Migration de Magento vers Shopify

Do you have an E-commerce site under Magento 1 or Magento 2 and are you looking for a new platform that can meet your needs?

💡 Shopify is here for that! 💡

With its robustness, its many customization possibilities and its flexibility, you will find the advantages of Magento without the disadvantages. Let's see together the good reasons to carry out a Migration de Magento vers Shopify (or Shopify Plus)!

 

🏆 Why migrate from Magento to Shopify? 

Migrate from Magento to Shopify is definitely the best thing that can happen to your E-commerce site. And believe it or not but this statement comes from the founder of Pikka who started working with Magento in 2009, long before knowing Shopify! 

Let's be clear, Magento had its heyday but today no longer offers the same quality as in the past and has not been able to evolve fast enough to counter Shopify or Shopify Plus. 

😱 Magento 1, an abandoned solution

Magento 1.9 (Open Source Edition) or Magento 1.14 (Commerce Edition) date from the middle of 2014! An eternity in E-commerce! Also, as of June 30, 2020, support has officially ended from Adobe for these versions. 

No update patch, no evolution, the Magento 1 solution is technically dead since that date. Installing it and continuing to use it represents a significant risk. A study having shown that 80% of Magento sites had security vulnerabilities.

In short, if you are on Magento 1, for example with Magento 1.9, it is urgent to initiate a process of migration to another platform. And you might as well choose a modern, functional and robust platform. So yes, you might be tempted to migrate to Magento 2. You can request a quote for a Magento two license from your favorite agency and compare with the same quote on Shopify. You will be (very) surprised. 

💲 Why is Magento 2 so expensive? 

Since its acquisition by Abode in 2018, Magento license prices have exploded to record highs. We receive many requests from merchants for migrate from Magento to Shopify because their license has become too expensive and threatens their profitability.

So admittedly, Shopify's sales commissions are generally not to their liking. But with a simple calculation of the cost of ownership (TCO) over two years, we can show them that it's ultimately a big saving for them. 

Admittedly, Shopify is not open source software, but in the end it is a real advantage because switching to Shopify actually allows a reduction of 60 to 80% in your technical maintenance costs every year. 

💎 Example of Shopify TCO for a site <10 Millions de CA 

Let's say you have an e-commerce site that makes just under million in revenue per year, or about 0,000/month.

Already, congratulations, it's a beautiful shop, bravo. But how much will Shopify cost you? 

In this case, the suitable package will certainly be Shopify Plus. So that's 00/month for 12 months or ,000 (around €22,000)

Ah yes, that's all. No extra commissions with Shopify Plus until sales exceed 0,000/month. 

Your TCO over two years will therefore be 22,000 +22,000 + migration costs. For an average migration project of around €40,000,000, this can make a two-year TCO of €84,000. 

There is no technical maintenance, no hosting, and nothing to add. Your total e-commerce technical budget for a site of almost 10 million euros is reduced to 84,000 € over two years... 

Difficult to make more economical, right? 

🚀 Migrating from Magento to Shopify is 

• Benefit from a site that can cash in TV passages, peak sales press, radio or any media without costing you an extra euro in maintenance, budget or hassle.
