From Magento 2 to Shopify-
a complete migration
and a brand-new store.
Lumination is a well-established UK lighting retailer with a catalogue spanning interior, exterior, and commercial products. We moved their entire operation from Magento 2 to Shopify: every product, every customer account, every order record. Not a single data point lost. Alongside the migration, we built a custom Shopify 2.0 theme from scratch, giving the brand a store that finally matches the quality of what it sells.

A UK lighting specialist with a product range to match
Lumination sells lighting. A lot of it. Interior pendants, outdoor wall lights, commercial LED fittings, smart home systems, decorative sconces, track lighting and more. It's a broad catalogue, built up over years, sold to homeowners and trade customers across the UK. By the time we got involved, they'd been running on Magento 2 long enough for the cracks to start showing.
Support costs were climbing. Development work that should've taken days was taking weeks. And performance on mobile had slipped to a point where it was visibly affecting the shopping experience. Our Magento 2 to Shopify migration service was exactly what they needed, but it had to be done carefully. Years of accumulated SEO authority and a complete customer database were on the line.
The brief was clear: move everything to Shopify without losing a single ranking signal or a single record, then build a store that reflects the quality of the products inside it. We've done over 100 migrations at this point. This one still stands out.

Understanding the scale of the project
Before touching a single file, we spent time understanding what Lumination actually is. Four things shaped every architecture and design decision that followed.
A platform that had become a barrier to growth
Lumination had the products, the customers, and the search rankings. Magento 2 had become the thing getting in the way. These were the four specific risks we were brought in to deal with.
A surgical migration, built to protect everything
We ran the Lumination migration across six structured phases, from discovery and URL auditing through to a managed launch day and post-launch monitoring. Every decision came back to one thing: protect what they'd built on Magento, and build something better on Shopify. If you're looking at a similar move, our platform migration service covers the full process.
Four outcomes that defined the project's success
The migration gave Lumination a modern, high-performance Shopify store. No products lost, no customers lost, no search rankings dropped. Here are the four areas that mattered most. If you're curious how this compares to other work we've done, take a look at Bubbaroo, another Magento migration with its own set of challenges.

Every technology decision came back to the same question: will this make Lumination's store simpler to manage, faster to load, and easier to grow? After years of Magento 2 overhead, those weren't abstract goals, they were specific things the team had been waiting for.
