Is Your Magento 1 Store Creating Business Risk?

Your Magento 1 store may still be processing orders successfully, but continuing to operate on a legacy platform can create growing security, performance, maintenance, and integration challenges.

Security & Compliance Challenges

Magento 1 reached end of life, which means businesses need to take greater responsibility for maintaining a secure and supportable store environment.

  • Limited access to official platform security updates
  • Greater responsibility for securing legacy code and extensions
  • Older payment and third-party integrations may become harder to maintain
  • Increasing security exposure as the technology stack ages

Performance & Customer Experience

Legacy themes, extensions, customizations, and infrastructure can make it harder to deliver the performance and shopping experience modern customers expect.

  • Slow or inconsistent page performance
  • Mobile experience limitations
  • Performance bottlenecks during traffic spikes
  • Increasing effort required to optimize legacy code

Maintenance & Technical Debt

As the Magento 1 ecosystem becomes more difficult to maintain, technical debt can increase the time and cost required to make changes to your store.

  • Legacy PHP and server dependencies
  • Outdated or unsupported extensions
  • Difficulty finding compatible integrations
  • More development effort for new functionality

Magento 1 migration is a business decision, not simply a platform change. The right migration plan starts by understanding your store's current technology, customizations, data, integrations, SEO requirements, and operational risks.

MIGRATION BREAKDOWN

Magento 1 vs. Magento 2: What Changes During Migration?

Magento 1 to Magento 2 is a re-platforming project, not a simple version upgrade. While your business data can be migrated, your theme, extensions, custom modules, integrations, and other customizations may need to be rebuilt, replaced, or reconfigured.

Migration AreaMagento 1Magento 2
Platform Architecture Core application structure Legacy Magento architecture Modern Magento 2 architecture
Products & Catalog Data Products, categories, attributes and pricing Existing Magento 1 catalog Data needs to be mapped, migrated and validated
Customers & Orders Accounts, addresses and order history Existing customer and order database Customer and order data migrated and validated
Extensions Third-party Magento functionality Magento 1 extensions Magento 2 alternatives, native functionality or custom redevelopment
Custom Modules & Code Business-specific functionality Magento 1 custom codebase Custom functionality reviewed and redeveloped where required
Theme & Storefront Frontend design and customer experience Magento 1 theme Magento 2 storefront rebuilt or redesigned
ERP, CRM & Integrations External systems and APIs Existing Magento 1 integrations Integrations reconfigured, replaced or redeveloped
SEO & URLs Organic search visibility Existing URLs, metadata and SEO structure URLs, redirects, metadata and SEO signals need validation
Search & Catalog Navigation Product search and filtering Legacy search architecture Modern search configuration based on the Magento 2 setup
Infrastructure PHP, database, caching and server environment Legacy hosting and software requirements Modern supported Magento 2 infrastructure
Testing & Launch Validation before production cutover Existing live environment Staging, UAT, migration validation and controlled cutover
Important: Not every Magento 1 component needs to be recreated exactly as it exists today. During migration, we identify what should be migrated, replaced, rebuilt, simplified, or removed based on your current business requirements.
GOT QUESTIONS?

Magento 1 to Magento 2 Migration FAQs

Get answers to common questions about Magento 1 migration, data, extensions, SEO, cost, timelines, and the migration process.

How long does a Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration take? +

A Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months depending on the size and complexity of the store. Key factors include product and customer data, store views, custom modules, third-party extensions, ERP or CRM integrations, payment and shipping integrations, and frontend requirements. We determine the migration scope and timeline after reviewing your store.

How much does Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration cost? +

Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration costs depend on the complexity of your store rather than simply the number of products. The main cost factors include custom development, extensions, integrations, database size, store views, theme requirements, SEO migration, and testing. We review your Magento 1 setup first and provide a migration scope and project estimate based on the actual requirements.

Will migrating from Magento 1 to Magento 2 affect my SEO rankings? +

A Magento migration can affect organic search performance if URLs, redirects, metadata, canonicals, internal links, or other SEO elements are changed incorrectly. Our migration process includes SEO planning, URL mapping, 301 redirects, metadata review, canonical validation, XML sitemap checks, and post-launch monitoring to reduce the risk of organic traffic and ranking loss.

Can Magento 1 products, customers, and orders be migrated to Magento 2? +

Yes. Magento 1 migration can include products, categories, customer accounts, addresses, orders, invoices, shipments, product attributes, pricing data, and other supported business data. Before migration, we identify the data that needs to be transferred, mapped, transformed, validated, and tested in the Magento 2 environment.

Can Magento 1 extensions be migrated directly to Magento 2? +

Magento 1 extensions cannot simply be copied into Magento 2 because the platforms use different architectures. During the migration, we audit existing extensions and determine whether each feature should be replaced with a Magento 2 extension, recreated as custom functionality, replaced with native Magento functionality, or removed.

What happens to my Magento 1 custom modules and custom code? +

Magento 1 custom modules generally need to be redesigned or redeveloped for Magento 2 rather than copied directly. We review the business purpose and technical implementation of each custom module, then determine whether it should be rebuilt, replaced, simplified, or removed as part of the migration.

Can my Magento 1 theme be migrated to Magento 2? +

A Magento 1 theme cannot normally be copied directly into Magento 2. The storefront needs to be rebuilt using Magento 2 frontend architecture. We can reproduce your existing storefront experience or use the migration as an opportunity to improve responsive design, performance, accessibility, and the customer experience.

Will my Magento 1 URLs remain the same after migration? +

Existing URLs can often be preserved where the Magento 2 structure supports them. When URLs need to change, we create an appropriate redirect mapping from the old Magento 1 URLs to the corresponding Magento 2 URLs. We also review canonicals, internal links, XML sitemaps, and other important SEO signals during the migration.

Can you migrate Magento 1 ERP, CRM, payment, and shipping integrations? +

Yes. Third-party integrations are reviewed as part of the migration assessment. Depending on the integration, the existing connection may need to be reconfigured, upgraded, replaced, or custom-developed for Magento 2. We test critical integrations in the staging environment before launch.

Can a Magento 1 multi-store website be migrated to Magento 2? +

Yes. Magento 1 multi-store, multi-website, and multi-language environments can be assessed for migration to Magento 2. The migration plan needs to account for store views, catalogs, pricing, customer data, domains, currencies, configurations, URLs, and store-specific customizations.

Can my Magento 1 store remain live while the Magento 2 store is being developed? +

In many migration projects, the Magento 1 store can continue operating while the Magento 2 environment is built and tested separately. The final migration and cutover process depends on the store architecture, data changes, integrations, and business requirements. We plan the final synchronization and launch process to minimize disruption to active operations.

How do you protect SEO during a Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration? +

SEO protection starts before development begins. We review existing URLs, indexed pages, metadata, canonical URLs, internal links, XML sitemaps, and important landing pages. Where URLs change, we prepare 301 redirect mappings and validate the new Magento 2 implementation before and after launch.

What happens to my Magento 1 order history after migration? +

Existing order history can be included in the Magento 2 migration. We review the order structure, customer relationships, addresses, products, invoices, shipments, and other required records before determining the appropriate migration and validation approach.

What is the difference between a Magento 1 upgrade and a Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration? +

Magento 1 to Magento 2 is not a conventional version upgrade. Magento 2 uses a different application architecture, so extensions, custom modules, themes, integrations, and other functionality often need to be replaced, rebuilt, or reconfigured. The project is therefore better treated as a structured re-platforming and migration.
