•Magento Migration
Magento Migration Services
Move your store off an old Magento version without losing your catalog detail, your customer accounts or your search rankings.
We audit attributes, store views, custom logic, B2B pricing and URL rules before the new store is built, then migrate products, customers and orders in checked batches. Magento migration services should make the commercial parts of the store safer, not just copy the catalog.

•Why Suff Digital
We prove the new store works on orders you have already taken.
Anyone can move product records. Magento migration services earn their fee on the part after that: proving your customer group pricing, your promotions and your B2B rates still produce the right totals on the new platform. Most quotes never mention it, which is why the first time anyone checks is when a customer complains about an invoice.

What Our Magento Migration Services Include
Six pieces of work decide whether your store arrives intact.
(06)
•Your product attributes rebuilt on the new platform
Attributes, attribute sets and input types mapped across deliberately, with anything the new platform cannot hold named and decided before the build.
•A decision on every store view
Each view assessed as a separate storefront, a sales channel or a candidate to merge, with the search implications settled in the same conversation.
•Customer groups and their prices, intact
Groups, segments and the pricing attached to them rebuilt on the new platform, then cross-checked against orders those customers placed.
•Every price and promotion rule checked
Catalog rules, cart rules, tier pricing and special prices re-expressed in the new platform's model and proved against your past order totals.
•Unused extensions get retired
We separate the behaviour you depend on from code the store no longer uses, and rebuild only what matters.
•Magento data migration handled in batches
Products, customers and orders move in batches, each reconciled against the source, so nothing accumulates unnoticed across a long import.
•The problems
Problems we solve on Magento stores
These six problems are what make a Magento migration expensive when they are found late.
Diagnose my site •01
Product details that do not fit the new platform
Magento describes products in far more detail than most platforms allow. Move without planning and that detail collapses into plain text, so filters stop working and comparison tables lose their source. Product counts can still match while useful detail is missing.
02
Thousands of filtered category pages have nowhere to go
Every filter and sort combination has its own web address, so a mid-sized catalog has far more addresses than products. Handle them with a blanket rule and the combinations earning you traffic land on pages that are close but wrong.
03
Your store views start competing with each other
Store views for different countries, languages or brands share the same products. Move them without deciding which is the main version, and Google sees near-identical stores splitting traffic one store would have kept.
04
Custom code without an owner
Pricing rules, delivery logic and integrations sit in custom modules written years ago by people who have moved on. An export carries what those modules produced, not what they do, so behaviour you depend on disappears.
05
Your B2B pricing arrives wrong for your best customers
Customer groups, tier pricing and negotiated rates are the most expensive thing to get wrong, because the customers who notice are the ones who spend most. A migration that reconciles perfectly can still bill your largest account wrong.
06
Order history turns up incomplete
Magento keeps order data in more than one place, and an export that reads only part of it produces records missing their line items or status. Support and finance find out weeks later.
Our Magento Migration Process
(06)
Phase 01
Weeks 1 to 2
We inventory your catalog, store views and extensions
Attributes, store views, customer groups, price rules, every extension and the systems connected to them. We also crawl your storefront for the addresses it really serves, including filter pages no export lists. The week ranges beside each step are an estimate. Your real dates are agreed in the proposal.
Phase 02
Weeks 2 to 3
We map your product data and sign it off with you
Attributes and attribute sets get matched to the new platform, and anything that cannot come across gets a decision: restructure, simplify or retire. Your store view structure is settled in the same pass.
Phase 03
Weeks 3 to 7
We build the new store and import in batches
Each batch is reconciled against the source before the next runs. We compare the result to your live store for page titles, content depth and internal links, fixing problems at template level so one change carries everywhere.
Phase 04
Week 8
We replay your real orders to prove the pricing
Customer groups, tier pricing, negotiated rates and any B2B workflow get checked against orders you have already taken: same account, same product, same expected total. Live test orders run end to end.
Phase 05
Launch day
We launch one store view at a time
Where several store views exist we move them in sequence, smallest first. The domain switches on a shortened DNS setting, and you agree the point at which we would roll back before each phase opens.
Phase 06
Weeks 9 to 12
We monitor orders and category pages weekly
Orders, conversion rate and category page performance get compared against the numbers from before the move. Filter pages get their own checks because they carry much of your non-branded traffic.
•Magento or Shopify
The difference between Magento and Shopify, and when each one is the right choice.
The difference is control against maintenance. Magento gives you a product structure you can extend and infrastructure you own, and you are responsible for all of it. Shopify gives you a managed platform and a fixed structure you work inside. Which is stronger for search is a separate question, and we answer it on our page about Magento SEO and how it compares with Shopify.
•
Magento wins when your catalog needs detail, your pricing is customer specific, or you must own the data
•
Shopify wins when you want hosting, patching and checkout taken off your plate
•
Moving from Magento simplifies your product structure and collapses your filtered category pages
•
Moving to Magento gives you control and hands you the hosting bill
•Managing the risk
Four Magento migration risks, and how each one is handled.
Magento migration services are worth buying for the failures they prevent. If a store view launch breaches the limits you set beforehand, we put that phase back using a rollback we already practised.
•
Search traffic. Filter pages earning traffic get explicit destinations, not a blanket rule
•
Revenue during launch. Store views move in sequence, so a problem hits one market
•
Your records. Order history sits in more than one place, so we export from the source
•
Connected systems. Stock, finance and delivery integrations run through code that gets rebuilt
Magento Migration Deliverables
Magento migration services should leave you with the plan, checks and evidence behind the new store.
Month One
Where you are moving from
✓From Magento 1 — An unsupported version, so this is a deadline as well as a project. We pull data straight from the source tables and plan the security work separately.
✓From Magento Open Source to Magento 2 — A Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration keeps your catalog structure and your customer data. It is the shortest route if your extensions have supported versions.
✓From Adobe Commerce — The same catalog work plus the B2B side: company accounts, shared catalogs, requisition lists and quoting. Each needs an equivalent on the new platform or a change to how you sell.
✓From Magento to a hosted platform — Your product detail simplifies and your filtered category pages collapse into a narrower set. Both are survivable if the mapping is decided before the build.
Months 2-3
Migration plan
✓Where every product attribute lands — Attributes, attribute sets and input types mapped to the new platform, with anything that cannot come across decided.
✓Which store views stay, merge or become channels — A written call on every store view, with the search consequences spelled out.
✓What your custom code actually does — Your extensions and modules, with the behaviour that must be rebuilt separated from code nothing calls.
Ongoing
Launch checks
✓Your old orders, replayed at the new prices — Account by account and product by product, totals compared, before any customer traffic moves.
✓Category and filter pages against your old numbers — Compared weekly against the coverage you had before the move, with every gap traced to a cause.

Want to know what your store would cost to move?
Send us your Magento version, store view setup and attribute count. We will tell you what survives the move and what needs redesigning. Our own fee for the move, which is not what a platform costs to run, falls between $2,500 and $75,000, and the lower end is small sites and startups. Your attribute structure, your store view count and the amount of custom code to rebuild decide where you land.
•Frequently asked questions
Common Questions
The paid edition is now called Adobe Commerce, after Adobe bought Magento and rebranded it. The self-hosted, open-source edition is still called Magento Open Source. Both run on the same codebase, so the real decision is not the name. It is whether you keep hosting and patching the platform yourself.
