How LitExtension’s Magento Upgrade Works (Using LitExtension)
LitExtension’s Magento Upgrade Service helps you migrate store data from an older Magento version (Magento 1 or 2.x) to a clean installation of a newer version – including Magento 2.4.7, 2.4.8, or any version you choose. This is not a technical in-place upgrade; instead, we rebuild your store on a fresh Magento environment and securely transfer all your critical data. What you’ll get:- Seamless Magento upgrade (Magento 1 → 2, or 2.x → 2.x)
- Accurate transfer of:
- Products, categories, attributes
- Customers (with hashed passwords)
- Orders, invoices, coupons
- CMS pages, static blocks, blog posts
- SEO URLs, metadata, and canonical tags
- Post-migration support: recent data migration, re-migration, and smart updates
Step 1: Magento upgrade consulting with experts
Our migration consultants will analyze your current Magento store, business structure, and upgrade goals. Based on your specific requirements – including version target, store views, and custom fields – we’ll recommend a tailored migration plan that ensures data integrity and minimal disruption.Step 2: Magento store setup and data mapping
Once your new Magento store is installed (on your server or development environment), LitExtension takes care of configuring it for a smooth and accurate data transfer. Our team will:- Map all relevant data fields, including:
- Products, categories, attributes, and images
- Customer accounts and groups (with hashed passwords)
- Orders, invoices, shipping details, and payment records
- CMS pages, static blocks, blog posts, and SEO urls
- Ensure proper alignment of custom fields and IDs (e.g. product SKUs, customer IDs)
- Maintain data relationships to preserve filtering, navigation, and reports
- Preconfigure language, currency, and tax settings (if applicable)
Step 3: Perform the Magento upgrade
With your store set up and data mapped, our system handles the full migration automatically. You won’t need to babysit the process – it runs securely in the background. Once complete, you’ll have a fully functional Magento store with all your data right where it belongs. Our team will walk you through the results and assist with any final checks or updates. But we don’t stop there. Every migration comes with 30 days of complimentary technical support – so if you need help reviewing data, fine-tuning the setup, or syncing new entries, we’ve got your back. And because we stand behind every project, we offer a 100% refund guarantee in the rare event of a critical issue post-migration. What makes it even better? This process works across all platforms – from structured systems like WooCommerce to complex, legacy carts with custom quirks. With 12+ years of hands-on migration experience, we’ve encountered – and solved – just about every edge case you can imagine!Why Magento Upgrade Is Worth It (Top 5 Reasons)
Migrating to a newer version of Magento gives your business access to better performance, stronger security, and more flexibility. Whether you’re upgrading from Magento 1 or moving between Magento 2 versions, here’s why upgrading with LitExtension is a smart long-term investment:1. Full control over your costs and infrastructure
Magento Open Source is free to use – no monthly subscription, no platform lock-in. You choose your own hosting, extensions, and development services, giving you complete control over how much (or little) you want to spend. This flexibility allows you to optimize for performance without overpaying for features you don’t need.2. Limitless customization for your business needs
Magento is one of the most customizable eCommerce platforms available. From storefront design and checkout flow to backend logic and third-party integrations, everything is configurable. Upgrading gives you a clean, modern base to:- Build custom features
- Implement APIs or PWA solutions
- Replace outdated extensions with newer, more stable ones

- Multi-store, multi-language, and multi-currency support
- A powerful admin panel to manage everything centrally
4. A rich ecosystem of extensions and integrations
Magento offers over 4,000 extensions in its marketplace, covering everything from advanced analytics and SEO tools to CRMs, payment gateways, and marketing automation. Upgrading ensures your store stays compatible with the latest and most secure versions of these tools – allowing you to expand functionality without reinventing the wheel.5. Enterprise-grade security & compliance
Security is a core focus in every new Magento release. Magento 2.4.8 includes:- Updated hashing algorithms and password security
- Secure integration with payment systems and shipping APIs
- Compliance with PCI DSS, GDPR, TLS/SSL, and Adobe Secure Product Lifecycle practices
When Is the Right Time to Perform a Magento Upgrade?
If you’re unsure whether now is the time to upgrade, consider these common scenarios. If any sound familiar, a Magento update via data migration is highly recommended:- Your current platform is limiting your control or flexibility You want more ownership over your store’s structure, functionality, and integrations, but your current setup is restrictive.
- Your site is slow or unstable Poor performance, high bounce rates, and long load times are frustrating your customers and hurting your SEO.
- Your business has outgrown your current platform You’re managing more products, orders, or customers than your existing system can efficiently handle.
- Your site has crashed or become vulnerable You’ve experienced technical issues, downtime, or security vulnerabilities and need a more stable, modern foundation.
- You’re planning a redesign or store rebuild If you’re overhauling your store’s design, theme, or app stack, now’s the perfect time to upgrade alongside that change.
