Magento Website Migration Service

Service scope

MageHex helps migrate an existing ecommerce website to Magento by defining the source platform, target Magento environment, data scope, content requirements, storefront dependencies, and integration needs before implementation.

Website migration is broader than a simple data import. Theme, URLs, customer and order data, integrations, business rules, and cutover planning may all affect the final scope.

What We Review

Source Website

Review the source platform, available exports or APIs, data quality, content, URLs, and existing ecommerce behavior.

Target Magento Store

Confirm the Magento edition, environment, store structure, configuration, and technical readiness.

Migration Scope

Define which catalog, customer, order, content, media, URL, and configuration data should move.

Storefront & Integrations

Identify theme, checkout, payment, shipping, search, analytics, and third-party dependencies that must be rebuilt or reconnected.

Website Migration Process

01 - Assessment

Review the source website, target Magento environment, available data, and business requirements.

02 - Mapping

Map source entities, fields, content, URLs, and business rules to their Magento targets.

03 - Preparation

Prepare the target Magento environment, migration method, backups, and validation approach.

04 - Migration

Move the approved data and content using the agreed migration method.

05 - Validation

Check migrated records, storefront content, URLs, and relevant business workflows.

06 - Cutover

Prepare the production transition, final synchronization where applicable, and post-migration verification.

What We May Migrate

• Products and categories
• Customer records where permitted
• Order history where technically appropriate
• CMS pages and content
• Images and media where available
• Selected URLs and redirects
• Store configuration in scope
• Reference data required by the approved migration

Customer Prerequisites

• Access to the source website and available export or API methods.
• Access to the target Magento environment.
• A defined list of data and content that must be migrated.
• Information about theme, checkout, payment, shipping, and integration requirements.
• A decision for source features that do not map directly to Magento.
• Appropriate backups and cutover coordination.

Project Considerations

Migration scope and risk depend on the source platform, data quality, custom functionality, integrations, and target Magento requirements.

No zero-downtime, complete feature parity, automatic compatibility, or identical URL behavior is implied unless it has been explicitly validated and agreed.

Why Choose MageHex

Source-to-Target Planning

Migration starts with explicit mapping between the old website and the target Magento structure.

Data Validation

Migrated records and content are checked against the agreed source and target requirements.

Magento Context

Store structure, configuration, theme, and integrations are considered as part of the transition.

Controlled Cutover

Production transition is planned separately from the bulk data transfer itself.

FAQ

What websites can be migrated to Magento?

Migration is possible from many platforms when the required source data, access, and business rules are available, but the exact path depends on the source system.

What data can be migrated?

Common scope can include products, categories, customers, orders, content, media, URLs, and selected configuration, subject to source availability.

Is this the same as Magento Data Migration Service?

No. Website Migration covers a broader platform transition, while Data Migration can focus on defined datasets between systems or Magento environments.

Will my old theme move directly to Magento?

Usually not. Storefront design often needs to be rebuilt, adapted, or replaced for Magento.

Can URLs and redirects be preserved?

Relevant URL mapping and redirects can be included when the source data and target structure allow it.

Can third-party integrations be migrated?

Integrations normally require separate review because APIs, credentials, workflows, and provider behavior differ between platforms.

Can you guarantee zero downtime?

No. Cutover depends on the source system, migration method, synchronization needs, and project plan.

What should be prepared first?

Provide source access, target Magento access, required datasets, storefront requirements, business rules, integration details, and the expected cutover approach.
