How Much Does a Shopify Plus Migration Cost in 2026? Prices and Timelines by Platform, With Sources

We opened 12 published guides that put a price on a Shopify Plus migration. The lowest starting figure was $5,000. The highest top figure was $600,000 or more. Both are fair numbers for different jobs. One is a small store moved onto a bought theme. The other is an Adobe Commerce business rebuilt with a fully custom storefront.

This guide puts those ranges side by side for four platforms: Magento and Adobe Commerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, BigCommerce and WooCommerce. It also gives what Shopify charges for Plus, how long each move takes and what pushes a quote up or down. The step-by-step work for each move is on our replatforming pages, and each section below links to the right one.

Five terms come up throughout. Replatforming means moving a store and the systems behind it from one commerce platform to another. A SKU is one sellable item in your catalog. An ERP is the back-office system that holds stock, orders and accounts. B2B means selling to other businesses, usually at prices set for each account. Mid-market means a mid-sized store, which the Elogic index defines for WooCommerce as $1 million to $10 million in yearly revenue.

We are FactoryJet. We design, build, implement and support ecommerce stores and AI agents for US businesses, and we are a registered Shopify Partner. FactoryJet was founded in 2014 by Bhavesh Barot and has served more than 500 businesses. We are one of the firms you might ask for a quote.

Shopify Plus migration cost at a glance (2026)

The table below is the one to screenshot. Each row is a published range for the migration project, and the last row is the plan price from Shopify. Where two sources price the same move, both are shown.

Two readings. The platform you leave sets the starting point. On the Elogic figures, an enterprise Salesforce Commerce Cloud move starts at five times the top of a mid-market WooCommerce one ($200,000 against $40,000). And the sources agree far better on the simpler moves. They sit within $10,000 of each other on BigCommerce and more than $100,000 apart on Salesforce Commerce Cloud.

Three different jobs are sold as a Shopify Plus migration

Shopify draws the first line itself. In its guide to choosing a migration service, it says a data migration and a full replatform are different things. The first moves products, customers, orders and content. The second adds the storefront build, the integrations and often a redesign. A third job, the plan upgrade, moves nothing at all.

The free Store Migration app that Shopify publishes sits in the second row. Its listing names WooCommerce, Square, Etsy, Wix, Amazon, eBay, Clover and Lightspeed as sources. Magento, BigCommerce and Salesforce Commerce Cloud are not on that list, so those moves need a paid tool, a Shopify Partner or custom work with the Shopify API, the other routes in the Shopify Help Center.

Shopify also says, in an article updated 23 September 2026, that an upgrade gives you access to Plus features and does not configure them. That is why the first row has a price at all. The rest of this guide is about the third row.

Shopify Plus migration cost by the platform you are leaving

Three of the guides price a move to Plus by source platform. They are shown as their authors print them. Flux writes for brands with $5 million to $100 million in sales, so read its column as the larger-store view.

Read across a row before you read down a column. On BigCommerce, Elogic and ShopExperts sit within $10,000 of each other at the bottom and agree at the top. On Salesforce Commerce Cloud, the ShopExperts range ends where the Elogic range begins, at $200,000. The Flux floor for WooCommerce, $80,000, is twice the Elogic ceiling of $40,000, because the two describe stores of different size.

Magento and Adobe Commerce to Shopify Plus

This move has the widest published spread of the four. On the Elogic index alone it runs from $25,000 for a simple store to $600,000 or more for a full custom headless rebuild, a 24-fold gap inside one source. (Headless means the storefront is built as a separate application that talks to Shopify behind the scenes.) Soda Web Media says a professional Magento move starts around $25,000 and can pass $100,000 once custom ERP work is involved.

Timing often comes with a deadline. The Adobe lifecycle page, updated 18 September 2026, shows that standard support for Adobe Commerce 2.4.6 ended on 11 August 2026 and ends for 2.4.7 on 31 May 2027. Our Magento to Shopify Plus migration page compares more published cost guides, lists the cost drivers one by one and covers the product, B2B and redirect limits, so that detail is not repeated here. A step-by-step version is in our Magento to Shopify Plus migration checklist.

Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Shopify Plus

The three sources that price this move put it at or near the top of their tables. Elogic gives $200,000 to $500,000 or more over 20 to 28 weeks for an enterprise store with SAP or Oracle and a custom checkout. Flux gives $180,000 to $500,000. ShopExperts gives $80,000 to $200,000 or more, the highest starting figure on its list. LitExtension gives it the highest complexity rating in its platform table, a step above its rating for Magento.

The reason sits behind the storefront. Tripster Developers says the storefront is usually the easy part, and the work is untangling the order, product-data and pricing systems that lived inside the old platform. One case published by Shopify shows the fast end. Agency SLTWTR moved five brands and 12 stores off Salesforce Commerce Cloud in 12 weeks, a schedule the agency itself described as aggressive. Our Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Shopify Plus page covers how that move is planned.

BigCommerce to Shopify Plus

The sources agree most closely here. Elogic gives $30,000 to $60,000 over 12 to 18 weeks for a mid-market store with B2B and an ERP, and ShopExperts gives $20,000 to $60,000 for BigCommerce Enterprise. ShopExperts calls BigCommerce the cleanest platform to leave, because the data is structured, the URL patterns are simpler than Magento and fewer apps need rebuilding. Tripster Developers adds that product data maps well, while custom fields, option sets and price lists need planning. Our BigCommerce to Shopify Plus page has the process.

WooCommerce to Shopify Plus

Elogic gives $15,000 to $40,000 over 6 to 12 weeks for a store with $1 million to $10 million in yearly revenue. Soda Web Media gives $5,000 to $30,000 for WooCommerce to any Shopify plan. The work is in the plugins. ShopExperts says a typical WooCommerce store runs 30 to 50 of them, and each one has to be matched to a Shopify feature or app. Tripster Developers points to the redirect map, because WordPress addresses rarely match the fixed product and collection paths Shopify uses.

One sum is worth doing before you ask for quotes. A year of the Plus plan is $27,600 on a three-year term, which is more than the $15,000 low end of the project. On a small WooCommerce move the plan is the bigger line in year one, so confirm you need a Plus feature first. Our WooCommerce to Shopify page covers the move itself.

What Shopify charges for Plus, from Shopify's own pages

The plan price is the one number in this guide that comes from the seller of the product. Shopify prints it in US dollars in its Help Center and repeats it in its upgrade guide, updated 23 September 2026. Prices can change, and Shopify points readers to its Plus pricing page for the latest figures.

Twelve months at those prices is $27,600 on the three-year term and $30,000 on the one-year term. A full three-year term comes to $82,800. The Help Center adds that custom development by Shopify Plus Partners, one-time theme purchases and third-party apps cost extra.

The variable fee is where published guides part ways with Shopify. Shopify says only that larger or more complex businesses may pay a fee based on revenue and business model, and that it differs for B2B and direct-to-consumer sales. ShopExperts prints a rate of 0.4 percent of revenue. Flux prints 0.35 percent on direct-to-consumer sales and 0.18 percent on B2B sales. Both give a cap of about $40,000 a month, and so does Elogic. We found no rate and no cap on any Shopify page we read on 11 October 2026, so none of those figures is in our tables. The upgrade guide tells buyers to send the Shopify sales team their revenue, payment setup and sales model, and says the quote sets the plan fee and payment rates.

Shopify prints no price range for a migration project in any of the three Shopify migration guides we read. It does make one comparative claim, in its replatforming guide of March 2026. In a study it ran with a consulting firm it does not name, brands moving to Shopify budgeted implementation costs 23 percent lower on average than on competing platforms. Treat that as the figure a vendor gives about itself.

A first-year budget: project plus plan

Add the two published numbers and you get a floor for year one. This is arithmetic on public figures. We added the Elogic project range to 12 months of the Plus plan at $27,600 to $30,000. It is not a quote.

