Ecommerce Platform Migration
Moving platforms is risky. Orders can vanish, payments can fail, and SEO can collapse overnight. Our migration service is built to keep your store trading normally while we move everything across safely. No surprises. No downtime. No excuses.

What usually goes wrong
Lost Orders
Checkout breaks during migration. Payment gateways fail to connect. Orders disappear. Customers try to buy and cannot. You lose sales and trust at the same time.
SEO Collapse
URLs change without redirects. Google loses your pages. Rankings drop. Organic traffic vanishes overnight and takes months to rebuild.
Data Chaos
Customer accounts do not migrate properly. Stock levels are wrong. Order history disappears. Your team spends weeks fixing problems that should never have happened.
Why this keeps happening
Most migrations fail because they are rushed, poorly planned, or treated as a technical task instead of a business-critical change.
The developer promises it will be fine. The agency says it is straightforward. Everyone underestimates how complicated your store actually is.
Then the problems start.
- Checkout breaks because a plugin does not work the same way
- Stock levels are wrong because the data was not mapped properly
- Emails stop sending because nobody tested the new setup
- SEO tanks because the redirects were set up wrong
Every one of these problems is avoidable. It just takes proper planning and controlled execution.
A Boring, Controlled Migration
This is not a quick lift and shift. It is a staged, tested migration designed to keep your business trading normally while we move everything across.
We plan the whole thing before touching any data. We run the old and new stores side by side. We test every part of the checkout. We only switch when it is safe.
What we actually do
- Map your data before migration so nothing gets lost
- Run old and new stores in parallel to avoid downtime
- Migrate customers, orders, products and all associated data
- Test checkout, payments, tax calculations, shipping and emails
- Set up proper redirects to protect your SEO
- Train your team on the new platform
- Switch DNS only when everything is confirmed working
- Monitor the first few days closely and fix any issues immediately
The whole point is to make the migration feel boring. If you barely notice the switch, we have done our job properly.
What you get
A store that works. That is the whole point.
More specifically:
- Orders preserved so customers can see their history
- Customer accounts intact with logins still working
- SEO protected with proper redirects in place
- Analytics tracking configured and confirmed
- Payment gateways tested and processing correctly
- Stock levels accurate and syncing properly
- A store you can actually run without constant technical support
You also get proper handover documentation and training for your team. No mysteries. No guessing.
What you do not get
We are very clear about what this service is not.
- No surprise downtime. Your store stays live until we switch.
- No forced redesign. We migrate what you have. Design changes come later if you want them.
- No rushed launch dates. We go live when it is ready, not when the calendar says so.
- No excuses. If something breaks, we fix it. Simple as that.
This service is built for people who want the migration done properly, not quickly.
Platforms we work with
We migrate between most common ecommerce platforms:
WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, bespoke PHP systems, and legacy platforms.
If your current platform is particularly old or unusual, we will tell you straight away if there are any complications.
Pricing
Every migration is different. The price depends on how much data you have, how complex your checkout is, and what integrations need rebuilding.
We do not rush quotes. We look at your current setup properly, work out what is involved, and give you a realistic price and timeline.
This is not a cheap service. If your main concern is getting the lowest price, this probably is not the right fit.
If your main concern is avoiding a disaster, we should talk.
