Magento Migration

Magento migration services
before the clock runs out.

Magento 1 has been end-of-life since June 2020. No security patches. No PCI compliance. No future. We migrate Magento 1 and legacy M2 stores to Adobe Commerce with zero data loss, full SEO preservation, and a timeline measured in weeks, not quarters.

01 // The Risk

What staying on legacy Magento
is really costing you

1
Security risk - No patches since 2020. Your store is a target for credit card skimmers, data breaches, and compliance violations.
2
Performance penalty - Magento 1 stores average 4–6 second load times. Every additional second of load time reduces conversions by 7%.
3
SEO decay - Google's Core Web Vitals directly penalize slow, outdated stores. Your organic rankings are eroding month by month.
4
Developer scarcity - Finding developers willing to work on Magento 1 is getting harder and more expensive. The talent pool has moved on.
5
Extension rot - Key extensions are no longer maintained. Payment gateways, shipping integrations, and tax calculators are being deprecated.

The longer you wait, the more expensive migration becomes - because technical debt compounds.

02 // Process

A migration process built on 50+ projects

01

Phase 1: Discovery & Audit

Week 1
  • Full store audit — data structure, customizations, extensions, integrations
  • SEO audit — crawl existing site, map all URLs, identify ranking pages
  • Performance baseline — document current load times, conversion rates
  • Gap analysis — what exists, what needs rebuilding, what can be dropped
Deliverable: Migration plan with scope, timeline, and fixed price
02

Phase 2: Data Migration

Weeks 2–3
  • Customer accounts, order history, product catalog, categories
  • Custom attributes, configurable products, bundled products
  • CMS pages and blocks
  • Multiple dry runs to ensure data integrity
Deliverable: Verified data migration with comparison reports
03

Phase 3: Theme & Frontend

Weeks 3–6
  • Modern Hyva theme implementation (or custom design)
  • Mobile-first responsive build
  • Sub-2-second load time target
  • Checkout optimization
Deliverable: Frontend build ready for review
04

Phase 4: Integrations & Custom Code

Weeks 4–7
  • ERP, PIM, CRM reconnections
  • Payment gateway setup (Stripe, PayPal, Braintree, etc.)
  • Shipping and tax reconfiguration
  • Custom module migration or rebuild
Deliverable: Fully functional store in staging
05

Phase 5: SEO Preservation

Throughout
  • 301 redirect map for every URL
  • Canonical tag strategy
  • XML sitemap regeneration
  • Schema markup implementation
  • Google Search Console monitoring
Deliverable: Zero ranking loss post-migration
06

Phase 6: Launch & Stabilization

Deliverable: Live store with monitoring in place
03 // Why Us

We've seen every migration horror story

SEO is not an afterthought.

Most agencies treat SEO preservation as a checkbox at the end. We plan for it from day one. We've completed migrations with zero ranking loss because we map every URL, preserve every backlink, and monitor Search Console throughout.

We don't rebuild everything from scratch.

Some agencies use migration as an excuse to sell a $300K+ ground-up rebuild. We audit what you have and migrate what works. Custom code that still serves a purpose gets refactored, not discarded.

Fixed-price sprints, not open-ended timelines.

You know exactly what each phase costs before it starts. No scope creep surprises. No "we discovered additional complexity" invoices.

We've done this 50+ times.

Across 8 countries, 15 industries, and stores ranging from $5M to $200M+ in revenue. We know where migrations break and we plan around it.

04 // Migration Paths

Where are you migrating from?

Magento 1 → Adobe Commerce (Magento 2)

The most common migration. Full data transfer, URL preservation, modern frontend (Hyva recommended). Timeline: 8–14 weeks depending on complexity.

Magento 2 (outdated) → Adobe Commerce Cloud

Upgrade from self-hosted M2 to Adobe Commerce Cloud for managed infrastructure, auto-scaling, and reduced DevOps burden. Timeline: 4–8 weeks.

Shopify Plus → Adobe Commerce

Outgrowing Shopify Plus? We handle the full migration — products, customers, orders, SEO — and unlock the customization you've been missing.

WooCommerce → Adobe Commerce

Moving from WooCommerce to an enterprise platform? We migrate your data, rebuild your frontend, and set you up for the scale WooCommerce couldn't handle.

BigCommerce → Adobe Commerce

Need more flexibility than BigCommerce allows? We migrate your catalog, customer data, and order history while building the custom experience you need.

05 // FAQ

Migration questions

Typical M1 → M2 migration: 8–14 weeks. Simpler store upgrades: 4–8 weeks. Complex multi-store or heavily customized stores: 14–20 weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline after the discovery audit.

Not if we do it right — and we always do. We create comprehensive 301 redirect maps, preserve URL structures where possible, implement proper canonical tags, and monitor Search Console throughout. Across 50+ migrations, our track record on SEO preservation is clean.

It depends on store complexity — number of products, custom extensions, integrations, and design requirements. But as a benchmark: if a traditional agency quotes $200K, our typical range for the same scope is $80K–$120K. We'll give you a fixed price after discovery.

Yes, but we'd recommend against it. If your current theme is based on Luma (Magento's default), you're leaving significant performance gains on the table. A Hyva theme implementation during migration typically delivers 2–3x faster page loads.

We audit every extension during discovery. Some have direct M2 equivalents. Some need custom replacements. Some aren't needed anymore. We'll give you a full compatibility report before we start.

We've migrated stores with 500K+ SKUs, multi-store setups across 5+ brands, custom ERP integrations, and B2B pricing engines. Complexity is what we specialize in.
