Common Magento Migration Pitfalls to Avoid

Migrating your eCommerce store from Magento to Shopify is a big step, but a really exciting one.

It’s a chance to modernise your store, streamline your operations, improve performance and set your brand up for long-term growth.

However, re-platforming is a complex process. Things can go wrong, data can be lost, SEO rankings can take a hit, features can be missed, or your internal team can feel so overwhelmed by the changes that your store never reaches its full potential.

This video highlights some of the most common pitfalls and how to avoid them including:
1) Data loss or corruption

2) SEO and URL issues

3) Poor site performance

4) Incomplete feature migration

5) Missed optimisation opportunities

Many businesses make the mistake of replicating old Magento structures in Shopify without considering the scope for much needed improvement.

By approaching migration strategically, you can improve both user experience and operational efficiency. The result is a modern, high-performing store that’s easier to maintain and poised for growth-a true upgrade, not just a relocation.

A successful migration doesn’t happen by chance. It’s the result of a planned, structured approach that considers the multiple steps and technical elements to deliver a stress-free migration on time and on budget.
