Moving to Magento 2 the Safe Way

Magento 1 reached end of life in June 2020 and no longer receives official security patches, which makes it a compliance and security risk for any store taking payments. Other merchants come to Magento 2 from WooCommerce or Shopify because they need multi-store, B2B pricing, complex catalogues or more control over their platform.

A migration has three parts: data (products, categories, customers, orders, reviews and content), functionality (extensions, customisations and integrations rebuilt for Magento 2) and search visibility (URLs, metadata and redirects). Most migration problems come from treating it as only the first part.

For Magento 1 we use Adobe's Data Migration Tool with custom mapping where needed. For other platforms we write import scripts against their APIs or exports. Every migration is rehearsed, reconciled and repeated with a final delta before go-live.

Magento 1 to Magento 2: What Actually Changes

Magento 2 is a different application, not an upgrade of Magento 1. The database structure, module system, theme system and APIs all changed. Data can be moved with Adobe's Data Migration Tool, but themes and extensions must be rebuilt or replaced.

The Data Migration Tool runs in three modes: settings (configuration and websites), data (catalogue, customers, orders, CMS and more) and delta (changes made in Magento 1 since the last run). Delta mode is what makes a short cutover possible: we migrate everything in advance, then move only the latest orders and customers during the final freeze.

Custom tables and extension data need mapping files, and some data — such as third-party module records — may need custom import scripts. We list every source table during discovery so nothing is missed.

Because a new theme is needed anyway, most Magento 1 merchants now launch Magento 2 directly on Hyvä rather than building a Luma theme first.

Migration Without Surprises

The two things merchants fear most are lost data and lost rankings. Our process is designed around both.

🧾

Reconciled data

Record counts and spot checks for every entity after each test migration, signed off by you.

🔁

Rehearsed cutover

At least one full rehearsal of the go-live sequence, so the real cutover is predictable and short.

🔎

SEO protected

Every indexed URL is mapped to its new equivalent, and redirects are tested before launch.

🧭

Better than before

We use the migration to remove old workarounds and unused features rather than copying them.

How a Migration Runs

Your current store keeps trading until the planned cutover.

Discovery

Inventory of data, features, extensions, integrations and URLs on the current platform.

Build Magento 2

Install 2.4.9, build the theme and rebuild required features and integrations.

Test migrations

Run data migrations to staging, reconcile records and fix mapping issues.

UAT and SEO checks

Your team tests the new store; we verify redirects, metadata and tracking.

Cutover and hypercare

Freeze, final delta migration, DNS switch and close monitoring after launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some fluctuation is normal after any replatforming. A complete redirect map, preserved metadata and fast pages minimise the impact, and we monitor Search Console closely after launch.
It depends on how the source platform stores them. Magento 1 password hashes can be migrated; for other platforms we usually set up a password reset journey.
Typically 8 to 14 weeks for a mid-size store, depending on extensions, customisations and integrations.
Yes. Orders, invoices, shipments and credit memos can be migrated so customers and your team can see past orders.
Usually yes. Building the new store on Hyvä avoids paying for a Luma theme now and a Hyvä migration later.
