Cost + timeline for migration to Magento from Shopify (fashion specific)?
Pricing is a fixed written quote for your scope. Send the details on WhatsApp and I reply within one working day.
Realistic ranges for a fashion brand at $2M, $10M GMV:
- Magento + Hyvä rebuild: Fashion-specific scope adds: configurator setup, drop-release flow, returns automation integration, AR partner integration, B2B layer if needed, PIM/channel-manager integration if needed.
- Timeline: 8-14 weeks for a typical mid-market fashion store. Faster (6 weeks) if SKU count is small and design is preserved; longer (16-24 weeks) for B2B + multi-region in scope.
- Hosting: $400, $1,500/mo on Cloudways / dedicated. Fashion needs over-provisioned for drop traffic spikes, assume 5-10x base traffic during a drop. CDN (Cloudflare / Akamai) mandatory.
- Ongoing: retainer for through-season ops (drops, post-launch returns iteration, AR rollouts).
Risks specific to fashion migration:
- Variant-product mapping is fiddly, Shopify treats “Size: M, Color: Blue” as one option pair; Magento separates size and color into independent attributes. Migration script needs to flatten + reshape.
- Return history and store-credit balances must migrate cleanly, otherwise customers lose visible credit and complain.
- SEO: redirects must cover product URLs (Shopify
/products/<handle>→ Magento/<url-key>.html) AND category URLs AND variant deep-links. Miss any of these and you drop 20-40% of organic for ~6 weeks.
Run both stores parallel for 30 days behind a feature flag, only flip DNS once redirects map ≥98% of traffic + 30 successful test orders + 1 dry-run drop. Fashion migrations done well don’t lose ranking; done badly they take a season to recover.
