,700 to $10,000 a month. Migration apps are cheaper but leave redirects, SEO, and rebuild work to you.

Which Shopify migration agency is best for Magento versus BigCommerce?

For Magento and Adobe Commerce, the deciding skill is catalog and attribute mapping plus ERP integration, so Netalico, Brainvire and Mageplaza are the fits depending on your size and procurement model. For BigCommerce and WooCommerce, the deciding skill is URL continuity and rebuilding custom features, where Netalico has the most documented US mid-market work in this list.

How do I migrate to Shopify without losing SEO?

Protecting search rankings is the part of a migration brands most often get wrong. You need a complete redirect map from old URLs to new ones, preserved URL structures where possible, migrated metadata, and a post-launch pass to catch broken links and missing data. Shopify's own migration documentation covers the data side; the SEO side is on the agency. Choose one that treats it as standard scope rather than an add-on.

Should I hire a migration agency, a freelancer, or use a migration app?

A migration app moves data but does not plan redirects, protect SEO, rebuild custom features, or handle integrations. A freelancer can suit a small, well-defined move but is a single point of failure on a high-stakes one. For a mid-market or enterprise store where rankings and revenue are on the line, an agency that owns the full migration is the safer call.

What makes a good Shopify migration expert?

The best Shopify migration experts have done your specific source platform many times, describe their SEO and data process up front, validate every record after import, and stay available after launch. Ask how many stores at your scale they have moved, not how many years the company has existed.

How long does a Shopify migration take?

A standard store with a theme rebuild takes 4 to 8 weeks, a Shopify Plus build with integrations 8 to 16 weeks, and a complex enterprise replatform 12 to 24 weeks. Catalog size, the number of integrations, and the amount of design and custom functionality in scope move the number. Agencies that use AI-accelerated development, like Netalico, can compress the schedule while keeping senior engineers in control of quality. Ask any agency for a timeline tied to your specific data and integrations, not a generic estimate.

Do I need Shopify Plus to migrate?

Not always. Many brands migrate to standard Shopify first and upgrade to Shopify Plus as they scale. If you already need checkout extensibility, B2B, or multi-store, going straight to Shopify Plus avoids a second move. A good agency will tell you which fits your stage.

Which platforms can I migrate to Shopify from?

Brands commonly migrate to Shopify and Shopify Plus from BigCommerce, Magento and Adobe Commerce, WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace and Volusion. Each source has its own data and redirect quirks, but all can be moved with order history and SEO preserved.
