We successfully handled nearly 546,000 entities moved across all completed and demo migrations, proving our platform's resilience even with highly customized data sets.

The total volume of entities processed this period approached 546,000, underscoring continued demand for high-capacity migration services. We saw 26 full migrations successfully completed, alongside 19 demo migrations finalized, setting the stage for future revenue streams. The most consistently active migration path remained WooCommerce to Shopify, securing multiple large and small storefront transitions.

Support Spotlight: Tackling Complex Customizations and URL Quirks

Our technical team addressed a variety of challenges, ranging from basic connectivity issues to advanced data restructuring requirements for specialized markets. A recurring theme involved connectivity instability, particularly 401/403 errors stemming from clients removing necessary API keys or having aggressive hosting security (like Cloudflare) blocking our bridge connections. However, the most challenging issues involved deep data mapping.

Resolved Technical Challenges:

  • Image Integrity: We deployed a crucial fix for an OpenCart to PrestaShop migration where images were failing due to spaces and special punctuation marks within client-side image file names. The custom solution ensured all product images were correctly parsed and migrated.
  • Fiscal Data Customization: For a ZenCart to WooCommerce migration, we navigated complex Italian fiscal requirements, where the client needed to map two existing tax fields on the source to four distinct fiscal fields on the target platform. This required recommending and evaluating specialized WooCommerce plugins capable of permanently storing this tax data in customer profiles, rather than just in the order details.
  • Recent Migration Success: Multiple clients benefited from recent data migrations, including a critical WooCommerce to Shopify update that required resolving shipping line invalidity (422 errors) caused by missing title and code data.

On the development front, efforts were heavily focused on platform stability and SEO improvements. This included preparing 100 new Shopify preview stores, refining sitemaps, fixing 301 redirects, and profiling Shopify import speed for large customer and order sets.
