People Also Ask
Should I migrate from Magento 1 or upgrade to Magento 2 first?
Migrate directly from Magento 1 to modern platform. Upgrading to Magento 2 first costs $50K-$150K and takes 3-6 months, only to face the same limitations. Direct migration saves time and money while delivering better performance and lower costs.
What happens to my Magento extensions during migration?
We analyze each extension and either replicate functionality in new platform, integrate equivalent services, or build custom features. Most extensions have better alternatives in modern platforms with native features or app marketplace options.
Can I migrate my Magento custom theme and design?
Yes, we recreate your design in the new platform using modern responsive frameworks. Most merchants take this opportunity to refresh their design for better mobile experience and conversion optimization. We can match your existing design or create an improved version.
How do you handle Magento's complex product types (configurable, bundle, grouped)?
We map Magento product types to equivalent structures in the target platform. Configurable products become variants, bundle products become product bundles, and grouped products become product collections. All relationships, pricing rules, and inventory tracking are preserved.
What's the total cost to migrate from Magento?
Migration costs $75K-$150K depending on store complexity and customizations. However, you'll save $50K-$100K annually by eliminating Magento hosting ($24K/year), developer costs ($30K/year), and extension fees ($6K/year). ROI achieved in 12-18 months.
