Best Shopify Migration Agencies in 2026: 10 Teams Compared
Choosing a Shopify migration agency is a bigger decision than choosing Shopify. The platform is a known quantity. The team that moves your catalog, order history, customer accounts and rankings onto it is where migrations succeed or quietly fail. This list compares ten agencies that do migration as a core service, not as a line item, and starts with what to look for so the ranking makes sense.
Short answer: for stores between roughly 200K and 5M in annual revenue that need a fixed price and a fixed timeline, Presta’s 4-week sprint (we are the team behind this list, so weigh that as you like) is the most predictable option here. For enterprise replatforms with large in-house engineering needs, craftberry, Solo Media Group and Swanky are the strongest picks. For UK brands that want design and migration in one project, We Make Websites, Velstar and Charle are the natural shortlist.

How we ranked these Shopify migration agencies
Five things separate a real migration specialist from a generalist that lists “migration” among forty services:
- A written method. Is there a defined, repeatable process with a staging rehearsal before cutover, or is every project improvised?
- Data integrity. Can the team move variable products, historical orders, customer accounts, reviews and metafields record by record, and prove it before launch?
- SEO continuity. Is 301 mapping, metadata transfer and structured data rebuild treated as launch-critical, with rankings monitored after go-live?
- Integration depth. Are ERP, payment gateway, B2B pricing and subscription connections rebuilt on Shopify, or dropped?
- Pricing model. Fixed price and timeline agreed before the project, or hourly estimates that drift?
We gave extra weight to teams with documented work on complicated sources (Magento, split data across two platforms, large variant counts, B2B tiers), because those are the projects that expose whether a process exists.

