Configurable, bundle and grouped products
Configurables become variants; bundles and grouped products become bundles through Shopify’s bundles feature or an app, chosen per case.
Migration · Magento → Shopify Plus Magento to Shopify Plus,
Magento to Shopify Plus,
with the complexity mapped, not dropped.
Magento stores tend to be large and heavily customised: configurable products, customer-group pricing, several store views and extensions nobody has upgraded in years. Shopify Plus covers most of that natively, and the migration plan decides where each piece lands.

Quick answer
Can a Magento store move to Shopify Plus?
Yes. Configurable and simple products become Shopify products and variants, EAV attributes become metafields, store views become Shopify Markets or expansion stores, and customer-group and tier pricing move to B2B price lists on Plus. Extensions are replaced with apps or custom code, and every .html URL is redirected.

Mapping Magento’s model to Shopify’s
Attribute sets
Magento’s attribute sets become metafield definitions with the same filtering behaviour on collection pages.
Multi-store and store views
Language and currency views map to Shopify Markets; genuinely separate brands or regions become expansion stores on Plus.
Tier and group pricing
Customer groups and tier prices move to B2B company accounts, catalogues and quantity rules on Shopify Plus.
Why merchants leave Magento
Upgrade cost
Each major Magento release means extension compatibility work and security patching on your own servers.
Hosting and scaling
Peak sales like White Friday or Ramadan need infrastructure planning that Shopify absorbs as part of the plan.
Developer dependency
Small merchandising changes often need a Magento developer; Shopify’s theme editor hands that back to the team.
How your URLs will map
Each legacy pattern gets a 301 redirect to its Shopify equivalent, tested before the domain moves.
/<product-url-key>.html /products/<handle> /<category>/<sub>.html /collections/<handle> /<store-code>/… Market subfolder, e.g. /en-sa/… /catalog/product/view/id/<id> /products/<handle> Why ZaadBooks matters here
Magento stores often feed an ERP through a custom module. When ZaadBooks is the ledger, the Shopify connector replaces that module for orders, refunds, customers and products, and anything else goes through the ZaadBooks API.

Questions Magento (Adobe Commerce):
Magento (Adobe Commerce):
common questions.
Does Shopify Plus replace Magento B2B features?
Largely, yes. Shopify Plus has company accounts with multiple buyers, catalogues and price lists, quantity rules, and payment terms. Unusual quoting or approval workflows are built as a custom app.
Can you migrate Magento 1 stores?
Yes. Magento 1 has been out of support for years, so moving is urgent. Data is extracted from the database directly when the admin exports are unreliable.
How are Magento .html URLs redirected?
We export every product, category and CMS URL including the .html suffix and store-code prefixes, and map each to its Shopify path with a 301 redirect, testing the full list before and after launch.
Do we lose our Magento order history?
No. Historical orders import as archived Shopify orders linked to their customers, so reporting and customer service still see the full history.
