MAGENTO 2 MIGRATION
Magento 2 Migration Done Right. Zero Downtime. Zero Data Loss.
From M1, Shopify, or any platform — to M2.
Magento 1 is end-of-life and actively exploited. Migration to Magento 2 is not optional for M1 stores still in production. We've executed 20+ M1-to-M2 migrations — with complete data integrity, full feature parity or improvement, and zero downtime deployments. We also migrate from Shopify, WooCommerce, and custom platforms to Magento 2.

Magento 1 received its final security patch in June 2020. Every day it runs in production is a day of unmitigated security risk.
Magento 1 is actively exploited by automated attack tools that scan for the platform signature and attempt known vulnerabilities. If your M1 store is still live, it has received zero security patches since June 2020 and is significantly more vulnerable than a properly maintained M2 or Shopify installation. The question is not whether to migrate, but how to do it without disrupting a live business.
We've run migrations for established M1 stores where any significant downtime would be commercially catastrophic. Our migration approach uses a parallel-running environment, data synchronisation, and a delta migration strategy that keeps the M1 store live until the final DNS cutover — which takes minutes, not hours.

Migration failures are almost always caused by inadequate data migration testing and extension dependency management. We've solved both.
Most migration failures share the same root causes: data that was mapped incorrectly and not tested with real transactions, M1 extensions that were replaced with M2 equivalents that behave differently, and a migration plan that required downtime for a live business. Our migration methodology addresses all three systematically.
We've taken over migrations from other agencies where the M2 environment was built but critical M1 functionality was missing, the order data had mapping errors that would corrupt the customer order history, and the team had no plan for handling orders placed during the cutover window. Rescuing a failed migration is harder than running a correct one — we build correctly from the start.
Every service under one roof.

M1 → M2 Migration
Complete Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration with full data integrity, feature parity, and zero downtime cutover.
Data Migration
Products, customers, orders, CMS pages — every entity migrated, mapped, and validated before the cutover window.
Extension Migration
M1 extension audit: every business function catalogued and rebuilt or replaced with a tested M2 equivalent.
Performance Improvement
Every migration includes performance configuration — Varnish, Redis, Elasticsearch — that delivers 2x+ the performance of the legacy platform.
SEO Preservation
Complete URL mapping, 301 redirects, and 90-day ranking monitoring. Zero organic traffic loss on every migration we've run.
Theme Redesign
Migration is the right time to redesign the storefront. We build custom M2 themes as part of every migration project.
Security Baseline
Post-migration security baseline: M2 security patches current, PCI compliance review, and vulnerability scan before launch.
Parallel Environment
M2 environment built and tested while M1 stays live. Your team signs off on the M2 build before a single customer sees it.
30-Day Hypercare
Post-launch monitoring period: daily performance checks, data integrity validation, and dedicated developer support.
The platforms we build on.
We're platform-agnostic but opinionated. Every platform recommendation is made after understanding your business model, your team's capability, and your growth plans — not because it's easiest for us.
Magento Data Migration Tool
Data migrationAdobe's official data migration tool augmented with custom migration scripts for entity types and data structures the standard tool doesn't handle — particularly for stores with complex custom attributes or non-standard data models.
Magento 2.4.x
Target platformMigration target is always the current Magento 2.4.x release — the only supported version receiving security patches. We don't migrate to older 2.x releases.
PHP 8.2 / Elasticsearch
Backend + SearchCurrent PHP 8.2 and Elasticsearch or OpenSearch configured as part of every M2 environment. Magento 2.4.x requires Elasticsearch — it cannot run MySQL full-text search at this version.
Git + CI/CD
Version controlFull Git version control from day one of the migration build. All code changes tracked, reviewed, and deployed through a CI/CD pipeline — never manual deployments.
New Relic / Blackfire
Performance profilingNew Relic APM for production monitoring and Blackfire.io for development performance profiling — ensuring the migrated store performs better than the legacy environment from day one.
Screaming Frog
URL auditingPre-migration URL crawl and post-migration redirect verification using Screaming Frog. Every redirect is tested, every canonical is verified, and every indexable URL is confirmed accessible post-launch.

Answers, before you ask.
The most common questions we hear about services, process, timelines, and fit — answered plainly.
A focused M1 to M2 migration can launch in 4-8 weeks when the catalogue and extension scope is controlled. Complex stores with many custom extensions, large catalogues, or ERP integrations are staged so the production cutover happens as quickly and safely as possible.

Why Magento 1 Stores Are Still Being Hacked in 2026 (And What to Do About It)
Six years after Magento 1's end-of-life, tens of thousands of M1 stores are still running in production — many with credit card skimming malware already installed. We break down the actual attack vectors, the realistic timeline from installation to discovery, and the migration options for business owners who've delayed.
