The real pain of staying on Adobe Commerce
Magento was a revolution 10 years ago. Today, for many brands, it's a technical burden that eats margin, speed and talent.
Adobe Commerce requires your own hosting (cloud or on-premise), annual license, security patches, backups and a sysadmin team. On Shopify all of that is included and managed.
Hosting, SSL, PCI, security patches, peak scaling, database optimization… If something breaks at 3 AM, it's your team that wakes up. No SLA saves you.
Going from Magento 2.4.3 to 2.4.6 can cost €30,000–€100,000 and break critical extensions. On Shopify updates are automatic, invisible and with no downtime.
Adobe Commerce certified developers cost twice what Shopify specialists do. And they're harder to find, hire and retain.
Every landing, promo, AB test or new pixel needs a ticket to the PHP team. The growth team spends more time in Jira than iterating campaigns.
CDNs, cache, image optimization, lazy loading… All manual and expensive. Without a solid team, mobile LCP spikes and Meta/Google penalize ROAS.
9 reasons Shopify Plus beats Adobe Commerce
Lower real TCO
Forget licenses, dedicated hosting, sysadmin and traumatic upgrades. Flat fee + predictable SaaS apps. In 1M€–20M€ stores we see savings of 40–60% over total Adobe Commerce cost.
Execution speed
New promo, landing, AB test or pixel: minutes, not sprints. Marketing and product stop depending on the dev calendar.
Performance without DevOps
Shopify's global CDN, automatic cache, optimized images and modern theme. Fast mobile without hiring an infrastructure team.
Checkout that converts
Shop Pay, native wallets and a checkout that performs +17% vs custom solutions. A direct revenue lift without touching traffic.
Zero platform maintenance
PCI, SSL, security patches, updates and scaling: Shopify handles it all. Your team stops fighting infrastructure and focuses on selling.
100% eCommerce ecosystem
13,000+ proven apps: ERP, OMS, subscriptions, loyalty, retention, marketplaces. What in Adobe Commerce is weeks of custom dev, here is plug & play.
Internationalization with Shopify Markets
Multi-currency, multi-language, domains and per-country pricing natively. Opening a new market stops being a 6-month project and becomes a few days of setup.
Sell inside AI
Shopify is the first platform with products buyable from ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot. A channel Adobe Commerce still doesn't touch.
Modern stack and accessible talent
Liquid, Hydrogen, Functions, Remix. You attract and retain developers instead of hunting ever scarcer, pricier senior Adobe Commerce profiles.
Adobe Commerce vs Shopify Plus
What matters when you already bill seriously and every team hour counts.
| Critical point | Adobe Commerce | Shopify Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Cost model | License + hosting + devs + extensions | Predictable flat fee |
| Infrastructure | Yours: servers, backups, scaling | 100% managed by Shopify |
| Time-to-market of a feature | Weeks / sprints | Hours / days |
| Developer dependency | Total and specialized (PHP/Java) | Minimal — autonomous marketing |
| Checkout | Custom, costly to optimize | Shop Pay + +17% conversion |
| Mobile speed | Requires DevOps and expensive CDN | Global CDN + native cache |
| International | Costly, complex multi-store | Native Shopify Markets |
| Platform updates | Traumatic project every version | Automatic, invisible, 0 downtime |
| Annual TCO (1M€–20M€) | 150k€ – 500k€+ | 30k€ – 250k€ |
What happens in 1M€–20M€ brands after leaving Adobe Commerce
It's not a "+15% tomorrow" promise. It's the pattern we see when a brand leaves Adobe Commerce well accompanied: less cost, more control, more speed and a better end-customer experience.
"We went from a team of 3 full-time devs maintaining Magento to one Shopify specialist. We cut annual platform cost by 50% and freed up 60 weekly development hours."
— CTO of a European brand, post Adobe Commerce → Shopify Plus migration- TCO reduction between 40% and 60% vs license + hosting + dedicated team.
- Time-to-market of promos and landings goes from weeks to hours.
- Autonomous marketing team: stops depending on the dev calendar.
- Better mobile conversion without a six-figure optimization project.
- Total stability in big campaigns (Meta, Google Shopping, TikTok).
- Modern stack: easier to hire and retain product and dev talent.
