1st Official Medusa Solution partner
Migrate from Shopify Plus to Medusa, open-source commerce you own. Your platform cost stops rising with your revenue, and features you rent from apps become code you keep. Fixed price, and your store keeps selling through the switch.
When Shopify Plus starts to cost more than it gives
Shopify Plus is a great place to grow. At some point it becomes an expensive place to stay.
Fees that grow with you
High-volume merchants move to a revenue-based platform fee. A good year raises your bill.
An app for everything
Subscriptions, B2B pricing, bundles, search. Each is another invoice and another dependency.
A checkout you can’t fully shape
Custom logic has to fit inside Shopify’s rules.
B2B and multi-market workarounds
Wholesale pricing, ERP sync and several markets held together with apps and scripts.
If two or more of these sound familiar, a migration is worth a closer look.
What changes when you migrate from Shopify Plus
| On Shopify Plus | On Medusa |
|---|---|
| Platform fee tied to your revenue | Hosting and support you can plan for |
| Shopify Payments or a surcharge | The payment provider of your choice |
| A stack of paid apps | Features built into your platform, owned by you |
| Checkout within Shopify’s limits | A checkout built around your buyers |
| Markets and B2B through add-ons | Regions, currencies and B2B pricing in the core |
| Roadmap set by Shopify | Roadmap set by you |
Keep the store live while its Medusa replacement gets ready
Import once, sync changes while Shopify stays live, then stop syncing when Medusa takes over.

What moves, and how
Products and catalogue
Products, variants, collections, metafields and images, mapped to Medusa and checked against the source.
Customers
Profiles, addresses and history move across. Shopify doesn’t allow password export, so we plan a branded reset flow timed to launch.
Order history
Past orders arrive in Medusa, so your service team and your customers still see them.
Subscriptions
We work with your subscription and payment providers to move active subscribers without a new sign-up.
Apps
Each app is reviewed: rebuild it as a feature, replace it with an integration, or drop it.
SEO
Every /products/, /collections/ and /pages/ URL is mapped and redirected, so rankings and backlinks survive.
Priced up front, before you commit

What every migration includes
Complete data migration
Mapped, transformed and checked, not just exported.
Zero-downtime cutover
Parallel until proven. Launch is a DNS change, not a leap of faith.
SEO preservation
URL mapping, redirects, structured data and performance budgets.
Integration rebuild
ERP, payments, email, fulfilment and analytics.
Your brand, rebuilt faithfully
Reimplemented, not accidentally redesigned.
Warranty, handover and Care
90-day warranty, documentation and training, plus three months of Care.
Is a migration worth it for you?
A good fit if you
- Pay Shopify a revenue-based platform fee, or will soon
- Run several paid apps to cover what your platform should do itself
- Sell B2B, in several markets, or need an ERP your setup keeps fighting
- Want your roadmap set by your team, not a platform vendor
Probably not a fit if
You're on a standard Shopify plan, it does what you need and the fees are modest. Stay put. A migration won't pay for itself, and we'd rather tell you now.

How a migration runs
01 // Weeks 1 to 2
Audit
Data, integrations, SEO and buyer flows mapped, including a cost comparison with your current Shopify spend. You get a fixed quote.
02
Parallel build
Built alongside your live store in short cycles, with working software you can test from week one.
03
Rehearse and switch
Full data dry runs, redirect testing and your sign-off on staging. Then the DNS switch, reversible until you say otherwise.
04
After launch
Warranty and three months of Care start at go-live. After day 90, continue with Care at €1,500 a month, step up to a Partner team at €4,500, or stop with 30 days’ notice.
Most replatforms just change landlords. On Medusa, the code, the data and the roadmap are yours. Custom pricing and integrations become features you own, not apps you rent.
