Shop migration
We treat a platform change as a repeatable migration process: inventory, mapping, test runs, redirects, integrations and go-live monitoring are planned before the final switch.
Typical starting points
The visible storefront is only one part of a migration. Product relationships, historical data, URLs and connected systems often carry more risk than the theme.
Deliverables
Use cases
The migration method depends on how much data, custom logic and external infrastructure is attached to the current shop.
Decision criteria
A migration is also an opportunity to remove obsolete data and functions. We define what must move, what should be transformed and what can be retired.
Quality & control
The final import should not be the first complete run. Repeatable test migrations expose mapping errors and edge cases early.
Validate counts, relationships and representative records
Crawl redirects and important URLs before launch
Test integrations and transactional flows in the target system
Monitor indexation, errors and data flows after the switch
How we work
The emphasis of each step depends on the project. The goal is to expose risks early and make technical decisions transparent.
We clarify requirements, data, users, operating responsibilities and technical dependencies.
We define page structure, system boundaries, integrations and the quality criteria that matter for the project.
The solution is built iteratively and tested with realistic content, data and business processes.
We prepare go-live, monitoring, documentation and the next sensible development steps.
Frequently asked questions
Direct answers to questions that often matter before a decision or implementation.
We inventory relevant URLs, map old URLs to appropriate destinations, implement redirects, preserve or intentionally revise metadata and structured data, and monitor crawling and indexation after launch.
Often yes, but feasibility depends on source and target data models, API access and legal requirements. We define the required history and test the mapping before final migration.
That is often possible with staged imports and a final delta migration, but the exact approach depends on the platforms, integrations and transaction volume.
Project start
Briefly describe the current setup, your goal and existing systems. We can then structure the most sensible next steps without forcing a platform decision too early.
