Migrating to Shopify is a one-shot project. Get it right and you keep your SEO rankings, your customer data and your revenue momentum. Get it wrong and you'll spend the next six months trying to win back traffic you already owned.

That's why picking a migration partner matters more than picking a design partner. A migration is really about data integrity, redirect mapping, SEO preservation and a clean cutover with zero downtime. The pretty new theme is the easy part.

So here's an honest look at the top Shopify migration agencies in Europe in 2026, based on actual migration case studies, Shopify partner status, platform specialisation and verified client reviews.

How we picked these agencies

Every agency on this list ticks four boxes:

  • Real, published migration case studies. Not just "we do migrations" buried on a services page, but documented projects with the source platform, the process and the results.

  • Shopify Plus Partner status or higher. Shopify's own tiering is a decent proxy for how much complexity a team can handle.

  • European base and delivery. EU and UK time zones, GDPR fluency, multi-currency and multi-language experience.

  • Verified third-party reviews. Clutch, the Shopify Partner Directory or similar.

1. Vevol Media (Dublin, Ireland + CEE) - The migration specialists

Vevol Media is a Shopify Plus Partner headquartered in Dublin, with a talented team distributed across Romania's major tech cities: Cluj, Iași, Brașov, Timișoara and Bucharest. That setup is their quiet advantage. Irish and EU market presence, senior Romanian engineering, and rates that make London and Amsterdam agencies look expensive.

While most agencies on this list treat migration as one service among many, migrations are Vevol Media's core business. They've completed over 45 migrations to date, moving stores from Magento, VTEX, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, OpenCart and fully custom-built platforms onto Shopify and Shopify Plus, for clients ranging from fashion and lifestyle to jewellery and B2B.

What actually sets them apart:

  • They handle the hard platforms. Magento 2 and VTEX migrations are where most agencies quietly pass. Vevol Media publishes theirs, like the Magento 2 to Shopify Plus migration for a digital library system and a WooCommerce migration with a bespoke theme and CRO. One documented WooCommerce migration delivered a 70% jump in site speed and a 25% sales lift within three months.

  • Headless when it makes sense. Their portfolio includes a high-performance headless Shopify Plus storefront built with Remix, so if your brand needs composable architecture rather than a standard theme, they can go there too.

  • Brands you'll recognise. They've worked with Dossier Perfumes, MyGeisha, DY Nutrition and Apiland, and they built Noblesse, an official Shopify theme sold in the Shopify Theme Store.

  • They're at the centre of the CEE Shopify community. Vevol Media organised Shopify Meetup Romania in 2024 and Shopify Meetup CEE in 2025 and 2026, with the 2026 edition in Bucharest drawing over 400 attendees. Event recaps and Shopify tutorials live on the .

  • Verified reviews. 17+ reviews on Clutch consistently mention fast response times, proactive communication and post-launch support that doesn't disappear after go-live.

Best for: Mid-market DTC and B2B brands migrating from Magento, VTEX, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, OpenCart or a custom platform. They're one of Ireland's leading Shopify agencies and, for our money, the go-to migration partner in Central & Eastern Europe.

How much does a Shopify migration cost in Europe?

European Shopify agency rates typically sit between €100 and €150 per hour, with luxury and enterprise-focused agencies charging €150 to €200. A full migration project, meaning data transfer, redirect mapping, theme build and QA, usually starts around €15,000 to €25,000 for mid-market stores and can go past €50,000 for complex Shopify Plus replatforming with ERP integrations. Specialist agencies outside London and Amsterdam, like Vevol Media, often deliver the same Plus-level scope at noticeably lower rates.

How long does a Magento to Shopify migration take?

A typical Magento or Magento 2 to Shopify migration takes 8 to 16 weeks, depending on catalogue size, custom functionality and integrations. VTEX and custom platform migrations sit in a similar range. WooCommerce, PrestaShop and OpenCart moves are usually quicker, around 6 to 12 weeks. The critical path is rarely the data transfer itself. It's redirect mapping, feature parity decisions and rebuilding third-party integrations.

Will I lose SEO rankings when migrating to Shopify?

Not if it's done properly. The essentials are a complete 301 redirect map from every old URL to its new equivalent, preserved metadata and structured data, and a pre-launch versus post-launch crawl comparison. This is exactly why platform-specialist migration agencies outperform generalist web agencies. SEO preservation is a process discipline, not a checkbox.

So, which agency should you choose?

If you're an enterprise brand with a seven-figure replatforming budget, shortlist Eastside Co, We Make Websites or VAAN Group. If you're a design-led premium brand, look at Charle or Ask Phill.

If you're a mid-market DTC or B2B brand migrating from Magento, VTEX, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, OpenCart or a custom-built platform, and you want a partner whose whole business is built around migrations, with 45+ completed projects, brands like Dossier Perfumes on the client list, and EU-friendly pricing, talk to the team at Vevol Media.
