Seamless, low-risk Magento migration services
Magento migration is the process of moving an online store onto Magento or Adobe Commerce, or upgrading it to the latest version, while transferring your data, rebuilding your design and reconnecting your integrations. Done properly, it means no lost data, no lost rankings and no disruption to trading, just a faster, more secure store ready to scale.
With years of proven Magento expertise, our UK based developers manage every part of your migration, from first audit to go-live and beyond. As a certified Adobe Solutions Partner we have moved stores of every size and complexity, and we treat each migration with the same care and precision we would give our own store, focused on minimal downtime and maximum performance.

Frequently asked questions
What is Magento migration?
Magento migration is the process of moving an online store onto Magento or Adobe Commerce, or upgrading it to the latest version, including transferring your data, rebuilding your design and reconnecting your integrations. At 5MS we manage the whole process from audit to go-live and beyond.
Will I lose any data during the migration?
No. We take full backups first and migrate your products, categories, customers, orders, CMS pages, media and configuration with zero data loss, validating everything on a staging environment before launch.
Will my Google rankings drop after migrating?
Not when SEO is planned from the start, which is how we work. We map 301 redirects for every URL, preserve your URL structure and metadata, carry across structured data, and monitor Search Console after launch to catch and fix any issues.
How much downtime will there be?
Minimal. Your current store keeps trading while we build and test the migration on staging. We schedule the final switchover for a low-traffic window and keep rollback ready, so disruption is kept to an absolute minimum.
Which platforms can you migrate from?
We handle Magento 1 to Magento 2, upgrades to Adobe Commerce and Adobe Commerce Cloud, and migrations from Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and custom or legacy systems.
Why should I migrate off Magento 1?
Magento 1 reached end of life in June 2020 and no longer receives security patches, so it carries growing security and compliance risk. Migrating to Magento 2 or Adobe Commerce gives you a faster, more secure, fully supported foundation for growth.
Do you rebuild my theme and extensions too?
Yes. Themes and many extensions do not carry directly across, so we rebuild your theme, replace incompatible extensions with Magento-native or custom modules, and replicate your custom features, often improving them in the process.
How long does a Magento migration take?
It depends on your store's size, data volume, integrations and how much redesign or custom rebuild is involved. We give you a realistic timeline after the audit and discovery stage, rather than a guess before we have seen the store.
Can you take over a stalled or failed migration?
Yes. We regularly rescue migrations that have stalled or gone wrong with another agency. We audit what has been done, identify the gaps and risks, and put the project back on a safe, structured path to launch.
Are you an official Adobe Solutions Partner?
Yes. 5MS is an official Adobe Solutions Partner with certified Magento developers, and over a decade of experience migrating and supporting Magento stores since 2011, with a 98% client retention rate.
How is your migration service priced?
Migration support is a flexible retainer where you pay for the hours you need, across three tiers: pay for the hours you need, a flexible retainer, or a fully managed partnership. For a tailored quote, download our price guide or get in touch.
