Shopify to commercetools Migration
Replatform Shopify to commercetools when independent control of the commerce stack has a clear business case. Elogic Commerce scopes the data model, frontend and integration transition.
A short brief is enough to start. Detailed specifications can follow.
Is this the right next step?
A good fit when
- The business has valuable requirements that the current setup cannot meet well.
- Multiple channels need independently developed commerce experiences.
- An engineering team can own service integration, deployment and monitoring.

Shopify to commercetools Migration by Elogic Commerce
Elogic Commerce migrates Shopify stores to commercetools by designing the target commerce capabilities and surrounding services before the data move. We assess Shopify apps, product metadata and customer journeys, then define the storefront and integration architecture. The scope includes the operating responsibilities that come with a composable stack.
Elogic Commerce’s Enzio Manufacturing case study case demonstrates commercetools delivery with SAP ERP and Algolia. Its source platform is not stated. Treat it as destination experience and scope replacements for Shopify apps and hosted capabilities explicitly.
The destination needs more than a data import. Our composable commerce services help define component choices and operational ownership.
Choose the right starting point
Make the future operating model explicit
Map Shopify products, variants, metafields and app behavior to the chosen services. Decide who owns the frontend, content, checkout and integrations. Prove the highest-risk workflow and estimate ongoing operations before expanding the build.
From requirements to acceptance
What transfers, what changes
Scope decisions and checks to agree for your project
| Migration area | Work to scope | Acceptance check |
|---|---|---|
| Shopify app dependencies | Identify required behavior and any app-owned data. | Each dependency has an approved replacement or retirement decision. |
| Product metafields | Model meaningful types and references in the target catalog. | Search, content and buying experiences use valid target data. |
| Customer identity | Choose the identity model and plan supported account access. | The access journey works for new and existing customers. |
| Distributed order journey | Define responsibility across cart, payment, order and fulfillment services. | Failures are observable and recoverable without duplicate orders. |
| Theme and app behavior must be rebuilt across separate components | Map the buying journey and assign each retained behavior to a component owner. | The complete journey can be operated, observed and recovered across the proposed stack. |

Elogic Commerce in practice
Evidence from delivered work
See the work, the platform and the reported result in each published case. The cases demonstrate commercetools delivery and architecture assessment; neither identifies Shopify as the source of a commercetools migration.
Enzio Manufacturing
Elogic Commerce implemented a composable commerce platform connected to SAP ERP and Algolia, following discovery and customer journey work.
The source platform is not identified in the public case. The results substantiate commercetools delivery, not a named migration route.

Scope
What the migration covers
The final scope is agreed around your platform, priorities and operating needs.
01
Capability and app inventory
Document Shopify functions and app-provided behavior. Decide which target service or custom implementation will own each required capability.
02
Target commerce model
Translate products, variants, collections and metafields into product types, attributes and references. Test representative data before large imports.
03
Storefront and checkout engineering
Build or adapt the frontend and define cart, identity, payment and order interactions. Test failures across service boundaries, not only the happy path.
04
Migration and operational handover
Validate import processing and reconcile target records. Rehearse synchronization, release, monitoring and recovery with the teams that will operate the stack.

Scope, investment and delivery
How we make the work concrete
01
Start with the right inputs
Prepare an inventory of Shopify app responsibilities, product and customer data, checkout requirements and services your team will own after migration.
02
Define the scope and estimate
The estimate separates data preparation, feature replacement, storefront work, integrations, test migrations and cutover support. Data volume alone does not capture the work. Agree recurring platform, app and support costs alongside implementation.
03
Agree how to accept the work
Rehearse with representative records and reconcile products, customers and order totals. Validate account access, pricing, taxes, payments and fulfillment, then check redirects and analytics. Define the final synchronization, launch criteria and recovery responsibilities before cutover.

Your questions, answered
No. Elogic Commerce scopes the commerce model, supporting services, identity, integrations and ongoing operation as well as the frontend. A new storefront alone does not replace the capabilities of the source platform.
Useful metadata is mapped into the target model with explicit types and references. The migration validates how the data will be consumed, not simply whether each source field appears in an export.
List the business capability and data ownership behind each app. Compare native target functionality, a separate service and custom development against the same requirements. Include subscriptions, support obligations and data access in the replacement decision.
Potentially, if its architecture and commerce contracts can be adapted economically. We assess coupling to Shopify APIs and checkout before deciding whether retention is practical.
Can the organization support the target service architecture after launch? Engineering capacity, ownership, monitoring and change management are part of platform fit alongside customer-facing features.
