Magento 1 to Magento 2 Migration Service
Migrate to Magento 2 with zero data loss, zero downtime, full SEO preservation, and 60 days of free after-support. Fixed-price packages from $4,800.
Why migrate Magento 1 to Magento 2 in 2026
Magento 1 reached End of Life in June 2020. As of 2026, M1 stores have not received security patches in 6 years — PCI compliance is no longer achievable, and breach insurance carriers won't underwrite them. Migrating to Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce) isn't optional anymore; it's a contractual requirement.
Beyond compliance: Magento 2 is 50% faster on average, supports modern PWA / Hyva storefronts, has a cleaner extension ecosystem, and ships native B2B features that previously required extensions.
Our Magento 2 migration process
1. Discovery audit (free, 5 days)
We crawl your Magento 1 store, inventory products, orders, customers, custom code, and 200+ extensions. Output: a detailed migration plan with risks, timeline, and fixed-price quote.
2. Magento 2 build (parallel staging)
While your M1 store keeps trading, we build the Magento 2 version on staging. Theme, modules, integrations, all migrated/rebuilt. Weekly demos, full transparency.
3. Data migration (multiple syncs)
Adobe's Data Migration Tool plus our custom scripts move products, customers, orders, reviews, CMS, and configurations — verified end-to-end.
4. Cutover (zero downtime, off-peak)
Final delta sync, DNS switch, smoke tests — usually a 30-minute weekend window. Rollback plan rehearsed.
5. Stabilisation (30 days free)
Performance monitoring, bug fixes, search-console health check, and any urgent SEO 301 corrections.
What we migrate
- Products, categories, attributes, attribute sets, configurable / bundled / virtual SKUs
- Customer accounts, addresses, password hashes, reward points, store credit
- Orders, invoices, shipments, credit memos — full historical archive
- CMS pages, blocks, widgets, URL rewrites, redirects
- Reviews, ratings, wishlist items, comparison lists
- Tax classes, shipping rules, payment configurations
- Custom database tables (with mapping)
- Media files (images, videos, downloads)
SEO preservation during migration
The number one reason migrations fail: SEO equity loss. We protect it with:
- 301 redirects for every Magento 1 URL pattern that changes
- Meta tag preservation — titles, descriptions, OG tags, Twitter cards
- Schema.org migration — product, organisation, breadcrumb, FAQ markup
- Sitemap regeneration + Google Search Console resubmission
- Robots.txt review + canonical URL audit
- Performance budget — Core Web Vitals must improve, not regress
800+ migrations done, 0% organic traffic loss in measured cases.
Magento 1 extension mapping
Almost no Magento 1 extension works on Magento 2 — the architectures are completely different. Our migration includes a full extension audit with one of three outcomes per extension:
- Direct M2 vendor version available — we install & configure
- Equivalent M2 extension — we recommend a functionally identical replacement
- Custom rebuild required — we build a Magento 2 module to match the M1 functionality

Magento migration FAQs
