Adobe Commerce migration services
Move to Adobe Commerce without losing a sale, a customer, or a night of sleep.
From Magento 1, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, or SAP Commerce. Every product, customer, order, uniform resource locator, and ranked page moves. Cutover is tested twice before launch weekend. Rollback is one command, not a meeting.

Why most migrations go wrong
The old way of moving stores is the reason you keep putting it off.
You already know the horror stories. Search engine optimization traffic gone for 6 months. Customer passwords broken. Orders that vanished mid-flight. A platform that took 14 months and shipped 40 percent of what was promised. Here is what changes when source-platform specificity replaces generic playbooks.
The old way
Generic migration, source platform ignored
- One playbook applied to every platform. Shopify quirks, BigCommerce metafields, and SAP intermediate document flows treated the same.
- Uniform resource locators guessed at, not mapped. 90 days of organic traffic vanishes.
- Cutover rehearsed once on a stripped-down dataset. Real volume only seen at launch.
- Rollback is a message and a prayer. No tested path back to source.
- Cost emerges in change orders, not the scope of work. Final invoice is 1.7 times the quote.
The Redefine way
Source-platform specifics, cutover dry-run, rollback tested
- Per-source playbook. We have shipped from Magento 1, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and SAP separately.
- Every ranked uniform resource locator mapped to a destination. 1:1 redirect plan signed off before code.
- Two full cutover dry-runs on production-scale data. Real catalog, real customer set.
- Rollback is a single command, tested in dry-run 2. Source store stays warm for 14 days post-launch.
- Line-by-line scope before commitment. Change orders rare and visible.
Why now, not next year
Every quarter you wait is a quarter someone else compounds.
Three forces stack: rising platform fees, slower feature velocity, and a cohort of competitors who already moved. The longer you stay, the further the gap widens, and the more your migration scope grows.

Source platform to destination
Pick where you are. We will show you what migrating to Adobe Commerce actually looks like.
Every source platform has its own data shape, its own quirks, and its own list of things that break when ignored. Switch yours below to see what moves, how long it takes, what the typical range is, and which migration risk we plan against first.

What moves natively
Full catalog with attributes, configurable and bundled products, customer accounts and hashed passwords, order history for the last 12 months live plus archive, all content management system pages, blog posts, uniform resource locator rewrites. Extension audit completed on day 1.
Top risk we plan against first
Custom extension conflicts. Magento 1 extensions frequently do not have Adobe Commerce equivalents. We inventory every active extension on day 1 and assign a native-fit, marketplace-alternative, or custom-rebuild path before the scope of work is written.

Top risk we plan against first
Application functionality loss. Klaviyo, ReCharge, Loop, Stamped, Yotpo, Postscript all need a destination plan. We map every active application to a destination on day 5, not day 50.

Top risk we plan against first
Business-to-business account hierarchies. Multi-buyer, multi-location accounts often live in custom JavaScript Object Notation fields. We extract these on day 3 and design the Adobe Commerce business-to-business company structure before development begins.

What moves natively
Products, variations, attributes, customers, orders, coupons, blog posts and pages. The pain is rarely the data, it is the plugin sprawl. We audit every active plugin and decide native, extension, or custom in week 1.
Top risk we plan against first
Performance reset expectations. Most WooCommerce stores plateau at 50,000 stock-keeping units and noticeable slowdown. Adobe Commerce on Cloud handles 5 times that. We benchmark current performance on day 1 so the lift is measurable on launch day.

Most business-to-business logic in Hybris maps to Adobe Commerce business-to-business with cleaner extension points.
Top risk we plan against first
SAP enterprise resource planning integration continuity. The store must keep talking to SAP S/4HANA or ECC during cutover. We dual-write to both stores for the final 7 days, so no order, invoice, or stock event drops.

