Platform
Korte omschrijving i

Magento (Adobe Commerce) is a powerful open-source e-commerce platform with endless flexibility, but often comes with high costs and complex management.

Kosten / TCO i

Licence costs (for Adobe Commerce), hosting, customisation and maintenance make Magento relatively expensive.

Updates & onderhoud i

Major upgrades and patches are complex and time-consuming. Often have an impact on customisations.

Updates run automatically, with no impact on merchants.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a Magento to Shopify migration take?
Average lead time is 4–8 weeks, depending on scope and customisation. Thanks to our automation we speed up data export and validation.

Yes. Customer data and order history are fully migrated. Passwords can be partially migrated depending on hashing, or we set up a secure reset flow in Shopify.
