Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be downtime during the migration process?
No significant downtime is expected. The migration is executed in stages, with the existing Magento site running until the final cutover. With proper planning and staging, any downtime is kept to a minimum, ensuring business continuity.
What is the typical timeline for migrating from Magento to Shopify Plus?
Timelines range from 8–12 weeks for mid-sized brands to 4–6 months for large catalogs or enterprise rollouts, with added time for complex ERP/CRM integrations and multi-store setups to ensure long-term scalability.
What should we budget for a migration of this scale?
Costs include Shopify Plus licensing (~$2,000/mo — $2,500/mo), data and content migration, custom theme development, app integrations, and SEO safeguards. Enterprises should also account for QA, training, and post-launch optimization. Every project is scoped individually, but budgets typically range from mid-five figures upward depending on complexity.
Can all customer, order, and product data be migrated?
Yes. Customer profiles, order histories, and product catalogs are migrated with precision. Passwords cannot be migrated directly due to encryption, but we implement reactivation flows so customers can reset securely without disruption.
How will SEO equity and rankings be preserved?
A comprehensive SEO migration plan with 301 redirects, metadata and structured data mapping, plus post-launch monitoring ensures search visibility and traffic remain protected during the transition.
What happens to our current Magento design and custom functionality?
Magento themes are not portable to Shopify. Instead, we rebuild the brand experience using Shopify Plus templates and Liquid, optimized for performance and conversion. Custom Magento features are replicated through vetted Shopify apps or custom development, ensuring parity or enhancement.
How are third-party integrations handled?
ERP, CRM, PIM, OMS, and marketing tool integrations are reviewed and re-implemented on Shopify Plus. When direct connectors don’t exist, custom middleware or API development ensures enterprise systems remain seamlessly connected.
How do you guarantee data integrity during migration?
We conduct multiple validation rounds, from test exports/imports to full QA, ensuring product data, customer records, and transactional history are transferred without loss or corruption. Clean-up of outdated or duplicate data is often included.
What is the post-launch support model?
Absolute Web provides dedicated QA, training, and optimization after launch. We also offer retainers for ongoing CRO, performance optimization, and feature enhancements so your team has a long-term partner beyond go-live.