Data entity map
Every entity you depend on, accounted for before the first commit.
A migration is not a "move the database" project. It is a series of yes-or-no decisions about every entity in your store. Here is the live ledger we hand you on day 3, replacing the spreadsheet most agencies promise on week 4.
| Entity | Method | Verification | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Products and variants | Extract-transform-load with stock-keeping unit and global trade item number match | Row-count and price-parity check | Native |
| Customer accounts | Hash-preserving import, no reset | Login-with-old-password test | Native |
| Order history | Read-only archive plus last 12 months live | Total-count and amount reconciliation | Native |
| Uniform resource locator rewrites and search engine optimization | 1:1 301 map, signed off in week 2 | Google Search Console regression watch | Native |
| Content management system pages and blog | Page Builder rebuild, content preserved | Side-by-side render review | Native |
| Promotions and coupons | Rule translation, active codes preserved | Discount math regression suite | Native |
| Reviews and ratings | Vendor sync (Yotpo, Trustpilot) or import | Star-count and snippet parity | Conditional |
| Business-to-business accounts and price lists | Company-tree rebuild plus segment pricing | Buyer-by-buyer price audit | Scoped |
| Enterprise resource planning, order management system, warehouse management system integrations | Dual-write during cutover window | No-drop event monitor for 14 days | Scoped |
| Payment tokens and saved cards | Payment service provider-side vault migration where supported | Tokenised checkout dry-run | Payment service provider-dependent |
Status keys: Native means moved with built-in tooling. Scoped means priced into the scope of work with a documented method. Conditional depends on your vendor stack. Payment service provider-dependent is limited by your payment provider's portability rules.
Risks and mitigations
The five fears, named. Each with a working answer.
Downtime during launch
Cutover is read-only on the source for 4 to 8 hours, overnight in your timezone. Dual-write keeps order events flowing. Most launches show zero customer-facing downtime.
Data loss
Two cutover dry-runs on full-volume data. Row-count, financial total, and stock-level reconciliation on every entity. Anomalies block launch.
Search engine optimization traffic collapse
1:1 uniform resource locator plan signed off in week 2. Schema, alternate language tags, sitemaps, robots, and canonical rules tested in staging. Search Console regression watch for 60 days.
No path back if it fails
Rollback is a single command, tested in dry-run 2. Source store stays warm and read-only for 14 days. You always have a working store.
Budget overrun by change order
Line-by-line scope before sign-off. Each entity, each integration, each application priced individually. Change orders are rare, visible, and signed before any clock starts.
Timeline you can hold us to
From signed scope of work to a live Adobe Commerce store in 10 to 14 weeks.
Five phases. Each ends in something you can see, click, and challenge before the next phase opens. Real dates assigned in week 1. Stand-ups public to your team.

Weeks 1 to 2
Audit and entity ledger
Every entity, every active application or extension, every custom field documented. Day-3 deliverable: the live ledger you saw in the section above, signed off by both sides.

Weeks 2 to 6
Build and data shaping
Adobe Commerce environment provisioned. Theme rebuilt or ported. Extract-transform-load pipelines drafted and tested entity by entity. Integrations stubbed and rehearsed against test endpoints.
3
Weeks 6 to 9
Dry-run 1 on full data
Production-scale data lifted into staging. Row-count, financial totals, stock-level reconciliation run. Failures logged. Pipelines patched. Re-run.
4
Weeks 9 to 11
Dry-run 2 plus rollback test
Second full-volume cutover, this time with timing pressure matching launch night. Rollback rehearsed and timed. Your team observes both directions.
5
Weeks 11 to 14
Cutover weekend plus 14-day stabilisation
Launch overnight in your timezone. Source store held warm for 14 days. Search Console regression watch, payment monitoring, integration health dashboards public to both teams.
Your team's time investment
Your team's time investment across a full build is 3 to 4 hours per week: one sprint review, async feedback on deliverables, and final quality assurance sign-off. We handle everything else.
Engagement options and cost ranges
Scoped before work starts. Line-by-line pricing. No commitment to receive a proposal.
Three ways to engage, sized to your migration. Every quote breaks down by entity, integration, and sprint, so you can see exactly where the money goes and what you can cut without breaking the launch.

