Visionsharp is a Web Design Agency in Manchester specialising in specific platforms and technologies. The list of our services can be found below.
We offer a specialist Magento Migration service. Whether you already operate an eCommerce or marketplace portal with another platform, or you want to migrate to Magento 2 from your Magento 1 website, our team can help you.
Magento 1 has now reached its end of life and now is the time to start the process of carrying out your Magento Migration.
When you upgrade to Magento 2 with visionsharp, you’ll have a website that is even better, faster, more flexible, and more reliable.
If your website is run on Magento 1, you should consider upgrading to Magento 2.
From June 2020, support and updates for all versions of Magento 1 stopped. This means that your website no longer receives vital code fixes and security patches included in the latest versions. These are implemented to ensure your store is a safe and enjoyable place for your customers to shop. Extension developers and payment gateways have also stopped supporting the older version of Magento’s open source platform.
Magento has made the process of keeping all your data simple. We can make use of the Magento data migration tool built into Magento 2 which ensures that all your products, orders and customer information is not lost during the upgrade process. This then allows the developers to work with your data and products during the Magento Migration process.
Visionsharp have put together a proven Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration service to ensure that the task is painless and effective. The process ensures that there is no loss of data which is vital to your business. In its simplest terms, the Magento 2 Migration steps are carried out as follows:
Our team analyses your current website to understand the features, extensions, payment gateways and any other functionality to create a clear and concise development plan.
We can develop the Magento 2 theme to have the exact same styling and design as the current website. However, this is a great time to consider redesigning your website with a fresh, conversion rate focused design to push you in the right direction to drive more sales.
Once the front-end theme of the site has been developed, we will then look to implement any agreed extension migration and integrations on to the Magento 2 website. This could include shipping rules and courier integrations, inventory management software and Payment gateway integrations such as Sagepay and PayPal.
With the use of a purpose built testing process, all aspects of your new Magento 2 website are tested internally. This ensures all features, integrations, custom code, and the front-end of the website works exactly as expected on all devices.
Testing rigorously is the make or break of the project, as issues with any Ecommerce website can severely affect conversion rates and customer confidence.
The migration of your data comes after the Magento 2 website has been fully tested. At this point, all data is migrated from your current database into the new Magento 2 database. This includes Customers, Orders, Products, Categories and Offer / coupon codes (cart rules).
Our tried and tested Magento 2 data migration process ensures all critical data is migrated quickly and efficiently. We take away any worries about the ability of your new online store or website to store data effectively.
With all the above steps complete, the new Magento 2 website is ready to go live. With the thoroughly planned out steps above, the downtime is minimal, and can be conducted at a time that best suits you. This ensures sales aren’t affected and your business can continue to flourish.
