Move to Magento 2 without losing your data or your rankings
Full platform migrations to Magento 2 from Magento 1, WooCommerce, Shopware and beyond. Data migration, URL redirect mapping and SEO continuity so you can trade from day one.
A migration handled well protects everything you have built.
Moving platforms is one of the highest-risk technical projects an ecommerce brand can undertake. Done badly, a migration can damage organic rankings, lose order history and break integrations the business depends on. Done properly, it is largely invisible to your customers and your search rankings.
We handle migrations from Magento 1, WooCommerce, Shopware and a range of bespoke platforms. Every migration includes a full data audit, structured redirect mapping and thorough QA before go-live. We recommend pairing the migration with a Hyvä frontend build to avoid a second round of disruption later.
Every product, customer and order makes the move.
Products, variants, categories, customers, order history and reviews: all mapped and migrated with integrity checks throughout so nothing is lost. We audit your data quality before migration begins, clean what needs cleaning and verify the Magento output matches what came in. Complex catalogue structures, configurable products and custom attributes all handled in the migration mapping.
100% URL redirect coverage before a single page goes live.
Every existing URL mapped to its Magento 2 equivalent with 301 redirects in place before launch. Meta titles, descriptions and structured data replicated in the new platform so search engines see a clean, authoritative transition. Rankings tracked from the day the new site goes live. We do not sign off until the redirect mapping is complete and QA has confirmed every key URL resolves correctly.
Stores we have migrated and built on Magento 2
Migration is not a single event. It is a process.
We audit your existing platform, build the redirect map, migrate the data, configure your integrations and QA the new store before anything goes live. Post-launch we monitor rankings, traffic and any technical issues closely. Anything that surfaces is dealt with immediately. We do not consider the migration complete until the new platform is trading cleanly and performance has stabilised.
Common questions about migrating to Magento 2
We handle migrations to Magento 2 from Magento 1, WooCommerce, Shopware, PrestaShop and bespoke platforms. We also handle upgrades within Magento 2 and Luma-to-Hyvä frontend replacements on existing Magento 2 installations.
Any migration carries some SEO risk. Our approach minimises this through thorough redirect mapping, replication of all SEO elements and close monitoring in the weeks after launch. Most clients see minimal ranking impact when the migration is handled properly.
Everything is migrated. Products, categories, customers, order history and where possible, reviews. We run integrity checks throughout to ensure nothing is lost in the transfer and verify the Magento output matches what came in.
It depends on data volume, platform complexity and whether a redesign is included. A straightforward migration typically takes 4 to 6 months. A large Magento 1 migration with complex integrations and a full design overhaul may take longer. We scope it honestly before any work begins.
Yes. Magento 1 is no longer supported and represents a significant security risk. We have migrated multiple M1 stores to Magento 2 with Hyvä, handling all data, URL mapping and integration rebuilds as part of the same project.
Yes, and we recommend it. If you are migrating to Magento 2 anyway, doing the Hyvä frontend at the same time avoids a second round of disruption later. We scope migrations to Magento 2 with Hyvä as a single project.
