WHY NOW
Magento’s clock is ticking. Your history doesn’t have to be the cost.
Magento 1 is long out of support and Magento 2 upgrades keep getting more expensive. Agencies quote six-figure rebuilds. Import apps copy your product list and quietly leave a decade of orders, attributes and voucher balances behind. There is a third option: a proper engineering migration, done by one specialist, for a fixed price.
I’m Craig Mankelow, a UK software engineer, and I’ve worked with Magento’s data model - EAV attributes, sales tables, rule-based coupons - since 2003. Most recently: 1,475,333 orders, 611,000 customers and ten years of VAT history moved off Magento for a national UK retailer, where off-the-shelf tools failed - reconciled to the penny. I know exactly where Magento’s bodies are buried, and exactly where each one belongs in Shopify.

QUESTIONS MERCHANTS ACTUALLY ASK
The honest answers, before you spend a penny.
What if my data’s a mess?
Messy data is normal after a decade of trading - it’s why the Readiness Report exists. The audit finds the anomalies (orphaned orders, conflicting attributes, half-deleted products) and prices the clean-up into your fixed quote, so mess never turns into a mid-project invoice.
Can my current agency do the design while you do the data?
Yes - it’s the arrangement I recommend. Your agency builds the theme and the brand experience; I handle the data, redirects and reconciliation. We share a staging store and a launch runbook, and neither of us blocks the other.
What happens to my SEO?
Every URL your store has ever ranked with gets a 301 redirect to its Shopify destination - the full map is a document you keep. Rankings survive migrations that are planned; they die in migrations that aren’t.
Do I have to stop trading?
No. The build happens against a staging store while you trade normally. At cutover I run a delta import to catch the orders placed in between - the switch itself is measured in minutes, not days.
What if I’m on Magento 1?
All the more reason to move - Magento 1 has been out of support since June 2020, which means no security patches. Under the hood the EAV data model is the same; I migrate M1 and M2 stores alike.
Why not just use Matrixify?
Matrixify is a good import tool, and for a simple catalogue copy it may be all you need. But it moves what fits Shopify’s standard fields: custom attributes flatten, historic taxes drop, voucher balances stay behind, and nobody reconciles the result against your accounts. The app is the easy 20% - you’d be doing the engineering yourself.
