Magento to Shopify Plus Migration in Leicester
Moving Leicester merchants from Magento to Shopify Plus, where the value of the tier is worth testing against your actual requirements. Plus buys checkout extensibility, multiple storefronts, higher API allowances and wholesale capability — a substantial sum if you need those things and a substantial sum if you do not.
Why this comes up
The problem
Plus was chosen for the brand tier rather than because any of its specific capabilities were needed.
What you get
What we deliver
- Requirements mapped to specific Plus capabilities rather than to the tier generally
- Checkout extensions built where Magento logic genuinely has to be preserved
- Multiple storefronts configured where regions or brands justify separation
- Wholesale and B2B requirements assessed against what the platform provides
- Catalogue, customer and order data migrated with structure intact
- Redirects and integrations rebuilt, since neither carries over from Magento

Working in Leicester
East Midlands
Leicester is our home city. We are based here, most of our team lives here, and a good share of our clients are within a half-hour drive — which means site visits, workshops and hardware installs happen in person rather than over a call.
The most common briefs here are ecommerce for the city's textile and food manufacturers, booking systems for its large independent hospitality scene, and stock and logistics integration for distributors along the M1 corridor.

Magento to Shopify Plus Migration in Leicester — common questions
- What does Plus actually add?
- Chiefly the ability to extend checkout, run multiple storefronts under one organisation, higher API limits and wholesale features. Each is worth paying for if you need it — the mistake is buying the tier for its status and using none of them.
- How much Magento checkout logic can be preserved?
- More than on standard Shopify, but not everything. Discounts, validation and delivery logic can be reimplemented through the platform's extension points, while some behaviour has to change — so the exercise is deciding what genuinely matters rather than reproducing it all.
- Do we need separate storefronts?
- Only where the catalogue, currency or brand genuinely differs by market. Separate storefronts multiply the work of every future change, so businesses that could serve several regions from one store usually should — the capability exists for cases where that is not possible.
- What is the honest comparison with staying?
- It depends on where your costs are. A well-run Magento estate with specialist support is not obviously more expensive than Plus, so the comparison should include hosting, patching, developer availability and the risk carried by the current setup — not the licence figure alone.
- Do you work with businesses across Leicestershire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Leicester and the surrounding Leicestershire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Leicester businesses do you usually work with?
- The most common briefs here are ecommerce for the city's textile and food manufacturers, booking systems for its large independent hospitality scene, and stock and logistics integration for distributors along the M1 corridor. Beyond that we work across Manufacturing, Textiles & Fashion, Logistics, Food & Drink, Retail and Higher Education.
- Do you cover the areas around Leicester?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Loughborough, Nottingham, Derby, Coventry, Northampton. Leicester is an urban area of roughly 560,000+, and we take on work across the wider Leicestershire region rather than the city boundary alone.
