Magento 1 reached end of life in June 2020, and every month you stay on it means security vulnerabilities, no patches, and growing incompatibility with payment gateways and extensions.

Why migrating from Magento 1 is no longer optional

Magento 1 no longer receives security patches, PCI compliance updates, or extension support. Payment processors are dropping Magento 1 compatibility, and your store is exposed to security breaches that can cost you customers and revenue. Migrating to Magento 2 or Adobe Commerce gives you a modern architecture with improved performance, better checkout conversion rates, and a platform that will continue receiving updates for years. The migration is complex - it is not an upgrade but a rebuild - and doing it wrong means lost products, broken URLs, and months of SEO recovery.

Why merchants trust Acelerar for Magento migrations

Zero Data Loss Guarantee

We migrate every product, customer record, order history, and CMS page from your Magento 1 store. Our validation scripts verify record counts and data integrity before and after migration so nothing falls through the cracks.

URL & SEO Preservation

Magento 2 uses a different URL structure by default. We map every URL from your old store, configure 301 redirects, migrate meta titles and descriptions, and preserve your XML sitemap structure so you do not lose organic rankings.

Extension Compatibility Audit

Most Magento 1 extensions do not work on Magento 2. We audit every extension you use, identify Magento 2 equivalents, and build custom replacements for any critical functionality that does not have a compatible module.

Theme & Frontend Rebuild

Magento 2 uses a completely different frontend architecture. We rebuild your theme using Magento 2 standards, preserving your brand identity and user experience while taking advantage of the improved checkout and mobile responsiveness.

Staging & Parallel Testing

We run your new Magento 2 store in a staging environment alongside your live Magento 1 store. You test every workflow - checkout, search, account management - before we flip the switch. No surprises on launch day.

Post-Migration Support

Migration does not end at launch. We provide 30 days of post-migration support to catch edge cases, fix display issues, and fine-tune performance. Our team monitors error logs, page speed, and checkout conversion rates during the stabilization period.

From Magento 1 to Magento 2 in 4 phases

1

Audit

We analyze your current Magento 1 store: database size, custom modules, theme complexity, third-party integrations, and URL structure. You receive a detailed migration plan with timeline and risk assessment.

2

Build

We set up Magento 2 or Adobe Commerce, rebuild your theme, install compatible extensions, and configure integrations. The new store is built in a staging environment for full testing.

3

Migrate

Products, categories, customers, orders, CMS pages, and URL rewrites are migrated using Magento’s data migration tool and custom scripts. Every record is validated for accuracy.

4

Launch

After thorough testing and your sign-off, we perform the final data sync, switch DNS, and configure 301 redirects. Post-launch monitoring ensures everything runs smoothly.

We work with your e-commerce platforms

Our teams are trained on the platforms you already use.

Magento Migration FAQs

A typical Magento migration takes 8 to 16 weeks depending on store complexity, number of products, custom extensions, and theme requirements. Simple stores with standard themes and few customizations can be migrated in 6 to 8 weeks. Complex stores with custom modules, multiple integrations, and large catalogs may take 12 to 16 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during the audit phase.
Not if the migration is done correctly. We create a complete URL mapping from your Magento 1 store to Magento 2, set up 301 redirects for every changed URL, migrate all meta titles, descriptions, and canonical tags, and submit the updated sitemap to Google Search Console. Most stores see no significant ranking changes when proper redirect strategies are implemented.
Most Magento 1 extensions are not compatible with Magento 2 due to the completely different architecture. We audit every extension in your store, identify Magento 2 equivalents from the marketplace, and for critical custom functionality with no equivalent, we build custom Magento 2 modules that replicate the same business logic.
Magento 2 Open Source is the free, community edition. Adobe Commerce (formerly Magento Commerce) is the paid enterprise edition that includes B2B features, advanced marketing tools, content staging, customer segmentation, and cloud hosting. We migrate to either platform based on your business needs and budget.
We build and test everything in a staging environment while your live Magento 1 store continues operating normally. The only downtime occurs during the final DNS switch and data sync, which typically takes 2 to 4 hours. We schedule this during your lowest traffic period to minimize impact.
