Shopify to Medusa
migration, without the ranking loss.
Catalogue, orders and customers onto Medusa.js — URLs and rankings preserved, no platform commission on your sales.
For stores whose Shopify fees, apps or checkout limits now cost more than they give: a real export, a mapped redirect table and a cut-over planned around your sales calendar.
What moves
Everything that earns money, carried across.
Done only when the store sells as well the day after cutover as the day before.
Catalogue & inventory

Shipping, ERP, WMS and marketing re-wired around Medusa, replacing app subscriptions.You own the stack
Source, data and runtime on your infrastructure — no commission, no app tax.How the migration runs
A phased cutover, with the store still selling.
The old store keeps taking orders until the new one is proven.

Shopify to Medusa migration — FAQs
Not if the migration is planned around them. Shopify forces URL prefixes like
/products/ and /collections/ that most stores keep, so the usual approach is to preserve the existing paths exactly and give Google nothing to re-learn. Where a URL genuinely has to change, it gets a 301 from a redirect table mapped before cutover — we crawl the live store during the assessment so every indexed URL is accounted for, not discovered afterwards in Search Console.Products, variants, inventory, customers and orders from 1 January 2019 onward export cleanly. Orders before that window need a separate API extraction or stay as a read-only archive. Password hashes never export, discount and gift-card codes come out partially, and analytics history does not export in any form. The matrix above is the full picture — and we run your actual export during the assessment, so the gaps are known facts before you commit. The reasoning is worked through in the migration guide.
Every customer is force-reset on cutover, because Shopify never releases password hashes. That is true of any Shopify exit, to any platform — it is not a Medusa limitation. So we plan it as a campaign rather than a task: a pre-announced reset email with a one-click link, timed away from your peak sales period, framed as a relaunch. Handled well it costs you almost nothing; handled as an afterthought it is the single biggest churn event in the whole migration.
Every store needs the same plumbing — payments, shipping, tax, transactional email, hosting — and the rest scales with catalogue complexity, integration count, B2B requirements and content volume. The estimator above gives you a range from your own answers; we put a scoped timeline in writing after the assessment.
The price is set by scope: a straightforward catalogue costs least, and it rises with integrations, B2B pricing rules and custom checkout logic. The payback maths is simple: Shopify’s platform fee, transaction fee and app subscriptions are a share of revenue that keeps growing, while a migration is a fixed cost that ends. Below a certain sales volume staying on Shopify is the cheaper answer, and we will show you where that line sits for your store. Price your own stack in the planner or read the full Shopify cost breakdown.
Not out of the box — and neither does Shopify. The difference is permission, not features. Because you own the order and document layer in Medusa, Rule 46 compliant invoices and IRN generation are things you can build, and we do build them. On Shopify you cannot build them at all, which is why most Indian stores end up paying a third-party invoicing tool to sit alongside it. See Shopify and GST compliance in India.
No, and we will say so on the call. Shopify is genuinely excellent at what it does. If your store is small, has no unusual checkout or B2B requirement and no engineering capacity to speak of, a migration is a cost with no return and you should stay. Medusa earns its place when platform fees have become material, when the checkout or pricing logic you need is something Shopify will not let you build, or when commerce has to sit inside a wider stack you own. The honest version of the argument is in why businesses are leaving Shopify.
