# Magento migration without losing sales, data, or rankings.

Magento 1 hit end-of-life in 2020; every month on it is a security and PCI liability. Reed Dynamic migrates stores to Magento 2 — catalog, customers, orders, URLs, and integrations — with parallel builds and rehearsed cutovers so the live store keeps selling.

**Magento migration services from Reed Dynamic** cover Magento 1 to Magento 2 upgrades and replatforming from Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or custom carts to Magento 2. Typical cost is $25,000–$80,000 over 10–20 weeks, with every URL 301-redirected and integrations rebuilt. A recent migration delivered 30% faster page loads and a 25% conversion lift.

## Our migration process

1. ### Audit
  Inventory extensions, customizations, integrations, catalog structure, and every indexed URL. Output: a fixed bid and an extension disposition list.
2. ### Build in parallel
  Magento 2 store on staging with Hyvä or your chosen theme; custom modules rebuilt; ERP, payment, shipping, tax reconnected.
3. ### Migrate & rehearse
  Data migration scripted and run repeatedly against fresh exports until diffs are zero. Redirect map generated and tested.
4. ### Cut over
  Low-traffic window, DNS switch, final delta migration, redirect verification, rollback plan on standby.
5. ### Stabilize
  Search Console monitoring, performance tuning, and a 30-day post-launch support window.

## What gets migrated

- **Catalog** — products, configurable/bundle relationships, attributes, categories, images, tier prices
- **Customers** — accounts, addresses, groups, and (where the source allows) password hashes so nobody has to reset
- **Orders & history** — orders, invoices, shipments, credit memos for customer-facing history and reporting
- **Content** — CMS pages, blocks, blog posts, reviews
- **SEO** — URL rewrites, metadata, canonical structure, structured data, XML sitemap
- **Integrations** — ERP, WMS, payments, shipping, tax, email, analytics — rebuilt on Magento 2 APIs

## Magento 2 vs. staying put vs. Shopify

An honest comparison for stores deciding where to go next.

|  | Stay on Magento 1 | Migrate to Magento 2 | Move to Shopify |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Security & PCI | End-of-life since 2020; no patches | Active patches; PCI-ready | Managed by Shopify |
| Custom extensions | Keep, but unmaintained | Rebuilt as M2 modules | Often impossible; app-limited |
| B2B pricing / company accounts | Via aging extensions | Native (Commerce) or extensions | Shopify Plus only, limited |
| Multi-store / multi-brand | Yes | Yes, native | Separate stores |
| ERP / WMS integration depth | Deep | Deep, modern REST/GraphQL | App-dependent |
| Total cost of ownership | Rising risk cost | Higher hosting/dev; no per-sale fees | Low dev; transaction + app fees |
| Best for | Nobody, long term | Complex catalogs, B2B, integrations | Simple catalogs, speed to launch |

## Magento migration FAQs

**

### How much does a Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration cost?

**

Typically $25,000–$80,000. The biggest drivers are the number of custom Magento 1 extensions that need rebuilding (M1 code does not port to M2), catalog and order volume, theme complexity, and integrations. A paid discovery ($2,500–$5,000) produces a fixed bid.

**

### How long does a Magento migration take?

**

10–20 weeks for most stores. We run the new Magento 2 store in parallel, migrate data in rehearsals, and cut over during a low-traffic window with a rollback plan — so the live store keeps selling throughout.

**

### Will I lose SEO rankings when migrating to Magento 2?

**

Not if it's done right. We inventory every indexed URL, map each to its Magento 2 equivalent with 301 redirects, preserve titles, metadata, and structured data, and monitor Search Console after cutover. Our [migration SEO checklist](https://reeddynamic.com/blog/seo-impact-of-website-migration-the-definitive-checklist/) is the process we follow.

**

### Should I migrate from Magento 1 or move to Shopify?

**

If your catalog is simple and you don't need B2B pricing, multi-store, or deep ERP integration, Shopify may be cheaper to run. If you rely on those — or on customizations Shopify can't do — Magento 2 is the right destination. We'll tell you honestly on the discovery call; read our [platform comparison](https://reeddynamic.com/blog/woocommerce-vs-magento-vs-shopify/).

**

### Can you migrate from Shopify or WooCommerce to Magento 2?

**

Yes. Products, categories, customers, orders, reviews, and content are exported, transformed, and loaded into Magento 2 with attribute mapping and validation. Shopify handles (URLs) and WooCommerce permalinks are redirected 1:1.

**

### What happens to my Magento 1 extensions?

**

Each is evaluated: replace with core Magento 2 functionality, replace with a maintained M2 extension, or rebuild as a custom module. We give you that list with costs before the project starts — it's usually the biggest cost variable.

**

### Do you handle Magento 2 version upgrades too?

**

Yes. Minor and major version upgrades (e.g., 2.3 → 2.4.x), PHP version moves, and extension compatibility work are common retainer items.