- Agile internationalization with Shopify Markets, no multi-store.
- Business roadmap in the hands of the business, not the PHP team.
What Shopify Plus does NOT fix
Leaving Adobe Commerce frees up a lot of budget and speed, but it won't save a business that doesn't sell. If Magento doesn't convert for these reasons, Shopify won't either:
That's why in every migration we first audit product, conversion and stack to ensure Shopify will move the needle in your case.
When to migrate (and when not)
The right question isn't "Is Shopify better than Adobe Commerce?". It's "Is Magento's cost and friction already braking my growth?".
Migrate now if…
- Your license + hosting + tech team bill grows faster than your margin
- Every minimal store change requires a ticket and a dev sprint
- The marketing team loses weeks waiting for deploys
- Your mobile LCP exceeds 3s and you don't want another optimization project
- You want to open new markets without setting up a costly multi-store
- Every Magento version upgrade scares you and costs 5 figures
- You can't find (or afford) more senior Adobe Commerce developers
- You want to regain control of your ecommerce roadmap
Wait if…
- You have ultra-custom B2B logic with complex ERP integrations that still add more than they weigh
- You're in the middle of a recent re-platform that hasn't amortized yet
- Your ERP/OMS depends on proprietary extensions with no clear short-term replacement
- You're in peak campaign (Q4) and can't afford 8–16 weeks of transition
- You need very specific PWA/headless features you've already amortized

Go-live with no downtime
Controlled deployment, 24/7 monitoring the first weeks and support for tracking, pixels and active campaigns.
What everyone asks
We've been on Adobe Commerce for years and it works for us. Is it really worth migrating?
If you're asking, the bill usually already stings: annual license, hosting, dedicated dev team, costly upgrades and conflicting extensions. In 1M€–20M€ brands we see savings of 40–60% moving to Shopify Plus, plus multiplying marketing speed. The question isn't whether Adobe Commerce works, it's how much it's costing you to keep it working.
How long does a serious Adobe Commerce to Shopify Plus migration take?
Between 8 and 20 weeks depending on complexity (catalog, OMS/ERP integrations, B2B, multi-market, custom extensions). Go-live has 0 minutes of downtime: we work in parallel on a mirror environment while your Adobe Commerce keeps selling, and the DNS switch is done cold with 24/7 monitoring.
How much does it cost and how much will we really save?
The migration project usually ranges from €25,000 to €150,000+ depending on scope and integrations. The average recurring saving we see in 1M€–20M€ brands is 40–60% over current Adobe Commerce TCO (license + hosting + team). We deliver a closed business case after the free audit, with projected savings over 24 months.
Will I lose SEO ranking when changing platform?
No, if done right — and it's where most migrations fail. We map URL by URL, generate 301 redirects one by one, migrate metadata, schema and hreflang. A 2–6 week organic volatility is normal and from month 2-3 KPIs recover and usually surpass Adobe Commerce's thanks to better speed and mobile experience.
We have B2B and B2C on Adobe Commerce. Does Shopify Plus support it without splitting the business?
Yes. Shopify Plus B2B manages catalogs, per-customer pricing, payment terms, volume discounts and per-account orders in the same panel as B2C. For many cases it replaces what you do today in Adobe Commerce with expensive, rigid B2B extensions.
We have custom extensions and heavy ERP integration. Can it all be replicated in Shopify?
90% yes, with three advantages: proven SaaS apps, Shopify Functions for server-side logic and Hydrogen for headless frontend if needed. We evaluate it in the audit: if something critical doesn't fit, we tell you before charging you a euro. We'd rather lose a project than sell smoke.
What happens to customers, historical orders and active subscriptions?
We migrate customers, addresses, order history, segmentations and wishlist. Passwords aren't portable for security, so customers get a transparent email to reset them on first login. Active subscriptions are mapped to the equivalent Shopify app without losing recurring charges.
And the integration with Adobe Experience Cloud (Analytics, Target, Campaign)?
It stays. We connect Shopify Plus with Adobe Analytics, Adobe Target or Adobe Campaign via API, native connectors or middleware. You don't have to give up the Adobe ecosystem: you just stop paying for the most expensive, slowest part, which is Adobe Commerce.
