A complex source catalogue crossing one cutover seam into an ordered destination store.

Replace Magento without carrying every complication into Shopify.

Attribute sets, configurable products, store views, customer groups, price rules and integrations need a destination decision, not a bulk transfer.

The decisions that set the scope

Product structure

We map attribute sets, simple and configurable products, bundles, media and category relationships. Representative products from each attribute family are tested before the full run.

Store views and markets

Languages, currencies, catalogues and domain structures do not map one for one. We agree the Shopify market, store or language model before building templates or importing data.

Customer groups and pricing

Group prices, catalog rules, trade accounts and price lists may require Shopify B2B, apps or custom work. The destination is agreed from real rules and sample accounts, not inferred from the group name.

Integrations

ERP, PIM, warehouse, accounting and search systems are often central to a Magento setup. We inventory data flows, owners, volumes and failure handling, then price the integration work separately from record transfer.

URL rewrites

Magento's rewrite table may already contain years of history. We combine it with a live crawl and Search Console data where available, then rebuild redirects to the final destination rather than adding another hop to an old chain.

Validation and cutover

The sample stage covers each distinct product and customer rule. The full migration is checked against source counts and representative records. Agreed order and catalogue changes made during the build are carried in the cutover delta. The switch includes buying, payment, fulfilment, integration and redirect checks.

We do not promise uninterrupted trading or retained rankings. The proposal will state the cutover method and the dependencies that sit outside UltraLabs' control.

What this work starts at

Migration delivery

Scoped after source review

Data only

Data migration

From £1,000From $1,300

Products, customers, orders and content mapped into a Shopify store that already exists or is priced separately. Fixed once source access and a sample migration are reviewed.

  • Documented mapping of the selected entities
  • Sample migration before the full run
  • Validation against the source records
  • Redirect mapping where URLs change

Migration and build

Shopify launch

From £5,000From $6,500

Moving to Shopify and building the store in one project, so the data and the storefront land together rather than in two disconnected pieces of work.

  • Store build, configuration and templates
  • Managed data migration within stated limits
  • Redirects, analytics and technical SEO baseline
  • Launch, training and short post-launch support

Starting price

Plus, B2B, multi-market

Advanced Shopify

From £8,000From $10,500

Shopify Plus, B2B, multi-market, multi-language, custom integrations or headless work. These configurations are sized after discovery, not instant-priced.

  • Trade accounts, price lists and B2B rules
  • Multi-market and multi-language configuration
  • ERP, PIM, WMS and accounting integrations
  • Headless or custom storefront work where justified

Starting price · scoped after discovery

Multi-store, B2B and ERP-driven Magento migrations are scoped after discovery. A published figure before the attribute sets and integrations have been reviewed would be a guess.

Questions

Your questions

Is Shopify capable of replacing Magento?

For most catalogues, yes, and for some configurations the honest answer is that it depends on the plan. Multi-market structures, customer-group pricing and complex B2B rules need Shopify Plus or a rethink of the requirement. We would rather establish that in discovery than during a build.

What happens to our customer groups?

They are reviewed rather than transferred. How they are reproduced depends on your destination plan and on what the groups are really doing: trade pricing, access control, tax treatment or a mixture. Each of those has a different Shopify answer.

Do we have to bring ten years of orders?

No, and often you should not. Historical orders can be archived outside the storefront while a recent window is imported. That decision is worth making early, because order volume is one of the larger cost drivers.

Can we keep our current Magento design?

It can be approximated, but reproducing a heavily customised storefront on a different platform is usually the most expensive way to spend a replatform budget. We normally recommend a restrained implementation and putting the difference into catalogue structure.

Those three things size the move more honestly than the catalogue total.
