Magento Migration Services
Migrating to Magento is more than moving store data. It requires careful planning across data mapping, catalog structure, customer records, order history, SEO URLs, store views, custom fields, extension-related data, testing, and post-migration updates.
LitExtension provides Magento migration services for merchants moving to Magento Open Source, Magento 2, or Adobe Commerce. Our Magento migration experts help assess your current store, prepare the migration scope, transfer essential data, map complex records, preserve SEO-critical URLs, validate migration results, and support migration-related updates after launch.
Explore the Magento migration scenarios LitExtension can support, or schedule a consultation to review your project scope with our experts.
What Magento Migration Cases Does LitExtension Support?
Magento migration projects can vary depending on your current platform, Magento version, store structure, custom logic, integrations, and business requirements. LitExtension supports a wide range of Magento migration scenarios, including:

- Migrating from Magento 1 to Magento 2 when you need to upgrade your store while preserving key business data and store structure.

- Supporting migration projects that require SEO URL mapping, custom data handling, extension-related data review, integration data review, QA testing, recent data migration, and post-migration assistance.
For complex Magento migration projects, LitExtension can review your current store setup, define the migration scope, identify technical risks, and recommend a tailored migration plan based on your timeline, budget, and business goals.
Depending on the agreed scope, a Magento migration project may include data mapping, catalog restructuring, SEO redirect planning, custom field handling, extension-related data mapping, integration data review, QA testing, recent data migration, and post-migration support.

How Magento Migration Works with LitExtension
LitExtension offers two ways to migrate your store to Magento, Magento 2, or Adobe Commerce: an automated self-service migration for standard data transfers, and a fully managed All-in-One Migration Service for complex projects. Choose the method that fits your store structure, data requirements, and support needs.
#1: Link Your Source and Target Carts
Select your current platform as the Source Cart and Magento as the Target Cart. Then enter the required store URLs and follow the setup instructions to connect both stores before the migration begins.
#2: Select Your Data Entities to Migrate
Choose the entities you want to include in your Magento 2 data migration, such as products, categories, customers, orders, manufacturers, reviews, CMS pages, SEO URLs, metadata, and more. Only the selected data will be transferred to your new Magento store.
#3: Start the Magento Migration
Run the full migration to Magento and wait for the chosen data to be transferred. The process runs automatically in the background, so you can step away without business interruption.
#1: Consultation With LitExtension Experts
Our Magento migration experts review your current store setup, data structure, technical requirements, and business goals. We help identify custom fields, third-party data, integrations, SEO requirements, and special handling needs so the project scope is clear before migration begins.
#2: Data Mapping and Magento Setup by Experts
LitExtension experts prepare the Magento migration environment, configure the required setup, and map your store data to Magento’s structure. This may include catalog structure, attributes, custom options, customer groups, store views, extension-related data, integrations, and SEO URL mapping depending on your project scope.
#3: Perform Full Magento Migration and Review Results
Once everything is ready, LitExtension experts perform the full Magento migration and monitor the process closely. After the transfer is complete, our team reviews the migrated results, checks key data records, and supports post-migration adjustments before launch.
How LitExtension Experts Deliver All-in-One Magento Migration Services
With LitExtension’s All-in-One Migration Service, our Magento migration experts manage the project for you from scope review and migration planning to data mapping, demo migration, full transfer, QA testing, launch preparation, and post-migration support.
After reviewing your current store structure, technical requirements, and business goals, we prepare a clear migration plan and carry out each step based on the agreed scope.
Our All-in-One Magento migration service is delivered through the following 7 steps:
-
Step 1. Technical consultation
-
Step 2. Pre-migration preparation
-
Step 3. Demo migration
-
Step 4. Full Magento migration
-
Step 5. Migration results testing
-
Step 6. Post-migration updates
-
Step 7. Customer support
Here’s how your Magento migration project unfolds, step by step:
Step 1. Technical Consultation
After you contact LitExtension, our team reviews your current store setup, data structure, migration goals, and technical requirements in detail. This includes checking your source platform, Magento target version, data export method, custom fields, third-party extension data, integrations, SEO requirements, and any non-standard database structures.
Our Magento migration experts validate the project scope upfront and identify special handling requirements or potential risks before the migration begins.
Once the scope is confirmed, we prepare a Service Level Agreement (SLA) that outlines the agreed requirements, responsibilities, timeline, and support terms. After both sides approve the SLA, the Magento migration project officially starts.
Step 2. Pre-Migration Preparation
Once the project starts, we prepare your Magento environment for migration. This may include setting up required extensions, configuring the migration environment, checking the target Magento store, and confirming whether the selected entities can be transferred as expected.
At this stage, our team also prepares data mapping and technical configuration based on your store structure. If your current store uses custom fields, non-standard formats, third-party extensions, multiple store views, or custom workflows, we adjust the migration setup so the data can align with Magento’s structure as closely as possible.
For projects involving theme redesign, extension replacement, integrations, or custom functionality, LitExtension experts can review the scope and coordinate the required preparation before the full migration.
If extra custom handling, development work, or additional fees are required, we confirm them with you before proceeding.
Step 3. Demo Migration
Once the Magento environment is ready, we run a demo migration with a sample of your selected data. Depending on your migration scope, the sample may include products, categories, customers, orders, attributes, reviews, CMS pages, SEO URLs, metadata, and multilingual content.
This preview helps you review how the migrated data appears and works inside Magento before the full transfer begins. It also allows our team to detect formatting issues, mapping errors, missing relationships, or technical problems early.
After you review and approve the demo results, we proceed with the full Magento migration.
Note: For smaller stores with fewer than 2,000 total entities, this step can be skipped unless you specifically request it.
Step 4. Full Magento Migration
After you approve the demo results, LitExtension experts launch the full Magento migration. Our team manages the migration execution, backend configuration, and data transfer monitoring to help detect and resolve issues as early as possible.
A key advantage of the All-in-One Migration Service is that it includes extra migration options from the Automated package by default. Essential options such as 301 redirects help old URLs point to the correct Magento pages and reduce SEO risks during the transition.
Step 5. Migration Results Testing
After the migration is complete, our team performs quality checks to verify the migrated data against the agreed project scope.
We review key entities and data fields such as products, categories, customers, orders, attributes, reviews, CMS pages, SEO URLs, metadata, and multilingual content for completeness and accuracy. If any issue is found, our team works to correct it so the migrated data matches your original store setup as closely as possible.
For complex projects, this step may also include checking store views, catalog relationships, extension-related data, integrations, and launch-critical records before your Magento store goes live.
Step 6. Post-Migration Updates
Even after your Magento store goes live, LitExtension continues to support the transition.
Because your old store may remain active during migration, new orders, updated products, or new customer accounts may appear before the final switch. To help keep your Magento store accurate after launch, LitExtension provides post-migration services where applicable, including:
-
Recent Data Migration: transfer newly created data after the initial migration.
-
Re-migration: restart the migration if needed to resolve migration-related issues.
-
Smart Update: sync data that was updated on your old store during or after the full migration.
You also receive technical support to help resolve migration-related issues after your new Magento store is live, based on the selected service plan.
Step 7. Customer Support
During and after the migration, LitExtension’s support team remains available to help with migration-related questions or issues. Our team provides support through the agreed support channels and response commitments outlined in your service plan.
Popular Questions About Magento Migration Services
During the migration carried out by LitExtension, your store remains fully operational with no downtime and no impact on its overall performance. In other words, the migration itself will not slow down your server or affect your store speed. However, your website performance depends heavily on the hosting provider you use and the hosting plan you choose. If your Magento store contains a large amount of data such as products, customers, and orders, loading speed may be influenced by your server resources. For that reason, you should check carefully whether your hosting environment meets Magento system requirements.
Yes. LitExtension allows you to transfer reviews to or from Magento. Magento comes with three default rating criteria for products: quality, price, and value. These ratings are shown as an average score on category pages and product detail pages. When you use LitExtension’s automated migration service, product ratings from your Source Store are moved correctly into these three Magento rating fields, so each field will reflect the same score after migration. For instance, if product AAA has a 4-star overall rating on your current store, once it is migrated to Magento, that same product will display a 4-star score for quality, price, and value. Please note that migrated reviews may not be visible on the storefront right away unless their visibility settings are enabled. To display them on the front-end, follow the instructions below:
-
- From the Admin panel, go to Store -> Ratings
- Choose any rating item under quality, price, and value that you would like to display on the storefront
- In the Rating Visibility section, set Visibility In to the appropriate store view where the ratings and reviews should appear. (Press and hold the Ctrl key to select more than one option.)
- Click the Save Rating button to finish.