The plan is 43 to 65 percent of the first-year total on the WooCommerce row and 6 to 12 percent on the Salesforce Commerce Cloud row. So on a small move the plan decision matters most, and on a large one the project scope does.

What this table leaves out: apps, card fees, any variable platform fee and your own team's time. None of those has a published figure that fits every store. For the plan in more depth, see our guide to the true cost of Shopify Plus.

How long does a Shopify Plus migration take?

Three to four months from kickoff to go-live is the average Shopify gives for Plus migrations in its migration service guide of May 2026. The same guide says a full replatform usually takes three to six months, and that moving the data is a matter of weeks inside that. The Shopify replatforming guide gives 8 to 12 weeks for smaller stores and six months or more for complex ones.

Elogic prints two sets of times. Its cost table gives one range per move, which is what the summary table at the top of this page uses, and its timeline table splits each move into fast, typical and complex. The ShopExperts figures for WooCommerce and BigCommerce are for a move to any Shopify plan. It says a Plus destination adds one to two weeks, B2B catalogs add three to six, and each expansion store adds two to four. For Magento, ECommerce Partners (page updated 8 October 2026) gives 12 to 20 weeks for a standard store under 10,000 SKUs, 20 to 30 weeks with B2B and an ERP, and 30 to 36 weeks at enterprise scale.

Real projects on Shopify's own pages show how far the range stretches. Anker moved 16 sites to Plus in three months. TASCHEN launched a headless build with a product-data system in five months. Staples finished an enterprise replatform in under 12 months.

The weeks a project plan leaves out

Published timelines count from kickoff to launch. ShopExperts says to add two to six weeks at the front for choosing a partner and signing a contract, and four weeks at the back for monitoring after launch. On its numbers a six-week migration is a 10 to 12 week commitment end to end. Tripster Developers adds a calendar rule, which is to launch at least six weeks before your busiest selling period.

Shopify names the biggest risk to a schedule, and it comes before any data moves. Discovery and data cleanup put a launch date at risk more than the transfer does. Its advice is to start the data audit early and fix quality problems before the first import runs.

What moves a Shopify Plus migration price up or down

Five things, in the order the guides weight them. A dollar or week figure appears only where a source prints one.

1. Integrations. Every system that reads from or writes to your store has to be reconnected and tested: ERP, warehouse, product data, email and tax. Flux says the number of integrations moves cost more than catalog size, and Tripster Developers makes the same point. Presta and Flux both put one ERP connection (SAP, NetSuite or Microsoft Dynamics) at $20,000 to $80,000 to build. LitExtension notes that five standard apps can be less work than one custom ERP link.
2. Custom features. Code written for your old platform does not move. Shopify says custom logic has to be recreated with Shopify apps, custom apps or Shopify Functions, which are small pieces of code that change how discounts, shipping or payments behave. LitExtension calls this one of the biggest cost factors. ShopExperts puts each custom Function at two to eight weeks.
3. B2B. Shopify includes B2B tools on every plan, with a ceiling. The B2B plan table allows three active catalogs below Plus and an unlimited number on Plus, and keeps direct company catalogs, deposits and partial payments for Plus. ShopExperts says setting up B2B catalogs adds three to six weeks to a standard migration. Our Shopify Plus B2B page covers what the build involves.
4. Catalog size and shape. Shopify flags a catalog above 10,000 SKUs, or one with complex variants, as a sign of a complex migration. Shape matters more than count. Shopify allows 2,048 variants and three options per product, so a product with four or more options needs restructuring or an app. Presta says 10,000 clean products are easier to move than 500 messy ones.
5. Data cleanup. Duplicate customers, empty attributes and old content all have to be fixed before the import. ShopExperts says messy source data adds one to three weeks. Elogic puts cleanup at two to four extra weeks and $10,000 to $30,000. Presta advises fixing data at the source and running the migration twice, once as a rehearsal.

