Ecommerce Migration & Replatforming Services for Live Stores

Ecommerce replatforming is moving a live store from one platform to another, together with everything the store has accumulated: the product catalogue, customer accounts, order history, content, URLs and the integrations wired into it. It is not a rebuild with a copy-paste at the end. The build is the visible half; the half that decides whether it succeeds is data mapping, URL and redirect planning, and a cutover rehearsed enough that the store is not down and the rankings are not lost. Most stores should not replatform at all, and we will say so if that is what your situation calls for.

Not if the migration is planned around them, and this is the risk worth taking seriously because it is where replatforming projects most often lose money. Every existing URL is mapped to its destination before anything is built, 301 redirects are generated from that map rather than improvised at the end, titles, descriptions, structured data, canonicals and pagination behaviour are carried across, and internal links are rewritten to point at final destinations instead of hopping through redirects. After cutover we watch crawl errors, index coverage and rankings daily so anything that slips is caught in days. We engineer for no ranking loss and we will not promise it, because search results are not ours to guarantee and anyone who does is selling you something.

It depends far more on your data and integrations than on the platform you are moving to. The drivers are catalogue size and how cleanly products, variants and attributes map to the destination model, how much order and customer history moves with you, how many integrations have to be re-pointed and whether their APIs cooperate, how much custom functionality exists on the current store and whether it is still needed, and how much content and how many URLs are in scope. We scope it after a platform audit rather than quoting from a template, and we plan the cutover outside your peak trading period rather than during it.

That depends on what actually broke, and it is worth naming precisely before choosing a destination. If the constraint is transaction fees and an app stack, a hosted platform on better terms may solve it. If the constraint is a catalogue or pricing model the platform cannot express, a custom build is the honest answer. If it is performance or a front-end you cannot change, a headless or composable architecture over your existing commerce engine may be enough without a full migration. We are not a reseller for any platform, so the recommendation is not shaped by a partner commission, and sometimes the recommendation is to stay where you are and fix what is actually wrong.

Yes, and the honest part of that answer is that data is where migrations go wrong rather than where they go smoothly. Catalogue structures rarely map one to one, so variants, attributes, bundles and units of measure need deliberate mapping decisions rather than a default import. Customer passwords generally cannot be moved between platforms and need a reset flow designed so it does not read as a breach. Order history, refunds and partial fulfilments carry their own edge cases. We run repeated migration dry runs against a copy of your real data, reconcile counts and totals after each one, and only cut over when the numbers match.

In most cases the store keeps trading throughout and the switch is a DNS change at the end, with the old and new stores running in parallel beforehand and a final delta migration to catch orders placed during the transition. Whether that is genuinely zero downtime depends on your platform, your hosting and how payments and stock are handled at the moment of cutover, so we plan it against your specifics rather than claiming it as a feature. We also plan the rollback before we plan the launch, because a cutover you cannot reverse is a risk rather than a plan.

Yes, in both directions and between them: Magento 1 and Magento 2 to Shopify or to a custom build, WooCommerce to Shopify, Shopify to WooCommerce or to your own platform, and legacy or in-house stores onto something maintainable. Magento 1 stores in particular are past end of life and running unsupported, which makes their migrations security-driven rather than merely commercial. The destination is chosen from what broke on the current platform, not from a list of platforms we prefer to sell.