The 10 best Shopify migration agencies in 2026
1. craftberry
craftberry is a certified Shopify Plus agency in Europe with more than a decade working only inside the Shopify ecosystem and a 30-plus in-house team of senior developers, designers and CRO specialists. Where most agencies treat migration as a data transfer with a theme on top, craftberry treats it as a systems rebuild: custom functionality from the old platform is re-engineered as Shopify apps, ERP, WMS and payment connections are rebuilt against Shopify’s APIs, and large or non-standard catalogs get custom metafield architectures, including the workarounds needed above Shopify’s native 250-variant ceiling.
Their published migration work includes Shelly (Shopware to Shopify Plus, with an international multi-currency setup and a later A/B test that lifted conversion 11%), Pepper (a full Shopify Plus rebuild with multi-region internationalisation and ADA compliance), Pro Energetic, Plamexs and Carpet Warehouse, each with measured post-launch results.
Best for: enterprise brands leaving Shopware, Magento or custom builds that need custom app development and CRO from the same team.
Watch for: the scope is the point. Small stores will find the engagement heavier than they need.
Disclosure: craftberry’s placement on this list is sponsored. It was evaluated on the same five criteria as every other agency here.
2. Presta
Presta is a Belgrade-based digital product agency founded in 2014 that runs Shopify and Shopify Plus migrations as a fixed-scope, fixed-price sprint. Clients are mostly DTC and B2B stores in the EU, the UK, the US and Australia doing between a few hundred thousand and several million a year, which is exactly the segment where a botched migration hurts most and enterprise agency pricing makes no sense.
What makes Presta different is the shape of the engagement. Every project starts with a free migration analysis of the current store (data, integrations, SEO risk), and comes back as a fixed quote and a week-by-week plan. The 4-week sprint runs audit and plan, build and configure, migrate and test, then launch and optimise, with the old store selling throughout and cutover done in a low-traffic window. Zero downtime and zero data loss are written into the contract, not the marketing.
Two projects show the range. EP Flies, a fly-fishing brand, had product data in WooCommerce and orders and customers in Ecwid, with 80 to 90 colour variants per product and three price tiers (retail, wholesale at 50% off, guides at 25% off) plus case quantities in multiples of six. Presta merged both sources into one Shopify store with the B2B logic intact. Ardon, a D2C brand selling across EU markets, went live in six weeks with a fully automated, ERP-integrated store and local payment gateways (WSPay and Corvus Pay), and reported a 32% reduction in cart abandonment after launch.
Best for: WooCommerce, Magento and Ecwid stores that need the migration done properly in a month, with B2B pricing, ERP connections or local EU payment gateways handled inside the same scope.
Watch for: Presta is a small senior team, not a 100-person agency. If you need a dedicated squad of eight engineers for six months, look at craftberry or Swanky.
Pricing: fixed price per phase. Typical WooCommerce migrations land between 9,000 and 12,000 EUR; simple catalogs come in lower, ERP and B2B builds higher. Get a free migration analysis and fixed quote or estimate your budget with the Shopify migration cost guide.
3. Solo Media Group
Solo Media Group is a Shopify Platinum Partner headquartered in New York with teams in Los Angeles and Miami. Since 2018 the team has delivered more than 75 replatforms onto Shopify and Shopify Plus from Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and custom builds. Their migration work is organised around preserving what the old store already earned: URL structure and rankings, order history and customer accounts. B2B and wholesale channel builds, ERP and API integrations and in-house CRO and Klaviyo work sit alongside the technical move. Clients include Manukora, Medik8 and Wild Planet Foods.
Best for: US mid-market DTC and B2B brands that want the replatform and the commercial rebuild owned by one team.
4. Elogic Commerce
Elogic Commerce runs an audit-first migration method. The engagement opens with a technical audit of the current store, cataloguing structure, module dependencies and custom logic, before any data moves. That upfront rigour is what prevents post-launch surprises on stores with heavy customisation, subscriptions or large catalogs where “the data will transfer cleanly” is usually the first assumption to break.
Best for: brands leaving Magento or a custom platform with ERP, PIM or complex B2B workflows that must survive the move.
5. Absolute Web
Absolute Web is a Miami-based Shopify Plus agency with a long record in ecommerce development and platform migrations across North America. The team handles product data, customer records, order history and third-party connections inside one coordinated workflow, with strong design capability for brands that want a refresh alongside the replatform.
Best for: mid-market merchants who want one partner owning the full scope rather than splitting data, integrations and design across vendors.
6. We Make Websites
We Make Websites is a London-based Shopify Plus agency with deep D2C replatforming credentials across the UK and Europe, migrating from Magento, WooCommerce and custom platforms. Delivery typically pairs the technical migration with design and UX work, so brands arrive on Shopify with a refreshed storefront rather than a bare data transfer.
Best for: growing UK and EU D2C brands scaling on Shopify Plus.
7. Velstar
Velstar is a UK Shopify Plus agency with a phased, milestone-driven migration process covering data transfer, theme development, integrations and redirect mapping, and it stays involved through post-launch stabilisation rather than handing off at go-live.
Best for: UK brands that want a structured delivery partner without the overhead of a global agency.
8. Swanky
Swanky is a UK Shopify Plus agency with experience on the heaviest replatforms: Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Salesforce Commerce Cloud. The process is built around strategic discovery, scoping the full project before work begins, followed by clean data handling and SEO continuity through the transition, with UX and CRO available afterwards.
Best for: large, complex replatforming projects, especially off Salesforce Commerce Cloud.
9. Charle
Charle is a London Shopify Plus agency known for design-led replatforming. Technical capability covers data transfer, integrations and redirects, but the differentiator is the quality of the storefront that comes with it.
Best for: D2C and lifestyle brands migrating from WooCommerce or custom platforms who want the move and a full visual refresh in one project.
10. Atwix
Atwix is a long-established agency with Magento roots that has built out its Shopify migration practice around pre-migration auditing: mapping every feature, module and data structure before work begins. That matters most on heavily customised legacy stores, where untested assumptions surface as mid-project rework.
Best for: merchants leaving a heavily customised Magento store who need the feature gap mapped before they commit.
Honourable mention: Novatize, a Canadian agency with well-organised project management, is a dependable technical partner for mid-sized brands and French-speaking markets.
How to choose a Shopify migration agency: 7 questions
- Can I see the migration plan before I sign? A real specialist gives you a week-by-week plan and a fixed price after a short analysis. If the answer is “we bill hourly and see how it goes”, the risk is yours.
- How do you validate the data? The right answer includes record counts and spot checks on products, variants, orders, customers and reviews before cutover, on a staging store you can log into.
- What happens to my URLs? Every old URL should map to a Shopify URL with a 301, including category, filter and blog URLs, plus canonical tags and metadata. Ask to see the redirect map from a past project.
- Which of my integrations will you rebuild, and which will you replace with an app? ERP, payment gateways, subscriptions and B2B pricing are the four that most often get “simplified” away.
- Does the old store keep selling during the migration? It should. Cutover is a DNS change in a low-traffic window, not a weekend of downtime.
- Who supports the store in the first 30 days? The same people who built it, with SEO and analytics monitored daily.
- What does a comparable migration cost you? Ask for a real example. Anyone who has done this knows the numbers.

FAQs
Which Shopify migration agency is best for a WooCommerce store?
For WooCommerce specifically, the shortlist is Presta, Elogic and Solo Media Group, because all three have documented WooCommerce work including variable products, WordPress content and plugin-to-app mapping. Our separate WooCommerce to Shopify migration agencies comparison goes deeper on that source platform.
How long does a Shopify migration take?
A standard WooCommerce or Ecwid migration runs on a 4-week sprint at Presta. Magento and custom platforms typically take 4 to 8 weeks depending on catalog complexity and integrations. Enterprise Shopify Plus replatforms with custom apps run 3 to 6 months.
Will I lose SEO rankings when I migrate to Shopify?
Not if the agency maps every URL to a 301 redirect, transfers titles, descriptions and structured data, and monitors rankings after launch. Expect one to two weeks of fluctuation while Google reindexes, then steady or improved rankings from faster load times.
Does my store go offline during the migration?
No. The old store keeps selling while the new one is built and tested on staging. Cutover is a DNS switch in a low-traffic window that takes minutes.
Do I need Shopify Plus to migrate?
Only if you need Plus features: checkout extensibility, B2B at scale, multiple expansion stores, or more than about 1M in monthly revenue where the lower transaction fees pay for the plan. Most stores under that size migrate to standard Shopify and upgrade later.
