Many eCommerce stores still rely on older Magento versions, which often lack modern performance enhancements, security patches, and mobile-first features. Migrating to Magento 2 is not just a technical upgrade—it's a business-critical step to future-proof your store, improve scalability, and enhance user experience.

Migration Approach

Comprehensive Audit: Our AI-assisted tools analyze your existing store's custom modules, extensions, and themes to detect compatibility issues.
Data Migration: Products, customer information, orders, CMS pages, and reviews are migrated with SEO-friendly URLs and structured metadata intact.
Theme Modernization: Legacy themes are converted from Figma or Adobe XD designs into responsive, mobile-optimized Magento 2 themes supporting Page Builder for flexible layout management.
Module & Extension Upgrade: Existing custom and third-party modules are upgraded or replaced to leverage Magento 2 features like multi-source inventory (MSI), Elasticsearch, advanced promotions, and layered navigation.
Third-Party API Integration: Payment gateways, ERP, CRM, marketing, and logistics APIs are verified using AI-assisted testing to ensure reliability.
Security & Compliance: Two-factor authentication, Magento security patches, and Symfony-based architecture best practices ensure complete store protection.
