Migration Services We Offer
WooCommerce to Magento Migration
Outgrowing WooCommerce? You're not alone. As your product catalogue, order volume, or B2B requirements expand, WooCommerce's limitations become roadblocks. Magento is purpose-built for the complexity that growing businesses demand.
-
Complete Data Migration
We migrate your entire WooCommerce catalogue, products, categories, customers, order history, and reviews, into Magento with full data integrity verification at every step.
-
SEO & URL Preservation
Your search rankings are protected with comprehensive URL redirect mapping from WooCommerce's URL structure to Magento. Meta data, canonical tags, and sitemap configuration are all handled.
-
Why Stores Outgrow WooCommerce
Plugin conflicts, slow page loads with large catalogues, limited B2B features, and checkout customisation ceilings. Magento handles thousands of SKUs, complex pricing rules, and multi-store setups natively.
-
Integration & Extension Mapping
We audit your WooCommerce plugins and map each to Magento-native functionality or equivalent extensions, payment gateways, shipping providers, marketing tools, and ERP connections.
Our Migration Process
Every migration follows our proven methodology, refined over 30+ completed migrations. We take a pragmatic approach, no unnecessary rebuilds, no scope creep. We migrate what matters, preserve what works, and only rebuild what genuinely needs improving.
Typical Migration Timeline
Every migration is different, but here's what a typical Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration looks like week by week.
-
Weeks 1–2: Discovery & Audit
Full site audit, data mapping, extension compatibility review, risk assessment, and detailed migration plan. You'll know exactly what's involved before we write a line of code.
-
Weeks 3–6: Build & Data Migration
New Magento 2 environment set up, theme development, extension porting, and initial data migration. Your existing store continues trading throughout.
-
Weeks 7–8: Testing & UAT
Comprehensive testing on a staging environment. You and your team verify every product, customer flow, and checkout scenario. We fix any issues found during UAT.
-
Weeks 9–10: Final Migration & Launch
Final data delta migration, DNS cutover with zero downtime, 301 redirects activated, and post-launch monitoring. Your new store goes live without interruption.
-
Weeks 11–14: Post-Launch Support
Four weeks of dedicated post-launch support to monitor performance, fix any edge cases, and ensure everything is running smoothly. We don't disappear after go-live.
-
Ongoing: Support Retainer
Transition into a support retainer for proactive maintenance, security patching, and continuous improvement of your new Magento 2 store.
Note: Complex migrations with heavy customisation, multiple integrations, or large catalogues may take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline after scoping your specific requirements.
SEO Preservation During Migration
Protecting your search rankings is a critical part of every migration we handle. We implement a comprehensive SEO strategy to ensure your organic traffic is maintained throughout the transition.

We run platform migrations into Magento and Adobe Commerce from every major competing platform. Every migration is handled by our in-house Magento development team.

Migration FAQs
-
How long does a Magento migration take?
It depends on complexity. A straightforward Magento 1 to 2 migration typically takes 2-4 months. Stores with heavy customisation, multiple integrations, or large catalogues may take longer. We give you a realistic timeline after scoping your specific requirements.
-
Will my store go offline during migration?
No. We build the new Magento 2 store in parallel while your existing store continues trading. The final cutover uses DNS switching and is completed with zero downtime, so your customers never experience an interruption.
-
Will I lose my search rankings?
Not if the migration is done properly. We implement comprehensive URL mapping, 301 redirects, meta data migration, and schema markup transfer. We monitor Google Search Console throughout to catch and resolve any indexing issues immediately.
-
What happens to my order history and customer data?
Everything is migrated. Products, customers, orders, reviews, and all historical data are transferred with full validation checks. We verify data integrity at every stage so nothing is lost.
-
Can you migrate my custom extensions?
We audit every extension on your M1 store, identify M2 equivalents where they exist, and port custom functionality where needed. We take a pragmatic approach, if a better M2 alternative exists, we'll recommend it rather than porting outdated code.
-
Should I migrate to Adobe Commerce or Magento Open Source?
It depends on your needs. If you require B2B features, managed cloud hosting, or Adobe's enterprise support, Adobe Commerce is the right choice. For most B2C retailers, Magento Open Source provides everything you need at lower cost.
-
How long does a migration from WooCommerce to Magento take?
A standard migration with product catalogue, customers, orders and URL redirects runs 6 to 10 weeks. Complex stores with custom functionality or ERP integration run 10 to 16 weeks.
-
Will my SEO rankings survive the Magento migration?
Yes, if handled correctly. We maintain the URL structure where possible and set up 301 redirects for every changed URL, preserving the existing SEO equity. Most migrations we run hold or improve rankings within 60 days.
-
What happens to my existing order history after a Magento migration?
All historical orders, customers and invoices are migrated to the new platform by default. You keep access to the full order history and customers can still log in with their existing email address.
