The Shopify Plus migration agency that protects your SEO and sales
We migrate your store from WooCommerce, Magento or legacy platforms to Shopify Plus: catalogue, customers, orders, SEO and integrations. Zero-downtime go-live, with a headless Next.js storefront when your brand needs one.
A Shopify Plus migration moves an entire e-commerce operation — product catalogue, customers, order history, SEO and integrations — from platforms like WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop or a custom build to Shopify Plus, without interrupting sales or losing search rankings. A well-planned migration follows five phases: technical audit, migration plan, data migration, thorough QA and a zero-downtime go-live, backed by a complete URL-to-URL 301 redirect map that preserves accumulated SEO authority. Depending on catalogue complexity and ERP/CRM integrations, a project typically takes 6 to 12 weeks. Soamee is a Shopify Plus migration agency that also builds headless storefronts with Next.js and the Storefront API when a brand needs a fully custom frontend on top of Shopify's checkout and back office.
When should you migrate to Shopify Plus?
Migrating makes sense when your current platform is holding growth back: expensive maintenance, poor performance during campaigns, a checkout that underconverts, or a team spending more time firefighting than selling. These are the situations we see most often.
Outgrowing WooCommerce
The WordPress + plugins stack becomes fragile with large catalogues and traffic spikes. Every update is a risk and your hosting buckles during peaks like Black Friday.
Magento has become unsustainable
Magento 1 without support, or a Magento 2 with ever-growing development and infrastructure costs. Every change takes weeks and requires specialists who are hard to hire.
Legacy or custom-built platform
A homegrown e-commerce nobody wants to touch: undocumented, full of outdated dependencies, with a time-to-market that suffocates your marketing and product teams.
Standard Shopify is no longer enough
You need a customised checkout, native B2B, Shopify Flow automations, multi-store international expansion or higher API limits: it is time for Shopify Plus.
A complete migration, not just the catalogue
What gets migrated in a Shopify Plus migration? Everything that keeps your online business running: data, SEO and integrations. Nothing gets left behind and nothing breaks along the way.
Product catalogue
Products, variants, metafields, images, collections, multi-location inventory and pricing rules. We normalise and clean the data during the migration, not after it.
Customers and accounts
Customer base with addresses, tags, segments and GDPR consents. Subscription and gift card balance migration whenever the source platform allows it.
Order history
Historical orders with statuses, returns and transactions so customer support and analytics keep their full context. Your history is available from day one.
SEO and 301 redirects
A complete URL-to-URL 301 redirect map, metadata, structured data and sitemap. We preserve each page’s accumulated authority so Google never penalises the move.
ERP and CRM integrations
We reconnect your ERP (SAP, Odoo, Holded, A3ERP), CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce), email marketing and logistics through Shopify’s APIs. Stock, prices and orders stay in sync.
Automations and apps
We rebuild your workflows with Shopify Flow and Functions, replacing plugins with native apps or custom development. Fewer fragile moving parts, more maintainability.

Free consultation →Headless with Next.js + Shopify
What is a headless Shopify migration? It means using Shopify Plus as the commerce engine (checkout, payments, inventory, back office) while building a fully custom frontend with Next.js on the Storefront API. The result: a blazing-fast site, total design freedom and Core Web Vitals a standard theme cannot reach. As a software development agency, we do not just move data — we build the storefront your brand deserves.
Extreme performance
Edge rendering, optimised images and instant navigation. Better Core Web Vitals mean better SEO and higher conversion in every campaign you run.
Total design freedom
No Liquid theme constraints: brand storytelling, interactive product pages, campaign landing pages and experiences no competitor can copy with a template.
Composable architecture
Headless CMS, search, reviews or personalisation connect as independent pieces. Swap one piece without touching the rest — and without replatforming again.
A phased migration, no surprises
Every phase has clear deliverables and exit criteria. Your current store keeps selling as usual right up to the moment of go-live.
Technical and data audit
We inventory catalogue, customers, orders, traffic-bearing URLs, integrations and automations. We surface technical debt, dirty data and everything that could break in the migration.
Migration plan
Target architecture (theme, Hydrogen or headless with Next.js), a 301 redirect map, an ERP/CRM integration plan and a milestone calendar. You know what happens every week.
Migration and development
We migrate data with idempotent scripts and automated validation while building the new storefront and reconnecting integrations in a staging environment.
Thorough QA
Record counts and data sampling, checkout and payment tests, load testing, redirect verification and functional sign-off with your team before launch.
Zero-downtime go-live
Delta sync of the latest orders and customers, a coordinated DNS switch and 24-48h post-launch monitoring. Your store never stops selling — not even for a minute.
The three risks of every migration (and how we neutralise them)
A poorly executed migration can cost months of organic traffic and sales. Our methodology attacks the three classic risks from day one.
SEO loss
An audit of traffic-bearing URLs and backlinks before anything is touched, URL-to-URL 301 redirects, migrated metadata and structured data, and Search Console monitoring after go-live.
Downtime and lost sales
We build the new store in parallel while the current one keeps selling. Cutover is a delta sync plus a DNS switch: minutes of transition, zero store closures.
Data loss or corruption
Full backups before migrating, scripts with automated count and checksum validation, a reversible phased migration and manual sample verification with your team.
