Moving a store from VirtueMart can be complicated, and errors are easy to make. Our team offers complete VirtueMart to Shopify migration support from planning to launch.
The issue with VirtueMart, store features rely on multiple extensions and templates, which creates performance issues and long-term stability risks.
Map needed extensions to matching Shopify apps cleanly Replace outdated add-ons with Shopify native functions Reduce extension clutter before data export begins Build missing features with custom Shopify components
The issue with VirtueMart, product data and category setups follow irregular structures that change based on template choices and older Joomla versions.
Normalize product data before export and review Match VirtueMart fields to Shopify formats accurately Rebuild categories to follow Shopify’s collection model Fix malformed records that block clean import steps
The issue with VirtueMart, checkout flow depends on older modules that may not match Shopify’s secure, hosted checkout or its supported payment options.
Recreate checkout logic using Shopify’s built-in flow Align shipping rules with Shopify carrier settings Shift taxes to Shopify’s automated tax engine Test every scenario with real orders before launch
The issue with VirtueMart, image folders and naming styles vary by site setup, which creates broken links and missing thumbnails during migration.
Organize all media into a clean export structure Relink images to correct products after import Compress large files for faster Shopify load speeds Remove outdated or unused media during cleanup

We have been working with Folio3 since 2018. We are extremely fortunate to have found such a fantastic team of people. They are professional, organized, time-sensitive, and their work is stellar. Most recently, we needed support with dynamic schema mark-up and GA4 event integrations.
As you know our project is quite complicated & involves some fairly intricate customizations. Overall we are very happy with the progress so far. We feel that your team understands our requirements very well & also anticipates issues & provides effective solutions.
The Folio3 team is a pleasure to work with. During the project, they were responsive and their turnaround time was always stellar.
Cost depends on catalog size, extensions used, and custom features. Most projects are scoped after reviewing your store structure.
A typical migration takes two to six weeks. Bigger catalogs or custom features may require more time.
We recreate URLs when possible, add redirects, and confirm metadata so rankings stay stable.
Products, customers, orders, categories, media, and content pages are transferred after cleanup and mapping.
Your old store stays active until final switch-over. Downtime is limited to a short cutover window during launch.