Yes, it is possible. LitExtension support migration customers password from 50+ eCommerce platform to Magento (Adobe Commerce Migration). Please visit here for free download and to learn how it works.
Yes, LitExtension can migrate CMS pages to
Magento.
However, there are a few specific limitations to note.
Magento’s default CMS pages are not included in the migration. These pages include:
- “no-route” (the 404 page)
- “home”
- “about-magento-demo-store” (the About Us page)
- “customer-service”
- “enable-cookies”
- “privacy-policy-cookie-restriction-mode”
Yes, LitExtension provides the migration of invoices within Magento. It means that you can migrate invoices in Magento 2 migration service.
Yes, LitExtension is able to migrate your attributes successfully.
Please be aware that during migration, LitExtension may automatically add the “src_” prefix to certain attributes and all attribute sets on your Magento store. This usually happens when the option “Clear your target site’s data” is not selected before starting the migration. The purpose of the “src_” prefix is to distinguish the newly migrated attributes from the existing ones on your target store. You can read this instruction for guidance on how to rename your attributes after the migration is completed.
This happens because these figures are recalculated automatically on the Target Store after the migration is completed. Since different Magento versions use different calculation methods for Lifetime Sales, the results shown on the new store may vary. Because of this platform-specific behavior, these values can appear inaccurate after a Magento data migration service.
Yes, it is possible. LitExtension support migration SEO URLs from 80+ eCommerce platform to Magento in order to keep your product’s ranking on Google and ensure that old addresses can continue working normally without 404 error. Please visit here for further details.
Yes, LitExtension can migrate manufacturer images to Magento.
However, Magento’s default manufacturer attribute only stores the manufacturer or vendor name. If you need to transfer extra details such as images, descriptions, or similar data, you will need to install a compatible extension on your store before running the full migration.
Magento uses its own product structure and counting logic. In this system, child products are treated as simple products and counted together with their parent products. Because of that, when you migrate from Magento to another shopping cart with a different product structure, the total number of products on the target store may not match the original count and can be displayed in a different way after Magento migration services.
LitExtension lets you keep your original Order Full IDs during migration when you select the additional option “Preserve order IDs on Target Store.” This helps maintain the same order IDs from your Source Store on the Target Store.
That said, preserving Order IDs in Magento comes with a few platform-specific conditions. LitExtension can migrate Order Full IDs to or from Magento only when the IDs contain digits only, with no letters or special characters, and when the “Preserve order IDs on Target Store” option is enabled.
For example, if an order ID on the Source Store is #17, it can be transferred to the Target Store as #17.
Note: If the Source Store order ID includes characters other than numbers, LitExtension will only migrate the numeric part after the zeros.
For example, #2-100000034 on the Source Store will be migrated as #34 on the Target Store.
