Platform migration

Moving an e-commerce store is risky. Catalog data drifts, SEO rankings drop, customer data ends up fragmented, and the project doubles in scope as unplanned additions accumulate. We’ve done enough migrations to know where each of these goes wrong.

Migrations we run

• Magento 1 to Magento 2 / Mage-OS, including extension audits and custom-module rewrites. Magento 1 is end-of-life; if you are still running it, you are exposed to known CVEs.
• WooCommerce to Shopify or Magento is the most common path, for shops that outgrew WordPress: WP-plugin-to-app mapping, content migration, SEO preservation.
• Custom / legacy to Shopify or Magento, for when the bespoke stack has become the constraint.
• Shopify and Magento, either direction, comes up more rarely, and is usually driven by B2B requirements or a change in catalog complexity.

What we preserve

• SEO. Full URL inventory, a 301 redirect map, canonical handling, hreflang. We benchmark organic traffic before and after.
• Catalog: products, variants, prices, custom attributes, media, and inventory locations, validated row by row.
• Customer data, meaning accounts, addresses, and order history, with GDPR-aware handling of marketing consent.
• Integrations. Every ERP, PIM, WMS, and payments hook that exists today gets re-implemented and tested before cutover.

How we cut over

We parallel-run the old and new shops with shadow traffic instead of a big-bang launch. The old shop stays authoritative until the new one has demonstrably matched it, and we keep a rollback path open until 30 days post-launch. A written go/no-go checklist is signed off before cutover, so the decision is not improvised on launch night.
