What moves, and what stays intact

SOURCEMagento 1 (including stalled/incomplete prior migrations)
TARGETMagento 2 (current supported release)
PRESERVEDProduct/order/customer data, SEO equity (URLs + redirects), existing customizations
ARCHITECTURE GAINStandalone database for order management/checkout
PLATFORM GAINMobile-responsive checkout, Composer-based installs

Our process

01

Audit

Map existing data, customizations, and URL structure before anything moves.

02

Plan

Build a migration plan that preserves SEO equity (redirects, canonical URLs) and flags customizations that need rebuilding versus direct porting.

03

Migrate

Move product, order, and customer data onto Magento 2's architecture, rebuilding customizations against its service contracts.

04

Verify

Test the migrated store end-to-end - checkout, search, and every redirect - before cutting over.

CAUTION /

Magento 1 no longer receives security patches from Adobe. Every month spent mid-migration or undecided is a month of unpatched exposure on a platform that isn't coming back - the risk compounds, it doesn't hold steady.

✦ QUESTIONS MERCHANTS ASK

Move Your Store to Magento 2 - Without Losing What You've Built FAQ.

Will I lose my SEO rankings during a Magento 2 migration?+
Not if it's done right - preserving URL structure and setting up proper redirects is part of the migration plan, not an afterthought.
What happens to my existing customizations?+
Each one gets evaluated during the audit - some port directly, others get rebuilt against Magento 2's architecture so they keep working long-term.
I'm stuck mid-migration from a previous attempt. Can you pick it up?+
Yes - that's a common starting point. We audit what's already been done before deciding what to keep and what to redo.
Why move off Magento 1 at all?+
Magento 1 no longer receives security patches from Adobe - every month on it is unpatched exposure on a platform that isn't coming back.
Does Magento 2 actually perform better?+
Yes - a standalone database for order management and checkout, plus a more mobile-friendly frontend, are both architecture-level gains over Magento 1.
