Headless migration
from Shopify or Magento [
without pausing sales.]
We run headless migrations for live stores on Shopify Plus, Magento and WooCommerce, moving them to Medusa.js and Next.js. The work is done in phases, on parallel environments and with a rollback plan, rather than in a single weekend switchover.
Why migrations go wrong.
Many replatforming projects lose organic traffic and run into data problems with orders, prices, stock and redirects. A single big-bang launch hides these issues until the first sales peak.
A migration done in stages.
We map the catalogue, integrations and risks before changing any code. We work on parallel environments, prepare a 1:1 redirect map, validate the data, keep a rollback plan and check everything in Google Search Console after launch. The store keeps taking orders throughout.
What's in scope.
- Catalogue, data and integration audit
- 1:1 301 redirect map to protect SEO
- Data migration with validation and reconciliation
- Parallel environments and phased cutover
- Rollback plan and post-launch monitoring
- 30 days of stabilisation after go-live
Questions clients ask.
[ 01 ]Will we lose Google rankings?
Not if the migration is prepared properly. We build a 1:1 301 redirect map, keep URL structures where possible and validate the result in Search Console after launch. Organic traffic is the first thing we protect.
[ 02 ]Will the store go offline?
No. We work on parallel environments and switch traffic over in phases, so sales continue throughout.
[ 03 ]What do you migrate from?
Most often Shopify Plus → Medusa.js, Magento → headless and WooCommerce → Next.js. We don't build new WooCommerce stores; we only migrate away from it.
[ 04 ]Can you move a Shopify or Magento store to headless?
Yes. We handle the storefront, the data model, the redirects and the cutover itself, so the migration doesn't turn into an SEO problem.
