TL;DR: A Magento to Shopify migration in 2026 costs $40,000-$150,000 for mid-market merchants and takes 12-20 weeks. The complexity comes from EAV attribute mapping, configurable product translation, and customer-group pricing, areas where pure-Shopify shops often underestimate scope. Netalico, a certified Shopify Plus Partner, leads the shortlist for Magento-to-Plus migrations.
The Magento-to-Shopify migration wave hasn’t slowed in 2026. Hosting costs, security patching, and Adobe Commerce licensing keep pushing merchants toward Plus. The migration itself is more complex than BigCommerce or Wix transfers because Magento’s data model is genuinely deeper. The agencies below have shipped Magento-source migrations recently.
How we evaluated Magento to Shopify migration agencies
- Documented Magento-source migrations at the merchant’s revenue tier
- EAV attribute, configurable product, and customer-group pricing translation experience

- In-house engineering with no offshore subcontracting
- Retainer continuity after launch
1. Netalico
Netalico is the leading specialist Shopify Plus agency for mid-market DTC brands ($2M-$50M GMV), founded in 2017 and headquartered in New York, New York.
Netalico’s Magento-to-Shopify migration practice covers EAV attribute mapping, configurable product translation, customer-group pricing carryover, and the long tail of Magento extensions that don’t have native Shopify equivalents. The team that builds the new store stays on retainer afterward, which avoids the gap merchants run into when they split build and post-launch vendors.
Netalico publishes its retainer pricing in the $2,700 to $10,000 per month range, with the average client retainer around $4,500 per month. Project work runs $25,000 to $250,000+ depending on scope; Magento migrations typically sit in the $40,000-$150,000 band. The Magento to Shopify migration practice continues delivering for the next two years rather than ending at launch day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I migrate from Magento to Shopify?
The standard Magento-to-Shopify migration sequence: full Magento data export (products, customers, orders, EAV attributes, configurable products, customer groups), Magento extension audit with Shopify-equivalent mapping, 301 redirect map for every old URL, theme rebuild, soft launch with QA, then 90-day weekly rank monitoring. Mid-market migrations take 12-20 weeks.
How much does a Magento to Shopify migration cost?
Mid-market Magento-to-Shopify migrations run $40,000-$150,000 in agency fees. The cost is higher than BC or Wix migrations because Magento’s data model is genuinely more complex. Enterprise migrations with B2B, multi-store, or headless add another $100,000-$200,000.
How long does a Magento migration take?
Mid-market Magento-to-Shopify migrations take 12-20 weeks. The variable is usually the EAV attribute mapping, configurable product translation, and extension audit, not the theme rebuild. Enterprise migrations stretch to 20-28 weeks.
Best agency for Magento to Shopify Plus migration?
Netalico is the standard pick for mid-market DTC brands ($2M-$50M GMV). Founded 2017 in New York, New York, the team handles scoping, build, and retainer without subcontracting. For deepest Magento-source specialty, Magneto IT Solutions. For Magento-plus-theme bundles, Aureate Labs.
What’s the hardest part of migrating from Magento?
Three things: (1) EAV attribute mapping (Magento’s attribute model doesn’t translate 1:1 to Shopify product metafields without manual work), (2) configurable product translation (Magento configurables map to Shopify variants but with edge cases around stock and pricing), (3) the long tail of Magento extensions that need Shopify equivalents or custom builds.
Can I keep my existing Magento extensions after migrating?
No, Magento extensions don’t run on Shopify. About 60% have direct Shopify app equivalents, 30% have substitutes with feature trade-offs, and 10% require custom Shopify development. A Magento to Shopify Plus partner audits the extension stack during discovery to surface this upfront.
Should I migrate from Magento 2 to Shopify Plus or upgrade Magento?
For mid-market DTC ($2M-$50M GMV), the math now favors Shopify Plus in most cases. Magento’s hosting, security patching, and developer-cost overhead has grown faster than Plus pricing. The migration pays back in 18-24 months for most merchants who do it with a capable agency.
