At Plumrocket, we make sure you have minimal downtime so you can continue selling while we back up your existing Magento 1 store and migrate it to the new Magento 2 platform. There’s no chance that something goes wrong, as we carefully test it at every step and before launch. Your new site remains 100% compatible with all payment gateways and third-party integrations you used before, so you can continue delivering an even more exceptional customer experience.
This is where we ask you about your goals for the migration and review your current site for potential issues and areas for improvement. As a result, we define what features you would like to see in your new Magento 2 store and estimate the time and budget you can spend on it.
Our engineers will check whether your current server configuration meets the Magento 2 system requirements. If necessary, we’ll help you choose a new server and advise additional network configurations.
This step is the most important and risky, but we guarantee that everything will go smoothly, without data loss, even if we need to change any data type or structure. We migrate products, categories, customers, sales history, CMS content, and everything else that is required to transfer.
Once we have all the data transferred over, it’s time to build out the rest of your website on top of the foundation. We install equivalent Magento 2 extensions or develop custom ones so that your new store has the same features. We also recreate your existing custom functionality to be fully compatible with the new Magento 2 requirements.
Since it’s impossible to migrate your Magento 1 theme to Magento 2 due to a completely different technology the frontend is built with, we will create a new theme and optimize it to ensure fast website loading and convenient UX. Some projects require a theme installation and setup, others need developing custom designs to recreate your old theme and functionality.
Our skilled development team will set up all integrations on your new Magento 2 store with analytics and other third-party services you are using. This includes setting up affiliate programs, Google Analytics, ads conversion tracking, etc.
When the main development process is finished, we take care of all the final store settings. We set up admin and moderator accounts, store email addresses, admin security settings, etc.
Since customers expect a flawless experience on your store, we eliminate all possible issues that may occur at every stage of their shopping journey. We do final tests and fixes to make sure everything is working properly.
To make your new website 100% up-to-date, we disable your existing Magento 1 store and migrate the changes made since the last time we migrated data. It includes all data that customers added via storefront (created orders, reviews, profiles, etc.) and all operations with orders, products, and categories in the admin panel.
Finally, it’s time to launch your new Magento 2 store. All the data is backed-up and we switch the old website to a new one securely, with minimal downtime.
