Magento 1 to 2 Components We Migrate
Themes, extensions, and custom codes from Magento 1 are not reusable on Magento 2 due to the different architectures of the platform versions. We attend to every detail, checking what components can be migrated directly, replaced by an alternative, or tailor-made new.
Data and settings
We migrate all data, including product inventory with names, descriptions, SKUs, images, prices, customer accounts, and order history. Moreover, we retain functional settings, such as payment methods, tax settings, shipping information, user roles, and permissions.
Theme migration
As Magento 1 themes cannot be re-used directly on Magento 2, we adapt or create themes from scratch to match the design and features of your online store. We migrate reusable assets, rebuild templates and layouts, configure theme-specific settings, and optimize the theme to be fast and responsive.
Integration migration
We update or reconfigure payment gateways, third-party integrations, and APIs used with the old Magento 1 store. We migrate shipping integrations, CRM and ERP systems, email and marketing tools, analytics, and other tools crucial to your business.
Extensions migration
Since Magento 1 extensions are incompatible with Magento 2, we update, find alternatives, or develop custom extensions to preserve all the required functionalities.
Custom code migration
We review, transfer, and/or refactor any custom code, scripts, and functions. After the setup, we test and debug them to ensure they work properly in the new environment.
Other components
We replicate server configuration, migrate SEO settings, provide general website enhancements, or take care of other elements crucial to the successful Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration.
Magento 1 to 2 Migration Services We Provide
We implement smooth, secure, and efficient full-cycle Magento 1 to Magento 2 migrations. Alternatively, our experts can join you at any stage of your Magento migration to deliver the requested services and solve current issues.
Pre-migration audit
Pre-migration audit is the most crucial stage of the migration process, which involves assessing all resources and creating a roadmap. It is vital to get an in-depth understanding of your requirements and architecture to analyze data volume, storage, extensions, third-party integrations, and custom functionality, as these will impact the scope of your project.
Migration
Depending on the project's complexity, we opt for the most suitable migration method. Our Magento developers create a backup of the current Magento 1 database to prevent data losses. They then set up the staging environment and migrate data and settings manually and with migration tools. They install and customize themes, configure extensions, and integrate third-party apps to replicate the functionality of your current store.
Custom development
With over 10 years of expertise in Magento coding, our developers can provide additional customizations, such as custom themes, modules, and/or extensions, to meet your specific requirements or needs during or after migration.
Testing & quality assurance
Emerline ensures that your Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration occurs with minimal downtime, unnoticed by your customers. Our teams test the migrated stores in the staging environment, validate data to prevent losses, run functional and performance testing, and fix bugs.
SEO enhancements
Our experts can review and reconfigure your SEO settings to ensure the migration does not affect your rankings. They create custom URLs, configure sitemaps, set up proper redirects, verify metadata, and migrate GA/GTM events.
Support and maintenance
Even if your store seems to be running without any issues, your business is still vulnerable due to security risks. It is time to consider a move from Magento 1 to Magento 2. Emerline offers services to close security gaps, improve performance, or add features to your Magento 1 store.
Benefits of Migrating from Magento 1 to Magento 2
Stores running on the deprecated Magento 1 platform have security vulnerabilities, which may lead to leaks of confidential customer data. Moreover, Magento 1 lacks the numerous opportunities of a more advanced Magento 2, such as faster loading speed and scalability. Besides, extensions for Magento 1 may no longer be supported, which means it’s high time for you to switch.
If you are not there yet, Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration is vital, as you are missing the undeniable benefits of the upgraded platform.
Up-to-date tech solutions
Magento 2 has a service-oriented architecture, an optimized codebase, and the latest tech stack. It runs on a split database structure, with multiple databases for catalogs, checkouts, and order management. It also offers improved search and indexing, query optimization, and database cleaning. These technological approaches help solve the major challenges of Magento 1 related to performance, scalability, and extension compatibility.
Increased scalability & performance
Magento 2 boasts 50% faster page load times than its predecessor. Caching and CDNs ensure faster content delivery, regardless of user location. Magento 2 can handle up to 10 million catalog page views per hour and process a larger number of orders than Magento 1, meeting the high-traffic demands of growing businesses.
Enhanced security
Magento 2 provides robust built-in security features, such as CAPTCHA, strong password hashing algorithms, and two-factor authentication. The company has introduced the free Magento 2 Security Scan tool for real-time monitoring. Additionally, the platform ensures customer data safety via regular security updates for Magento 2.
Mobile optimization
Magento 2 themes are designed to be responsive and user-friendly. The platform automatically optimizes images to load faster on mobile devices. It supports PWAs, allowing store developers to easily create a platform’s native app-like experience. The mobile-optimized checkout also caters to the needs of the growing mobile shopping audience.
Streamlined checkout
Magento 2 offers guest checkout and automatic guest account creation. The checkout process has been simplified from six to two steps — shipping and reviewing & payment. Altogether, these improvements contribute to 38% faster checkout times, reducing cart abandonment and boosting conversion rates.
Simplified interface
The UX/UI of Magento 2 has been improved for both store developers and end users. An intuitive admin panel is more user-friendly and easier to navigate, which makes store management more productive. Meanwhile, optimized checkout operations contribute to a superior user experience and, ultimately, more sales.