Shopify turns the same ideas into a test. Its guide lists ten signs of a complex migration. Among them are a catalog over 10,000 SKUs, more than one storefront, live ERP connections, more than 100,000 past orders that must stay readable, and search traffic that depends on a redirect map. If three or more apply, Shopify says a dedicated migration service will probably lower both the risk and the total project cost.

How to get migration quotes you can compare

Seven steps, each taken from a page we read. Do them before the first sales call.

1. Name the job. Upgrade, data move or full replatform. Quotes for different jobs cannot be compared.
2. List every connected system. Write down each tool that reads from or writes to the store, and who owns it. Flux gives the example of a list of 8 integrations that becomes 14 once someone looks.
3. Count your data. SKUs, options per product, customers, past orders and indexed URLs. LitExtension recommends documenting these, plus any custom logic, before you ask for prices.
4. Buy discovery as its own step. Flux prices a discovery audit at $5,000 to $25,000 over one to three weeks, and Elogic at $15,000 to $50,000 over the first four weeks. Flux calls a fee that is credited against the build a fair model. The audit should end with a written scope and a build price.
5. Ask for the price in parts. Data, storefront, integrations, redirects and launch as separate lines, as LitExtension suggests. You can then see which line a lower quote left out.
6. Get the Plus quote from Shopify separately. Shopify sets the plan fee and payment rates from your revenue, payment setup and sales model. Confirm the term and the billing currency.
7. Ask what is excluded. Presta lists the usual gaps: order history, blog content and custom fields on small projects, and custom apps and ERP connections on mid-market ones.

Fixed bid, time and materials, or phased

Shopify describes three ways a migration is priced. The last column adds what Presta and ShopExperts say.

What we found reading 12 cost guides in one day

We read all 12 on 11 October 2026 and compared them line by line. That day Google showed an AI summary on all 11 searches we ran on this topic, and six of the 12 guides were among the sources it cited. So what these pages say is what many buyers are told. Six things stood out.

• The spread is 120 to 1. The lowest starting figure for a Shopify Plus migration was $5,000 (Xpertshire and ForgeCRO). The highest top figure was $600,000 or more (Elogic).
• The same bands repeat. Three guides print $50 to $500 for a migration tool. Three print $15,000 to $75,000 for a mid-size project: Soda Web Media, Aqsa Shahzad and ForgeCRO. Two print $30,000 to $150,000 or more for a Plus migration. Matching numbers on separate sites are weaker evidence than they look, because a reader cannot tell who measured and who repeated.
• Two guides say what their ranges rest on. Elogic cites more than 500 of its own projects and names 12 agency benchmarks. Solo Media Group cites more than 75 replatforms. The other ten give ranges without saying how many projects sit behind them.
• Three firms post their own prices. Tripster Developers lists Plus replatforming from Magento, Salesforce or a custom platform from $15,000. Solo Media Group lists full replatforms from $20,000. Presta lists enterprise Shopify Plus work from 25,000 euros. A posted price is stronger evidence than a market range, because it is the number that firm will quote from.
• Three guides carry an old platform limit. They give 100 variants per product. The Shopify Help Center says 2,048. Ask which limit an estimate was built on, because the old one can add catalog restructuring you no longer need.
• Shopify prices the plan and leaves the project to partners. On the pages we read it prints the plan fee, the card rates and timeline averages. It prints no project price range.

How FactoryJet prices a Shopify Plus migration

We do not publish a price list, and nothing above is a FactoryJet price. FactoryJet quotes a fixed price in writing after a short scoping call. We can also show working software on your own data before a contract, so you can judge the work before you judge the proposal.

FactoryJet quotes the migration and the ongoing support as separate fixed prices, both in writing. After launch we keep managing the integrations, APIs and maintenance so your team does not have to. We design, build, implement and support the store, and you own what we build for you.

We are a registered Shopify Partner. We work remotely with US clients and schedule calls in US business hours.
