How Much Does a Shopify Migration Cost in 2026?

Updated October 2026

The cost of moving your store to Shopify can range from almost nothing to tens of thousands of dollars. The difference comes down to how big your store is, how much data you need to move, and how much of the work you want to do yourself.

Here’s what a Shopify migration really costs in 2026, and how to pick the right option for your store.

Shopify migration costs at a glance

Prices are typical ranges from published US pricing in 2026 and vary by store.

1. Free and DIY migration tools

Shopify’s Store Migration app is free and supports platforms including WooCommerce, Wix, Square, Etsy, Amazon and eBay. It’s a good start for simple stores, but it doesn’t move everything. Collections, menus, blog posts, reviews and SEO settings usually need to be rebuilt.

Paid migration apps move more data. For example, Matrixify plans start at about $20 per month, and other tools charge from about $59 per migration depending on how many records you move. You still need to check the results, fix variants and set up redirects yourself.

2. Hiring a Shopify migration expert

Specialists and small agencies typically charge $500 to $1,500 for most small and mid-size stores. This usually includes moving products, customers and orders, setting up the store, and creating 301 redirects. It’s the best value for most growing businesses because you avoid the mistakes that cost sales and rankings.

3. Full-service agencies

Large agencies often charge $5,000 to $30,000 or more, especially when the project includes custom design, complex integrations, ERP connections or very large catalogs.

Hidden costs to plan for

• Your Shopify plan: a monthly subscription, billed by Shopify
• A premium theme if you don’t use a free one
• Apps to replace WordPress plugins or Wix features, such as reviews, subscriptions or filters
• Design changes if you want more than a standard theme setup
• Lost sales or rankings if redirects and testing are skipped; this is often the biggest hidden cost of a rushed DIY migration

What affects the price of a Shopify migration?

• Number of products and variants
• Whether you need order history and customer data
• Blog posts and pages to move
• Your current platform (Magento and custom stores take longer)
• Custom design and app replacements
• How many URLs need redirects

How to choose

• Fewer than 50 products, no blog, little Google traffic: try the free app yourself
• Hundreds of products, order history or good rankings: hire a migration specialist
• Thousands of products, custom systems or enterprise needs: work with a full-service agency
