PLATFORMS WE MIGRATE FROM

We re-platform to Shopify & Shopify Plus from every major ecommerce stack.

Most of our migration clients come to Shopify from Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or a custom legacy system — frustrated with uptime, security, technical debt, or scaling limits. We handle the full re-platform and protect every inch of SEO equity on the way over.

01

Magento → Shopify

Leave the technical overhead, infrastructure costs, and security patching of Magento behind. We migrate Magento 1 and Magento 2 stores to Shopify or Shopify Plus while preserving your full catalog, customer data, order history, and organic rankings.

02

WooCommerce → Shopify

Move off WooCommerce to a purpose-built ecommerce platform. We re-platform from WordPress + WooCommerce to Shopify for brands that need better uptime, faster checkout, and a scalable stack without managing plugin conflicts.

03

BigCommerce → Shopify

Switch from BigCommerce to Shopify for a broader app ecosystem, better theme customization, and a simpler merchant experience. We match or improve feature parity during the move.

04

Squarespace / Wix / Custom

Grow beyond Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, or bespoke ecommerce builds. We rebuild your catalog and theme on Shopify and hand you a platform ready for scale, subscriptions, B2B, and international expansion.

OUR SHOPIFY MIGRATION PROCESS

Every layer of a Shopify store build. Covered.

As an experienced Toronto Shopify agency, we handle every step from account setup to go-live. Whether you’re launching your first store or re-platforming a multi-million dollar catalog, the process is the same: careful planning, clean data, zero rankings lost.

Discovery & Scoping

We audit your existing store (or business) to understand catalog complexity, integrations, customer data, and custom functionality. You get a detailed project scope, timeline, and fixed quote before a single line of code is written.

Theme Selection & Customization

We recommend the right Shopify or Online Store 2.0 theme for your brand — Dawn, Impulse, Turbo, Prestige, Icon, or fully bespoke — and customize it to match your visual identity, navigation, and merchandising strategy.

Catalog & Data Migration

Products, variants, collections, customer accounts, order history, blog posts, reviews, and metafields. We migrate it all with clean data and zero loss, using a combination of CSV, API, and custom scripts.

SEO & 301 Redirects

Every old URL gets a 301 redirect to its Shopify equivalent. We preserve page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, and internal linking so Google seamlessly transfers rankings to the new store.

Apps, Payments & Shipping

Essential apps only — Klaviyo, Judge.me, Recharge, Gorgias, Shipstation — installed cleanly without performance bloat. Payment gateways, shipping zones, tax rules, and checkout fully configured and tested.

Launch QA & Go-Live

Before we switch DNS, we test every purchase path on desktop and mobile across payment gateways. On launch day we’re on call to catch any issues. After go-live, we monitor tracking, rankings, and conversion rates for 30 days.

SHOPIFY PLUS

Full Shopify Plus capability for growing brands.

Bryka works with Shopify Plus merchants who need the advanced functionality only Plus provides. We configure and customize Plus-only features so your store isn’t just “on Plus” — it’s actively using the capability you’re paying for.

Most Plus stores we touch have Launchpad, Flow, and Functions sitting untouched. We turn them on and tie them to real business events — BFCM launches, wholesale pricing, automated segmentation, custom shipping logic, and B2B channels.

  • Checkout Extensibility for custom fields, upsells, and trust signals
  • Shopify Functions for discounts, delivery customization, and payment methods
  • Shopify Flow automations for order routing and customer segmentation
  • Launchpad for scheduled campaign and flash sale launches
  • B2B wholesale channels, multi-currency, and multi-store management

PLATFORMS WE WORK WITH

  • ShopifyStandard stores up to 10,000 SKUs
  • Shopify PlusEnterprise checkout, B2B, and custom functions
  • Hydrogen + OxygenHeadless React storefronts at 90+ Lighthouse
  • Shopify B2BWholesale channels, net terms, company accounts
  • Shopify MarketsMulti-currency, geo-targeted pricing, translations

Good fit for a Shopify migration

  • Stores on Magento, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce with technical debt
  • Brands outgrowing Squarespace, Wix, or Shopify starter tier
  • Merchants paying more in platform fees than Shopify Plus would cost
  • Teams tired of plugin conflicts, security patches, or uptime issues
  • Stores ready for B2B, international, subscriptions, or headless commerce

Not the right time

  • Pre-revenue concepts without a tested product line yet
  • Stores mid-rebrand with no finalized catalog or identity
  • Teams unwilling to freeze content during the migration window

IS A MIGRATION RIGHT FOR YOU?

Is a Shopify migration the right move?

Migrations pay off when your current platform is blocking growth — slow checkout, security patches, developer costs, or feature ceilings. They rarely pay off mid-rebrand, pre-revenue, or when the real issue is merchandising rather than tech.

In a 30-minute discovery call we’ll tell you honestly whether a migration makes sense for your business right now, what it would cost, and what it would unlock. No sales pitch — just a real answer from a 25-year web veteran.
