Magento to Shopify Migration for UK Businesses
Stuck on an ageing, expensive Magento store? We move your shop to Shopify – products, customers, order history and SEO – so you get a faster store that is far easier and cheaper to run. A local team in Ayr plans it, moves it and supports you afterwards.
Every migration individually quoted. No jargon. No obligation.
Why Businesses Are Leaving Magento
Magento 1 reached end of life in 2020 and no longer gets security updates. Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce needs specialist developers, regular patching and powerful hosting just to stay secure – costs that most small and mid-sized retailers simply do not need.
Shopify handles hosting, security, updates and payments for you. You keep your products, customers and Google rankings, and your team gets a store they can actually manage day to day. STORM 360 has been through this move with real clients, including Kylemark Workwear’s large multi-brand catalogue. More about our Shopify web design →

MIGRATION CASE STUDY
Kylemark Workwear – Magento to Shopify
The client: Kylemark Workwear has supplied embroidered workwear and staff uniforms since 1997, with in-house embroidery and printing, no minimum order and UK-wide delivery.
The problem: Their Magento store had become slow and costly to maintain, and a huge multi-brand range – workwear, PPE, chefswear, hospitality uniforms and footwear – needed to be easier to browse, order and quote for.
The migration:
- Products, collections and customers moved from Magento to Shopify
- Old Magento URLs redirected to protect Google rankings
- Catalogue reorganised into hundreds of collections by brand, garment and industry
- New features added on Shopify: bundle deals, subscribe & save, members’ and staff uniform portals, and a quote journey for embroidered uniforms
The result: a fast, mobile-friendly store that is far easier to run than Magento, with STORM 360 on hand for changes and support.

Magento to Shopify questions we get asked most
Not if the migration is done properly. We map every old Magento product, category and page URL to its new Shopify address and set up 301 redirects, and we carry across page titles and descriptions so search engines see a smooth move.
Products (with variants, images and attributes), categories, customers and order history, plus static pages and blog content. Customer passwords cannot be transferred for security reasons, so we set up a simple account re-activation email for returning customers.
No. Your Magento store stays live while we build and test the Shopify store. We switch over at a quiet time, usually with no downtime for customers.
Every Magento migration is quoted individually, based on the size of your catalogue, how much customer and order history you want to keep, and any custom features or integrations. You get a clear, fixed quote up front before any work starts – get in touch for yours.
Yes. Shopify comfortably handles thousands of products – Kylemark Workwear runs a large multi-brand catalogue organised into hundreds of collections. If Shopify is not the right fit for you, we will tell you.
