Why switch from Contao to Shopify?

Contao is a strong CMS for editorial work and content, but your e-commerce runs on the Isotope eCommerce extension, meaning an add-on rather than a dedicated shop core. That becomes a problem as you grow: limited commerce features, weaker checkout conversion, little marketing and app ecosystem, plus self-hosted maintenance with constant updates.

Frequently Asked Questions about Contao Migration

What does the migration from Contao to Shopify cost?
The costs depend on the size of your shop, the number of products, and the scope of your CMS content. After a free initial consultation, we provide you with a binding fixed-price offer. This way, you know from the start what to expect, without hidden costs or surprises.

How long does the migration take?
Most migrations are completed within 3 weeks. With many Isotope products and extensive CMS content, it can take a little longer. After the analysis, you receive a binding timeline with all milestones.

Does my Contao shop need to go offline during migration?
No, your shop stays online and operational throughout the entire migration. We build the new Shopify shop in parallel and only perform the switch at the very end. The actual changeover takes only a few minutes, so you don't lose any revenue.

Will my SEO rankings be preserved after the migration?
Yes, preserving your rankings is our top priority. This is especially critical with a grown CMS like Contao that has many content pages. We document all existing URLs, create a complete redirect map, and implement clean 301 redirects. We also transfer all meta data like title tags and descriptions.

Can I bring my content pages and blog along?
Yes. Contao is strong in content, and that strength is not lost. We transfer your content pages and blog articles including structure and meta data into the Shopify CMS and Shopify blog. That way your editorial setup is preserved and you additionally get Shopify's full commerce depth.

Technical details, explained transparently

Transfer the Isotope shop

Your products, categories and orders live in the Isotope extension, not in a dedicated shop core.

We export all Isotope data in a structured way and cleanly transfer products, variants, categories and orders into Shopify.

Preserve CMS content & blog

Contao is strong in content, with many pages and blog articles grown and ranking over the years.

We carry content pages and blog articles including structure and meta data into the Shopify CMS and Shopify blog.

Replace missing commerce features

Isotope only covers many modern shop functions like payment methods, marketing and app integrations to a limited extent.

We map missing functions via the native Shopify feature set and matching apps from the App Store.

SEO URLs & structure

A grown URL structure made of CMS and shop pages must be fully preserved so no rankings are lost.

We capture every URL, create a complete redirect map, and redirect each page via 301 to its Shopify counterpart.
