Can you migrate from Shopify / Magento 1 / Custom to Magento 2.4.9 in Amsterdam?
Yes, the three migration paths we run weekly for Amsterdam clients. Shopify Plus → Magento 2.4.9: 6-10 weeks, Data Migration Tool for products + orders + customers, custom scripts for Shopify metafields + apps, hosting on TransIP / Leaseweb or AWS Frankfurt. Reasons we hear in Amsterdam: better iDEAL handling (Shopify’s iDEAL via Stripe is clunky), lower per-txn fees at €1M+ scale (no 0.15% Shopify Plus tax), Hyvä performance, true multi-language NL+EN+DE storefronts. Lightspeed → Magento: 6-8 weeks, Lightspeed (Dutch-popular SMB platform) struggles past €500k GMV. Magento 1 → Magento 2.4.9: 10-16 weeks, official Data Migration Tool + extension audit (M1 extensions don’t port), Hyvä theme rebuild. Reason: M1 is EOL since June 2020, PCI-DSS non-compliant. Custom → Magento: scoped per-codebase, 12-20 weeks. URL-preservation 301-redirects are mandatory in all four cases, we map every product + category to keep your NL SEO intact.
