Magento to Shopify Migration — Catalog, Orders & Customer Data
ERPPlugs migrates Magento stores to Shopify — including configurable products with attribute sets, bundled items, order history with invoices and credit memos, customer groups, CMS content, and multi-store configurations. The migration engine handles Magento's complex attribute system by mapping attribute sets to Shopify metafields and tags. URL rewrites convert to 301 redirects automatically. Tiered pricing and customer group assignments transfer for stores on Shopify Plus. Most mid-size catalogs migrate in 4-12 hours.

What this connector does
Magento (Adobe Commerce) offers deep catalog customization through its entity-attribute-value architecture, configurable products, and multi-store capabilities. However, the platform's complexity drives high development costs, slow upgrade cycles, and infrastructure demands that many mid-market merchants find unsustainable. Shopify provides a managed alternative with lower operational overhead, faster feature deployment, and a growing enterprise tier through Shopify Plus. ERPPlugs handles the technical complexity of moving between these fundamentally different architectures.
The core challenge in Magento-to-Shopify migration is the attribute system. Magento stores product data across dozens of EAV tables — a structure that makes direct database export impractical. ERPPlugs resolves the EAV layer through Magento's REST and SOAP APIs, extracting flat product records with all attribute values, then mapping them to Shopify's product fields, variant options, and metafield definitions. Configurable products become Shopify variants with correct option sets. Bundled and grouped products convert to appropriate Shopify equivalents with component relationships documented. Category trees with nested hierarchies recreate as Shopify collections with automated or manual rules.
Order history transfers with complete invoice records, credit memos, shipment tracking, and customer notes. Multi-store Magento installations can migrate to separate Shopify stores or consolidate into one store using Shopify Markets for localized pricing, currencies, and content. CMS pages and blocks export with content and metadata for recreation in Shopify's page editor or a headless CMS. URL rewrites — including years of accumulated custom redirects — convert to Shopify 301 redirects to maintain search engine continuity across the platform switch.

What changes when you plug ERPPlugs in
See how automation transforms your Magento-Shopify workflow.
| Task | Manual Integration | ERPPlugs |
|---|---|---|
| Configurable product mapping | Configurable products losing attribute set relationships during manual CSV export and reimport | Configurable products automatically mapped to Shopify variants with attribute sets converted to metafields |
| Multi-store consolidation | Multi-store Magento setup requiring separate manual migrations with no cross-store deduplication | Multi-store migrations handled as a single project with shared catalog deduplication and store-specific data separation |
| EAV attribute resolution | EAV attribute data scattered across dozens of database tables making clean extraction nearly impossible | EAV attribute system fully resolved — flat product data extracted and mapped to Shopify fields and metafields |
| URL redirect mapping | URL rewrites accumulated over years failing to convert to Shopify redirect format correctly | Complete URL rewrite history converted to 301 redirects covering products, categories, and CMS pages |
| Customer group mapping | Customer tier pricing and group assignments lost because Shopify CSV does not support these fields | Customer groups mapped to Shopify tags or Plus-tier segments with tier pricing preserved where supported |

Frequently Asked Questions
ERPPlugs analyzes each configurable product's attribute sets and maps them to Shopify variant options. Simple product children become Shopify variants with their individual SKUs, pricing, and inventory. Attribute values like size and color convert to Shopify option names. Products with more than three configurable attributes use metafields for the additional dimensions.
Yes. ERPPlugs supports migrating multi-website and multi-store Magento installations. Each store view can migrate to a separate Shopify store, or multiple views can consolidate into one Shopify store using Shopify Markets for localized pricing and content. Shared catalog items are deduplicated during the merge process.
Magento-specific features like catalog price rules, custom ERP module data, and admin user permissions don't have direct Shopify equivalents. ERPPlugs exports these as structured CSV files so you can recreate equivalent functionality using Shopify apps. Customer passwords also cannot transfer — Shopify triggers password reset emails instead.
ERPPlugs extracts meta titles, descriptions, URL keys, and canonical tags from Magento and maps them to Shopify's SEO fields. Magento URL rewrites — including custom rewrites you've created — convert to Shopify 301 redirects. The migration generates a full redirect map covering products, categories, and CMS pages.
Timeline depends on catalog complexity and data volume. A store with 5,000 products and 20,000 orders typically migrates in 4-6 hours. Enterprise Magento installations with 100,000+ SKUs and complex attribute sets may take 12-24 hours. Your Magento store remains fully operational throughout — there is zero customer-facing downtime.
Contact us for migration pricing — plans scale with record volume including products, orders, and customers. Every plan includes a pre-migration audit that identifies potential mapping issues, unlimited test runs, delta sync for the cutover window, and a post-migration validation report. No hidden per-record fees.
