Adobe Commerce migration is a rebuild, not a copy
Every Adobe Commerce migration we ship — Magento 1 to Magento 2, on-premise Magento 2 to Adobe Commerce Cloud, or non-Magento platforms to Adobe Commerce — runs through the same risk-tiered framework. Data integrity. URL preservation. Extension audit. Performance validation. Cutover orchestration. Skip any of those and the new store launches behind the old one on day one. Here is the work, the timeline, and the failure modes we plan around.
Migration paths we run
| From | To | Timeline | Primary risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magento 1 (EOL) | Adobe Commerce Cloud | 14-22 weeks | Extension equivalents — 60% of M1 extensions have no direct M2 port |
| Magento 2 on-prem | Adobe Commerce Cloud | 8-14 weeks | Custom code compatibility with cloud env (no SSH, file-system constraints) |
| Magento Open Source | Adobe Commerce (B2B) | 10-16 weeks | B2B module reconciliation when custom B2B builds exist on OS today |
| Shopify Plus / BigCommerce | Adobe Commerce | 16-26 weeks | Product schema rebuild — different platform data models |
| Salesforce Commerce / SAP | Adobe Commerce | 20-32 weeks | Multi-store / multi-locale data and tax logic re-implementation |
6-phase migration framework
Audit & inventory
Catalogue every extension, custom module, theme override, third-party integration, and active SKU. Identify which need rebuild, which port, which to retire.
Architecture & data map
Cloud sizing (Pro vs Starter). Database schema mapping. URL preservation plan. Customer-group hierarchy. SEO-critical URL list with redirect strategy.
Build & data migration
New theme, extensions, custom code. Iterative data sync from source. ERP integration rebuild. B2B module configuration if applicable.
QA & performance
Functional QA across catalog, checkout, payment, shipping, tax. Core Web Vitals validation. Load testing under expected traffic. Security audit.
Cutover orchestration
Final data sync, DNS flip, 301 redirects deployed, search engines pinged. Rollback path validated. War-room support for the first 72 hours.
Stabilization & SEO recovery
Ranking recovery monitoring, edge-case bug triage, theme polish, redirect QA from Search Console reports, performance tuning under real traffic.
92% ranking preservation through cutover
Most migration projects lose 30-60% of organic rankings post-launch. Our average across the last 30 migrations: 92% ranking retention at 90 days post-cutover. The framework: complete URL map from source crawl, 301 redirect deployment validated against Search Console, schema rebuild verified before launch, sitemap and robots.txt resubmitted within 24 hours. Coordinated with our Magento SEO services + Adobe Commerce SEO teams.
- → Complete URL crawl + traffic-weighted prioritization
- → 301 redirect map (every indexed URL)
- → Schema markup parity (Product, Offer, FAQ, Breadcrumb)
- → Meta & canonical preservation
- → Internal link architecture re-mapped
- → XML sitemap regenerated + resubmitted
- → Core Web Vitals at parity or better
- → Daily Search Console monitoring for 30 days