Half Price Drapes
A large-scale ecommerce retailer specialising in curtains, drapes, and window coverings, selling across multiple channels with growing inventory and order complexity.
Problem
Data lived in too many systems. Inventory, orders, and customer records did not talk to each other. The ecommerce platform constrained conversions. Operational complexity across fulfillment, returns, and reporting grew faster than the team could keep up.
Solution
A platform migration paired with Dynamics 365 enterprise resource planning integration and Power BI dashboards. Inventory, order, and customer data centralised into real-time views. Storefront upgraded with extensive user experience research informing every conversion-critical surface, with no downtime through cutover.
Result

Annual revenue scale reached after the digital overhaul, supported by unified data and an optimised storefront.

Why teams pick us over other implementation partners
Source-specific. Cutover-tested. Cost-transparent.
The migration market mostly ships generic claims. Three things keep showing up as the reasons teams pick us after evaluating other implementation partners.
Source-platform specifics, not generic playbooks
Six dedicated source-platform deep dives, with the exact entities, risks, and timeline ranges. Most implementation partners ship one migration page and one generic playbook.
Per-source playbook
Two cutover dry-runs and a tested rollback
Two full-volume dry-runs before launch. Rollback rehearsed and timed. Source store warm for 14 days post-launch. Cutover is not the first time anyone has seen the real data.
Tested rollback
Line-by-line scope before any clock starts
Every entity, integration, and application priced individually. Change orders are rare, visible, and signed before work resumes. Typical partner billing is opaque until the final invoice.

Real reasons people hesitate
The questions teams actually ask before signing.
Five honest concerns we hear on every first call. Straight answers, not marketing copy.
Every ranked uniform resource locator is mapped to a destination uniform resource locator in week 2. The 1:1 redirect plan is signed off before any frontend code is written. Schema, alternate language tags, sitemaps, robots, and canonical rules are tested in staging. Search Console regression watch runs for 60 days post-launch. Average traffic retention across our migrations is 98.6 percent within 30 days.
Cutover is read-only on the source for 4 to 8 hours, overnight in your timezone. Customers can still browse during that window. Checkout pauses briefly. Dual-write keeps order events flowing for enterprise resource planning and order management system integrations. Most launches show zero customer-facing downtime above the noise floor.
Yes. Rollback is a single command, rehearsed during dry-run 2. The source store is kept warm and read-only for 14 days post-launch. If something blocks launch, you have a working store the entire time. We have used rollback twice in 74 migrations. Both times the launch went ahead 48 hours later.
Yes, in most cases. We use hash-preserving customer import. If your source store uses a hash algorithm Adobe Commerce does not support natively, customers are auto-upgraded transparently on first login. No password reset email blast required.
Quote and final invoice match in 91 percent of our migrations. The 9 percent that vary do so because of scope expansion the client signed off on, not surprises. Every entity, integration, and sprint is priced in the scope of work. Change orders are visible and signed before any new work resumes.
Honest about fit
A migration is the wrong project for some teams. Here is who we turn down.
Good fit
You will get value if
- Your store does $2M or more in annual gross merchandise volume and growth is being blocked by your platform
- You have business-to-business or complex catalog needs that software as a service rivals cannot serve cleanly
- Your team can dedicate 3 to 4 hours per week to sprint reviews and decisions
- You want a partner who shows the scope of work line by line, not in three bullet points
- You are ready to commit a real launch date in the next 6 months
Not a fit yet
We will say no if
- Your store does under $500k gross merchandise volume. A platform move is rarely your highest return-on-investment bet at that scale
- You need to launch in under 8 weeks. Migrations that fast skip dry-runs and rollback testing
- You cannot name a launch decision owner on your side
- You want the cheapest possible quote, regardless of method
- You are migrating because of internal politics, not because the platform actually blocks growth
