Shopify Plus vs. Magento

The decision to migrate from Magento (Adobe Commerce) to Shopify Plus is the most common replatforming discussion in the $10M-$100M GMV bracket.

TCO Breakdown

Magento requires dedicated DevOps, regular security patching, and complex server architecture. Shopify handles hosting entirely.

However, Magento allows unlimited database manipulation. If you have 500,000 SKUs with 50 variant attributes each, Magento can index it. Shopify will struggle with standard variants and require complex metaobject architecture.
