Case Study: Zero Makeup's Smooth Migration from Magento 2 to Shopify

Problem
Zero Makeup is a high-end cosmetics brand from Pakistan, widely recognized for its quick, natural-looking makeup solutions tailored to South Asian skin tones. Magento 2 store had become increasingly difficult to manage due to high maintenance costs, performance issues and complex backend operations. Frequent updates, slow page loads and costly third-party extensions were impacting user experience and internal workflows. As a leading Pakistani brand focused on digital growth, Zero Makeup needed a secure, scalable and cost-effective solution, prompting the decision to migrate to Shopify with the help of AAlogics.

Challenges
The migration of a fully functional eCommerce website from Magento 2 to Shopify presented several challenges:
- Data Migration: Transferring all customer data, order history and product information from Magento 2 to Shopify without data loss or inconsistency.
- Frontend Customization: The Shopify theme provided was limited and extensive customization was required to match Zero Makeup’s existing brand identity.
- Design Fidelity: Maintaining the unique design elements and user interface that customers were familiar with while adapting them to the Shopify theme's structure.
- Third-party Integrations: Migrating or replacing Magento-specific plugins and extensions with Shopify-compatible apps or custom-built features.
- SEO Preservation: Ensuring URL structures, meta information and overall SEO performance were preserved during the migration to avoid ranking drops.
